Oh! Back here again, are we? [She smiles.] Well, not that I mind. To be honest, it was getting a bit lonely up there inside your head - I mean, when it's not cluttered with your exams and everything!

But yes, I've missed talking to people too, so let's have some fun again?

[She presses her lips together in thought, glancing between his pleading eyes and her coffee cup. What he's asking...it's incredibly risky. It's her license on the line, her livelihood.

Her hands rest on the table surface, fingers lightly curled. She looks around them briefly, as if she's suddenly worried about being overheard. Her voice drops to a lower tone, perhaps out of paranoia, or simply seeing too many films.] It'll..it'll be protecting him, yeah? Saving his life?

..W-What about the parents? I mean, will they- Er, would they know?

[Molly bites her lip gently in thought. The risks, the risks were so great - a little boy's life versus her job....But it was her livelihood! ..But he's lost his mum, his dad's all he's got left...

She took a deep and slowly exhaled.] And is this just between you and me? I mean...it doesn't sound like this is sanctioned by the Yard...

[He nods. This is one request that, while logical, is among the most difficult he's ever had to make. It's not easy for him.] Individuals who shall remain nameless for the moment have agreed to put their signature on certain other documents. The illusion will be complex but the paperwork will be in order. [By which he means, 'no, this is not sanctioned by the Yard but yes, certain Yarders know about it.']
