Sam was fully prepared to made a toying retort back when the doors opened to reveal the final straggler of the team- Joseph. His face told her everything she needed to know about how to address him tonight- he must've had a very long day. And not a fun one at that... There was an air of calm to his features, but something under the skin wasn't quite there and she decided to drop it since it was going to be a tough case as it anyway. 

Listening to Chris speak as he walked in caught her attention and she was a bit surprised to hear the bitterness in her tone- that wasn't typically there. Then again, she wasn't typically one to come into work after a few beers either. [color=f6989d]"I understand..."[/color] She simply replied with a nod and looked at her, keeping her eyes gentle to convey her message fully. [color=f6989d]"If you need to rant, you can have my ear on the flight. Ben and the kids are asleep by now. so you'll have my undivided attention. And I promise not to profile you- this time."[/color] She half smiled, taking a sip as she redirected her eyes to her final colleague and gave a nod in greeting. 

[color=f6989d]"Oh yes!"[/color] She replied happily, always glad to talk about her children to the team. They were all incredibly aware of how much she talked about them, and she had to admit it might've gotten a little annoying at this point. [color=f6989d]"Jenny is almost one, you're correct. Her teeth are coming in alarmingly fast and her latest obsession is everything but sweet potatoes, vegetable are going to be tough with her."[/color] She lightly laughed and took a s[color=f6989d]ip before continuing on. "Also, Nathaniel is more than excited for school. His best friend will be in his class so that eases my worries."[/color] She explained and gave her body a stretch before crossing her legs again, once more listening to Joseph speak, this time getting straight to the point about the case. And they called Sam the workaholic! 

But at this point, she simply stood up and made he way over to get another mug of coffee, adding her cream and sugar once more before slowly walking back to her desk and taking another glance at the photographs on the file- her mind finally making the switch from home to work as she began to brainstorm again.

His work wasn't exactly clean- but it certainly wasn't sloppy. Then again these were just photos... If they properly maintained the crime scene then they would all be able to gather far better information. She wanted to take a look at the bodies, talk to the families or at the very least sit in on the interviews depending on who Lucian wanted to take lead. Looking at the type of victim he was targeting, there might be children involved which meant she'd most likely sit in on those interviews if he wanted to speak with them just to ease their tensions. That was one part of the job she always took home with her; interviewing children was more draining than directly dealing with an unsub. 

She found herself chewing her lip, deep in thought as she spaced out in the direction of the folder, her mind switching theories every few breaths- settling on her original theory. He was finding his signature, and this was what he- or she- settled on. There could be more victims that the unsub targeted and the police were just too slow to figure that out.
