Flotsam, direct means definition, which in most clues will be at the beginning or end (left or right), so in this case Sherlock is telling us that the answer will mean havoc, or perhaps causing havoc, the earlier part of the clue containing the trickery to get to the answer (here apparently made up of two words each of three letters, probably a word for girl or a girl's name + a word for border) - I hope that helps, and never be afraid to ask or even to have a somewhat wild guess! Of course, now you have made me take a good look at the clue I can see the answer, but I will give you a chance to have a shot.

Looks like I'm a little late to the party. My apologies, hope I didn't cause any mayhem!  Flotsam, that's the correct answer! Here's your belt! ===[**CDM**]===

A touch of the Cheryls: Cosmetic ultimatu m as car appears trapped 
To waste one second of one's life is a betrayal of one's self.

Run into a karate ace fast (7) "fast" is a noun, not an adjective

Could equally well be "martial arts expert"
Think religious festivals that involve a fast...
