Tricky riddles
Colleen cautiously head to the place that Edgar gave at her. Upon arriving, Colleen accested by a large man with an intimidating glare.
Lou
What are you doing here?
Colleen Campbell
Um, i just need to meet someone...
Lou
Sorry. This is a members-only bar. Do you have a reference?
Colleen Campbell
Right... Edgar told me come here. This is his card.
Colleen hand the man the business card and his expression changes.
Lou
Ol' Ed! Why didn't you say so earlier?
Lou
Come on in. Who are you planning to see?
Colleen Campbell
(who exactly was Edgar...?)
The man escorts Colleen to the bar area and motions her over to the bartender that Edgar told her about.
walt
Vis? you want me to tell you his current address?
Colleen Campbell
Yes, please.
walt
I can't really do that.
Colleen Campbell
Why not? Edgar said you could help me.
walt
Well, about that... Vis doesn't really stay in just one place.
walt
He keeps moving. No one knows where he'll be unless you manage to solve his puzzle.
Colleen Campbell
A puzzle?
walt
He leaves a puzzle behind his bars like ours so that anyone looking for him will have to find him
Colleen Campbell
But he's an informant! Doesn't that give us more work to do??
walt
It's his way of protecting himself. There are many people out there who are eager to silence others who may have info about them.
Colleen Campbell
I see. Still... This is quite an ordeal.
Colleen Campbell
But there's something i need to do so... please give me the puzzle.
Colleen take a sit on the bed of her apartment. Even after a year of living here, it just doesn't really feel like home.

Colleen Campbell
(As much as I wanted him to come back to that house, i just couldn't afford to keep it.)
Colleen Campbell
No... I shouldn't let myself be distracted from the Matter at hand!
Colleen Campbell
What i have now could be the key to finding my brother
Colleen take a look at the slip of paper that the bartender handed to her.
Colleen Campbell
What are these? They look like Stick figures...
Colleen Campbell
Am i supposed to decode this to find that informant?
Colleen Campbell
For some reason... These dancing men look familiar.
Colleen Campbell
Dancing... Men?
Colleen leap up, her heart pounding with excitement. She'd seen this before in one of Ray's books.
Taking on her hand, Colleen quickly leaf through the pages.
Colleen Campbell
The adventure of Sherlock Holmes... This is it.
Inserted between the pages in Ray's neat handwriting is a set of letters and numbers paired with every drawing of a dancing man.
Colleen Campbell
It feels like everything is leading to this moment. Could this be fate...?
