The work, the work is everything. It has to be.
You’d feel the same if your brain was the same as mine. You cannot imagine what it’s like not to crave stimulation out of curiosity but necessity. To need to occupy your brain not out of some sense of societal obligation but because without new puzzles to solve you can feel the sides collapse in on one another as if the...

We could be on the video but I doubt anyone will take anything you report about me seriously anymore.
I can’t choose my family, or the people I work with. That can’t be a surprise to you?

I do have John however, he doesn’t always understand but he tries. Anyway, he doesn’t count. John is part of the work.
Yes, but I do still have plenty of contacts in the...

Come now then Kitty, you must have done some research on me as your wrote your expose? How many family, friends, or loved ones did you find?
I thought we already covered fun? I solve crimes.
I know you have a brother. And you get on well with your landlady by all accounts. You must have associates at St Bart’s, and at Scotland Yard. And John Watson, of...

Of course not, what else would there be?
What do you mean? Everything else… your friends, family, loved ones… your hobbies, the things you do for fun. You can’t be working all the time; you’re a man, not a machine.

I try not to actually, I learned as a child that it inevitably leads to disappointment. Learn from your mistakes then, eh? Without work nothing matters.
Nothing? Nothing at all?

I’ll have you fully convinced when we go for those drinks.
I’ll hold you to that.

So who better to help you run a kingdom than me? I’m always going to be this charismatic and persuasive.
See? The world lost a great journalist - you almost have me convinced.

Than don’t be most people. And flattering though it may be to think you contributed anything more than a drop of Francium to his toxic mixture would be farcical. He chose you because you were easy. It could have easily been any of your other colleagues.
Have you always been so lucky?
You expect a lot of people, don’t you?
Lucky? No. Never. I’ve...

No? It surely sounded that way.
Well, of course it would do to you.

misskittyriley said: You pretty-boys and your food. I’m always showing up at Langdale’s with food for him.
You think I’m pretty?
It wasn’t a compliment.

Unless your plan is to make me the king to your queen, in which case this journey isn’t selfless at all.
Oh my God. You are incorrigible. Utterly incorrigible.

I would never. My place is here, Kitty. I fight with you.
And so you should. It’ll do your ego good to join such a selfless, honourable cause, if nothing else.

Just move on already. I can’t be angry at you for being an idiot- oh don’t look at me that way, nearly everyone is. To yell at you wouldn’t change the past, improve what happened, or serve any logical purpose. What it would do is waste my breath and brain.
Who’s death are you responsible for?
That’s easier said than done for most people, Mr Holmes.

There’s no need. I know.
God, of course not. The public needs to know about recycling rotas. I maintain you should be honored for informing the masses of such.
Atrocious.
Good. Just checking. Can’t have you bailing out on the revolution now it’s practically in full swing.

Impressed? I nearly did, actually. But I found I could make more money keeping people out of the papers than in. I wouldn’t be nearly this successful as a journalist. And the parties are much more exclusive.
I wouldn’t tell you if I was, Mr Ego.
I can imagine. No keeping new recycling rotas away from the press, I bet.

Of course I’m ok, why wouldn’t I be? Ultimately you realize, you did me a favor. By falling prey to Moriarty’s lies you enabled him to complete the story that led to his death and my successful dismantling of his organization.
Although I doubt John will be inviting you over for dinner anytime soon. He still has a few issues seeing past the emotion.
You’re...

Manners, Miss Riley.
An ego-intervention? Simple. You’re projecting. It’s a defense mechanism. You’re protecting yourself and your mind from a situation which you cannot cope with. In this case, your overwhelming feelings for me.
Manners yourself, Mr Damery.
Christ, you’re wasted in your field. You should put that talent of twisting the truth to good use and become a...

Mhmm. That’s what I thought.
You underestimate my ego; I’m completely deluded by it. I can take any insult as a compliment. All I have to do is believe you’re too afraid to admit your true feelings for me, so you wrap all of your insecurities into insults.
Shut up!
Well, at least you recognise it, I suppose. Saves me staging some kind of ego-intervention. Although,...

Well you are correct that you have not often been correct.
Jim Moriarty was a criminal of the first order Miss Riley. He fooled far more than one reporter desperately looking for a break. Instead of coming to me looking for absolution I cannot, and will not, provide, perhaps you should take a few moments to try and remember why you became a reporter to begin with.

I like to remain entertained. That means my work is often challenging but sometimes merely unique enough to hold my interest.
Despite what you, and most of the rest of the world it seems, think, I don’t actually take pleasure in others pain. I’m no more a sadist than a masochist.
Excuse me for thinking otherwise. Seems like there’s not much I’m right...

You’re sticking to that story, then?
I think it’s a bit late for that, honestly. Anything you say and do now will just be a reassuring ego-stroke.
No comment.
Don’t make me start insulting you every other sentence just to bring it down to a manageable level. I’ve had years of practice; you don’t stand a chance.
