He scarcely noticed the yelps of dismay--some of them more tired and annoyed tham others--and the fact that the aisles behind him had cleared out completely. He suddenly wanted to try everything he could get his hands on--wonder if they had a security system, did they have CCTV here, or perhaps he could hack into other people's various devices--hang on, was John saying something?]

[Was he talking? Something about a base? Heropa? Oh right, the transport. Sometimes it felt like the detective used his abilities of deduction to piece together ignored conversations half the time more than using them for crime.]

Right. I'll just wait here then.
