Herlock Sholmes - Second Adventure Ch4

[Captain Braunsfeld]

Our intrepid air travelers have landed safely in Pontelli and are now heading for the centre of the city

Dr. Sonwat: “So where can we find that mysterious “Fellowship of the Greybeards”?”

Sholmes: “Wait. Actually, I would like to see the office building of Easterhazy, Easterbunny & Santa first.”

Mr. Py: “Let me show you. Here we are.”

Sholmes: “So this is the company where you initially applied and would have started on your new job two weeks ago?”
Mr. Py: “Yes, that is correct, Mr. Sholmes.”

Sholmes: “That is quite interesting.”

Dr. Sonwat: “What, the yellowish colour scheme of the building?”

Spoiler

I saw that excellent house built by a guy called Sleepless Night and I just had to recreate it for myself. 
So don't give me praise for the building.  You can, of course, praise the story.

Sholmes: “No. Its neighbourhood. You look, my dear Sonwat, but you do not observe. Behold!”

Hallcroft Py: “The guards? We've done nothing wrong!”

Sholmes: “No, the EE&S office building is just next to the Bank of Pontelli. 
Doesn’t that make for an interesting neighbourhood?
Ok, let us move on to the building where the FotG used to meet.”

Hallcroft Py (confused): “The FotG?”

Dr. Sonwat: “The Fellowship of the Greybeards!”

Hallcroft Py: “Right, of course, how stupid of me. This whole adventure is getting me confused. I am just an accountant after all - and I am worried about Miss Sevenfish."

Sholmes: "I am sure we will find her. And you are doing great so far as adventure-accountant.
  Now, where do we have to go?"

Hallcroft Py: “That building is located in Merryweather Road, not too far from here. Follow me, please.”

(They arrive, quietly open the unlocked door and enter. )

(The first room is the one where Hallcroft Py had been working together with Patricia Sevenfish. Now, there is no one to be seen).

Sholmes: “That is a fine painting of yours, Mr. Py.”

Dr. Sonwat: “The painter, Mr. Elventree, has shown a very good understanding of the human face.”

Sholmes: “Mr. Py, you have indeed been painted well. But not because of the reasons Mr. Elventree told you, I am afraid.”

Hallcroft Py: “Oh. But then why?”

Sholmes: “We will soon find out.”

Sholmes: “In fact, the answer to your question might be just behind this next door.”

What is behind the door?!?

Still, it is a nice take on SleeplessNight's building. I love his version of lagoon Lock-Up and the accompanying buildings.

Also a very nice bank building! I like the balcony and windows of the first floor. The guards look great!

Good that Dr. Sonwat has survived the journey and no longer has a green head. It's really interesting that it's right next to the Bank of Pontelli.

I think Hallcroft Py looks like someone who works in the bank. Is there a lab behind the door where masks are made? Because a few days have already passed, it is possible that money or something else valuable has already been stolen from the bank.

Ah causing us all sleepless nights with your cliff-hangers! 

Very nice continuation.. I think I can see where this is going.... Or are there unexpected plot-twists ahead?

The Bank is a modification of the old Gringott's Bank.

And I am working to recreate the lagoon lock-up for myself. It really looks great.

Hallcroft Py is an accountant. So he would look like someone working in a bank. But he could have been working for Esterhazy Easterbunny & Santa!

Cliff-hangers - the very nature of these stories 

You cannot guess everything that will be happening

That's true, he could also work as an accountant for Count Mesabi and the WTC. I'm sure Hallcroft Py only got the job because he looks like someone else, that's why a picture of his head was drawn. With that, Fantomas can make a mask. The Bank of Pontelli also has something to do with the further course of the story.

I quite like this yellow building!  You all are converting me, I used to think yellow was the most useless LEGO color, but it looks splendid on these colonial facades!

That is exactly what I thought when I saw this creation by Sleepless Night. I used to build with white walls and red roofs. But now all colours are possible!
