Chase frowns at the mention of things growing tense. It's not exactly like what happens at the hospital, as far as he's aware. So many questions get shunted aside, never answered, never addressed. Then again, he thinks, he's never made much of an attempt to get people to change their ways. He doesn't raise any value judgments. Doesn't mention how unnerved he sometimes is by how little anyone seems to care in Darrow.

Maybe that's all the difference.

"Yeah, there's no rush," Chase says, shaking his head and waving lightly. He can continue calling in on his own time, checking to see if her number is back in use, carefully keeping his apartment open in case she wants to step inside. But Chase knows what his gut tells him, and he thinks he knows what this place is, and it doesn't surprise him that Natalia would be one of the first to slip away. "What kind of weird are we talking about, though? Not weird enough for you to stop working there, at least."
