*Holmes stepped out from behind a column ((not that kind)) and quietly joined Irene. He carried a small, innocuous bag; he had survived on less.*
"Ms. Adler," *he murmured.* "The train awaits."

"I'm afraid not." *Came an all-too familiar voice from the top of the foyer stairs.
There he was, the Napoleon of Crime, cutting quite a figure in his formal opera attire.*

*Holmes froze at the voice. To his shame, he even considered running, though the thought was discarded nearly as soon as it emerged.*
"Professor," *he said icily, inclining his head.*

*Moriarty inclined his head in greeting*
"My dear Holmes, how pleased I am to see you alive and well."
*He threw a glance at Irene*
"Despite rumors to the contrary."

"Likewise," *Holmes said.* "Last I heard, you were not at liberty to find me, pleasurably or not."

"Ah, yes. Well, I am nothing if not resourceful, wouldn't you say, Holmes? It comes in quite handy, I've discovered."

"We are past trading facts we both know, Moriarty. What you intend to do with them remains to be seen."

*Moriarty stared hard at Holmes for a few moments, his gaze glittering.*
"Indeed."
*He leaned on the railing with one hand, the other still firmly holding his cane*
"Perhaps I shall take away your lady friend; or, perhaps I shall take you from her."

"No!", *Irene cried out. At first it seemed as if she was afraid for herself, but as she stepped in front of Holmes, it became clear which prospect had frightened her*
