Mirum watches the sea while Charlene works quietly at her desk. She stands and stretches after spending time looking over slides through her microscope. "I am losing light, let me take a break." She snacks on cheese and savory biscuits.

"Tea?"

"That would be lovely."

Charlene makes tea, "I know we talked about Kate and the ordeal she has survived." She ignores the tensing up of Mirum's shoulder, "I find your family's reaction … humbling."

"Humbling?"

"I have never met a family quite like yours."

Mirum laughs hard, "That is true. There is nothing like our clan."

"Your generosity, patience and you have created a support network like no other ..."

"Odea has returned?"

Charlene look out to the path, "I do not see her."

"She will be here shortly."

Charlene strains her eyes to look and interrupted by the tea kettle whistle. She makes three cups of tea and hands one to Mirum. She turns to look out the window, someone is coming down the path. "Odea?"

"Yes."

"How did you do that?"

"Training and it helps to have Silurian blood. We can always tell if one of us is nearby." Mirum takes a deep breath, "It also feels empty if I can't sense those I care about nearby."

"Do you smell me?"

"No." Mirum shakes her head while watching the sea, "You do not have a smell."

"That is good?"

"Not bad. But every human I have encountered in school with work all have a unique smell. I am curious as to why you do not."

"Nothing?"

"Well, I do smell your clothing, the soap after you take a shower or when you had curry. But other than that, I can't smell you."

"Interesting." She looks down at her warm bowl of spiced potatoes with gravy.

Odea walks into the door and Charlene beelines holding out her wrists, "Taste me. Tell me what you taste."

Odea puts down her bag and does as Charlene asks, "Did you have something spicy?"

Mirum laughs so hard she almost fell off her seat soon Charlene joins in the laughter.

"What did I miss?" Odea looks lost in their happiness and is jealous.

Mirum grabbed her breath and explains.

Spring 1927
London-South Wales Motorway
Outskirts of Weston-super-Mare

Alaya and Kate pull up a large hill and both jump out of the car Fiat Zero.

"Luckily he was too busy driving fast to notice us following."

Alaya does her best to follow the Bugatti"

"Following him on the country roads we surely will be spotted."

"Head back and we'll prepare for the country next time."

"We will be prepared."

Kate opens the map.

Alaya strains her eyes watching the car disappear in the distance. She marks the last location with a small x.

Kate points, "We should have an automobile here at Red Ball and another Williton. South or West is my guess."

Alaya places a small circle on the two towns. "We will head to Red Ball first to scout out surveillance locations and then to Williton."

They drive south and watching for any sign of the Bugatti.

"I just thought of something." Kate gasps, "What if he drives a different automobile?"

"We will have to stay in Bristol and wait for confirmation from Detective Vastra and Jenny."

"That is a relief." Kate looks around, "I could not imagine living isolated like this, what if there is an emergency?"

They arrive south of Red Ball and scout the location. They find the perfect spot to watch the motorway and head north towards Williton.

"I am getting hungry. I will stop in Williton to get a bite to eat."

Kate opens her pocketbook to see her limited funds.

"You are on company time," Alaya smiles at Kate. "You will be compensated for your time and all expenses are paid."

"In that case, I am also hungry."

The two enter The Mason's Arms - Alaya gets the drinks and puts in order for stew for the two. She sits down with Kate near the window.

"Once we find a good location we will head back to London."

Kate nods and the two discuss options for their next trip. Kate immediately suggested a picnic basket.

While they were eating their stew two men walk into the pub, "That arse with the blue racing car has returned. I have a mind to rip out his engine. He scares me sheep."

Alaya and Kate freeze and go wide-eyed.

Alaya quickly stands, "Gentleman. May I buy your rounds?"

Kate and Alaya, after a few rounds with the gentlemen, they head back to London.

Alaya runs up to the offices telepathically yelling 'turn on your devices' with Kate doing her best to keep up. Alaya swings open the door to her mothers' office and smile to see nothing but socially acceptable humans.

Kate pops up directly behind.

The two stand there taking deep breaths.

"We drove as fast as possible," Kate says each word with each exhale.

Alaya stands, unfolds the map and points, "Cleeve Abbey, Somerset. The car went to Cleeve Abbey, Somerset."

"Are the children there?"

"No," Alaya shakes her head no frustrated.

"Right!" Fiona stands up. "You two better come with me as we get this report typed for Scotland Yard."

"Alaya?" Vastra smiles as her daughter turns around and whispers, "Care to spar after you return Kate to Elms House?"

Alaya looks to her Silurian mother and whispers in return, "Blindfolded?"

Vastra bows, "I like a challenge."

Odea hands Mirum a telegram, "It was waiting for me."

Charlene takes up the position to watch the sea.

Mirum reads the telegram, "We will radio tonight."
