Alice Adler the daughter of the one and only Irene Adler herself. Spent her early sunday afternoon at Jim Moriarty's funeral, not many people were there considering that the Moriarty's did not have a good reputation in London. In the front sat Eliza Moriarty, Jim Moriarty's only daughter, crying and lost. Her father had shot himself at the top of Barts Hospital before Sherlock Holmes jumped to his death, you'd be surprised to know that more people attended Jim Moriartys funeral than Londons very own hero Sherlock Holmes.

Alice stared at Eliza from the back where she was standing as her mom nudged her "Alice stop staring" she mumbled lowly, Alice didn't hear her and was nudged again "Alice Alder stop staring!" Irene said a little bit louder and got Alice's attention "sorry" Alice said taking her eyes and examining other stuff. The funeral was outside since no one would offer their church to the family, they got lucky they even got a casket.

When the Family was asked to leave a rose on the casket Eliza and her grandmom went up, at the same time she saw a glimpse of John Watson standing up by a tree lurking over the funeral of Jim. This angered Eliza more than anything.. she believed that Sherlock and John were responsible for her fathers death and she wanted revenge, "Grandmama i'll be right back" she smiled and headed off towards the direction of the tree.

Alice saw Eliza walk away and tried to follow her but her mom stopped her "where do you think you're going?" Irene didn't break eye contact with the casket "i'm going to see if shes alright now let me go!" she groaned and fought with her mother to get out of her grip. After a little Alice gave up accepting defeat "god damn you women" she whispered under her breath with a tone of annoyance and attitude, Irene finally broke eye contact and turned her head slowly to look at Alice "what was that young lady?" she hissed and Alice tried to come up with an excuse "u-uh nothing i was talking about the really tall lady infront of us" she nodded and smiled nervously.

The deep tone of aggervation was deep in Irenes voice she was dragged to the funeral by Alice and clearly never wanted to be there. She never understood why Alice wanted to see Eliza so much I mean she has taught her daughter that the Moriartys are the devils of London.. she has told her to stay away from them why was Alice so intrigued by them? Alice tries to see the good in everyone even if they harmed innocent peoples lives over and over again without being caught.. but that wasn't just all that caught Alices eye, Eliza was badass.. she was young but could still get away with big crimes even if Sherlock and Irene worked together to find her and Sherlock is the most brilliant person to exsist! Alice wanted to know how she did it but she also wanted to prove to her mother that not all Moriartys can be bad.

John saw Eliza approaching him and stepped out into her view "so we meet.. Jims only daughter huh?" he chuckled not acutally caring that her father was dead. Eliza started to breathe heavily and shoved him "You bastard! you and your friend are the reason my father is dead! the only person i had left is gone and its your fault!" Eliza yelled while starting to cry "you can't be nice to us for one god damn second! you're lucky my father wanted a normal funeral and not one imbedded with tricks." she balled her hands into fists "i will get you one of these days Watson." she stormed off back in the direction of the funeral.
