You joke, but I do wonder if some part of it isn't psychosomatic. He's the reason I can walk without a cane.
It's a little weird to explain--it doesn't really make much sense. But he just sort of made me forget about it.
I'd been having trouble with my leg since I'd gotten back from the front lines in Afghanistan. Just one of those things. I'd been dealing with it for months--physical therapy, proper therapy--nothing was really working. Anyway, it was our first case together a few days after I'd met him and we'd moved into a flat together. We were at a restaurant on a stakeout watching for this bloke who was killing people with poisoned pills and making them look like suicides.
We weren't seeing anything, and then Sherlock spotted a suspicious cab that had been idling by the corner for much too long. He jumped up to go investigate, and we'd been sitting for hours. I wasn't really thinking about it when I got up to go after him. Accidentally left my cane behind while we chased a cab around central London, on-foot. It was one of the most ridiculous and exciting things I'd ever done in my life!
Ended up being a bust on the cab at the time. We figured out it was just some tourist riding in the back. When we got back to the flat, Angelo, the bloke who ran the restaurant, came by to drop off my cane. Sherlock had texted him to bring it over for me.
I haven't had to use it since.

Oh, right! What is it? And are you interested in being a donor?
Still, thank you for letting me know, Mr. Undertaker. Have you been experiencing any symptoms of MN poisoning that you know of, yet?
Yeah, but do keep an eye on it, though. Pain is one of the symptoms of MN Poisoning, and it can start off with just standard sorts of aches from what I know of it.
There's not really a hard 'start' point. I've been here for two and half months and haven't gotten sick with MN Poisoning. Others who have been here less time are suffering far too much.
[His mind is on Alfie, in particular.]
It's just something to be vigilant about, Mr. Undertaker. Are you traveling with anyone else? It helps to have someone with you, in case it does start to kick in. And just in general in case you run into an anomaly.

Curious. I wonder...
[He doesn't actually finish that statement, but he is thinking. If they all arrive with the same nanomachines, then there must be some other cause of the sickness. He can't rule out simple biology, but it's still suspicious.]
No, I'm still alone. Traveling with others is a bit bothersome.

Or you're just getting lucky. It took an age for me to run into my first, but I was very grateful I had other people with me when I did.
Then you'll just have to leave off naming it Fiona.
[John's not big on superstition, but he's not going to downplay it for Alfie.]
I'm sure Emily will understand.

Right.
There's one other thing I think I should probably mention. Be careful around Zane Taylor. I can't really give you details, and he's making himself useful, but just keep an eye on him if you happen to run into him. He's with me and Sherlock for now. Not sure how long that's lasting. Sherlock thinks he'll be useful.
[The tone of the writing might indicate that John isn't terribly happy with that decision, even if he's going along and dealing with it.]

[You're going to need to twist his arm a little more than that, Alfie.]
Sherlock asked me to keep the details under my hat.
[Implicitly.]

[That's low, Alfie. Also effective. John bites his lip, glancing over at where Sherlock's lurking in the pharmacy.]
Dr. Suresh wasn't killed by an anomaly. He was murdered. You remember when Dr. Suresh first arrived and was talking about a dangerous man named Patient Zero? I think that's Mr. Taylor. He's a serial killer in his world. Sherlock doesn't think he'll kill again without a reason. Just make sure you don't do anything to give him a reason. I'm keeping an eye on him to make sure he doesn't try anything for now, at least.
