The clink of brandy glasses and the smell of expensive cigars and pipe smoke perminates the air in one of the private rooms of the Diogenes Club. A fire crackles in the fireplace and quiet conservation fills the room. As Von Hardenberg begins another story, the door to the room slams open, a dischiveled young man with wide eyes bursts into the room with one of the Club's employes behind him. The young man's eyes locks on Dr. Galvan. "You fiend! I knew I could find you here! You have to pay for what you have done to my poor Elizabeth!" With that he pulls a short revolver from his pocket, aims at Dr. Galvan, and pulls the trigger. BAM!!

After a split-second spent gaping and staring in shock, Dr Schiff instinctively crouches down for cover.
Somewhat less instinctively, the good doctor (being of the medical variety) begins to try and make his way to Galvan's side, working his way (still crouched) through the no doubt frantic crowd of fellow witnesses.

"So, what exactly do you think it is Tasha? Intricate carvings, its certainly worth something. What type metal do you think its made of? Could we get more by selling it, or perhaps delivering it to its intended recipient. It can't be all that valuable if the person who murdered the chinaman didn't bother to take it. Unless he didn't know about it."
Angus draws his weapon and cocks it. "HOLD IT RIGHT THERE. DROP THE GUN"Sherlock said:
"DROP IT I SAY"
(if he threatens Angus or anyone else with the weapon, He'll fire. If he doesn't Angus will close and try to coax him into dropping his gun)
[OOC : the box : "I've got such sights to show you"]

After the gun shot, Dr. Galvan grabs his chest and falls to the ground. Angus draws his revolver and shouts at the young man to drop his gun. Seconds pass as the man stares at the slumped form of Dr. Galvan, a slack shocked expression on his face. He then turns his head to look at Angus, their eyes lock and the man's expression is that of relief and great sadness. He drops to his knees and the gun slides from his hand to the ground. Great sobs begin to wrack his body as he begins to cry.
Dr Schiff seeing that the man is no longer dangerous, rushes to Dr. Galvan and begins examining him.
Angus approaches, gun drawn, and picks up the gun in a hankerchief. He then goes to the young man, and holds him by the shoulder.Sherlock said:
"Come now lad, let's get you to the police station then." To the crowd "Has someone sent for a docter, or is it too late?"
He will then hail a cab to bring him to the main station and interrogate the lad. He looks as if he will tell evrything to a friendly ear, so Angus will play the role of understanding elderly uncle to the max.

After the shooter drops his gun, Dr Schiff fairly sprints over to Galvan's side.
"Shtand back, shtand back! I am a Doktor der Medizin!"

Tasha shakes her head.
"It doesn't look very valuable. I'd say the best bet would be to check out the address. I don't think our normal people will give much if anything for it."
She looks around casually.
"Shall we go?"
