Oh, I am loving all these theories! So many intriguing possibilities. I haven’t pinned down any particular theory of my own yet. Whatever is going to happen, it was something that Armand saw subconsciously when looking at that second notebook, that eventually made its way to the surface of his conscious, concussed brain. And it was the stuff of nightmares. Did he see a pattern in the marks on the map and the notations that Charles had made? Was it a geographical pattern? A time-line pattern? Something in the wording? An additional code of some sort? It was something that someone who was studying the water sources could discover, but I don’t know enough about that field to know what he might have learned that would connect the dots. As to the black wolves involved, I suspect that Shona is going to find some scary political conspiracy, and I think there will be Mob connections (pretty sure we aren’t done with those people yet), and I think it may have multi-international connections (especially USA, CA, but as Tara pointed out, there were Russian mercenaries (or were they?) at the water plant, too, and bioweapons have disappeared from both Russia and the US). I don’t think all the black wolves in the Surete or Canadian government have been exposed either, so Armand and the team will have to continue to tread carefully there and wherever else they reach out to. I can see this as being as far-reaching a plot as LP wishes to spread it, and am anxious to read the resolution!
