Chapter  L: In the case of Baker Street part II

Walking alone in the deep darkness of his unconscious mind, Cait sith had his arms folded over his chest. He was obviously in a bad mood, “that lass really put me in a bad number this time!” He muttered grumpily.
He was still annoyed with her brainless comments before and was finding it even more boring in his own mind!
“Couldn’t I even have the daftness ta conjure up at least one good dream!” He said angrily to himself as he smacked his head hard.
Suddenly then he could hear footsteps! This immediately alerted him as he withdrew his hands down and now had them raised slightly as he looked around himself.
“What could that possibly be?” As he heard the footsteps come closer and closer, it was then he immediately came up with an alarming possibility, “oh don’t tell me I’m gonna be havin’ a nightmare!” He complained really not wanting one of those at this moment in time.
He was now more on edge as the sounds were now dangerously near and as they did his fur raised on his back as he pulled his hands back ready for a good fight if that was what was gonna come his way.
But as he stared on as the figure finally came into focus he felt his hands almost immediately drop for there in front of him looking perplexed and worried, with her short blond hair and with her long fringe hiding away her right eye, dressed in her princess attire… was Oralee.

As the stormy rain continued to pour down upon the ground and walls of Baker Street, in the air there was a gentle sweet sound of a violin being played in a warmly lit room that brightened the otherwise gloomy atmosphere.
Walking through the iron gates that guarded the bushes Nozomi looked up as she heard the music being played and said to herself, “that’s a nice tune to play” as she finished with a small smile.
“Yeah it sure is isn’t it?” The king added also enjoying the song, Riku meanwhile didn’t say much as he continued to help carry the little bit of paper that was keeping the three of them even just a little bit dry.
However unfortunately it hadn’t had protected them at all, as he would have liked since now it was beginning to sag and now they were all starting to get drenched.   
Dawson and Olivia had already reached the door and watched as Nozomi and the rest were approaching, curious Dawson asked, “are you faring well there chaps?”
Hearing him ask Nozomi looked over as she replied still holding the paper, “uh not too bad.”
Olivia continued to watch them as she stood next to doctor Dawson; she looked on as finally the odd group joined them they finally ditched the paper throwing it to one side. They were all clearly quite soaking as Riku muttered quite dismayed, “great I’m soaking!” For if there was one thing he didn’t too well with it was rain.
Hearing him say this Nozomi simply replied, “well it can’t be helped,” for she’d already been soaked enough to stop complaining, and she also saw rain water cleaner then filthy puddle water.  
Looking at her for a moment Riku then shook his head with a sigh as he tried to get rid of some excess rain and make himself at least a little presentable, while Nozomi simply shook herself and quickly threw her arms around too, the king did much the same as Riku had.
Then finally all ready they stood in front of the front door with the small lamp light next to it revealing it to be number 221. Looking at the door they watched as Dawson knocked on the it, they all waited together for a few moments Olivia was looking at the door expectantly with a smile on her face, Mr Dawson himself was also pleased to see the girl had cheered up. Nozomi was happy too and was curious as to what this Basil guy was like, Riku simply stared into space as he wanted to get out of the rain as soon as possible, while Mickey looked at the door curiously wondering who would appear.
Finally there was life as someone opened the door, the mouse person they saw opening it was a middle aged female one who was a maid with a blue coloured dress and white apron, and had a light blue maid hat finishing with a pair of small spectacles on her nose. In her arms she was carrying quite a hefty weight of some books and some plates and various other things including a mace that made Nozomi look on with odd eyes, ‘what does this guy do?’ She asked herself.     
The maid looked at everyone curiously as Dawson made his introduction politely removing his hat with a smile, “good evening madam, is this the residence of Basil of Baker Street?”
The woman hearing the question replied, “I’m afraid it is,” she looked tired from all the weight she was carrying as she stroked back her hat tiredly slightly as she continued, “he’s not here at the moment, um but you’re welcome to come in and wait.” She finished with a smile as she moved aside beckoning them to come in.
Hearing this Nozomi was quite surprised at hearing this but before she could speak Dawson spoke instead, “uh, well I don’t want to impose, it’s, it’s just the girl and-“ at this point Dawson turning over as he looked to where Olivia was. As he did there was a sudden surprise between everyone as they saw she had vanished!
This made everyone look around as Riku asked aloud, “where’s she gone to!” As he suddenly had a fast case of worry.
But then as everyone looked around concerned it was Mickey who first noticed, “hey look there she is!”
Looking to where he was pointing everyone looked inside Mr Basil’s house, and there in front of the warm fireplace on the big red long armchair was Olivia as she was curiously peaking into a big magnifying glass.
Watching her do this Nozomi said aloud to herself, “wow! She’s got good sneaking abilities, I’d never be able to that if I was her age.”
As the maid woman saw Olivia she immediately passed over all she’d been holding to Dawson as he caught it all in a hurry as she said, “oh my!” As she ran over to Olivia she continued, “you poor dear! You must be chilled to the bone!” As she said this she quickly took off Olivia’s wet hat revealing her red bow on her left ear, as the maid quickly then wrung it slightly as water quickly poured out showing how soaking the hat really was.
“Oh but I know just the thing!” With that she then removed Olivia’s scarf with a smile and then finally continued on, “Now let me fetch you a cup of tea and some of my fresh cheese crumpets!”
With that she started to head towards the pantry but before she did she then noticed again Nozomi and the others as they were all busy trying to help Mr Dawson out with the hefty load he’d been given.
Looking over to them she then said, “oh would you dears like some crumpets too?”
Hearing her as she asked Nozomi was now holding a couple of the blankets as she beginning to put them down, looking at the maid she blinked as she asked, “uh is that all right for us? I mean we are just strangers off the street and-“
But she was cut off as the maid said with a slight amusement in her voice, “oh that’s fine, besides Mr Basil often has visitors, and from the looks of you all I’d say you all need warming up too.”
Hearing her say this as Riku quickly put the mace to one side as he still felt the chill slightly replied, “can’t argue with you there.”
Pleased with this answer the maid nodded, “there you are then, I’ll also bring out some fresh blankets so you can all warm yourselves up.” With that she started to head back to the pantry but before she did Mickey quickly spoke, “uh well thanks! We really appreciate it!” The maid smiled as she then closed the door behind her.
As she left and Mr Dawson finally had no more weight on him Nozomi and the others made their way to the living room, Nozomi then thought they were extremely lucky, for she’d never expected the other worlds people to be so trusting and welcoming.



Wrapped in a warm blanket finally dry Nozomi was truly happy as she was tucking into one of the cheese crumpets that the mouse maid had brought out, as she was a mouse herself the cheese almost tasted sweet like in her mouth.
The feeling of eating again was amazing as she chomped and chewed feeling her empty stomach become more full by the minute as she dug into another one, she suddenly had a slight hazard as she swallowed too quickly and was now making a strange face as she had a lump in her throat.
The king seeing her like this quickly walked over as he then held a cup of tea to her as he quickly said, “Nozomi here.”
With that Nozomi quickly snatched it as she then chugged it down in fast gulps, finally dislodging the lump letting her breath, smiling she breathed, “pah! Oh thank you, your majesty! I was struggling there!”
Hearing her reply the king smiled himself as he answered, “I thought you were.”
Staring over at the two of them Riku retorted annoyed wrapped in a warm blanket a crumpet in his right hand ready to be eaten, “for goodness sake! Why did you have to hurry and make a fool of yourself like that!”
Blinking hearing Riku’s angry words Nozomi then suddenly laughed as she put a hand behind her head saying, “uh yeah sorry! It’s just I was so excited to eat again I kinda lost myself.”
Hearing her Riku sighed as he then looked away from her and then replied, ” honestly, if you rush into stuff like that you’re gonna kill yourself sooner or later.”
Listening to this Nozomi then got annoyed herself as she then said, “Well look who’s talking! You’ve had five of those things and I’ve only had three! You were more hungry then even I was!”
At this point Riku then breathed sharply in as it was the truth, he then became embarrassed as he looked away slightly with a slight blush saying, “Just lay off…”
Smiling at winning the argument, Nozomi reached for another scone as the king then went to sit next to Dawson who was calmly sipping tea as the king himself went to have drink too and maybe exchange words with the doctor.
Suddenly then Nozomi felt a tugging on her trousers, looking down she saw Olivia who was looking up at her with a question, puzzled at her sudden forwardness Nozomi asked, “what is it Olivia?”
Having got her attention Olivia let go as she then said curiously, “well um, I hope you don’t think that this is rude of me to be sayin’ this but…”
Seeing her hesitation Nozomi then kneeled down facing her on her level as her own mouse tail wagged back and forth showing her own eagerness, “but?”
Seeing her do this Olivia then just came out and said it, “well you are a very strange girl.”
Hearing her say this Nozomi suddenly froze expecting something a little different, snapping out of it slightly she asked her, “am I really that strange?”
Olivia then nodded, which made Nozomi feel completely deflated, while Riku watching on hearing the conversation couldn’t help but laugh at this slightly though of course keeping it hidden.
Looking at Olivia not hearing Riku she asked her with slight awkward puzzlement, “is it bad that I’m strange?”
At this Olivia shook her head as she then smiled and laughed a little at Nozomi’s odd behaviour as she told her, “no, I actually think it’s quite funny.”
Hearing her laugh and seeing her smile Nozomi felt a bit of bashfulness come over but she was happy to know that Olivia liked her now, which then let her reply, “well that’s good then, anyway nothing wrong with a bit of difference in the world huh?”
At this Olivia nodded at her response the smile still there, Nozomi now more contented smiling looked around herself as she noticed the things ahead of her, as she went to investigate, “and talking about strange…”
For the devices that were set up on the desks, one of them she could see various scientific equipment with many jars tubes and containers holding various different coloured chemicals. Between it all was a kettle that was turning a fan mechanism of some kind making a fire blower thing puff smoke from a series of cigarettes and pipe that had been taped to it’s nozzle.
Nozomi looked at this curiously puzzled while Olivia smiled at it with wonder, looking to the next desk they both saw more equipment with a few candles surrounding here and there with a strange device set up making a paint brush paint black on the soles of some boots and shoes. They were then turned over somehow making them step on paper as sheet after sheet came off with black prints.
Looking at all this Nozomi then asked aloud, “What is this guy exactly? Some kind of weird modern artist?”
Dawson at that moment came over curious himself as he replied to her, “hmmm, well um, I’m not sure my dear the news article said he was a detective so obviously this all must have something to do with his investigations.”
Hearing this sound knowledge from the doctor Nozomi nodded but then thought to herself that these things seemed kind of pointless to her, and she wondered what kind of person this Basil guy was.
Suddenly from nowhere there was a cry “ah ha! That villain slipped me this time! I shall have him!” Suddenly from the door way there appeared a new mouse in a clash of thunder and lightning, this time coloured white like Riku was with a couple of black strands coming from the sides of his mouth making a moustache dressed in red Chinese robes waving a gun in his left hand.
His whole arrival made everyone startled as they stared at him, Dawson was clearly alarmed as everyone else was beginning too as well as the new mouse seemed crazy as he suddenly rushed in waving the gun madly, “out of my way! Out of my way!” As he suddenly threw his red cap from his head.
Seeing him in this odd behaviour Dawson started to complain, “now I say!-“ Cutting him off though the cap landed on his head making him stop as he was then busy trying to get the tight thing off him.
Seeing this Nozomi then said crossly at this intruder, “ hey! What do you think you’re doing! Who the heck are you!?”
Suddenly the white mouse stopped as he turned around asking, “what? Oh?” Stopping then he quickly pulled off his own head making Riku and the king really startled, but then as it was plucked off it revealed a new face, “Basil of Baker street my dear.” He finished with a grin.
There underneath showing his true face lightly brown coloured was a thin mouse as he had a rather eccentric air to him that made Nozomi and everyone else look at him curiously.
Suddenly then Basil pulled on something making air deflate suddenly from the red robes showing that he was quite thin as well, and tall now too as he seemed to pay it no mind. This just weirded everyone else again, however Olivia was smiling with delight for the one she had been seeking had finally arrived!
She then quickly began to speak with slight excitement, “ Oh! Mr Basil! I need your help and-!”
However the great so called saviour was busy with his own matters as he now pulled off a dressing gown from a dart board and quickly changed into it saying, “all in good time!”  
He was obviously very pleased about something and was preoccupied, as he didn’t seem to pay any attention to the poor girl who continued, “but, but you don’t understand!” He threw one of the blue coloured yellow tailed darts into the centre of the dartboard as Olivia tried to get through to him, “you see, I’m in terrible trouble.”
However still not listening he casually and quickly replied, “If you’ll excuse me.”
Olivia then sighed, as it seemed almost impossible to get through to him, Dawson and Nozomi were both agitated as they were both about to head over and speak to him when suddenly Riku did so instead and went to give a few words, “you know it’s really rude what you’re doing right now! The least you could do is listen to someone when they’re trying to-“  
Suddenly then Basil ran across to one side still obsessed over what it was he was planning leaving Riku facing air, however then it was Dawson who took over the lecturing as he said, “this young lady is in need of assistance!”
However Basil was next to his various pieces of equipment still paying no mind to his visitors or even the doctor as he continued, “I think you ought to listen-“
However Basil interrupted asking, “Hold this please doctor?” As he held an object out to him.
Courtesy taking over once more Dawson replied, ”of course but-“
“Dawson!” Nozomi cried out alarmed slightly for now he was pointing a gun to his own face, seeing the dangerous object in his hands, the doctor quickly and hurriedly put it out of his way as he held it out to Basil. He quickly took it back continuing with whatever he was doing.
But then suddenly it was then the king noticed something as he walked on over with Nozomi still standing next to Olivia and Riku just watching on curiously, the king then asked him, “hang on how did you know that this man’s a doctor?”
Dawson then catching onto this fact was quite puzzled himself as Basil looking at the gun still in his hand then began to answer him as he examined a bullet, “ A surgeon to be exact, just arrived from military duty in Afghanistan.” Finishing he had now inserted the bullet into the gun and blew into it, getting the right hold upon the device as he turned back to the doctor and asked, “am I right?”
Dawson as well as the others couldn’t believe what was said as he replied with a slight laugh of amazement, ”why…why yes, major David Q Dawson.” He finished as he smiled proud of his ranking.
However this made Nozomi curious as she came over and asked, “how the heck do you figure that out?”
At this Basil began to answer, happy to show off his skills, “quite simply really, he’s sewn his cuff together with a Lambert stitch,” with that he pulled up the doctor’s left arm revealing the stitch that the others hadn’t even noticed!
Basil continued despite their amazement, “Which of course only a surgeon uses,” he smiled as he went up close to the doctor as he patted his right cheek grinning.
Nozomi looking at him and thought that that was rather intruding on his personal space as she watched him walk off slightly, but then he continued with his explanation as he went to his red armchair, “and the thread is a unique form of cat gut, which is easily distinguished by it’s-” at this point he’d now acquired an assortment of coloured pillows into his right hand as he was practically beaming, turning to Olivia and the king as he whispered to them, “peculiar pungency.”  This left her looking and him looking confused as they both didn’t really get it.
However Basil only continued on, “found only in the Afghan provinces,” he finished as he bowed slightly the pillows still in his right hand as he grinned.
Turning to Riku for a moment she whispered to him, “you don’t think he’s gonna analyze where we come from do you?”
Looking at her he answered, “I think he’s preoccupied, so I think it’s gonna be okay.”
Nodding at this Nozomi was relieved with this slightly but then suddenly she watched as he suddenly threw the pillows to Watson who caught them all making a cake like layer with him at the bottom standing as he replied to him astounded, “amazing!” Though sounding muffled.
The gun in his right hand Basil replied calmly proud as he spun the bullet part of the gun, “actually it’s elementary, my dear Dawson.” He finished grinning further.
Suddenly then making everyone alarmed Basil had now pointed his gun to the layer of pillows Dawson was holding which showed he was actually making a make shift target!
Alarmed the king cried as he dragged Olivia to hide behind the opposite green armchair, “take cover!”
Panicked then himself Dawson threw the pillows onto the red armchair as he quickly went to hide behind the green armchair too, Nozomi and Riku quickly followed as everyone realised this guy was really mad!
Undeterred Basil took aim and then fired his shot into the pillows; there was a huge bang, as suddenly everywhere a rain of feathers was sent into the air descending everywhere, this made everyone look on quite shocked.
Suddenly the pantry door opened as the maid mouse came in once more crying alarmed, “what in heavens name!”
“Oh! Oh!” She cried alarmed as she walked in coughing slightly as a few small feathers had got in her mouth, she looked on dismayed as she cried aloud, “my good pillows!”
Holding a couple of the loose feathers in her hand she then looked and turned angrily as she looked to the red armchair saying, “Mr Basil!”
Meanwhile Basil himself was busy cleaning the feathers that had ended up on the armchair cleaning them off at the sides, hearing his name being called he popped his head up like a Mire cat looking puzzled and then with slight fear himself as he knew what was coming.
The maid then started to complain as she marched over pointing angrily, “how many times I have told you not to-“   
However Basil interrupted her grinning as always his arms in the air, “Yes, yes, there, there Mrs Judson it’s quite all right!” He grinned even more blocking out any words the maid was trying to say as he held onto her shoulders.
Suddenly he then sniffed in the air, as he smelled a nice aroma, turning to her he spoke, “hmmm, I believe I smell some more of those delicious delightful cheese crumpets of yours, why don’t you fetch our guests some more?” By now he had guided her towards the door and now had her on the other side as he continued to grin from his own side pushing hard against it to make her leave.
However the maid still tried to say something, “but, but, but I-“ However she was shut off as Basil finally got the door shut.
Looking at him Nozomi had the suspicion that he’d done this before, realising it was safe to come out, the others did so too staring at the mess the so called great detective had caused.
Basil turning back again bent on his mission said, “now!”
Then moving quickly towards the arm chairs again running by Nozomi and Riku’s feet he began his search despite the horrible mess as he said, “now I know that bullets here somewhere.”
Suddenly as he looked up he discovered that the bullet had been found in Olivia’s raised right hand with Mickey standing beside her looking pleased at her discovery himself, looking at the bullet Basil snatched it away as he then said, “thank you miss?”
Olivia then replied to him smiling still, “ Flabbersham, Olivia Flabbersham.”
Hearing her answer Basil then looked at the king as he asked him, “and you must be?”
The king then gave him a reply, “Mickey, Mickey mouse.”
Hearing the name of this other visitor Basil replied, “I see,” as he then got up and went over near to the desk again, however looking at his other two visitors he then asked them, “and who are you two exactly?”
A little annoyed at him Riku responded, “I’m Riku,” and then with the same tone “Nozomi,” came the last reply.
“Now then!” Basil spoke as he finally made it to his scientific desk as he then began his conducting, the others gathered around him as he gazed upon two bullets, seemingly to be identical, he looked at them very seriously as he then put them under a microscope.
Putting their ends back to back he then rolled them together until he could see the lines match up, smiling at his success he then began to turn them over making sure each line was in perfect harmony with the other, whispering eagerly, “yes!”
However disaster then struck as there was on one side where none of the lines met, at that point he then cried out loudly dismayed, “Ooooooooohhhhhhh!! Drat!” He then looked utterly deflated and defeated as his hair went out of place and his proud aura quickly vanished.
Taking the bullet he had such high hopes for he then threw it aside as he said truly disappointed, “another dead end!”
He then walked away from everyone his head low leaving them all confused as Nozomi spoke aloud slightly, “what was it a bad bullet?... I don’t get it.”
Looking at her Riku then said, “I don’t think it’s time for you to mutter that kind of stuff.”
Annoyed at him Nozomi was about to reply when suddenly Basil spoke aloud, “he was within my grasp!”
Hearing him everyone then watched as he then collapsed onto his red armchair in a helpless heap, as his shaking right hand reached for his beloved relief, his violin.
With that he then began to play a sorrowful note upon it that was yet gentle in the air, Nozomi was still unsure about his mood swings as was everyone else, but then it presented a good opportunity for Olivia has Dawson then encouraged her gently forward.
Nozomi seeing this went to help Olivia out too as she walked with her turning to Basil who was still in his sorrowful state Nozomi spoke, “now since you’re done with your experiment, this young girl’s got something important to say.”
However it seemed as though Basil hadn’t listened as he continued to play away, Nozomi was ticked off but then knowing an argument wouldn’t sort things out she then gestured with her head for Olivia to pick up.
Nodding she did just that, “that’s right now please listen to me! My daddy’s gone! And I’m all alone.”
Hearing her say this Nozomi then realised why she was crying so hard and thought of how awful it must be for her and thought back to how she felt when she’d lost her master too.
Seemingly to have listened Basil turned and looked at the two of them especially Olivia as he then replied gloomily, “ young lady this is a most inopportune time.”
Seeing the sad face she’d caused to Olivia Nozomi got really cross as she bent down and went on her knees holding Olivia’s shoulders as she looked at Basil angrily.
Seeing Nozomi’s angry expression as well as Olivia’s sad one Basil was quietly getting annoyed himself as replied casually turning his attention back to his violin, “surely your mother knows where he is.”
At this Olivia became even more saddened as she shook her face slightly and replied, “I…I don’t have a mother.”
Hearing this Nozomi looked shocked, as did Basil as he suddenly stopped his play with clang in his music.
Looking at the two of them together he then began to feel slight regret for his thoughtless words as Nozomi just looked on with more worry for Olivia as she realised she was practically in the same boat as she was, being parentless.
Basil then tried to say something, “well um… well then perhaps?” However now he was getting agitated by all this nonsense as he then said, “ now see here, I have no time for lost fathers!”
At this point Nozomi then was bitterly irritated as she spoke her mind, “oh yeah! Well look who had the time to find a useless bullet that didn’t even work!”
At this Basil looked at her finding her quite irritating himself but then Olivia then spoke, “yeah! And besides I didn’t lose him! He was taken by a bat!”
Suddenly as Basil heard this source of information it was then it finally got his attention as he then asked truly fascinated and excited, “ did you say bat!?”
Olivia surprised at this show of interest replied a little slowly , “yes…”
Riku listening to this conversation as well as Mickey and Dawson wondered what was so special about a bat, especially Nozomi as she was witnessing Basil’s eccentric behaviour again.
He then asked, “Did he have a crippled wing?”
Olivia then replied unsure, “I don’t know but-“ it was then she brightened as she remembered one key thing about him, “he had a peg leg!”
At that point Basil practically leaped for joy as he cried, “Ha!”
Unsure of this behaviour it was then Dawson and the others came forward as the doctor asked him, “I say do you know him?”  
Basil then sat at the very high point as he cried, “know him! That bat!” he spoke as he pointed to them with the bow of his violin with a grin he continued, “One Fidget by name, is in the employ of the very fiend who was the target of my experiment! The horror of my every waking moment!”
As he talked about who ever this person was everybody began to feel chills in the air atmosphere, as it seemed to become quite dark though they were warm and safe.
Basil then pointed to a picture on the mantle piece as he spoke, “the nefarious! Professor Rattigan!”
At that point the fire suddenly flared up slightly stirred by only a simple name, as thunder and lightning sounded in the sky, as though Mother Nature feared the very name itself.
Looking at the picture Nozomi saw an oversized dark black coloured (what she thought was a mouse) dressed in aristocratic clothing with a top hat on his hair seemingly well groomed. But his face had sharp sinister teeth in a smile as his eyes looked at the beholder with a devious wickedness in his yellow eyes.
Gazing at the portrait Nozomi asked aloud, “Rattigan? Is he really that terrible?”
Hearing her Basil immediately replied, “he’s a genius my dear! A genius twisted for evil! The napoleon of crime!” As he came out from behind the armchair gesturing the grandness of his evil with his arms as the thunder and lightning continued to fall.
Listening to this description Dawson replied, “really? As bad as all that eh ?”
Suddenly from behind Riku and the king making them jump as they saw his horrified face and wide eyes Basil spoke, “worse! For years I have tried to capture him and I got close so very close! But each time he’s narrowly evaded my grasp! ”
Hearing all this the king then spoke himself, “wow! Now he sounds like one horrible and tricky tyrant!”
Paying no heed to the king’s words Basil continued, “No corner of London is safe when Rattigan’s at large! No evil scheme he wouldn’t concoct! No depravity he wouldn’t commit! Who knows what dastardly scheme that villain may be plotting even as we speak.”
As Riku heard Basil say these he clenched his fist and thought to himself if it was him who they had to face next… then it would be dangerous for everyone.
Here's the new part ^^
