While the boy does whatever it is that he's doing with his notebook, Martha ducks around some of the others to get a look at the crime scene. It's not as if she hasn't seen bodies in bad shape during her residency, so she isn't that bothered by the sight of the corpse. Considering that all of this has been fabricated for some pointless reason, there's even less reason for it to get to her.
What surprises her is that the boy with the notebook is taking this all so well. It's possible that he's also been through a few scenes before this one, but even so... he looks younger than most of the teenage Wonderland residents that she's met. About Henry's age, actually, but other than that, everyone else has been at least a few years older.
Her attention is drawn away from the crime scene when he starts going on about her specialties. "Archaeology and ancient history? I'm not..." Who do they think she is, Indiana Jones? They may share the same last name, but that's about where the similarities end.
However, the others around them don't seem to agree with that. Martha's able to sense it too, and one of the officers looks at her with a frown. "You came highly recommended, Jones. Are we to assume that your superiors made some kind of mistake?"
Martha tenses slightly and shakes her head. She realizes that this is only going to be more painful if they try to resist against it. "No, sorry, just... this is a bit new to me," she admits. She hears a few chuckles and has to fight not to be annoyed by them. She turns back to the boy and shrugs her shoulders. "Let's go, then, Officer... Giles, was it?"
