It was clear that they needed to act fast to prevent Henry from carrying out his plans and infiltrating the operation. They needed insider information but first, they need to stop the heist that would be conducted in the upcoming days.
Enola suggested that they split up again to cover more ground, with Sherlock and Y/N going to the jewelry store to gather more information about Henry's plan, Tewksbury keeping an eye on the safe house to make sure Charlie stayed safe, and Enola investigating the connections between Henry and the other criminal gangs to confirm if they are working together. To kill two birds with one stone.
Sherlock and Y/N arrived at the jewelry store and pretended to be a married couple searching for an "eye-catching piece", trying to gather information about the upcoming heist. They were able to overhear Henry and his gang discussing their plans, including the location of the safe and the timing of the robbery. "Lovely time of 9 pm yes? Possibly a Saturday night? It would be perfect while everyone is too focused on the Enchanted Masquerade ball hosted by Lord Sebastian Edward Henry Fitzroy. We get the diamond of the season. It's set then." Sherlock discreetly took quick sketches and notes, while Y/N tried to remember as much information as she could.
Meanwhile, Tewksbury watched over Charlie, making sure he was safe and keeping an eye out for any suspicious activity. He was relieved when the night passed without incident, but he knew that they needed to stay alert in case Henry's gang came looking for Charlie.
Enola was able to gather more information about Henry's connections with other criminal gangs, including the Black Rose Syndicate and the Iron Circle. She was also able to track down one of Henry's associates, who revealed the location of the gang's hideout. Enola knew that they needed to move quickly before it was too late. Enola was even able to find the key phrases of entry; "The razor's edge cuts both ways". This phrase serves as a reminder to both the gang's members and outsiders that their chosen weapon, the razor blade, can be just as dangerous to them as it is to their enemies. To gain entry to the operation, a potential member would need to provide a specific keyphrase or code word that changes regularly and is known only to current members. This key phrase or code word is designed to ensure that only trusted individuals are allowed into the gang and to prevent infiltration by the authorities or rival gangs. The current key phrase or code word might be something like "The blackwood tree is strong" for entry in the day, or "The shadow cuts deepest at night" for entry at night.
The four of them reconvened at Sherlock's flat to share what they had learned. Enola showed them the photos and notes she had taken at the jewelry store, while Tewksbury reported that Charlie was safe but still in hiding. Sherlock shared his findings about Henry's connections with other gangs and the location of their hideout. They knew that they needed to act fast if they wanted to stop Henry and his gang from carrying out their plans.
