Detective John Watson walks down the ally towards the sergeant of police.

"So what do we have here sir?"
"Well It appears to be a burglary and a homicide. The maid was working late when she saw the burglar, unfortunately he saw her too and now we have a sad family and a stolen ring."
"Do we have any wittinesses?"
"Yes we have two. A elderly woman who I don't think actually saw anything and a small boy with a fear of spiders"
"Not the most helpful group of witnesses"

A rattle of metal comes from the building above, a sinister stranger looks at the two then runs.

"looks like we have a our criminal Watson."

Then Watson quickly cranks of the handcuffs onto the criminal.
