Mahendra was not eager to hide away the possible piece of evidence they had just found, in that he understood it was the local police he was to hide it from. But instead of him making that case, Vera did as she and Neem argued about the matter before Neema promptly pulled up her skirt. Mahendra again looked away, but the attention given to Neema did eventually pull him in, giving him the sight of the mark on her. It sent shivers down his spine, as well as the scorpion on the red silk cloth. 

Now without second thought, Mahendra took back the red silk and quickly tucked it underneath his shirt, hiding it from the police as they just came down into the archives. The scorpion in the Egyptian context was connected to Serket, goddess of such things as fertility, nature, medicine and more, which gave him even the more nagging feeling when connected with the possible murder of Haakon. If there was a connection at all, he could be wrong. Not that he told the police any of that. 

As he was questioned, Mahendra put on a mask of politeness and cooperativeness, answering the questions as best he could without giving too much information - he presumed - they weren't supposed to know, like the red silk. Eventually they were done with him, and Mahendra thanked them back for their help. And then he followed Vera's suggestion, making his way up to her office alongside Lauren.
