Sherlock arrived at Baron’s bank, entering with Rook and Crorie. Rook wore a pair of jeans with a T-shirt and an unzipped jacket. In his left hand, there was a long sword, which was equal in height to its user.

Rook’s sister, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. Instead, Crorie had a skirt and a button up shirt, with a black suit. Completing her outfit, Crorie had a small top hat (which was suspiciously similar to the one Arsene wore). She carried an umbrella in her left hand, while the other held her war fan.

Baron, anxious, noticed the three. “Hello Sherlock, I was waiting for you.”

“Please,” Sherlock interrupted, “Cease the idle chatter. Show me the calling card Arsene sent.”
Instead of complying, the annoying Baron said. “I’m sorry, but the letter is no longer in my possession.”

Cursing under his breath, Sherlock demandingly asked. “Tell me what items Arsene is targeting, if your brain dead mind can remember it, sir.”

Sherlock knew fully well that Baron was hiding something, but this could be his chance to catch Arsene. He could care less about what valuable treasures Baron may have, as long as he could get his hands on Arsene.

Dealing away with worthless conversation, Baron got to the point. “Arsene has threatened to rob me, if I do not send the desired treasures to him. He had chosen the most costly and valued ones. I lose confidence in my security, simply because of who the thief is.”

“What was he after?” Sherlock asked.

Baron listed objects which many considered to be of immeasurable value. Half of it probably already stolen goods, perhaps smuggled or illegally purchased.

“I hope you understand my worries,” Baron went on and on, “Investors are coming today, so it would be embarrassing if Arsene were to walk in here and steal as he pleases.”

Nodding with understanding, Sherlock added. “I get that. Don’t worry, I’ll catch him.”

There was an almost reassuring pause, until a sound of laughter could be heard. It was coming from upstairs, at the second floor. On the roof, a huge image of an Ace of Diamonds was projected, along with a message.

Dear Baron and Co.
First of all, Sherlock, you should know that the first letter I sent to the Baron mentioned all his illegal deeds, including smuggling gold, precious paintings, ancient relics, along with many other items. The list of crimes he has committed could go on and on.
Now back to business. I do not see my demands being met, hence I will carry out my threat. Sherlock and his friends have three hours to catch me. After three hours, all treasures will be removed from the bank.
With honesty, Arsene Lupin.

The projector shut off, with the insane cackling. Arsene was on the move. Sherlock would have to hurry.

As Sherlock planned his next move, the door opened.

“Pardon me,” Baron said, “That’s my meeting. The security has been raised, but my men shouldn’t bother you. I hear they had to call a repairman, but he is not here yet.”

Baron then left, going upstairs to his office. Sighing, Sherlock gave his orders. “Rook, preform some recon on the gallery. Crorie, trace that projector if you can. I’m going to check the cameras.”
