How so?

[hawk_shot]

Oh, you know, with the new Mayor hunting dow vigilantes.
It's not making my life any easy.

And then I got shot.
One of your colleagues took care of that.
JSYK, I missed you. He didn't give me any lollipops once we were done.

[mygoodsir]

My god, where were you shot?!

[hawk_shot]

Near the shoulder.

It wasn't fun, but it could have been worse.

[mygoodsir]

If it had hit an artery I would bloody well say so.

Oh, Kate. You deserve your sad, drunk tea.

[hawk_shot]

Well, it didn't. And it didn't fuck my arm, so there's that.

I'm gonna try and take that as a compliment, dr.

[mygoodsir]

I am sorry I wasn't on shift. If it troubles you further, tell me directly. I can look at it unofficially.

Sorry.

You said the mayor is really going through with this silly idea of stopping you and your friends?

[hawk_shot]

Hey, hey, hey.
There's no need to apologize!
Look, the thing is, the Mayor is already hunting us down. It was one of his cops who shot me.

I'm incredibly thankful for what you're offering me. Like, you have no idea how thankful I really am. Not just as a doctor, as a friend.
... But I don't want to get you in trouble.

[mygoodsir]

That's abhorrent!

It is more important to me to help those who are hurt than to obey some silly mayor.

Besides, what will he do? Revoke my medical license? Good luck.

[hawk_shot]

Look, Harry, I can call you Harry, right?
That's the thing.
I don't know. We don't know what he might do.

I don't want you getting hurt.

[mygoodsir]

Of course.

Oh, bollocks to that, Kate. Part of the reason he can target you and your friends is that you are anonymous, yes? It might be very difficult for you to, say, get a lawyer. I have no such restrictions. And I can get a very good lawyer indeed.

[hawk_shot]

Harry, you're not getting it. A vigilante was shot in the head. They're breaking into people's places. It's not the kinda thing you can solve with a good lawyer.

[mygoodsir]

Miss Bishop, they are not going to shoot me in the head.

Do you have a safe place to hide if your home is compromised?

[hawk_shot]

...
It's Kate, Harry.

Yeah. Me and my friends, we keep moving. Watching each others backs.
There's safe houses.

[mygoodsir]

Kate.

I am sending you my home address. If you or anyone else is in immediate need of help, and you cannot risk the ER, you may come here. I've only basic supplies, and you might have to be attended to on the couch, but it's something.

[hawk_shot]

Thank you.

It really means the world to me. And I'll probably take up on your offer earlier than we both expect it.

Things are tough, but people like you make a huge difference.

[mygoodsir]

It is the decent thing to do.

The fact that you are technically breaking the law makes it all a bit sticky, but the police enforcement seems extremely suspect. But I am hardly an expert on the American justice system. I will make some calls.

[hawk_shot]

It's still more than just a favor. You're getting involved now.

The law doesn't seem to be something that worries them right now.
Not when they still have the support of half of the city.

[mygoodsir]

How could I not?

I don't know that I can do anything to help in that regard, but I have an old friend who possesses resources I do not.
