It had been a bitch of a day. Dropping in at the local field office was supposed to be a once-a-month kind of deal, but with Brett dropping this heap of garbage in her lap on top of the Miller case, Annie was needing to show her face around the Lake Mead complex a bit more than usual. It was an amalgam of annoyance she'd rather not deal with -- Brett, the jackass; the snickering behind file folders from her fellow agents; the crushing weight of her own failures -- but it couldn't be helped. After the unproductive chat with the Ohashi woman, she figured she may as well take all the hits in one fell swoop.
She dropped her car at the same lot and took a stroll down the now familiar street, searching out one more missing piece to the puzzle that had been plaguing her. It was a disappointing development, at best; it was difficult to make new friends when you were a federal agent, too much worry and suspicion constantly clouding even the simplest of interactions. Annie had thought she had been able to skip over that for a change -- that she could meet someone new and not have them worry about what her job might mean -- but as it turned out, she was the one who couldn't look past the badge for a change.
With a resigned sigh, she stopped and shoved her hands into the pockets of her linen suit.
"So is the Employee of the Decade around?" she asked.
