      Sherlock Holmes From the Depths - Michael John Light

      Crime Scene

      Harry, Conan and Challenger came running up to the alleyway, just as the same gentlemen we learned of earlier was brought forth on a stretcher. His eyes looked off into forever.

      Constable Evans recognized his friends and came to greet them from the alley. Poor chap. Died of a heart attack, I imagine.

      Conan went to the stretcher as it was being loaded into the back of a siren and checked the corpse over closely. He has all the appearances of someone struck by lightning.

      Constable Evans rushed over.

      Lightning? But that’s impossible; there have been no storms or electrical activity for days now.

      Conan gave him a stubborn look.

      Alright, alright, Constable Evans quickly said, trying to defuse Conan’s temper. Then how did he die of an electrical shock?

      Challenger eyed the stiff posture of the man. Every muscle in his body has contracted. He hasn’t been dead that long, has he Conan?

      Conan bent closer to the man inside the siren and put a finger to his neck. Body temperature indicates no more than two hours.

      Harry noticed something in the man’s right hand and gently pried it free, unseen by the others as he spoke. He frowned, I’ve seen something like this before.

      Everyone turned to look at him.

      Harry turned about so they could see his face.

      Where? Constable Evans asked.

      Germany. Doctor Frankenstein, Conan replied.

      But he’s in prison now, or dead from what I’ve heard, Challenger pointed out.

      The man has found no jail he doesn’t love, Harry said.

      Constable Evans looked at him. What does that mean?

      That he’s not likely to still be in jail if he ever was in one, and he could be anywhere, Harry remarked a bit sourly.

      Why so bitter, Harry? Challenger demanded.

      Because the man is a lunatic. He once kidnapped Mina to use for body parts for the bride to his monster.

      That’s insane. I thought he only used dead body parts, Conan hissed.

      Oh, usually, but he was especially mad at me, Harry replied, his eyebrows furrowed in thought.

      How so?

      I blew up his castle, Harry replied, then turned about and headed for their taxi, which was waiting for them.

      Come gentlemen, he urged over his shoulder. I think we should include someone else in this particular investigation.

      Why? Challenger demanded, disappointed where this was going.

      Harry turned about and held up a piece of cloth with gears sewn into it

      Conan gasped.

      Challenger’s eyes narrowed. Where did you find that?

      Clutched in the man’s right hand, Harry replied.

      And... He pointed to a pair of footprints too small to be the man’s, but also in the alley, but heading the opposite direction.

      And... He pointed to a glistening trail of slime that rose from the cobblestones and climbed the nearest wall and over the edge of the roof.

      Dear me! Conan uttered.

      Challenger’s face grew grim.

      Fallen from the Gear Worlds

      She cried out angrily as tingles and shocks struck up
