Is that why my cameraphone never made it back into government possession?

[improbably_true]

[He pauses, shifting.]

Simply to see if my brother noticed. The fact you're probing into this, is putting you at risk.

[(Anonymous)]

At risk of what, exactly? Very few people believe the dead can talk.

[improbably_true]

The fact that you used your sources to find out this information. It's not safe.

[Deflect the question.]

[(Anonymous)]

[Sounding terribly terribly amused at his deflection.]

What sources? Need I remind you my sources all think I'm thoroughly dead?

[improbably_true]

Whatever your source is that knows I kept that phone of yours. It's a £17,000 phone, useless scrap for the government anyway.

[Still deflecting.]

de-anoning on purpose!

[womanwhobeatyou]

[She sounds pleased. Glad you admit to having it, Sherlock.] It's a £17,000 phone, what use would a consulting detective have for it?

hee hee

[improbably_true]

Science.

I dismantled it - they didn't remove everything…

[womanwhobeatyou]

[So, SO amused. She might just be poking him to see him jump now always] Oh? And what did the finest minds in British government miss that you didn't, Mr. Holmes?

[improbably_true]

They didn't leave the hard drive or the battery, so it was mostly dismantled. Electrical connections, the inside of a phone, what else?

[No he will not admit that he cares.]

[womanwhobeatyou]

[She doesn't expect him to. She has plenty of proof that he does.

But it is incredibly entertaining to watch him squirm, and being in hiding, she doesn't have as many opportunities for this sort of fun. Which is why she still sounds so terribly, terribly amused.

It's definitely not because she cares. or misses messing with him.]

Things you can find off any mobile phone. Certainly no need to keep that one just for electrical components.

[improbably_true]

And I annoy my brother by my appearance of sentiment. Perhaps he feels either a bit of guilt or questions my motives which he wouldn't deign to ask.

[Mostly truth now. Hopefully she doesn't ask any more or he's going to let it slip that he's a sentimental old fool, really.]

[womanwhobeatyou]

So you have a perfectly reasonable answer for everything.

Well, almost everything.

[improbably_true]

[He tilts his chin arrogantly, though he doesn't particularly like the "almost".]

Of course.

[womanwhobeatyou]

But you could have done all of that without ever coming to Karachi.
