"Damn," says Jarvis. "Damn. That would be plenty to go on, of course, if we had Sherlock to help. As it is..." A slight pause. "I've notified Tony. He doesn't have any ideas either."

"I mean, I could go wandering around without the leather coat and see if anybody interesting decides to spontaneously volunteer information to me, but I don't know whether that's got a prayer of yielding anything worth knowing."

"It would be much likelier to cause you trouble than to produce any useful results," he says. "At this point I await one of two things: Sherlock coming home with a rousing tale of adventure, or a ransom demand."

"Okay... well, if you want a sack of small unmarked bills without breaking the bank let me know."

"Thank you."
