His order was met with an instant jump to action; the quicker he finds what he needs, the sooner they can leave. “One of the nicer ones? Your brother pretty much runs our government, can’t you make sure I do not go to prison at all for this?” If this was the gratitude she’d receive for helping out — a promise to make her possible incarceration comfortable — this might be the last time she willingly assists in one of the cases. And so to cut it as short as possible, Molly works her way through the kitchen, checking any cupboard, counter or a drawer for any possible leads, making sure to leave everything as she found it. If Sherlock’s not going to ensure her freedom in case they get caught, she’s going to have to do it herself, and step one is exactly as he implied; leave no evidence.
"I wouldn't be too ashamed of it, there are plenty of people who tried it, failed, and ended up in Pentonville so I think you're already a far more successful criminal than them." Sherlock's tone is faintly playful - Probably not the most appropriate time to be making jokes but then again trespassing does wonders for putting him in good spirits. He sweeps into the flat as the door is opened, adjusting his gloves as he does so. "Oh, don't worry about him. Watson is following him and will alert us to any change in movement. However, all going well we have at least an hour." He moves towards the coffee table, leaning over to rifle through the magazine selection. "I'm looking for anything suspicious. In particular keys, photos, or even a code. Anything to link him back to the storage unit." He flicks through an issue of Playboy, brow lifting before tossing it to the side. "You start in the kitchen. Don't move anything around too much, make sure you keep the gloves on." Eyes glance to her, holding her in his gaze for a moment. "Don't look so nervous, Ms Hooper - If we get caught I'll ensure that you get placed in one of the nicer prisons."
