- Back to 1929 -

The Auction was now over and the Nurse pushed Johns Wheelchair out of the old Opera House which would close the evening of this day. Rosie walked beside her father. „So what is it all about this Opera House? I want to hear everything." But an old Womans voice interrupted John, before he could speak up to his daughter. „My dear. That what your Father brought him here is the Case of The Phantom." Rosie turned around to an elder woman. The Woman John had made eye contact earlier. The Woman who also seemed to want this old music box, that is now clenched in both of Johns shaking hands.

„It is good to see you again Ereena. It's been too long." John smiled a little and Rosie looked to him. „You know her?" And he nodded. Ereena walked up to three of them and shook Rosies hand. „Ereena Valenza. You must be Rosie Watson am I right?" And the blond just nodded. „Are you visiting her?" The old Woman than asked John and he again nodded with a sad smile. „It is about time. Now with the Music Box she has something to sing about again." Ereena smiled at that. „Do you mind if I come with you?" she asked politely. Rosie looked into her Fathers eyes. „Explaining, Father. Now." Ereena laid a hand on her shoulders. „Let me explain it to you."

With that the four took of again in the chilly air of the French October wind.

And as promised Ereena begun to explain. „I was just in my 20's when I met you Father and his Friend." she started. „Gentlemen. British all the way." she laughed and Rosie couldn't keep away that smile while John laughed a little. „The Case of the Phantom was a famous one. And it costed so much lives. Even after the Case was closed." Her eyes turned a little watery and the blond Woman lend the old Woman a tissue. „I've got a feeling that you may need this." she said with that and Ereena took it with a thanks.

„You must know Miss Rosie. I lived in this Opera with my Mother, may she rest in peace, and my best friend. She was a special Girl with a big talent to be a great singer. Her voice could melt the coldest of hearts." Than John spoke up. „And it really worked. I never thought he could feel such thing as Love." Rosie was confused. „I don't think I'm thinking of the right person right now." John looked up to his daughter and nodded. „My dear, you are not wrong at all. We are talking about your Uncle Sherlock."

- Back in 1889 -

Two days were now gone by, with Sherlock and John not knowing anything new. (Y/N) appeared in the late hours of the same day she vanished and no one seemed to be worried or at least didn't want to act on it, but John and Sherlock wanted to. So wanted Ereena. She came up at their door yesterday and told them she needed to help her best friend (Y/N) and that she would do anything. John wasn't really appreciating it, because Ereena could die and he wouldn't want to pull Nicoline through such horrible thing as to losing her only child but Sherlock accepted her help with a nod.

Today was the day of the Grand opening of the Opera House and the theme was a Masqueball. John happily agreed to the invention they've got from Rousseau but Sherlock didn't looked pleased. Balls meant meeting people. He hated people. But John dragged him to it and managed that Sherlock even put on a mask. John wore a basic silver masked, that covered his blue eyes. The mask had little patterns on it but I didn't attracted to much attention. Sherlock wished to switch masked with him, because everyone now stared at him.
