Rewrite a chapter.

The Red-Headed League Summary
"This short story starts off with Watson once again visiting his friend from 221b Baker street. Once inside though he finds that Holmes is speaking with a red headed man named Jabez Wilson. After some convincing Watson was allowed to stay and the man began his tale. He worked as a prawn broker and had a very clever assistant, Vincent Spaulding. One day Vincent came in with a paper sporting an ad for and opening in The Red-Headed League. Eventually her got Jabez to apply, Jabez got the postion and went to work everyday until one day the Red-Headed League was disband which is when Jabez came to Sherlock for help. Holmes promised to have the case solved by monday and with that asked for silence from Watson for about fifty minuets, afterwards they went to the Pawnbroker's shop and beat the pavement around it with a stick. Ringing the doorbell they met Vincent. Later Holmes asked an officer to accompany him for an ambush in the near by bank (he also spoke with the director of the bank). Late at night Holmes, Watson, the officer, and the bank director waited and lo and behold Vincent and his accomplice sneak into the bank only to be caught. Holmes had deduced that Vincent was actually the notorious criminal John Clay and was using the basement from the Pawnbroker's shop to tunnel into the bank. He needed to get Jabez out of the way for a while so he made up the Red-Headed League and finished up the tunnel."
