Captain Braunsfeld Posted August 12, 2023 (We are deep in the vaults of the Bank of Pontelli, which are filled with gold. There was a crack in the wall...) … and a face appears behind the crumbling masonry … … the familiar face of Liam Jeeves! The assistant of the masked criminal whom they encountered in their last adventure. Sholmes and company are as quiet as a mouse. Liam Jeeves: “We made it!” Liam Jeeves: “The gold of Pontelli is ours!” A voice hisses: “Not so loud, you bonehead!” Liam Jeeves steps into the vault... He is awestruck by the riches he sees ... Who is that shady figure behind the evil servant? It is the green-masked villain indeed! “Get ready”. Sholmes whispers to his comrades. "We will catch them red-handed." Liam Jeeves: “Wow, it is more than I expected.” Masked villain: “You’re a bonehead, Jeeves. I told you the treasure would be enormous.” Sholmes (shouting): “Nobody move. You are surrounded.” Eslandolean Officer: “And arrested!” (to be continued) The story so far: Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 (you are here) Chapter 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NOD Posted August 12, 2023 This time the masked villain and Liam Jeeves have fallen into the trap. Is it really only 2 thieves or is someone else behind the wall? I'm sure Pontelli's city guards can arrest him. After that, Herlock Sholmes and Dr. Sonwat unmask him and we can see his real face. But Hallcroft Py doesn't care, he wants to find Miss Patricia Sevenfish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
