I almost let this one go...

I almost did, but then there really wouldn't be much of a resolution to the story.  So here goes.  Baskerville has gone to meet his maker because they aren't called demon dogs for nothing, and well, he was pretty mean to them, so he got what was coming to him.  (You know, I think I'm going to miss those slobbering hounds from heck, truly, I am.)  

On a more positive note, our intrepid investigator finally got something right.  Turns out that Tracy knew all about Shirl's plan, from her joining with Baskerville to her use of the hapless janitor at the bank who accidentally disabled all of that high-tech equipment.  (Well he almost had to figure it out.  Once you involve the lip readers and start turning up the undeniable evidence, it's just too hard to ignore the truth.).  

Bankerman is happy that things can return to normal (at least until the next heist), offering The Golden Handshake Of Friendship to Tracy.  (It's a nice gesture, but it's no reward, and they could really use the money to recoup the losses from that misguided purchase of high-tech gadgets.).  

But wait, there's more!  Before Tracy can cart Shirl off to jail, who should show up but Inspector Moriarty.  (Yeah, the name's not lost on me either)  Turns out she's just some crazy mental patient who escaped from a psychiatric hospital in London.  (This turn of events does not restore my faith in the police department.  I think it's time for all employees to undergo a thorough background check.  Who knows what else is hiding behind a badge.)  

But it's not over yet, folks!  No, it's not.  Now introducing the newest member of our cast (probably never to be heard from again): Lt. Teevo!  Yep, who better to deal with someone named after a literary figure than someone named after a piece of technology (though I do hope that he's more effective than those high-tech gadgets Tracy tried to use).  Sure, he might be prone to make all sorts of suggestions and assumptions that might or might not make sense, but at least the boy is eager to please and always there to help.  We'll just have to wait and see if we ever see him again (or ever see him, for that matter), and so I say hello Teevo (and maybe goodbye).
