Young Sherlock Holmes And The Pyramid Of Fear Page #7

---

of their distortion of traditional beliefs,

and their violent and sadistic rituals.

The Rame Tep use a blowpipe

and shoot a thorn into their victim.

The thorn is dipped into a solution

made up of plant extracts.

Upon entering the bloodstream,

the solution causes the victim realistic,

nightmare-like hallucinations.

- But we can be certain of one thing.

- What's that?

The murderer is still here...

on school grounds.

That's a rash statement, since this

jingling has been heard only once.

- Twice.

- Twice?

Remember a few nights ago

in the courtyard?

Uncas heard a jingling sound

like you described.

He took a piece of clothing from him.

It might still be here!

We must find that piece of clothing.

We sprang into action, searching

every nook and cranny for the cloth.

I accidentally turned on

one of Waxflatter's strange machines,

and I had the dickens of a time

trying to turn the thing off.

I found it! I found it!

Holmes spent a night and day

examining the section of cloth.

He conducted numerous experiments.

Not once did he rest.

His energy seemed boundless.

Following 18 straight hours of work,

Holmes turned to us, and those

four familiar words shot from his lips:

The game is afoot!

He explained it was Egyptian in origin

and contained so many warp and weft

threads, which I didn't understand.

The cloth was stained with paraffin

made only at Froggit and Froggit,

located in Wapping in London,

a dark and dangerous place,

and I told him so

in no uncertain terms!

Perhaps we should come back

in the morning when it's lighter,

and when there are more people.

- It's open.

- Holmes, wait.

- What if the murderer's inside?

- Then I shall introduce myself.

(BOARDS CREAK)

(SQUEAKS)

I knew it, there's no one here.

Back to school, eh?

Watson, you'll be on your own.

What do you suppose it is?

Some sort of Egyptian artwork?

Some sort of statue?

No, Watson, I'm afraid this is only

the tip of the iceberg.

- (CRACKING)

- Ah...!

Oh, no!

(COUGHING)

This is an interesting development.

(FAINT CHANTING)

There must be a passageway inside.

I hear chanting.

Holmes, there's a door here!

Fancy him missing a door.

Watson, Elizabeth, over here.

(STAIRS CREAK)

(CHANTING IS CLOSER)

It's some sort of temple.

(LOUD CHANTING)

- I'm going down for a closer look.

- Let's get out of here alive!

Stay here,

I'll be back in a few minutes.

(CHANTING IS MORE URGENT)

(GIRL SCREAMS)

Stop! She's alive!

(CHANTING STOPS)

Get him! Get him!

Get him!

- Ah!

- Ah!

We got them!

Elizabeth!

Can you hear?

(BOTH) Elizabeth!

- What could have happened to her?

- Maybe she was hit by a thorn.

Aah...!

- (DISTANT SCREAM)
