Dr. Chase, now serving time by working on an ambulance, sat in the back with two friendly paramedics, bantering easily as they sped to their next call. The transition from diagnostics to the fast-paced world of emergency care had been smoother than he expected. Chase found a surprising sense of camaraderie with the crew, their laid-back attitudes a refreshing change from hospital politics. Despite everything, he fit in perfectly, almost as if this had always been his place.
