Joan is out of bed and grabbing her clothes. "I'll be there in ten minutes," she says.
Joan hangs up the phone, throws clothes on, and rushes out the door. Sherlock is still asleep, so Joan sends him a text for when he wakes up, telling him Ted is missing and she's looking for him.
In the cab on the way to Ted's apartment, Joan calls Scotland Yard to ask for their help. To her dismay, the people she talks to are completely dismissive.
"Maybe he just took off and didn't tell anybody."
"He wouldn't do that."
"Who knows with these yanks? Besides, he can't be officially declared missing until he's been gone for 24 hours."
"It's been longer than that already. No one has seen him since Saturday."
"Just because they didn't see him doesn't mean he's missing."
Joan ended the call with a string of obscenities that had the cabby looking at her in the rear view mirror.
She gets to the apartment a little before coach Beard. She doesn't have a key, so she looks around, then takes her lockpicks out of her pocket. When Beard arrives, he finds her crouched at the door, picking the lock.
