[Sherlock and John encounter Raz, a graffiti artist, spray-painting a doorway]
Part of my new exhibition.
Interesting.
I call it Urban, uh, Bloodlust Frenzy. [sprays away]
Mm. Catchy.
I've got two minutes before a community support officer comes round that corner. Can we maybe talk whilst I'm working? [Sherlock hands Raz his phone and he scrolls through photos of the ciphers from the bank. Raz hands John his spray paint can]
Know the author?
Recognise the paint. Looks like Michigan, hardcore propellant. I'd say zinc.
And what about the symbols? Do you recognize them?
It's not a tag. I'm not even sure it's a proper language.

This is all you got? Not much to go on.

I'll ask around.

Bit of an enthusiast, are we?
