A/N: Certainly there's enough expensive paintings depicting lazy landscapes, frustrated horses, or Happy Hour in Hell in the world, so why would Professor Moriarty have the painting of a young woman at his study wall? Also, with that amount of people breaking into his study, it could be central station.


“We are but asteroids, Moran.”
Hands folded neatly behind his back, Professor Moriarty stood at the window of his study.
“Hiding in the dark, in the crowd, the void, until it is time to strike…”
He turned to where the painting hang. Thirty-five thousand pounds, mutilated by a smear of yellow paint.
“Asking permission to shoot your sister, Sir.”
“Granted.”
