Meanwhile on the Other Side of the Mirror

Meanwhile on the other side of the mirror:

Beth exited the apartment building to find Professor James Moriarty waiting for her. Or his clone, as loyal fans of SH22 know. But for the purposes of this tale, we shall refer to him as Moriarty.

Moriarty studied Beth's expression before he spoke.

"How was the exchange?" he asked.

"It went without a hitch," she replied. "Now where do we go from here?"

"My place." He opened the passenger door to his hovercraft. They both got in and within seconds they were headed for his secret lair.

They arrived. He gave her a tour.

"Nice place you have here."

"Thank you. I'll admit it's a bit on the spartan side, but I never know when I need to pick up and move on to a new location."

Moriarty stared at Beth.

"You're as beautiful as the Inspector Lestrade of this world," he said. "No, you're even more beautiful than her, if that's possible."

She smiled and drew closer to him, purring softly into his ear.

"You're not so bad yourself. So buff. So handsome," she whispered.

Moriarty could not get over the difference in personality between this Beth and the Inspector Lestrade of New Scotland Yard. He still remembered how Lestrade had rebuffed him when they first met.

I was being perfectly charming, he thought, but that haughty Inspector pulled her hand away from me as if I were some monster!

Beth snuggled closely to Moriarty and gently blew into his ear as she stroked his chest.

Now this is more like it, thought Moriarty. I'm the Napoleon of Crime. I deserve to have a beautiful woman by my side. And now I have one.

He chuckled silently to himself as he wondered how Holmes would react if he could see Beth now. Holmes had no idea that the Lestrade of this world was now trapped on the other side of the mirror. The enchanted mirror that Moriarty had found and sent to Inspector Lestrade. So far the plan was going perfectly.
