My Dearest Watson,
Although it has been far too long since we laid eyes on each other, I continue to follow your career with great interest. I was sorry to hear about the murder of Andrew Mittal. And more than a bit unhappy to learn that his death was an attempt on your own most cherished life. I still believe there’s a game unfolding between Sherlock and I, and you have made yourself a valued and essential contributor. I won’t have you removed from play prematurely. Uninvited participants are not welcome at the table, and their intrusions will be dealt with accordingly.
There may well be more rounds to be played between the two of us, and until such time as we are both free to engage, I shall remain in delighted anticipation.
Jamie Moriarty.
