“My…prize. Ah, yes. My prize. Limits?”

“Can’t be supernatural or extra-terrestrial. Anything else is fair game. You could put Moriarty in jail. Get all the good cases. Or perhaps I’ll give you the best case you ever had. Take your pick.”

Sherlock paused. “And if I ask you to turn yourself in, with a full and comprehensive list of all your operatives?”

She paused in turn. “Oh. I didn’t think of that. Good boy, Sherlock. Yes. I would be honour-bound to obey.”

“Hmm,” Sherlock said, thinking it over. What to do… Suddenly he smiled. “You’re God, correct?”

“In a fashion.”

“Angels vs the Demons.”

“Yes,” she said, annoyance slipping through.

“Then for my prize, I want you to fight on the side of the angels. Shut down your organisation and work for me.”

She smiled. “Oh, Sherlock. What a good idea. Let’s talk terms.”
