Sherlock shook his head. "It's too risky."

Joan applied lipstick, ignoring him. "You think I won't be convincing?"

"I think you'll be too convincing. There are other people besides Greenlee with a fetish for Asian women."

"I am well aware of that," Joan replied tightly.

Sherlock paused, then persisted. "Then you know what you'll be in for. Doesn't it offend you to play into the exotic Asian stereotype?"

"What Greenlee did to the last callgirl offends me more." Joan turned from the mirror, hands on booty-shorts-clad hips. "I will do whatever I have to make sure we get him tonight."
