Sherlock Gnomes Page #4

Benny! What's going on?

- Dad!

- Mom!

- Nanette!

- Benny!

Ju, they're all gone.

We're too late.

Please step back.

This is an active

crime scene.

Hey! Who are you and what are

you doing in our garden?

Your garden?

Where were the two of you

when this happened?

Oh... They were having

a lovers' quarrel.

See how she's

facing away from him?

She's angry with him.

The flower in his hand was

intended as a romantic gesture.

A desperate act

that predictably backfired.

- Oi!

- Watson.

Search the west quadrant.

If that fiend is behind this,

he will have left

his calling card.

What's this?

Let me see that.

Tell me what it is.

It's a clue.

It will lead us

to our next destination.

And if you ever want to see

your friends and family again,

you'll hand it over.

The nine.

There is a slight crack

in its leg.

Hmm. Where have I seen

this particular nine before?

Nine, nine, nine, nine...

Nine! I've got it!

To Chinatown, Watson.

The game is afoot.

Mate,

you're going nowhere...

Stay here!

We're on the case.

What a complete and total...

Get up.

We're going after them.

Wait!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Wait!

All ahead full, Watson.

No, wait for us!

Hold on!

Forget them!

We can handle this ourselves.

Or do the exact opposite.

Your call.

Keep those tablets

coming, Watson.

The water level.

It's dropping.

Cut the engines!

Now tell us

what happened to our family.

We don't have time for this.

Will you please step aside?

Not until you tell us

what's going on.

Hmm?

- Oh. Too late.

- What's too late?

Oh, here they come.

And now we have a rat problem,

thanks to these

meddlesome amateurs.

If you don't

want to get trampled,

I suggest you help

Watson pull.

Come on! Give me a hand.

Oh, phew.

"Phew"? Young gnome,

what exactly do you think

those rats were running from?

Oh, no.

There!

That's our way out!

Sherlock! Hold on!

Are you okay?

You were saying,

uh, something about

"meddlesome amateurs"?

I stand by that assessment.

But if you insist on meddling, perhaps

you could supplement Watson's efforts.

How thoughtful.

What did you say

your names were?

- We didn't. I'm Gnomeo.

- Juliet.

I'm Sherlock Gnomes, the world's

first consulting detective

and sworn protector

of London's garden gnomes.

- And I am...

- No time for that now, Watson.

To the surface!

We've not a moment to lose.

Look, now we're on the team, how

about you tell us what's going on?

Starting with this.

The "M" stands for Sherlock's

archenemy, Moriarty.

Moriarty's pies

The taste that makes you smile

Filled with goobarb syrup

Makes you eat it all the while

Some ornaments

are just manufactured evil.

And Moriarty, he was
