No New Leads

It’s a dead end Captain.

We’ve crossed all the PSSO’s, we’ve double checked the S1,K2Tog,PSSO. It doesn’t lead anywhere.

The map is either a forgery or incomplete. We’re stymied. Without the rest of the map we’re never going to get to the bottom of this.

There are threats coming over the wires of knitters being held hostage. We don't know by whom.

Our last hope is, quite frankly, one I'd rather not have … Ret'd. Captain J. Spairrow.

if Spairrow can be roused …

god help us.

Somewhere in an undisclosed hideout;

“They got Blue Louie!
    They’re on to us Sunshine!   That Alpacaaddict musta been a stoolie!  This town’s too hot for us now!
    Nyyaaaaaaaaaa!   See!?  You’ll never take me alive, Blockers!  I’ll rip you all out!  See? 
    Get in the car Sunshine and keep your chart low,  we’re makin’ a run for it!  This ain’t no Clapotis!”

Meanwhile, back at the precinct;
    We’ve got our top forensic expert working on this.  One of our sources leaked a coded map to us. Once we break the code we think that map will lead us to the master mind behind all of this.

And out on the Coast;
    Get Back!  Oh, my god, Get Back!  Those sticthes are live!  They could go off at any moment! Noooooooooooooooooooo!

People's Evidence

We present Exhibit A, your Honor.  People’s Evidence #1.

.

The Addi’s were still warm when we found them Your Honor.  The hi-lighter on the chart still wet.  The perpetrator couldn’t have been more than a few rows ahead of us.  There seems to be a serial criminal working serially here.   The victims appear totally unrelated except they were both at the wrong S1,K1,PSSO at the wrong time.

The terrifying thing is your Honor, the threat to society that this is your Honor is we’ve just had a call from our west coast desk, they have an identical situation out there.  And one in Fairbanks.  And Fargo.   Interpol is casting about all across the continent trying to get a sense of how far this thing has spread.  We just don’t know.  It’s out of control.  We seek to apprehend and expect to indict, your Honor.

It’s a mystery.

CSI - MS3

Just the facts Ma'am.  Please.

I didn't hear a thing.  They're usually so quiet.  How was I to know?

Ma'am, did you notice anything unusual in the past few days?  Any odd packages in the mail?  Any strange cars?  Increase in the number of visitors to the web site?

No.  It's summer.  Everybody's doing their own thing.  Tell me officer, is it true?  Are there TWO of them?

Funny you should mention that Ma'am.  Strange.  I'm not allowed to discuss the investigation.

  Just a few more questions though if you don't mind.

Have you noticed any of your Lorna's Laces missing?

Can you account for all of your 3.5 mm needles?

Does the name Anne Schaeffer mean anything to you?

Where were you on the night of Friday the 13th?

Is PinkLemonTwist a code name you are familiar with?

Who else do you see there?

Are you now, or have you ever been … a knitter?"

Now Ma'am, no crying.  We don't fall for that sort of stuff.  You'll have to come downtown with us.

MI - MS3

So, … do we think Tom Cruise knits?
Charts schmartz, what you want is evidence?  Whadda you, from CSI (Craft Scene Investigation)?  When we have the body you will get your evidence.  I will see you in court.
And who is Mother?
