This story ends here joe. :) A codephrase the Thugs used (at least the group that one confessed thug was in) to start their murders was quoted as 'bring the tobacco'.

I will try to keep my next one in the series as entertaining. If not, @ezzy has said he would do the story part in a sort of collaboration between my facts and his fiction. Though, the story will naturally have to be delayed a few days while @ezzy dreams up an incredible tale.
