I didnt even realize we had a backgammon board. One cant bend the dice to ones will. Ah, good. Watson. I see youve met mr. Mueller of brussels. Sort of. Mr. Mueller arrived shortly after you left and has refused to state his business until all parties were present. So. State your business. Youre no doubt aware that four days ago a civil contractor by the name of ezra kleinfelter leaked a dossier of National Secrets to the media. It is believed that he is sitting on more such information. Yes, i vaguely recall the incessant media coverage. I represent a consortium of likeminded citizens and we are concerned about mr. Kleinfelters safety. We think that certain other parties that are pursuing him have something other than a fair trial in mind. Youre worried someones going to kill him . Your work comes highly recommended by the damery corporation. Hmm. We would like you to join in the pursuit of mr. Kleinfelter. If and when you find him, we would like you to deliver him to us, and we will in turn bring him to an embassy that has promised to provide safe haven until trial. Now, i under that mr. Kleinfelters actions are controversial. So if youd like a small window of time to research the group that i represent. No, that wont be necessary. Well take the case. If youll excuse us, mr. Mueller. My associate, she gets rather grumpy if she doesnt take her midmorning nap. We will be in touch when we have secured mr. Kleinfelter. Thank you both very much. Thank you. door closes yes . Really . Sounds like aiding and abetting a fugitive. Hmm. Excellent. I took that while you distracted him. Good enough likeness, dont you think . What are you going to do with that picture . I once helped a lebanese agoraphobe retain copyright on a piece of facial recognition software. Im not saying the young lady owes me billions of pounds, but i do think she can analyze my portrait for me. I took the case because i want to put mr. Mueller, or whatever his name is, at ease. We are going to follow him and divine his nefarious plans, so we dont want his hackles up. Muellers not his real name . No belgian is that bad at backgammon. Of course mueller has nefarious plans for kleinfelter. Why else the ruse . Im not arguing that hes a good guy. Can you just stop saying nefarious . phone chimes thats like 15 times in the last ten minutes. My agoraphobe responds. Yep, there are no recent photos of anyone matching our man on public record. But the orbital ridge doesnt lie. I give you elliot honeycutt, as he looked when he entered officers candidate school in 1975. He entered the q course for special forces training right after he graduated. He was discharged in 88, and he went to work as a systems analyst for everwood communications. Since exposed by the sentinel as a cia front. Currently vp of corporate counterintelligence at. Redding enterprises. The same contractor that, until recently, employed ezra kleinfelter. How did you know that . Redding. That man is not looking to bring ezra kleinfelter to justice. Hes looking to eliminate him. Jcron im sorry, who are you . Nt we all like .

Turns out that most of ezras thoughts on a broken world have to do with how he cant get a date with his neighbor. That, and a bunch of ayn rand quotes. Philosopherinchief to the intellectually bankrupt. Hey, we never talked about what were going to do with him. We are going to gather data on him, and then were going to use that data to extrapolate his current whereabouts. No, im talking about after that. I mean, ezra exposed some pretty terrible stuff. Some people think hes a hero. Yet some would like to see him hung from the nearest yardarm. Youre asking where i stand . Im fairly certain that he doesnt deserve to be stalked and possibly executed by his former employers. Its funny. Most leakers, they tend to release their information to multiple sources at the same time. Its the best way to insure that it is disseminated. But kleinfelter dealt exclusively with one journalist, Celia Carroll of the dispatch. I wonder why. Oh. Well, she looks like that. Could have something to do with it. Ive already talked to everybody in this city who carries a badge. Who are you guys again . Sherlock holmes. Joan watson. We are consultants with the nypd, although our interest in this matter is private. Okay. Well, ill tell you what i told everyone else. But im doing an oncamera soon, so this has to be quick. sighs i havent heard from ezra. Ive no idea where he is. Before your story came out, did he tell you what his plans were . Well, sure, he planned to leave the country before i published, but that got scotched when redding figured out hed been downloading classified material. Everything got pushed up, ezra had to go into hiding. Do you think he has a romantic interest in you . Judging by his writings, youre exactly his type. Youre bespectacled, youre lean and yet possessed of an alluring curve of flank. Celia possessed of. . Look, you know what, never mind. The couple of times we met facetoface, it never came up. So you no longer consider him your source . You have no reason to believe hes going to get in touch with you . I already told you i dont know where he is. Im not looking to help anybody find ezra, but even if i were, id be the last person hed get in touch with. Youd think someone that ambitious would be a better liar. Hmm. You made sure to ask her where ezra is a second time. She leaned back, crossed her arms. When someone whos not used to lying is forced to repeat it, they resort to defensive posture. Ms. Carroll has been in touch with ezra kleinfelter, but shes done it in a way which has eluded the attention of those observing her. Were going to have to analyze her movements. Determine how theyre communicating. Were about to sit around for a very long time, arent we . sighs holmes ms. Carroll, it seems, will give an interview to anyone with a camera. This is her fifth one today, no sign of fatigue. Do you think were cut off from the world . You know, neither of us dates, neither of us really goes out much. At all, actually. Were not cut off from the world. Were engaged in creating one thats actually worth living in. One that addresses our needs entirely, and eliminates everything extraneous. Well, my friend signed me up for this dating web site, and i think im gonna put my profile up. You know, so be nice, if i bring anyone around, okay . Wont be an issue. Oh. Our journalist tears herself away from her adoring public. Why wont it be an issue . Because you wont actually bring anyone around. Ive lived most of my life with the Firm Conviction that romantic love is a delusion. Its a futile hedge against the existential terror that is our own singularity. Then i met someone who calls herself irene adler, and that forced me to reexamine those convictions. She, of course, turned out to be a criminal. Never really discussed how that made you feel. I feel. Liberated. I am, now and forever, postlove. And, as such, im free to pursue a life of meaning. Holmes oh, how very droll. So the Security Guard is her conduit to ezra. Holmes we need to learn how hes connected. Look through his phone should do the trick. Yeah, think hes just gonna give us his phone . No, of course not. Im going to pickpocket it. Of course, because you know how to pick pockets. Its a fascinating art. Its all to do with establishing trust and eye contact. Oh, ill just have to take your word for it. Good. And youll need this back. hissing and buzzing you just stole that phone. Why are you nuking it . Holmes because it couldnt be more dangerous if it was fashioned from liquid ebola. Hector, the Security Guard, it seems, is a man of hidden enthusiasms. In his spare time, he frequents a web site called jamaica quay. Its a Gathering Place for identity thieves, intellectual property pirates, other cyberhighwaymen. And judging by his posts and his private messages, hector is affiliated with the collective that calls itself everyone. Oh, yeah, the hackers from the news. Well, they prefer to describe themselves as cyber activists, but yes. It seems that hector and his associates have taken up the banner of mr. Kleinfelter. Theyre committed to getting him to safety. Hector has received a number of communiques from someone who calls himself defenestrator. Theyre speaking in code, but i am quite certain that defenestrator is harboring ezra kleinfelter. Oh. So, what are we supposed to do . Just look up defenestrator in the phone book and were good to go . Well, you are closer to a productive thought than you realize. Jamaica quay is anonymous. So you cant simply trace the user name defenestrator to an actual person. You need to wait for them to reveal themselves. In other words, you plan on arguing on the internet all night . Yes. I think im just gonna take this upstairs. rustling gasps holmes i put clyde in your bed in an effort to be a more considerate flat mate. Ive decided not to wake you at dawn unless absolutely necessary. So you used your pet turtle as an alarm clock . And circumstances have dictated that i violate the spirit of my resolution. Its been an eventful night. Defenestrator has proved to be a canny piece of quarry. During the course of the debate, she revealed that she lives within a threeblock radius of the building that used to house rubens delicatessen. She . That was around 2 00 a. M. I spent the rest of the night coaxing an employee of saturnware computers into trying to reveal who within that radius recently purchased highend equipment suitable enough for hacking. My search yielded one name vanessa hiskie. Thats whos hiding ezra kleinfelter. knocking watson vanessa . Vanessa hiskie . Before you throw the last tumbler, you might want to pause to consider the beauty of this moment. Were about to succeed where the combined wits of a dozen or so federal agencies have failed. Remind me again what cloistered, shriveled things our lives are. Ezra kleinfelter . Sherlock. I feel lik and leaping singing and flying through the air.

I love bold flavors id love it if youd open the chute [ male announcer ] progresso. Surprisingly bold flavor for a heart healthy soup. Surprisingly bold flavor there are skin fragments beneath her fingernails. Im confident those will yield the attackers dna. So, argument gone bad. And according to you, ezra kleinfelters been hiding out here . We havent found any concrete evidence that she had a guest, but yes. Which, considering this place wasnt broken into, would have to make him a suspect. I mean, i dont get it. The whole worlds looking for this guy, shes willing to put him up and he kills her . He didnt set out to kill her. No, something went wrong between them. Most likely a spurned romantic overture, yes. Kleinfelter grew insistent, ms. Hiskie resisted. But we neednt have a socratic dialogue, captain, cause we have dna. Well, actually, we dont. Kleinfelter doesnt have any priors. I just doublechecked with vicap. He was fingerprinted for his security clearance, but he doesnt have a dna sample on file. So, in the messages that she passed on to that reporter, vanessa hiskie, did. She never referred to kleinfelter by name . Excuse me. Did you find that book in this box . Yeah. It was in the closet. Why . Ezra kleinfelters favorite author. Half the college kids in the country have that book. Yes, but vanessas bookshelf is in her bedroom. Why would she leave this one book out in this box along with, uh, a map of new york, a travel guide to venezuela, a compass and an unopened box of crackers . Ezra didnt hook up with everyone until a couple of days after he was on the run, so he had to be hiding somewhere during that time. I think he brought this box with him when he came here. Lets get word out that kleinfelter is a person of interest in a homicide. Please. I need a moment free from the internet. Im trying to drag myself away, but the people im in conflict with are too infuriating to ignore. Oh, youre still fighting with people . Ive been monitoring jamaica quay. Its frequented by members of everyone, so theres at least a chance one of them knows where ezra is hiding. But i have, of course, been drawn into a debate as to whether mr. Kleinfelter, murder suspect, is the victim of a government frameup. Are governments capable of evil . Yes, of course they are. All institutions are. But theyre more capable of incompetence. Thats good. I should post that. sighs what are you doing . Im looking at profiles of guys who winked at me on trueromantix. I weep for the whole desperate lot of you. phone ringing hello. Man hi. Im calling about your web ad. Uh, i think you have the wrong number. You dont have a model train set . What . No. Well, i happen to think that jeff heinz of Washington Heights is cute. Im gonna wink back. Hows that for postlove . phone ringing hello. Man 2 hey, i can be there in 20 minutes. Are the trains set up . Excuse me . Um, what is this thing about the trains . Oh, you said we can take our clothes off and play with the trains together . What . static what is happening with my computer . doorbell ringing hey. Got your pies. Uh, we didnt order pizza. Um, yeah, you did. Ii got, like, 20 more larges with pineapple in my trunk. Im afraid youve been duped. This is for your trouble. Please see those pizzas find a good home. Thank you. What is happening . Hmm. They most likely traced the phone here before the microwave destroyed it. Whowho traced the phone here . Hector the Security Guard realized his phone had been stolen, and then tracked it to this address before i realized he was a member and destroyed it. He and his compatriots have reasoned that the enemies of ezra kleinfelter reside here, and now they plan to subject us to a liferuin. phone rings have you changed your Online Banking password recently . In the last couple of weeks. Why . They can just get into our Computers Like that . Well, amongst other places, but you should be all right on that front. Your email, social media sites, those passwords are not derived from the names of family members, are they . Why . I dont think theres any need to panic. Heartfelt apology still works miracles, ive found. What am i apologizing for . Where are you going . Were not going to get any work done here. All right, thanks. Hey, did you guys know your phones are disconnected . Yes. Any word on the box that we found in vanessa hiskies apartment . We pulled some partial prints, but nothing matches kleinfelter. I need to examine the contents of that box. I told you it was a bust. Forensically, yes, but kleinfelters on the front page of every bloody newspaper. He doesnt exactly have the run of the city. He had to go somewhere after he murdered vanessa hiskie. He couldnt reach out to everyone straightaway, not after murdering one of their own. We also know that he wasnt under their protection until two days after he became a fugitive. You think he went back to the first place he was hiding. Okay. So. Looks like hes somewhere. In new york. O
