The reporter still hadn't responded, and he was already growing angry. If they only knew how much power he wielded they would have replied instantly. He could have mentioned it, but he knew people rarely believed the depths of a threat. Human nature seemed to see a threat as a challenge, and Mycroft had soon learnt that there were better ways to get someone to understand they had no choice but to cooperate. It didn't help that with this task he couldn't allow the reporter to test him. The information needed to be stopped or the Scottish Referendum would swing the wrong way. While he waited, he responded to the many emails and messages his secretary had forwarded on to him. He gave his input and opinion on every area of UK government, from the appointment of staff to new laws and even things like road closures in London. Sometimes he wasn't listened to, but he couldn't make every imbecile with some power see sense. He didn't have the time or the inclination. As long as the usual area of London was kept sane and safe, and the country continued in roughly the right direction, he didn't interfere too much.
