[The voice is similar to Carter's, but older, rougher, and even more East Ender. That he's switched the communicator on at all is blind luck.]
—got an investigation to get back to! Who's in charge here, I'd like to know?
[Say hello to Carter's flood replacement, Inspector Fred Abberline. He was the fellow who headed up the Jack the Ripper investigation back in the day (and was played by Michael Caine in a 1988 TV movie). He's taken from shortly before Mary Jeanette Kelly's murder, in early November 1888.]

...Sally. Please, call me Sally. [Primping and posing while trying to seem demure, and have some cleavage, Abberline. She knows you want it.]
Scotland Yard? You're a little far from home, aren't you? Nice to meet you. So what are you investigating, if you don't mind my asking? ...I do a little of that myself sometimes.

Murder, miss. Some ladies come to an end they didn't deserve.
[His brain has more or less filtered out the "I do a little of that", because that simply doesn't fit into his mental paradigm. At all.]
[visual]
She pulls a face and looks appropriately distraught when he mentions murder, though; okay, that's not really her forte.]
Well that's horrible! I hope you find the man responsible. Although, when anyone's murdered can you really say they deserved it?

[A dismissive handwave and an amused smile.]
Oh, there's no need to be so stiff, Investigator, like I told you, Sally works just fine; I work with a bunch of overgrown boys for a living, I promise not to tell anyone if you relax your manners just a little.

...What is it you do for a living, miss?

[All the chagrined, although come on. She's in the papers, how don't you know this? And unlike most of them she makes NO attempt to conceal her identity. At all.]
Re: [visual]
[It sounds like the nickname for a tart, except it's not one he's ever heard. Of course, she sounds American, so maybe she's, ahem, "famous" in New York or something.]

I'm a crime-fighter. A "costumed adventurer," I think is how one of my friends puts it. We all have different names we use when we're on-duty, and that's mine.
[Please, she doesn't do that anymore.]

[...And the helping too. It's not all about the fame and popularity. Really. ...Only mostly.]

...I'm sorry, I don't mean to laugh, but here I was thinking most people thought it was a boy's game! Two of us are girls, the rest are all men.
