Ah. Why? You don't, quite frankly, seem the bullyable type. Too intimidating.

*soft chuckle, eyebrow raised at him*
Oh, you think so? Well, to be fair, Jim didn't give me time to fight back. Stepped in before I could do anything.

*raised eyebrow*
And you let him?
*the cab stops, having arrived. Sherlock gets out and walks up to the door and knocks*
*there is enough time for Irene to pay the cab and catch up before a middle-aged man answers the door*
Hello. I used to live here. Just sort of...dropping in to see how things are getting on.
*the man looks at the two of them*
"Oh, you and your wife moved out and up in the world, eh?"
*Sherlock is exasperated and just sort of barges in*

*Irene smiles brightly at the man*
Nice to meet you. Sorry, about him. -
*gestures to where Sherlock disappeared*
- He's a bit... excited.

*standing in the middle of the living room*
You've made some interesting changes. You've painted over the wallpaper. The kitchen is a completely different arrangement. Must have been expensive.
You haven't found anything...out of the ordinary, have you?
*he has lost one of his experiments in the move to Baker Street*

"Like what?"
*the man asks, now a bit wary... Irene gives Sherlock the look of "What the hell are you doing? Oh, I give up. Just go on doing whatever the hell you're doing..."*

I'm a scientist of a sort and work with the police and I'm afraid that when I moved I misplaced a small box. It contained a vital experiment.
Namely the effects of various chemicals on human cardiac tissue.
You really should get that hypertension seen to.
*he shuffles things in the kitchen cabinets trying to find the box, but not really looking too hard as he'd redone that particular experiment and is now really just taking the opportunity to snoop around the life of the man who is living in his old flat*

*Irene gives the man a quick pat on the back*
He's always like that.
"My deepest sympathies..."

Ah!
*he pulls down a wooden box about six inches square and sets it on the table*
*sniff*
It appears to have gone a bit overripe. I'll just...take this off your hands.
*hands the box of decaying heart and chemicals to Irene while he turns around in the room, examining every little change. He's not, really, he's just trying to work out an escape route from Irene*
May I use your loo?

Irene holds the decaying box at arms lenght, really not all that thrilled to be touching it. The man points hesitantly*
"Down the hall... Why, did you hide something in there, too?"

*coughs*
No, I actually have to use the loo for its intended purpose. I haven't been in several hours. I've been...detained.
*strides off, not waiting for permission*

...He's not coming back, is he?
Well! Seems I'm off.
"Wait, but, wh-what about him?"
Oh, he's already halfway out the window. Don't worry about him.

*precisely as Irene has said, he's attempting to get out through the window. Unfortunately, the window is small and he nearly gets stuck. But he's in familiar alleys. He takes off running to the main road*

*She sighs as she gets into the car and texts Sherlock*There's a reason I tried to keep you away from 221b Baker Street, Sherlock. Stay clear until I tell you. Please don't be stubborn and go home anyway.
