(hope you are okay)
30 acres… In a place like Cruentus, that seemed like a lot of land and in a barn no less. This conjured in Chase the image of beds made from hay bails.
Chase didn’t mind the question as such, but that didn’t mean that he wanted to answer it. He never did when it came to questions regarding personal questions about himself. He preferred to remain an enigma. He didn’t even like his employers knowing where he lived. He usually didn’t trust them for a start. Chase didn’t trust anybody.
“I’m staying in one of the cheap motels out on Great Eastern,” Chase lied.
No, Chase avoided hotels and motels when he could. It was always the first place the authorities looked when they were tracking down foreigners. Chase had pulled the advertisement labelled ‘Apartment for Rent’ off of a pin-up board in one of the local universities.

Serenity nodded. She didn't know if he was telling the truth. Hell, he didn't know if she herself was telling the truth. "I guess my place will be a step up from there, though, before we head out to my place, we'll need to stock up on food." at that moment, the doctor walked in again.
Checking her machines, Dr. Wilson gave Serenity a smile, and gave Chase a quick glance. "Well, it looked as if you are going to make it, and i guess we can release you now. You can either wait for him," she made a gesture toward Chase, "to go and get you some clothes to wear, or you can wear the lovely hospital gown home." she gave her a smile. "I choose the gown" Serenity smiled. Dr. Wilson laughed, "Most people do" she carefully removed the IV from her wrist. "You're free to go" she said with a smile.
Without wasting a moment, Serenity flung the blankets off of her, and she turned, putting her feet on the floor next to the bed.

(I’m glad. Sorry, my posting has been rather slow as well.)
Chase was surprised to hear that most people opted to wear the green gown home. They weren’t exactly the most flattering of attire he’d seen. Perhaps most people were in such a rush to get out of the hospital that they didn’t care. With the eagerness that she hopped off of the bed, he surmised that this was probably a big factor in her decision and wasn’t surprised so much by her choice. He recalled the black miniskirt, and a white blouse and a hot pink tie that she had been wearing earlier. He’d been trying so very hard earlier not to notice, that it was hard not to. They’d obviously been chosen for her purpose that night – seduction, so they were hardly the garments one wanted to leave hospital wearing. Still, the gown was on the other end of the fashion spectrum. Serenity was a practical girl, fitness for purpose. Chase stepped forward to support her or at least offer his hand when she stood, just in case she was overestimating her abilities. He tried not to make a big show of it, sensing that she was the capable sort of girl that didn’t like to be doted on too much.
“What happened to the clothes and personal effects that she had come in with?” He asked the doctor.
Her bag was in the boot of his car, but she might have had some other items on her. He once again thought of the permit to hold a concealed weapon. Had she somehow been managing to conceal certain items upon her person? The outfit hadn’t really left a lot of room for concealment from what he could recall.

(ARGH! i'm going to get this post if it kills me!)
The doctor nodded, and walked over to the other side of the bed. She crouched, then rose with a plastic bag in her hand. "Here are you affects. I really like your shoes. Must have been a fun night, up until, well, yeh" she smiled, and set the bag on the foot of the bed. "We can email your papers to your house, if you would rather fill them out there instead of here." Serenity nodded, then rattled off her address, which the doctor jotted down.
When Chase stepped forward, she froze a moment, then, with her left hand, she took his, while her right hand went behind her, where the gown hung open. "erm....My gown..." the doctor laughed, and akwardly crawled onto the bed, and began to string up the gown, until it was tied up at the neck. "There ya go." she said with a laugh, then crawled off the bed. "The papers should be at your house in a few days" she gave her a smile, then left the room.
Serenity continued to hold his arm, until she realized what she was doing, and she let go, bracing her legs against the bed. "I guess we can go now..." she said in a flustered voice.

(Yeah, I know how you feel. I feel like I’ve been trying to flog a dead horse with my muse lately, especially with some posts and I’ve been struggling to reply to. Most of mine have been taking longer to write than normal and then I reread them later and think ‘what the hell was I thinking when I wrote this?’ lol so I find I go through phases. I think my muse is starting to come back though now. Yours was good btw ).
The doctor seemed nice. For somebody that was obviously very busy and running a tight schedule, she was still very amiable and considerate. If only all the nurses had been like that. Half of the ones that he’d met would probably have frowned at her attire and given Serenity a lecture on accepting drinks from strange men. Needless to say, Serenity wasn’t a young teenager any more and far from naïve.
It wasn’t like Chase to shy away from much. He’d stared death in the face many times without flinching. It was usually the emotional ‘stuff’ that tended to set him off on the wrong foot. Usually this wasn’t a problem because Chase rarely let himself get close enough to people for this sort of thing to affect him. Chase didn’t know where to look when Serenity stood up and took his hand. Not that he would have been able to see anything anyway. Not knowing how to respond and half expecting that her gown was going to fall, Chase looked away. All the while he tried to act as if everything was hunky dory by adopting an it’s nothing I haven’t seen before look. Truth be told, it had been a while since he’d seen a woman naked and he felt anything but calm and collected. With her left hand on his, it was hardly like he could really do much anyway and so he waited patiently as the doctor calmly climbed onto the bed and began to do up the straps. It irked him somewhat that she kept managing to make him feel awkward, like a blushing school boy. Thank God he wasn’t blushing, Chase mused to himself. There was a moment as the doctor left the room and they glanced at each other. He was relieved when she finally let go of his arm. The warmth from her touch lingered for a few moments after she had let go. He nodded, trying his best to appear unaffected.
He nodded and took a few steps back to give her room to find out whether she could walk.
“When you are ready,” he said, not wanting to rush her in case she was overcome by a dizzy spell.

((thanks! yours was good too! i hope your muse has returned, cause..well...idk...just cause. its always better for RPGers to have their muses, and when its gone, you feel like a part of you is gone....it makes me sad...lol. i go through those phases where i dknot really know what i just wrote, and then reading it later, i'm just either, "Omg. that was amazing.." or ..."what the hell? that sucks so much!!!" but...yeh....i understand what you're going through...))
Determined not to appear weak, she gave a determined smile, and grabbing the bag of her things, she turned, and took an hesitant step away from the bed. She stood still for a moment, contemplating whether or not her legs were going to give out. Deciding they were going to hold, she straightened her back, and took another step, then another, till she was finally making her way toward the door. Making her way out, she put a hand against the wall, taking a few breaths. At least she wasn't hooked up to the damn heart monitor, so Chase wasn't capable of knowing how fast her heart was accually beating at the moment. Damn damn damn damn damn....i'm a fucking idoit.... she mentally cussed herself out, as she continued to take deep breaths. She didn't turn around to look at Chase, because she knew he would be able to see the pain in her eyes.

(It seems to be coming back to me )
Chase didn’t know much about this mystery drug that the guy from the club had given her and he didn’t know what side-effects to expect. He probably should have asked the doctor before she raced off to her next patient. Surely if he needed to know anything, the doctor would have told them. Besides, they’d manage. Chase followed, all the while feeling awkward that he was actually concerned for her welfare and he had to restrain himself from offering her help. For one thing, he knew that she’d be able to do it in her own time and the last thing she’d probably want was to feel reliant on him. She was an assassin for crying out loud, not some dainty little princess, and Chase certainly was no woman’s knight in shining armour. He waited patiently as Serenity slowed and leaned against one wall for support.
“Are you okay?” He asked warily. “Do you need a hand?”
Chase wondered whether she might have been playing it up, but she wasn’t and yet maybe she was. Most women instinctively knew how to play it up, even when they weren’t; preying upon the inbuilt response in the male psyche to protect the female. Chase had given up on all that psychoanalytical and philosophical crap and dismissed his line of thinking. He was just being paranoid as per usual. His gut instincts told him that he could trust her. Perhaps that was what he was worried about.

(YAY! me too!!)
She glanced back at him. "Yeh, but just be ready to catch me if I fall." she was psyching herself up for taking another few steps, when she looked back again, rather sheepishly, and stated. "You better lead, i'm not quite sure where you're parked" Serenity felt like a complete idiot, but hey, a girl who had just been drugged had a right to feel like an idiot, or a retard...whichever worked.
Silently cursing herself for showing weakness, she held out a hand to him, so he could lead her whichever way that they were needed to go.

Chase felt as awkward taking her hand as she had been in offering it. The hand was small and seemingly fragile in his and he felt as if he would crush it if he squeezed too hard. Once more he noticed the warmth that radiated from it. He wondered why she had trusted him that much. He would have never trusted him in her position, or so he had thought. That very notion was bearing down upon him. No, if he had been in her in her position then he would have done exactly what she had done, but why? Chase refused to accept the obvious. Somehow there had to be some other explanation. He rationalized that soon perhaps he would find out. The consequences of which could of course be fatal, or perhaps not. Maybe he should have got the hell out of there while he had the chance. At her touch however, it became apparent that Chase was not trapped to whatever path Serenity had ahead of her. He led her out of the hospital, slowly and tediously until they arrived at his car. His vehicle was a nondescript white Holden Commodore. Using the keyless remote, he opened the passenger seat door and gestured her inside. He hadn’t said much on their trip to his vehicle. For some reason he hadn’t known what to say.

Serenity slid into the seat and leaned her head back against it. She closed her eyes and took deep breaths. Damn it all, she thought to herself, a few steps from the room and i cant even breath properly, she cursed herself over and over again for being weak. She dropped the bag of items at her feet, and sighed as she rummaged through with her eyes closed. She could feel the skirt, the shoes, and the shirt. But she frantically searched for the tie, until, breathing a sigh of relief, she found it. That pink tie was her favorite, and she wasn't going to loose it over something like this.
Eyes still closed, she leaned back in her chair, refraining from falling asleep, seeing as she would have to give him directions to her house. "We might want to pick up some stuff first before we go to my house. Groceries, maybe some of your clothes...things like that" she offered

Chase slid into the driver’s seat beside her, noting her rummage through the bag with a blind hand. He was expecting her to freak when she realised that her purse and handbag were not in the bag but she didn’t. He wondered what she had been checking for. This intrigued him. Perhaps she had been concealing something else in her clothing that neither he nor the hospital staff had picked up. Chase hadn’t frisked her before he’d taken her in. He’d had no reason to. He didn’t say anything but watched serenity in his peripheral vision. He was surprised that they’d have released her like this, although with him on hand and the shortage of beds. He hoped this was just temporary. From what he could recall, the forest where she lived was a fair hike if he had to bring her back here in an emergency.
“Sure, you direct me, since you know the way. I should be right for clothing for me. I have supplies in the trunk.”
(hehe. Thanks for reminding me Chase is American after all.)

Serenity nodded, then remained motionless once more. "If you go up this street about 20 blocks or so, turn left, and go a few more blocks, then you'll hit the main street, then take a right. Thats the street that will take us out toward my house. The good thing is, there is a grocery store on that street on the way, so, if you wanted to stop for food, we could stop there. If you wanted to wait, just take the main street until you hit Jackson Ave. Its about 1 kilometer from the grocery store. Take a left and follow that for about 3 kilometers, and then take another right, and that will be Henderson Dr. You'll see two or three houses, and then nothing for about 4 kilometers, and then, at the end of the drive, you'll see a barn, and a large one story house, thats mine." She opened her eyes. [i]"If you get lost, just wake me up...Cause i think i'm going to fall asleep soon. But i dont want you wandering around town." she closed her eyes once more

Chase listened and tried to visualise her directions as she explained them He had to smile to himself as she closed her eyes. Fortunately he had a good memory but her instructions had seemed a little vague at best. About 20 blocks or so, turn left? He guessed that it probably didn’t matter. There was a map book in the car and he had memorised the street names. He felt certain that he was resourceful enough to work it out. Chase did up the seat belt, started the engine and headed in the direction that she had indicated.
