[Okay, just biting her lip and ignoring that comment. Be patient Joan, the Snoop Dogg song is almost over and you don't have to drag this meeting out if you don't want to.

God, she hopes it won't drag out. ANYWAYS, she does catch onto his meaning especially since she took a look at the photos herself.]

The facial structure does suggest heavy botox use, but seeing as how she's "flat" I suppose that was one part of her body she didn't feel the need to compromise if she was working for you in the past. Any names at the top of your head?

Ehhh, they all go by aliases. You know the type: Destiny, Stardust, Glitter... I do have employee files but those are confidential. Can't exactly violate their privacy and have you go through them.

[And yes, he's saying this while surrounded by his girls. Ain't he a charmer?]

Stardust?

[It takes a second for her to realize why that name sounds familiar, but the memory resurfaces; crazy strobe lights, Sherlock chained to a chair, two dancers cutting the performance short in order to attempt home robbery, and the police bursting in while Sherlock decided to keep the fuzzy handcuffs.

The strippers that made a chain of robberies and getting caught did make news after that.]

Oh. So that's who she was.

Got something? Impressive.

Coincidental, but unrelated.

Back to botox lady. Would it be manageable to direct me to clinics your employees usually go to? I need to narrow down my searches.

[And avoid giving him visits, but that much goes unsaid.]

Why don't you ask the girls? They can share a few business cards with you. Might help with your wrinkles, too.

[IGNORING THAT.]

Alright then. I used to work in the medical field so knowing about these clinics will be a great help especially if the practitioner isn't being cautious.

[Joan points to various features of the woman in her photos]

The victim of the crime I'm investigating described the woman as having a hoarse voice, and parts of her skin was red which indicates rashes; one of the many side effects of botox or onabotulinumtoxinA. Hopefully no one's been experiencing those here?

I'd take them out of rotation asap if they were. Can't have my customers seeing them and suspecting that they're carrying anything infectious. You know how it is. Good business practices.

[She feigns a smile.]

Of course. Not that they should be going to questionable clinics in the first place, but your business, not mine.

True. Will there be anything else? Body shots? Lap dance?

[And curtly:]

I'm not Sherlock. I'll forward a call from him to you if he needs anything else.

Whatever you say, honey.
