I think that Gallien did not feel he was in the position to tell the cops what was going on. Gallien believed that Chris seemed like a normal young adult that obviously was on a mission of some sort. It is hard to go out of your way to help a complete stranger, especially if they didnt even hint at wanting help. Gallien was put into a very difficult situation, but i think he got the vibe that Chris didnt want any help and that what he was doing needed to be done for some sort of reason. Besides Gallien thought that Chris would be like any other person and just run away for a little while and come back when he was ready. If Gallien called the police it wouldnt have solved anything. Growing up i have had many instances where i just wanted to get away and not be bothered...id want to go somewhere knew about so i could just be with myself and if someone told on me while i was trying to have alone time i would hate that. Gallien did the right thing it really wasnt his place because he had no idea why Chris was going into the wild.
