You are detective Jack Parker, a man who still believes in good old investigating, like in mystery novels.  Your firm hasn't gotten much work in sometime, besides missing animal cases.  It was because of this, that you decided to go off and visit your friend/ex-girlfriend Trisha Song.

Upon arrival, and after a slight puzzle, you made your way in and began to play a bit of a prank.  This ended horribly, for, after you finished, a unknown person threw a message connected to a brick through the window.  It demanded a gem in exchange for a precious item of Trisha's they are holding hostage.  Trisha is worried and now she has elected you to the case.

The clues you know are as follows.

-The gem, known as the Heart of Africa, is a priceless donation to Trisha's museum.  It's value would make it a very expensive item on any market.

-There are no leads on who the criminal in question is, but they do seem to know Trisha's occupation, were she lives, and about an item of importance to her.

-Trisha seems unaware what was taken.  It would seem to not be something within her home.  This would mean that this item of importance is something from elsewhere.  Trisha believes it could be a museum piece.

-The museum is very secure, but there may be other stores the thief could hit, such as the art gallery or the town hall.  Some stores downtown may be targets, but with the large number, that may not be the best place to look.

You are now left to your instincts.  You have some time today to collect more information.  Using the three locations in question: Museum, Art Gallery, and Town hall, you could find a better lead.  You have your basis, so now we just need to find somewhere to start.
