            Valentine’s Day.

            Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day.  Tomorrow will be the League’s FINAL PUSH, the coup de théâtre.  Every theft has been related to Valentine’s Day—the jewelry, the painting, especially the candy.  The Met located the stolen candy earlier today, floating across the surface of Pen Ponds in Richmond Park.  Glare of the sunlight on the silver foil candy wrappers: highly noticeable.  (Sherlock thought it was almost beautiful.)  However, this time, no obvious vandalism at the site.  Unless the candy in the water was the vandalism.  Could be.  AFTER DELIVERANCE WE’LL HAVE A PERIOD OF REST…

 

            What was the League trying to do?  Steal from the rich and give to the poor fish, ducks, and deer?  And what does the location mean?  What does the park point to?  The nun points to the church, yes.  The candy store points to the warehouses.  Something’s wrong about this.  The park will point to—anywhere with high foot traffic?  Doesn’t feel right.  Sherlock sighs, shaking his head.  Go over it again.  Valentine’s Day: a romantic occasion.  Richmond Park: a romantic destination, according to (various) travel guides.  Hills with stunning views, those are supposed to be romantic.  Watching the sun go down and the stars come out—or whatever it is normal people do.  (Astronomy tends to inspire romance, doesn’t it?  Constellations and planets and things?)

 

            Wait.  Wait, this is familiar…
