Evening Standard Classified Advertisement

Persons with information concerning the averted disaster at Victoria Station are encouraged to contact our editor. Whilst our initial article identified two suspects in the centre of the event, subsequent witness' statements indicate that these two were not perpetrators and that their heroic actions may have saved countless lives. It has also become evident that these two were not alone. We are currently seeking a tall, thin man with aquiline features, a man of average height who uses a cane, six or seven street urchins, and a dog, last seen heading in the direction of Marylebone.

.oOOo.

They only saved a whole bunch of people. It was glorious. Someday the whole story may come out. For now, it will remain in the plot bunny pasture. Thanks!

Thanks for finding this advertisement for us. Love Characters: The usual suspects, and Toby is an excellent touch.

I'm glad you liked this and "The Usual Suspects" was a last minute cracky addition. Thanks!

Hmmm, don't recognise any of these people, can't think how it's related to the fandom! Whoever they are, I'm sure they have their reasons for maintaining discretion. :)

Nobody recognised them. They all wore false moustaches. Even the dog.
*thanks!*

It was the inclusion of Toby, wasn't it?
Thanks!
