Maintaining his cover was growing more and more difficult. As the assistant to Hadad, would he have used the "cure"? Getting rid of the distraction was his drive as an agent, not an assistant. Not only was there a chance it was something harmful, but trading the erection for leaking? That didn't seem like a beneficial trade off. The insistence that it wasn't addictive made him hesitate further. That was a claim he certainly didn't trust.

He managed to let the doubt settle into his face as he made his choice. As an assistant, he would follow Hadad's first wish that he wait it out. Loyalty was supposed to be the focus there. With great effort he pulled the needle away from his arm and held it back toward Hadad.

"You're right, I should just...wait it out. It's just...frustrating." He managed a rather embarrassed half smile. As if talking about dick problems with his boss as the worst part of his day.
