Cara became nearly hysterical during the running fight with the Aztlan forces, to the extent that she had still not regained control even after it was all over. Refusing the strong dose of tranquilizers that the paramedic offered, she did accept the help of more conventional administrations. Chase made several attempts to speak with her, to which she responded politely, but he could see in her eyes a well of dark emotions that the violence of the previous days had churned up. Unable to bridge the chasm between them, he ended up helplessly walking away from conversations that dribbled away into uncomfortable silences. Maybe help for her was best left to the experts they'd find in Denver.
