"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."

What woman would that be?

[Chilton asked, genuinely confused. He was a man who, upon sheer majestic circumstance, had more a history of girlfriends than friends who were women -- at least, when outside of Baltimore. He had female patients, yes, and that sometimes overlapped with friends; April, for example. He had female acquaintances, like Bela, though he didn't talk shop with her. And then, professionally --]

The Major General. I forgot she was a woman, but that is an accurate summary. Yes, well, don't ever disparage me before someone I work with, and I won't bring up your name in such a manner.

-- Where are you, exactly? [No promises on canceling.]

hahaha oh my god chilton.

[ Leave it to Chilton to be insulting here. But Walt couldn't truly appreciate the comedy in the comment because all of a sudden came that question. A question that caused Walt to react with sudden suspicion. ]

Why do you need to know that?

[ Who was he going to send? Had this not been tied up quite so neatly? Did Chilton intend on sending spies his way? ]

>)

[slightlyoffchilt]

I need to know where my patients are, Walter. Especially if you expect me to move around one scheduled appointment.

[kingpawn]

No. You don't.

[ Short and clipped. ]

Either you move around your appointment -- or I move it around for you. So think about the value of the patient you have filling my slot for a minute there, Chilton. Think about if you really want to lose them for good. And you know what? I bet there is no patient in the slot at all. You're probably just bluffing. It's not like you're that much in demand.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I am, actually, in that much demand. But you really don't know much about me, do you?

[He had wanted to move April from Saturday to Friday evening, and thus liberate his weekend for Raina. Chilton clenched and unclenched his jaw, questioning how Walt could even discover who usurped his old spot -- it seemed so unlikely, it wasn't like the man still had Abduxel.

But Chilton measured the risk. He considered how Walt had surprised him before, how Walt could use new angles -- like dopamine -- in ways more horrifying than sheer violence. Chilton took a deep breath --]

All right. I'll move it. Your old hour, fine, you can reclaim it. Are we settled?

[kingpawn]

[ Walt let out a laugh at Chilton's comment about not knowing much about him. A scoffing laugh, because Chilton sure would be surprised to know just how much Walt knew, wouldn't he? It was tempting to release the name Alana Bloom right then and there -- but no. He needed to save it. If it was to be a weapon, if Crane believed it to be some kind of weapon, that would have its use someday.

But after getting his way, Walt smiled -- appeased. ]

Yeah. We're settled. Friday. 7pm. I'm looking forward to it.
