Chase hadn't been home to Australia for a good five years, give or take. But recently, a strange sensation of homesickness had been creeping up on him and because he felt the urge to act on it, he figured it was more than just the shitty cold weather causing it. He had no intentions of visiting family because he wasn't particularly close to any of them. He just wanted to plant his feet on some Aussie sand, have a decent beer, a barbie, and surf.

Having a few weeks off after Christmas and not an iota of a clue what he should do to fill it, he knew he had to go somewhere. So, why not just upsticks home for awhile? )

"I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms."

• Into My Arms, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds


Chase had made so many trips to Philadelphia in the last few weeks that he could practically drive the route on auto-pilot. Not quite as auto-pilot as the time he was driving home from a long and hard nightshift, accidentally fell asleep at the wheel and nearly slammed into the back of a pick-up truck. Sometimes it paid to sleep in your car a bit before you actually turned on the engine, no matter how short the drive was.

He had a couple of days off to kill and even though he hadn't actually told Connor his trips to Philly weren't just booty calls but checking to make sure he was okay, he wasn't too proud to take the perks with the job at hand... )

Chase stood by his bedroom window just on sunrise, looking out into the bleak morning as the rain poured outside. The weather was fitting for the night he had and there was no doubt a tension headache was making itself known like a tight band clamped around his forehead. But he made a promise that he was going to keep it, and as he put his cell phone to his ear, listening to the rings, he glanced over at his bed where Connor was sprawled on his stomach beneath the mess of sheets and quilt with his dark hair hanging in his eyes.

The line connected and he glanced away, back to the miserable view outside... )
