Jessica took Harry into an exam room and during their conversation, Harry told Jane that he was a good friend of Glen’s. He asked Jane why Glenn was seeing the doctor. Jane answered that it was just for a routine test for AIDS When Harry arrived back home, he called Glenn and told him what Jane had said.
