Truth be told, Mary had every intention of eventually going after the cop she'd sent someplace else. She just wasn't going to do it now and certainly wasn't going to mention her plans at all to the Master. No, she decided it was probably easier to simply let him think what she'd done was something she did all the time rather than admit that she felt pretty guilty for having done it the handful of times she had thus far. She had been raised to treat people nicely, the way she wanted to be treated, and she certainly wouldn't want somebody coming along and shoving her into a place where she didn't belong. Which was an awful lot like what the Asaph guy had done when he'd brought her to Colligo, now that she thought about it. But, unlike the being in charge of Colligo, she had sent the cop someplace real nice, that he'd be perfectly safe, until she fetched him.

Shaking her head a bit when the Master seemed to change topics to defend himself against accusations from a kid, she simply fixed him with a look that was similar to the 'I don't believe you at all so you can just stop right now' one that her mother wore every so often. "My daddy says that for every pound of objecting, there's bound to be at least an ounce of truth to it. Otherwise, nobody'd bother objecting in the first place," she said simply, in a matter-of-fact tone. Considering the discussion closed no matter what the Time Lord might have to say about it after that, she turned her attention fully down to the identification card in her hand.

"Hmm." She looked back to the Master. "Stay right there. Don't move," she instructed him before fully turning her back on him. Then she stared straight ahead for a long moment, seeming to really concentrate on nothing more than thin air. Finally she glanced over her shoulder at him with a decisive look on her face.

"I don't know how far it'll get us, but if we want any answers we need to go that way a good bit. The lines get brighter in that direction so whatever the biggest change was, that's where it started," she said decisively. Pausing for a second, brow furrowed in thought, she finally held the badge out for him to take in a sign of trust, even if she wasn't sure she was one hundred percent sure she really felt it just yet.
