[The feed, when it flicks on, doesn't show a face. Instead, a hand, pale and long-fingered, and in it, held almost delicately by the edge, is a photograph. A small square thing, it shows a dark photograph of a bedroom, the edges darker than the centre in the distinctive fashion of photographs taken by a pinhole camera. It seems that the device which took the photo was aimed across the room at one of the surveillance cameras. The most notable feature of the photograph isn't the bedroom or the camera but the white blur that crosses the image, most opaque in the vicinity of the camera itself. The hand holding the photograph brings it closer, lets the communicator's camera travel slowly over it, and then comes the voice, little more than a murmur.]

Only a few minutes' exposure. Twice in as many days; our friends are getting sloppy.

[There's a pause, a slight and apparently unintentional shift in the image, and a rustling of fabric before the voice cuts in again, still soft, rough, and weary.]

So well done. Carry on being a handful.

[Sharon replays the message several times before responding.]

Well done to you, too, sir. Extremely well done.

[She doubts they'll get more than that picture, but she's impressed that this man managed to get it at all. It's better than nothing. And this, along with how they were captured on the feed when kidnapping the boy earlier shows they can make mistakes.]

[Audio; Private]

Mm.

[Which means yes. No, Sherlock's not going to say thank you. He knows it was well done.]

I suppose you and your... organisation will want to have a closer look.

I'd appreciate it. I'm not sure we'd be able to get anything from it, but you never know. Banner's a genius, and the rest of them are no slouches, either.

[Though she has reservations about Logan. But she'll keep those to herself for now.]

Then I expect it will find its way to you. Might happen more quickly if you were to send someone for it, though. What with the wolves, and all.

[Hint. Hint.]

I'll be by for it myself.

[Several minutes later, there's a knock at the door. Sharon has her hair pulled in a ponytail, but several strands have come loose. Her boots are dirty, and her hands, and the knife in her right hand, are covered with blood. Those damn animals are getting friendlier toward her, and she doesn't like it.]
