Mr. Gosbi?

……….

Mr. Gosbi, it's very nice to-

That's not my name.

Huh?

I would like you to refer to me by my actual name. If you can not do that then you are wasting my time.

Oh, sorry, Mr.-

Holmes, Sherlock Holmes

Right, anyway let's get down to-

You have yet to introduce yourself, good sir.

Oh, my name’s Caine

There are many Caine’s in this world, sir, that is why last names exist. I assume you have one?

Yeah

Can you tell me?

No, I can’t that would be against protoca-

So you're scared of me?

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

What?

The reason protocols like that exist are to protect people,like you, from being murdered in their sleep. Do you beleave I would murder you in your sleep?

No!

…………………………………………………………………….no? How dangerous its human instinct to be afraid, after all fear protects us from ourselves. Never lie about being afraid, your fear could save you, good?

Good?

Good, well if you refuse to tell me your full name then you will simply be Watson. Now mr. Watson what brings you to my humble abode? Something important, I assume?

I’m here to discuss the mayor's desion to-

Ah yes, you're here to convince me to join your group of hapless apes?

That's not very nice!

Watson do you think I would be here if I was, as you state “nice”? No, I am positive I wouldn’t be. So, you get my assistance and I get… what?

What do you have in mind?

A better question, what does any criminal have in mind Watson?

Money, Women, Vengeance, Lamborghinis...

You're quite bad at guessing, freedom, Watson, the answer I was looking for was freedom.

I’m not going to let you out of prison

Of course not, that would be a unlawful action

Than what do you want than

I want a chance at a new life, a reincarnation, if you will. To summarize in a way someone like you can understand, I want to help the people of Darlum in the ongoing quest for peace, with super vision of course.

You want… to help people?

I believe that's what I said, yes? Would that be a problem

No, I don’t think it would, it just seems… off.

How so?

Well, you, you don’t seem like the type to-

Watson, with the utmost respect, you don’t know me. I understand your concern which is why I don’t expect you to just let me run free…. Do we have a deal?

I’ll have to ask the commisoner.

Of course, but if you we’re him would we have a deal?

I………
