"You might have something there",is it means"There might be a point in what you say."?


And,"What I found made me do some scouting---across at police headquarters where they know me too."

here,"across at police headquarters where they know me too."is it an inverted order?How to chang it into natural order?

Thanks

1. Yes, that's the meaning.

2. Without a little more context, it's hard to say exactly, but my guess is that the entire phrase after the dash is just an explanation where the speaker did his or her scouting (research, investigation).

The dash may indicate that it's a little surprising that he or she would need to do the research there. Is he or she looking for clues to solve a crime?

Anyway, that's my guess.
