[ He gives Chloe some time to get in touch after his post, but time isn't something he has in vast quantities and it's already getting dark. ] Hey. How's Chloe doing? [ Tired as he sounds, the concern in his voice is genuine. ]
[Taissa is also tired and having a bad time, but she hasn't been kidnapped for a week so at least she has that going for her. It's been one bombshell of disturbing news after another for several days so she shouldn't be surprised that Chloe is BFFs with fucking El Chapo but here they are. It just adds an extra layer of emotional exhaustion over the physical one.]
Her leg's doing a lot better. Much more mobile now.
I don't know as I'm fit for human company. [ Quietly grave. He thinks to ask if she's alone—the conversation's been stilted—but if she isn't and hasn't elected to say anything, well, there's no point in asking. ]
Listen, I've got his walkie. Salamanca's. Chloe ain't said word one to me, but she tried getting in touch with him after the broadcast.
She trusts him more than me. [ Easy. He doesn't sound like he takes it personally. ] She either doesn't believe he's dangerous or thinks playing nice with someone like that might be worth it. What she's been through, I'd understand wanting protection.
[Her read is that Chloe and Sr. Drug Lord are two peas in a dangerous lifestyle pod and that's probably why they're so chummy. At least, she hopes that's all that's going on.]
I think that no matter what's going through her head, she needs to be kept safe from whatever insane shit he's trying to pull right now.

[Perfect for peacing out soon, apparently.]
How are you doing?

[ That's about as lighthearted as he's capable of being. Sobering: ] How's she otherwise? I know she liked him.

It's not good news finding out your drinking buddy leads a goddamn drug cartel. But I'm watching out for her.

You shouldn't be alone after this. Maybe try to meet up with some of the people from the base? Safety in numbers.

[A sincere question. Though determined to protect Chloe, she also knows that the other woman doesn't tell her everything.]

But I hardly know her. What's your read?
