Oh, this was utterly delightful! You have all the voices nailed, and you've given new meaning to 'the game is a'foot!' ::grins::

Does Neal get to keep the money his paintings earned? LOL, probably not. Peter would argue they'd have to pay all the expenses associated with capturing the killer.

I loved Neal's explanation that he just 'knew' while Sherlock knew 'why', and that he wouldn't want to be Sherlock for anything.

Thanks so much for a great story!
