He's also a little grateful Harold is taking this seriously. Now that he's sharing an apartment with Laura he'd rather not have any tests done there, she doesn't need to be exposed to that, and the only other place that would be appropriate would be the hospital. Which... he'd be less than enthused to go with. Strangely, that Harold is offering up his living quarters when he's an intensely private person makes him feel a little better.]

Wow, thanks. I appreciate it. Being shot once in my life was more than enough, so I'm not looking to have it happen again. [Ha ha, he's funny. But seriously - ] I'd prefer if John wasn't there when we were running tests. Especially if I need to turn my choker off at any point.
