[ It's now or never and although he was hoping that some time would push that towards now rather than never, Reid really doesn't feel like he's ready. He feels raw and exhausted and although he's pushed himself to go out and get some clothes that aren't borrowed from Karev's closet, he's so not in a place where public announcements are possible.

But he has to. Now or never. Movements dull, he reaches for the communicator. ]

...░m back. [ A stretch of static-y silence. ] I'm so░▒y.

	A lot has happened since then, Sam. Things change. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You want to talk about it? It doesn't have to be now or anything, but I'm around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-03-31 08:27 pm UTC (link)
	I'd... rather not. [ Actually, he would and it shows in his voice. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[So transparent, profiler.] We could just get together and I could catch you up on what the investigative team's been doing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-03-31 10:22 pm UTC (link)
	I guess that would be a good idea. I can't right now, but... maybe later this afternoon? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2014-04-06 08:01 pm UTC (link)
	Sure. Headquarters or my place? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-04-07 10:54 pm UTC (link)
	[ He should say HQ but HQ is full of people and he's really not trusting himself around a room full of people just yet. And Sam... he likes Sam. He trusts him. ] Your place? If that's okay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2014-04-12 10:15 pm UTC (link)
	Not a problem. Just head over when you're ready? [Salty will be excited to have more Sam time at home.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-04-13 12:52 pm UTC (link)
	Alright. I'll, uh... I'll see you later. [ And later, there is a knock on the door. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2014-04-14 03:17 am UTC (link)
	[The knock is met by an eager bark and the sound of a dog on the other side of the door waiting for for Sam to get over there already and open it up so he can inspect this newcomer! Sam complies a moment later.] Come on, Salty. [The door opens up.] Hey, Reid, come on in. You're not allergic, are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-04-14 07:53 pm UTC (link)
	No... I'm not allergic. [ He steps in with some trepidation. Definitely not an animal person. ] Thanks for, uhm... thanks for seeing me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2014-04-16 04:00 am UTC (link)
	[Sam nudges Salty back and the dog seems to give up on the idea of getting all the petting from this one for the moment.] It's no problem. You'd do the same, right? Kitchen table? [Gesturing toward it. There are some books and papers there already and a half-empty bottle of beer.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-04-16 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	Of course. [ He nods rather stiffly, but moves over to take a seat. Also stiffly. Awkwardly. ] So... where do we start? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2014-04-16 09:53 pm UTC (link)
	How much do you know about the changes to the force? Did anyone else fill you in? [Like your girlfriend/boss.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-04-16 09:57 pm UTC (link)
	Not really, no... I guess other things came up. [ Like gunshot wounds and dead girlfriends. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sure. Well, she made an announcement saying that she was consolidating the combat teams into two. One is under her and the other is with Jack. I guess the coming and going made it hard to keep the sector teams balanced. She also pulled out of sector 6. She said she had ideas for it, but it wasn't a priority right now. Then she announced Data as the head of the investigation team.

	[ He nods, somewhat solemnly. ] She's a good leader. We needed more flexibility. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2014-04-20 11:17 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, it seems like a good move. ...For a couple of days she was around a lot more. Then she was around a lot less, but I think we all get it. You want a drink? I've got another beer or some water? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-04-21 10:45 pm UTC (link)
	Water's fine, thank you. I, uh... I don't drink. [ Especially not now. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2014-04-24 04:31 am UTC (link)
	Right. That makes sense. [He just mostly knows heavy drinkers. At least back home. He gets up, heading for the fridge to pull out a bottle of water and sliding it toward him.] This is better for you anyway, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-04-24 12:18 pm UTC (link)
	[ Well, you know. Addict. Cross-addiction. He can have the occasional glass of wine, sure, but maybe not with a side-order of trauma and depression. ] That's what they say. [ He takes the bottle and makes an attempt to unscrew the cap, but with a fresh gunshot wound it's a lot more difficult than it should be. Ow. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Watching with some concern.] Want me to get that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-04-26 09:16 pm UTC (link)
	[ Clearing his throat, somewhat self conscious. ] Yeah, uhm... that would be good. Thanks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He takes it, opening it for him.] I've had my share of bullet wounds. [Sliding the opened bottled over.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-04-26 09:51 pm UTC (link)
	[ He gives a little nod of gratitude. ] This isn't my first either... but hopping on crutches for a couple of months seemed easier, somehow. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
