A Particular Visitor

Dr. H. Griffin: The old man walked up the stairs of the front of the Society, his cane acting as a third foot. He had been thinking about this very place for some time now. After so many of it's residents had met him and his many failed plans for it were stopped by them, he decided that the more logical decision was not force; Moran's disappearance was clear indication of that.

Going alone was not advisable. Behind him, a small middle-aged consigliere named Talbot hopped eagerly up the step-way, keeping his large umbrella directly above the old man through the rain. The old man had entrusted Talbot with many of his business dealings, partly to do most of the dirty work when he was busy at the college, but mostly because Talbot would be easier to trace.

"Professor," Talbot piped up. "Why must we go here? They've done more harm to us than we have them."

"Exactly." the old man replied. "I'm giving them a choice. If they accept, then I shall never interfere with their business again; but if they refuse, then I shall have my direct attention to them in perpetuity."

"But why not just send me for this inquisition?" Talbot asked. "It would be safer that way."

"True, but I think it appropriate if both sides of the board could meet." the old man replied, looking intently at the door. They had reached the green portal. He nodded to Talbot.

Talbot nodded obediently, and raised the door knocker and thrust it down twice. A few moments later, the door opened, and before the person inside could speak, the old man interjected.

"Professor James Moriarty. I would like to see Dr. Henry Jekyll." the old man told the person in the door, grinning with bent teeth.
