[Text/Location: Stark Tower] The fox and the hounds
Sherlock ignores his tablet for about sixty minutes of his initial text asking for a count of the theft victims, and for a short while it seems he's forgotten about it. However, another text message arrives in the inboxes of the listed individuals, locked to them.
To: Tony Stark, Madelyne Pryor, Scott Summers, Paul Smecker, Buffy Summers, Logan, Gwen Raiden
I know who's stolen from you. I'll know where they've hidden your belongings soon enough. Sooner if you let me onto your property to look. Ms Raiden is welcome to come as well, despite her dishonesty.
I am collecting samples at Stark Tower.
Hide your locations if you haven't already.
He also sends a private, locked, and shorter message to Selina Kyle:
Stealing from me is an amusement. Stealing from Mr Summers poses a hazard to the lives of everyone in this city. Return the belongings to the Sanctuary and we will not have to play this game, Ms Kyle.
Anyone who chooses to join him at Stark Tower can find him there retracing a set of phantom footprints with careful footsteps. He's chosen Tony's home not because he hasn't started the trail yet -- he's already traced a preliminary one through each of the locations, and drawn his first conclusions -- but because it's a logical place to which to return to gather a party. He's telling the truth; there's only so much he can learn without access to the direct scene of the crime, and besides, he likes a hunting party. He is, above all else, a hunter, and it's been an honest while since he's had challenging game.
