Brandon: Can you, please sit still and watch the game?

Ema: Maybe!

Ema: When are you going to tell the gamer's the truth that they are stuck between reality and that they might die?

Brandon: I would never tell them, otherwise I would lose the publicity.

Brandon: Now enjoy the show with us.

Ema: I would if you were a normal person.

Brandon: I'm interested in, how they will solve this case.

Ema: Before I watch your show, I do not want to die in starvation. Can you fetch me something to eat?

Brandon: Fine!

Brandon: Sarah! Call the Butler and bring our guest something to eat.

Sarah: As you wish!

Brandon: Are you happy now.

Ema: I guess so!

Brandon: Spoiled brat! (thinking)

At the kid's house

Tv Screen:

Amanda: Much better!

Amanda: Searching the room.

Amanda: The lock is broken (thinking)

Amanda: Reading the bills.

Amanda: Has your father bill problems?

Kid: Yes!

Amanda: Interesting.

Watson: What did you think to happen?

Amanda: Somebody forgot to pay the bills in time and a company is after him or he owns some money and they wanted payback.

Watson: Interesting.

Gary: Searching the room.

Gary: This is awful you can barely see.

Watson: What do you expect, only rich people have electricity in their homes.

Gary: True!

Watson: What do you think to happen?

Gary: The door is broken and there are letters about payment issues.

Gary: He got in trouble with a company or with a mob.

Watson: Well done, Holmes.

Saito: Searching the room.

Watson: Did you find something?

Saito: Bills and a door force opened.

Watson: What should we do, Holmes?

Saito: He got kidnapped most likely at home by a company or a mob.

Saito: We can search for a local bar. They might give us more information.

Saito: Kid, show us the local bar.

Kid: Sure, Mr. Holmes.

Joker:  Searching the room.

Watson: What do you think, MR. Holmes?

Joker: The door was forced opened. He seems to forget to pay the bills.

Watson: What should we do, MR. Holmes?

Joker: Find some clues in a local bar, of course.

Watson: Good Idea!

Joker: These rooms are so dirty.

Kid: Sorry, Mr. Holmes we are poor but I will surely help you find the bar my dad went to.

Joker: Thanks, kid.

Joker: Watson! Let us follow the kid.

Watson: Yes! Sir!

Real World

People: Wow! The game seems so realistic and I love the big tv-screen. (talking)

Journalist: As you may see before us. This is the world's most realistic simulation of a game. Our contenders are using their mind/brain to control the avatar known as Sherlock.

Tv-Crew: Filming.............

Ema: Eating.............

Ema: Who do you think would complete your psycho game?

Brandon: Amanda  & Gary are not my favorites.

Ema: Let me guess they are of character and they have most likely not read Sherlock Holmes.

Brandon: Correct!

Brandon: I believe, Saito or Joker would complete the story.

Brandon: But nobody is better than us.

Brandon: Who do you believe in?

Ema: Joker!

Brandon: Why him?

Ema: He is a Sherlock freak by heart.

Ema: Tell me the reason you did this?

Brandon: They are days where I could not have slept because I could not complete the last episode of Sherlock.  I just could not understand the case no matter what I did.

Ema: So that's why you imprison people in your game simulation.

Brandon: Precisely.

Ema: Look! If you let me prescript a medication for D.D I let everything slide.

Brandon: No! I'm not sick.

Ema: They all say the same. (thinking)

Virtual World

Tv-Screen:

Amanda & Gary: Looking for information on the streets.

Saito & Joker: At The Bar....................

Saito & Joker: Hearing persons talking.

Saito & Joker: This must be our lucky day, Watson. (whispering)

Watson: Indeed, Holmes.

Watson: Who taught they would show up in this bar and talk about our victim.

Saito & Joker: Apparently he has some financial issues and the document is his contract. (whispering)

Watson: We need to grab a hold on the document, what should we do, Mr. Holmes?

Joker: Belief in me!

Saito: Trust me!

Joker: Sitting with the suspects.

Persons: Who are you?

Joker: A person who wants to treat you for a drink.

Person 1: Fine, by us.

Person 2: We could scam him. ( whispering to his companion)

Joker: In this world, it is so easy to scam people because they were not taught how to think freely like our world. (thinking)

Joker: Buying them a drink.

Persons: Drinking until they feel foggy.

Joker: Grabs the document.

Saito: Do you want to see a trick?

Persons: You mean like magic?

Saito: Kind of!

Person 1: Enlighten us!

Saito: What side of the coin do you pick?

Person 1: Heads

Person 2: Tails

Saito: Flipping heads.

Person 1: This is not magic it is just luck.

Saito: Flipping heads.

Saito: Flipping Heads.

Person 1: Wow! I'm good at this.

Person 2: No, fair!

Saito: Nods to Watson.

Watson Grabs the document.

Watson: What should we do now, Sherlock?

Joker & Saito: Follow them when they leave.

Real World

Brandon: Seems we both made quite good choices.

Ema: It seems so!

Brandon: Sarah, who do you think would succeed in this mission, Gary or Amanda?

Sarah: It is a hard question? Both candidates have good signs and bad signs. But I would choose, Amanda.

Ema: I would say Amanda since she is an Ace student meaning that she could adapt easily.

Brandon: Let us face the screen to find the answer we seek.

Virtual World

Gary & Amanda: Got information about a hunting club that the boys that went to.

At The Hunting Club

Joker: Watson, It seems a person is standing here.

Watson: Indeed!

Joker: Let's talk to him.

Joker: Red Eyes = Ill? = Good Looking Clothes = Lord?   Painkillers = In his pocket.  = Member?

Person: Who are you?

Joker: My name is, Sherlock Holmes. I'm searching for a missing person.

Joker: You are correct!

Joker: This is my assistant, Dr. Watson.

Person: I heard about him.

Person: If you are so good, Can you tell me who, I'm?

Joker: Looking towards his desk.........

Joker: Seen a sign, Marshal.

Joker: You seem to weep and you are not too rich for a lord. You are carrying painkillers. It is most likely for your Lord, Mr. Marshal.

Person: Stunned.............

Person: How did you know that I was not the lord?

Joker: You would have thrown us away if you had the authority to do so, which you have not.

Person: Amazing!

Person: You are absolutely right, Our lord is sick. They are some rumors that he might die soon.

Joker: Nods to Watson......

Watson: Looking at the letter.

Joker & Saito: Do you see anything odd?

Watson: A list of promising hunters but one is missing.

Watson: Could it be the boy's father?

Joker & Saito: The possibility is high.

Joker & Saito: If you take a look at people who entered the hunting club.

Watson: Yeah! I'm looking.

Joker & Saito: John Strowbridge is not in the club.

Watson: It feels strange since they were showing a great promise.

Watson: You are smiling, Sherlock!

Joker & Saito: I have solved the case, Watson.

Joker & Saito: But I must be sure if I'm right.

Joker & Saito: So we are going to be in that meeting.

Joker: They are totally different than the real world. (thinking)

Saito: The car is so ugly. (thinking)

Persons: We saw your letter, my Lord.

Lord, Marshall:  My assistant told me a doctor and detective are investigating our business.

Lord, Marshall: Coughing louder and louder.

Assistant: Lord! Maybe you should take a break.

Lord, Marshall: No you, imbecile.

Lord, Marshall: They cannot figure out that the missing persons are our making.
