The longer it takes for Joan to meet him at the cafe they had designated as their rendezvous point, the more worried Malcolm gets. He checks his phone several times, texts Joan, even calls her. Thirty minutes after their meeting time, Malcolm is in a panic. He could call Sherlock, but instead he'd rather go to the Brownstone and check on her. Hopefully she just got caught up in something. Maybe her phone is dead.
Joan gave him a key to the Brownstone a while ago, so Malcolm lets himself in when he gets there. "Joan?" he calls as soon as he steps inside. He hears the footsteps on the stairs and is a little disappointed when he realizes that it's Sherlock. "Oh. Hey. Is Joan here? She was supposed to meet me about 45 minutes ago."
