It was rare for the veteran agents to disagree, especially so adamantly, but Joseph was not on the same page as either Lucian or Agent Stannis in this situation. There was a value to determining motive, it could be the difference between continuing to be reactive to the unsub or finally being proactive enough to get ahead of them. 

[COLOR=WHITE]"I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss motive,"[/COLOR] Joseph warned, winking towards Chris in a manner that communicated he had her back. [COLOR=WHITE]"I realize, more so than most,"[/COLOR] Joseph added knowing that his past was well known with both of the agents he had worked with prior to Chris' arrival. [COLOR=WHITE]"Asking 'why' can haunt a person, but if we can get inside the Unsub's head, see the world as they see it, that could be our ticket to ensuring we don't end up with another body."[/COLOR]

[COLOR=WHITE]"Dr. Auiglar is a trained psychologist, if you have an ace up your sleeve, you use it."[/COLOR] If Lucian was 'Team Dad', then Joseph was the 'Cool Grandpa'. If anyone on the team was going to entertain a new idea or technique, it was likely going to be Joseph. While he might have been perfectly content to be rigid and ruled in his personal life, he knew the people they chased often weren't. Any additional insight was always a welcome asset.

Speaking of assets, Joseph was surprised at how lax Lucian was towards their missing agents. While he understood that Ray primarily, and for the benefit of all, worked remotely. There was little excuse for Darin having missed the call. If only all the new agents could follow Chris' example a bit closer.[/indent][/indent][hr][indent][COLOR=LIGHTGRAY][b]Interactions:[/b][/COLOR] [@Artemis Arts] [@evierose] [@OddApproved][/indent][/color]
