That's probably for the best. [ He works on fixing his tea up the way he likes it and finally takes a sip before heading back to his chair again. ]

We briefly discussed the chances of Moriarty appearing, but since I now know it's an organisation he's dealing with, it might prudent to have a plan incase one of them should turn up. Obvious, they won't be nearly as dangerous to us-but to Conan-well, they might hold a grudge.

Probably. It'd be good to know what we should be looking out for in case a transformation ever happens. [John doesn't take nearly as long to fix his own cup but waits while Sherlock doctors his before following to sit across from him.]

So far I haven't seen anyone that could be part of the Organization when I've been out. Though they could be in disguise. [He does know sort of what to look for - what with the black suits and all.] If any of them know Conan's true identity they might very well hold a grudge. I don't doubt that we'd be targets if they did show up. [Part of the reason he carries a gun with him whenever he's out.]

Yes, that was his concern. That we'd want to investigate and become targets ourselves. [ He thinks back the earlier conversation. He has no doubt that Conan is right about the fact he and John would be moved to the target list but he does doubt if they'd get anywhere with their revenge. ]

Most likely, it's even a valid concern but cut from their resources they'll be much easier to take on. I have half a mind to give Valdis their descriptions because that's something I'd rather we know before he does. However, I promised not to mention it to anyone else.

There isn't exactly a whole lot we can do here. As far as we know none of them are here and chances of him remembering any idea that does form isn't one he'll remember back home. However, there's nothing stopping us from investigating should they show up. [Conan is keeping up the appearance of a seven year old and Shinichi is still technically only seventeen - still a teenager and probably not likely to get many adults to let him investigate something so dangerous.]

We're the only ones here who can help him. Back home he has a handful of individuals who know the truth, who can help him out and I've no doubt that he needs it from time-to-time. He just... doesn't trust us enough yet. Given time it's likely he will. After all, we didn't only go to his world just because I was his doctor.

Yes, but while he's here, we're better equipped to protect him. He may not like it but I don't think he'd be able to handle it if they did turn up here.

[ He thinks back to the glimpses of the organization he'd been allowed to see through Conan's memories-the one in particular seemed to really rattle the boy and it wasn't anything Sherlock enjoyed seeing. At least though, he could identify the men should they turn up on the back of the turtle. ]

Shall we assign a codeword?

We are, yes. He definitely won't like it but no one can do everything on their own, no matter how smart they are. [Conan thinks that if no one knows his secret that he'll be safe and that he'll be able to keep all of them safe too. Maybe it would, maybe being in the dark is the only option left but that doesn't mean they won't exhaust every available idea first.]

Fugazi. [Italian for fake or phony but also slang from the Vietnam War for a messed up situation. Might as well stick with their old military terms while not staying within the boundaries of just one war.]

Fugazi. [ Sherlock tests the word out and gives a brief nod, committing it to memory. ]

Then of course there's the problem of learning how to identify these people-if it is an organisation there is, no doubt, a large number of them.

[They're going to end up with a million codewords someday.]

As far as I know they wear black suits and they've no special powers. The one main difference between what we're used to and about Conan's world is the drug that they forced on him. Their skills and abilities are things that we're used to dealing with. It will help that they aren't likely to be the sort to put themself on the network so casually and there don't seem to be many here who they could ally themselves with.

[Most of the people here seemed to be the kind who wouldn't get involved with shady individuals.]

[ They will be able to talk in their own secret code. Sherlock is okay with this. ]

It's more of a problem if they don't make themselves known. And if they come across the cultist that could turn into a much worse situation.

[A bit surprising they don't have their own secret code already. It could be like when they took on the Chinese smuggling ring.]

That's the part that concerns me too. If they decide to ditch their black suit after arrival, we won't be able to pick them out of a crowd. Even Conan doesn't know who all might be a member of the organization.

We'll just have to remain vigilant and keep an eye out. For the moment that's about all we can do.
