"Report will be required."

"What?"

"A report of this incid-"

"Photo, we were just nearly bloody well KILLED and you want me to write a bloody REPORT?"

"A repor-"

"Bollocks to that. Write it yourself."

Incident Report follows.

At approximately 17:30, Baker Squad began investigating the communications silence of Knight Squad. Reports indicated Knight Squad involved in some manner of Altercation. Was dispatched to Knight Squad's location in order to ascertain nature of problem, if applicable.

Arrived at 18:27, Sherlock assisting. Signs of forced entry obvious. Door was bullet laden, removed from hinges via application of extreme force. Likely kicked in following initial barrage. Numerous bullet casings, samples acquired at time of entry for later examination. Casings belonged to assault weapons, evidence suggested several intruders, firing automatic weapons. Large boot prints, identical. Suggests uniforms of some sort. Local police unlikely, would have been reported at this point.

Further examination revealed signs of massive struggle. Judging by the surroundings, Incident occurred within 5-7 hours of our arrival. Blood, both pools and castoff patterns, throughout main area. Doubtful that all of the blood belonged to Knight Squad. Signs of multiple bodies being removed.

One body discovered: Second Morningstar. Not displeased by this, by all accounts deceased was Ineffectual at best. Pompous Drunken Imbecile at worst. Multiple gunshot wounds. Far more than Necessary.

Cell phone discovered alongside body. Cell phone began receiving communication shortly afterwards. Transcript follows:

Sherlock: "Hullo?"

[Pause]

?: "...I painted you a picture"

[Momentary Pause]

?: "Do you like it? My favorite color is red, what's yours?"

S: "Moriarty....?"

Goldstein: "No, the Queen of England."

S: "Why?"

G: "Because I'm a member of the Royal Family, "Joseph", why else?!"

S: "Don't FUCK WITH ME!"

[Pause]

G: "Just a little warning. I am your 'friend' Morgan's suicide note, "Joseph" "

G: "Do not underestimate me or what I am willing to do."

S: "Why? Why do this, then?"

[Pause]

G: "I want to know what you think about why I do what I do"

S: "You're a fucking meglomaniac, is what I think!"
G: "And you are unusually lacking in perceptive abilities when you're surrounded by blood. Have fun with the mystery, Holmes"
