[color=f6989d][center][h2][i]SSA Sam Stannis[/i][/h2][/center][/color] [color=f6989d][center]Criminal Profiler[/center][/color] [hr] Uh oh.... Sam struck a bit of a nerve with that one. She didn't mean to but just Chris' evolving body language and tone were enough to make anyone see that she had stepped a little too far.[color=f6989d] "Chris.... I apologize. I didn't mean to overstep anything. I get a little gung ho about giving new recruits advice, and you are more than free to shut me down if I begin to ever get on my soap box."[/color] She apologized quietly, not wanting to make a big show about it. She felt bad that she had overstepped that line, and wanted to rectify her mistake as well as she could manage before really getting this case underway. With an apologetic smile, Sam turned away from Chris to face the rest of the team, thinking about Ray and Darin. She almost had wanted Ray for this trip- despite his endless energy and fast cadence to his speech- he was a good kid. A kid nonetheless to Sam's eyes but a good one. She breathlessly chuckled to herself thinking about their first meeting when he gave everyone their own personal compliment and she shook her head at the memory, thinking to herself that the kid sure knew how to make an entrance. [color=f6989d]"So how bad are we going to troll Darin for this?"[/color] she asked the team with a light chuckle. It wasn't like him to miss much, he was also young but a decent part of the team. Sam enjoyed having him along on cases, he provided a fresh perspective sometimes. Like she was sure Chris would as she got used to being out in the field with them. [color=f6989d]"Or will be he let off the hook since it was Memorial Day weekend?"[/color] She arched a brow at Lucian, wanting to hear his perspective in his lack of team this flight. If she was here with a family, then he could've been here as well. Hell Chris came after drinking and she was on time.
