Mr Johnsson looked at his guest, contemplating how much he could tell them. "There has been some testing by my agents, but I have yet to receive the report what they did and what the results are. We heard about certain herbs that could influence her, but we're still in the testing stages at this point." He paused as he opened a drawer.
