Over spring break my friend went to England. I sent her off with a very important and mischievous task in mind. Languishing at home, sick with a rather depressing stomach flu, I kept myself entertained by sending my victim ambiguous and ominous messages on Facebook (which apparently seriously freaked him out). When my friend got back I sent him the details of how to find the treasure.

My victim is: GYØ BEN.

The way it works is this: I have given my friend a letter. When in England she will give that letter to someone (most likely a stranger) who will then in turn give the letter to someone else. This will keep happening. On my friends return she will be able to tell me who she gave it to and then I can let my victim know. He will follow the trail of people to where the letter is. Dig it up, as it were. I've put a limit on the number, because this might involve a lot of travel and expense on the part of this victim and I don't want to put him through too much.

My friend is a little bit shy, so it's turned out to be a bit harder for our wonderful Ben. It's in a museum, which he must pay to get into, but it is in the Sherlock Holmes museum, which in interesting and the littlest bit ironic! It'll be easy to find too, I hoe, since it is actually on Baker's Street. The first person Ben must find works here (in the gift shop as far as I can tell) and has dark brown hair. It is a woman. He'll be able to find her by offering up to anyone and everyone the name "draggles", until someone recognizes it. Let's hope this works.

Failing so far. No one at the museum knew what Ben was talking about. The trail stops cold.


Ben, if you're reading this, it's means I've contacted you. I wish you the best of luck!


AFTERWORDS:

Ben turned out to be unable to find the lady at the Sherlock Holmes museum (could he need help from Benedict Cumberbatch?), so the letter appears to be lost to us (except for the photocopies I still retain...)
