4 Alcatraz of the rockies

Holmes was sitting within the Brownstone, alone, for Watson and Moriarty had both gone out to get something to eat.

The weather was fair.

The clock had just passed twelve, and Bell was

enjoying a good cup of tea, his pulse was around 60 to 100, and he now laid back in his arm-chair.

Holmes wanted to light a pipe, but he had promised Irene that he would quit, and as a gentleman, he would honor his word.

Holmes could hear the cars and people, his mind was in the midst of solving who the Zodiac-killer really was.

Bell would later give the police a generous tip.

he would afterwards give the police a generous tip.

Bell crossed his legs, put his long fingers together, and now saw a Spider-Napoleon at his window.

" You have come " said he with a smile, as the door of the Brownstone now opened, and in walked another gentleman, whose smile made you feel safe, but in his mind, he has already killed you 100 different ways… at least he would have, back in the day, but professor James A. Moriarty was now a changed man, and fighting on the side of the Angels.

" Greetings, Joseph " said Moriarty, as he sat down.

Sherlock got up, and asked;

" Earl Grey or Jasmine? " he asked.

" Jasmine, if you please "

Holmes now gave Moriarty his tea.

" Ah, this is truly soothing to the soul " said the old professor, as the tea hit the right spot.

" So, how can I help you, old friend? " said Bell.

Moriarty giggled.

" Not to be rude, but do you truly believe that I would need your help with anything "

" Well. You are still unmarried "

" That was a low blow "

" But still a fact "

The two men now laughed.

" A visit then? "

" Indeed "

" Perhaps a game of chess? "

" Why not "

The two gentlemen now sat down to play.

After a few matches.

" Are you letting me win? " Holmes asked.

" What makes you say so "

" You were the one who solved the Riemann hypothesis "

" A afternoon well spent "

" So, are you letting me win? "

" You are the detective, you tell me, " said Moriarty with his iconic smile.

After a few more games.

" How is Joseph? " Moriarty asked.

" I am fine "

" My little brother "

Bell smiled.

" He is truly remarkable, " said Holmes, from the heart.

" I could have told you that, " said Moriarty with an older brother's smile.

The men played a few more games.

" It is now time for me to leave, " said Moriarty.

Holmes finally commented on Moriarty's clothes.

" I see that Versace is still very grateful "

" I would say that he is too grateful, but he is a generous and kind man "

" What did you do with Andrew Phillip? "

" He is with my other student "

" At Florence? "

" Indeed "

James now put on his hat, took his stick, walked to the door, and then said;

" Till next time, Holmes "

He now walked out, where two of his other students were waiting.

" Did you have fun, Sir? " said Vincent Spaulding.

" I did "

" Where are we going now, Sir? " asked John Clay.

" To the rockies. I wish to check up on Andrew and the Unabomber " said Moriarty, as he would put those evil minds to good use.
