An upward tug at the corner of her mouth. "Use the sheet for bandages," she says. "I'd hate to have to dispose of this car too just because you bled all over it. One car fire's enough for a day, isn't it?"
Not that she's one to talk right now, but her mind is still pulling at the puzzle of the Chinese woman. Something was familiar and she wasn't certain what. Something about her cry of surprise and pain...
She's speeding along the road, but for the moment there is nobody else on the freeway with them, and she'd like to keep it that way.
The mention of Mycroft Holmes does bring to mind government, London. And the piece that had been tugging at her mind falls into place. "She spoke Cantonese."
