John and Devon preparing their son.Later that night.....
On the arrival back to their home, Harold unlocking the front
door.
Little John runs straight inside.
John, “He had a great time, he's still excited.”
Devon, “Yes, or maybe it was all that sugar he ate.”
Clara, “He'll be up tonight.”
Myra, like her husband, smile in agreement.
Clara, “I'll read him a bed time story to get sleepy.”
John, in the hallway. Stops to see something unusual in the
office. “Devon. Come see this.”
Devon goes to him. Looks at the fully open door. “Didn’t |
close that door?”
John, “Yes you did. And we all went out at the same time.”
Giving each other a brief look, the proceeded to walk inside
the office. Inside, half the books from the bookshelf ransacked
covered the floor, as if in the scene of crime unfolds. They
walked around carefully to inspect. They stood. Confounded.
John, observing the room. goes to the window. Sees a note
on the floor. Picks it up, It read:

~ NemesisJohn, concluded. “He leaves no name. The window was pry
open. It’s Obvious.”
“You have made a good conclusion Detective John Watson. |
will take it from here.” A man in long black trench coat stood
in observation.
John and Devon turned to look. Indented their brows in
question.
Devon, recognizing him. “Detective Lestrade. Good to see you
again sir. And what brings you here into our home?”
Detective Lestrade continues into the room. “| have
personally taken on this assignment. We have been tracking
this nemesis from day one. He is the cause of this monstrosity.
He is my responsibility.”
Devon, “Detective Lestrade. | assure you. | along with my
husband, Detective John Watson, are perfect capable to solve
this case ourselves.”
John, in courtesy. “But we could benefit with a little help from
you.”
Devon looking at John.
Detective Lestrade, taking a few steps toward them, stopped.
"Mr. and Mrs. Watson, Holmes. | take pride in my work. | will
not forfeit, nor nagate unto another as | stand on my oath in
capturing this nemeses. This criminal is solely mine to take. |

Devon.
Devon, with greatful poise. "Yes indeed. | would be a great
honor to work with you also Detective Lestrade.”
Detective Lestrade, “Right. There is no need to dust for
fingerprints, | have already known this nemesis wears gloves.
He's highly professional. You may clean up” He goes to the
board, see the dart still embedded. “Right. | shall be back.” He
turns to leave the room.
Devon looks at John.
John looks at Devon giving each other a cocky wry expression,
as they began to pick up the books placing them back inside
the bookshelf.Later that evening...
Devon as in a dream state... Tossing and turning in bed, she
slowly running from room to room, no answer to be found.
She turns to see another door opening before her, the
silhouette steps into the midnight’s moonlight, as she
becomes, like an eclipse, into a shadow. She suddenly awakes.
Her eyes open, then heavy again, falls back asleep.
