Darrow was much nicer and gave him much more freedom than Surf City but it was still a prison of a sort. It still prevented him from leaving and Coop wasn't going to give it a pass just because he didn't have a cellmate named Rodney and he wasn't confined to a small cell.

"But fine, you haven't caused any international incidents," Coop relented, waiting for Nate to open the door before he stepped in and let out a breath he hadn't realized he was holding. "Just some domestic ones."
