"I need you to pack your things. I need you to be in a safer place." Enola spoke
"Is... Is my sister gone? Like Mae?" Panic was laced in Bessie's voice
"No"
"Is she..."
"No.
"I'm sure she's all right. We're closer to finding her."Enola sighed
"Doris, she'll take me in. She's got a spare bed now."
"Her sister?"
"Dead."
"Typhus."
Dead. Both you and Enola looked at both the plants, one alive and one dead
"There's traces of something in this soil." You stated, looking at both soils, one had red beads, the other white ones
"One has red, and one has white in it."
"The matches you make, when did they change from red to white?" Enola questioned
"I dunno. Around two years ago."
In two years, he's turned red into black.
Or should I say red into white?
Typhus.
The plague of our times.
Two years it's been killing these girls.
Out.
"I'm going to to find Tewksburry, you go get Sherlock and tell him where we're going to be incase things get out of hand at the match factory, ok?"
"Yeah, alright" You nodded and Enola stormed out of the building
"Tewksbury? Like, the lord?" Bessie chimed in and you chuckled slightly, nodding.

"What are you looking at? I need your help. Don't make me repeat it! May I come in?" Enola complained to Tewsburry who stood shocked at the door who quickly ushered the both of them inside"Firstly, I would like to apologize for so much. I have failed to see allies in plain sight. And I have..."
"Enola. There's something I wish to say too." Tewksbury spoke
"All right." Was all Enola said
"If you'd just... All day, every day, all I do is compromise. If I vote for this lord's bill that will allow him to pump bilge water into a lake, then he will vote for my forestry reform.I want to stand up and say, "This isn't right," but I have no allies. So to do so would be to risk all that is good, so I lie awake trying to work out which path to follow, alone. There is no search for a wife, because politics consumes me constantly. That is the speech I stored up for you." Tewksbury finished
"You're a good man." Enola said
"I'm a man now?" Tewsburry teased
"On occasion." Enola chimed rolling her eyes
"But I understand your struggle, because I struggle too. I am sorry we cannot talk more, because I have..."
"A case to solve?" He finished Enola's sentence for her
"The girl I'm looking for, Sarah Chapman, she has proof that girls are dying from the phosphorus they work with every day. And the factories are trying to cover it up as typhus. She knows it, and someone is going to kill her for it."
"Then what can we do?"
"We?"
Suddenly someone began knocking on the door
