[ Harold sounds dubious. ]

Do you think that would be effective? I'll handle it.

He’s your second. It wouldn’t matter coming from me.

It really doesn't work that way, [ Harold says with some annoyance. He sounds a little out of breath as he's currently talking and walking. ]

Please keep him in one piece until I get there.

[ He hangs up. ]

[ Of course it does. This insistence on ignoring hierarchy bites at Carver’s soul but he swallows the annoyance down. ]

You want me to sit on him or what? He’s walking off.

[ Oh, god. ]

That won't be necessary.

[ He hangs up again, but goes to send John a text that should come through almost immediately... ]
