"Hello.

You've reached the direct line of Doctor Frederick Chilton. As I am not available at the moment, you might assume I'm quite busy with something pressing. State your name and business, and I will return your call."

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

Four o'clock on Thursday. [ Repeated, with the scratch of a pencil behind her words. She doesn't think she's had any lapses of memory in many months, but if they have merely gotten more subtle, she'd rather not risk forgetting this. ] Alright. Thank you again, for this. I really appreciate it.

Of course, Ruka. I'll see you then.

I can't think of anything at the moment. Though...thank you.

Another time, perhaps. But you should still drop by the pub for that drink at the very elast.

[ Probably should have stuck to text. Gil sounds tired and downcast. ]

Ah... good evening, Dr. Chilton. [ A pause. ] This may seem a little of the blue so I apologize. We haven't spoken before, though from what I understand you're a friend of Kenzi's. My name is Gilbert.

... I'm sorry to tell you that she's been ported out. It's been a few days already, so... [ He'll cut himself off from voicing his disappointment. ] I thought you should know.

[ Awkwardly hanging up. ]

Dr. Chilton? I'm Captain Levi. We haven't been introduced, but an Erwin Smith asked that I speak with you.

[ good thing this was over text messaging so you don't have to hear how dubious he is ]

-- Gilbert? Hello, Gilbert?

Hello, Captain Levi. I'm pleased that Mr. Smith could give you a referral. How might I be of help?

You tell me. Both Smith and my department chief were insistent I speak with you.

Would it be presumptuous to guess that you are from the same original environment as Erwin Smith? If you are, I imagine we might consider setting up a preliminary appointment. With your consent, of course.

Yes, but you're not wrong; he is still technically my commander.

Would it be presumptuous to guess you have an office?

I do have an office, and I can schedule you a sessional time now, if you'd like. Downtown Heropa, the Second Chances Psychiatric Rehabilitation Center. My practice is tangential to the building itself, I was courted as a psychiatrist for recovering addictions here, despite my specialty.

[ Text messaging spared Chilton the swearing and grousing over what Levi thought to be a bullshit situation he had no business putting himself in. ]

After I fly back from Miami. That weekend, evening?

[ He picks up on the last ring and it sounds like he's having a bit of a hard time answering. ]

Would you ―

Get off! Shoo!

[ Clearing his throat loudly: ]

Hello?

What -- what did you say about Kenzi? Where is she?

Dr. Chilton. [ Oh, he hadn't expected that. Immediately, his voice lowers. ] Kenzi was ported out. I haven't seen her in some days and her communicator is not accepting messages.
