Reading it, for a start. See what I can find - see how we can find the Other Harriet. She's been transferred from Holloway, from what I could gather. *She maneuvers her chair towards Sherlock, when a nurse walks in*
Nurse: Excuse me - who are you? Relatives only, this patient needs to rest.
H: I'm... Molly. Molly - Adler.. We're friends. My bed's across the hall.
*She points *
Nurse: So this is where you wandered off to. The Doctors want to talk to you. Were you aware you're six weeks pregnant?
H: Through Gritted teeth Why, is something wrong??
Nurse: We don't think so, no. Although we're going to have to run some more tests. *to Sherlock * Are you the father?

*has been watching in silence until this point*
Most certainly not! We're just...acquaintances. Who happen to have saved one another's life.
*winces again as his blood pressure skyrockets and gives him a nasty headache*
My--my flatmate's sister.

Nurse: Well its lucky that you are acquaintances then. The police want to speak to both of you, by the way - don't worry, they're just investigating the explosion.
*Harry turns ashen white as the nurse scribbles something on Sherlock's chart and leaves Harry waits until she is out of earshot before turning to Sherlock*.
I don't want to talk to the police. I've already given a fake name. They can't know who I am.

Because you're meant to be in prison? I doubt they have an alert system. Besides, I doubt you were paying quite enough attention--no offense, but practically no one ever does. Let me answer the questions since I actually remember what was going on.
*his snarkiness is due primarily to the pain he's in*

And there was me being surprised when John told me he was single. Just be sure to include the bit where I drag you heroically out of the ruins of my house - oh. Oh. ****.
What the hell am I supposed to tell Clara?!

You could always tell her the truth. A novel idea, I know.
*tries to regain a more comfortable position but aggravates his injured spine and sharply inhales*
((OoC: you can RP the policeman since it won't be Lestrade or stuff))

Do you want something for the pain? I've got some minatures in my handbag? There is no pain on earth a gin and tonic can't solve?

Use your head. I'm in a hospital. Besides, if I sit still, I'm fine. And in addition to that, I don't drink. Last night was an accidental exception.
*the policeman enters*

God he's boring
*Harry avoids all eye contact with the policeman, a tall, stern looking man. Slightly balding, very thin with round glasses, he introduces himself as Detective Inspector Senneck. Harry rubs her stomach and winces - she feels sick. *
DI Senneck: Can I confirm that you are Mr Sherlock Holmes, of 221B Baker Street London?

Yes.

*rolls eyes*
Can we just please get to the point?

*Harriet wriggles uncomfortably in her chair. Her stomach is groaning, and the room is swimming.*
DI Senneck: All in good time Mr Holmes. I know you're a bit of an expert when it comes to mystery, but I've got to get all this down for official records.
Can I ask you to tell me, in your own words, exactly what happened at 6 Cheviot Gardens?
(OoC - My grandparent's lived at 6 Cheviot Gardens btw)

Yes, I can tell you. And furthermore, I will.
We went there to acquire some paperwork that my client needed for a job. The bedroom closet was booby trapped and there was a bomb in the attic. I tried to defuse it, but there wasn't enough time, so I decided to protect the young lady who, by the looks of her, could do with some medical attention right about now.

H: I... I think I'm going to be sick. *She vomits spectacularly over DI Senneck's gleaming black shoes, her stomach churning. Senneck steps back abruptly, taking a deep breath to compose himself before he talks.*
DI Senneck: Is she drunk?!

No, but she's pregnant, mildly concussed, and quite possibly poisoned.
*leans over, ignoring the pain in his ribs, but breathing a bit more sharply*
And possibly suffering from any of a number of vitamin deficiencies as apparently she only ate cookies and other party nibbles last night for dinner.
Nurse!
*wince*
Yes, I think our friend here needs to go back to her bed.
*looks back at the policeman*
Continue your line of questioning.

I'm fine Sherlock, really. I'm just... well, like you said. Pregnant. *She grabs a bowl from Sherlock's bedside table and vomits again. She's still shaky, but there's more colour in her cheeks.*
DI Senneck: Does the house belong to you, Miss...?
H: Hooper. Ms Hooper. Yes, it's mine. Or, it was. But don't worry about it - my... my husband's a builder. We'll be right as rain.
DI Senneck: So, Mr Holmes, do you have reason to believe this attack was aimed at yourself?
