I wrote this as a birthday present for Eva, who asked for the boys to have an accidental date somewhere that neither of them would normally be found in. Go with your first instinct, right?
So Greg Lestrade is in this strip club, right, and Mycroft has to go in and find him for a perfectly reasonable reason...
