***Recap***
(The mates turn and walk away. John sighs, his entire body radiating 'Oh, here we go again,' but he dutifully follows his friend.)
***Now***
(TAXI. As the trio sit in the back of the cab, Sherlock is looking at the pink phone in frustration.)
Sherlock: Why hasn't he phoned? He's broken his pattern. Why?
(The sound of a text alert notify Nikki of a message that she has just received from a reliable source.)
Nikki: Waterloo Bridge.
John: Where now? The Gallery?
Nikki: In a bit.
John: The Hickman's contemporary art, isn't it? Why have they got hold of an Old Master?
Sherlock: Dunno. Dangerous to jump to conclusions. Need data.
(Nikki has taken Sherlock's notebook from his inside jacket pocket and now writes something on a page before tearing it out and folding a bank note inside it. She puts the paper into her pocket, then a few seconds later calls out to the driver.)
Nikki: Stop!
(The cab pulls over to the side of the road.)
Nikki: Can you wait here. I won't be a moment.
(She gets out, goes to the railings at the edge of the pavement and easily vaults over them.)
John (getting out of the cab along with Sherlock): Nikki ...
(As Nikki walks off, John shakes his head in exasperation, then scrambles over the railings and follows her, Sherlock trusting his mate. Nikki trots up some steps to where a young blonde woman is sitting on a bench under Waterloo Bridge. When Nikki sees the woman she smiles before hugging her, surprising both Sherlock and John.)
Blonde Woman: Hello, sister.
Nikki: Hello, Rebekah
Rebekah: Got your message. What do you need?
Nikki (handing her the piece of paper from her pocket): Here you go - fifty.
Rebekah (smiling at her sister): Thanks.
(Nikki quickly hugs her sister telling her that after she gets the information to meet her at 221B Baker Street before immediately turning and walking away again. John looks at her in bewilderment before turning and following, pointing back towards the girl. Sherlock following his mate, not asking questions as of yet.)
John: What are you doing?
Nikki: Investing.
(John looks back to where the girl was standing moments before only to see that she was gone. Nikki goes to the railings and easily leaps over them again. Sherlock opens the rear door of the cab allowing Nikki to get in first before he and John follow.)
