DC191 Study In Baltic - Winter 1906 - The Stockbroker's Clerk
Holmes and Watson, at gunpoint, found themselves escorted through the Finnish woods along a narrow game-trail. The three men behind them remained silent, the gunman only grunting out directions whenever they reached a crossing or a branch in the path. After they had been walking for roughly an hour, the leader ordered them to stop for a break.
Sherlock eyed their abducters cooly, then ventured "Pycroft, I presume."
The gunman sputtered briefly, then regained himself. "You're as smart as they say you are, Mr. Holmes. But that's enough out of you."
Holmes wouldn't be stopped though. "Do your friends, the Piner brothers, know that you are a mere stockbroker's clerk when not acting the role of armed thug? Or are they going by their name of Beddington once again?"
The firearm was cocked. "I said that was enough. There's lots of ships being built in Finland these days - you could hide a body in one of their holds real easy like..." Pycroft motioned towards the trail. "Now get walking..."
--------------------------
Heya folks,
There are, indeed, a lot of ships being built in Finland. Fleets spring up in Helsingfors and Vasa - and an army in Kuopio for good measure. Meanwhile, a fleet of a different colour shows up in Danzing and the boys from Siljan get the train-ride home.
On we go into the Spring of 1907. Deadline for orders will be set for Friday, September 26th (11:59 PM GMT).
Cheers!
