I said Edwin? James realized the regeneration effects were taking hold early. (Really Autocorrect changed Edgris to Edwin for some reason.)

Holmes pinched the ridge of his nose and shook his head after taking his Lockpick back. "Sorry. Speech centers of my brain are being meddled--Muddled by the regeneration. It's trying to get at me early. I'll need to do things one at a time." He noticed an alert on his phone and knew why it was there.

"What I meant to say was to avoid doing setting off the pulse preset. I wouldn't want your masterpiece, Mister Edgris, to explode. It's far too well crafted to be blown up by a simple push of a button. As for the Static itself, it's really a remote connected to my phone and the device I used to create the Dust power source for the electric functions. Well...exploded. Been working of fixing it. Aagh!-- 'on', stupid head."

Seeing the Aconite fellow being dropped at his feet by Bruce, James thanked him.

"Thank you Bruce. Now would you watch the door? If a SWAT team comes barging through, ask let them know that I'm here. I wouldn't try to strike up conversation, the dogs are vicious when told to sic resistance."

He noticed Urdin doing nothing. "Cheer up Urdin. One of these men had a sword or a machete--the big one dropped his over there. Give Bruce some company."

He leaned close to Ed and whispered in his ear.

"Two things: Firstly, your secret is safe with me. Your family won't find you here. I'm running from mine to. Secondly: I don't appreciate it when someone hacks into my phone and looks for their presents before Winter Solstice. Relax. I'll get you your upgrades."

Holmes looked at the pathetic killer still crumpled on the floor. Seeing a sofa, James dragged the suspect and set him comfortably down upon it. He then took the chair in front of Aconite and compiled his thoughts.

"Mister 'Aconite'. You chose your alias cleverly but stupidly, as it is the name of the poison you've been using on your victims."
