[Unfortunately for John, the Alphabet Woman is either too clever or too paranoid to leave a key just sitting around for anyone to find, and so he will have to resort to a broken brick in the back yard.

At least it's the middle of the day so most people should be at work, and this is a bad neighbourhood so the crime won't be seen as too unusual. Nor does anyone come running when he does break a window, suggesting that nobody is home.

The house is completely empty and covered in dust, it's clearly not anyone's actual home but more an abandoned property that is being used as a base of operation. Footprints in the dust show recent activity.

On the stairs is a note.]


Dear Captain Watson,

If you are reading this then you have succeeded in finding him within your three day limit. Don't get too comfortable. I'm still going to take him and everyone else away from you.

Yours,

Harry.
