"I'm sure they'd just love it if you started telling them just how unprepared our agents are." Mike said shaking his head. It would have been just too perfect, it wouldn't be getting the girls pregnant that got them killed it would be someone complaining.
Mike rolled his eyes, "You know one day you're going to actually listen to what people say to you instead of putting words in everyone's mouths." They were stuck here, they couldn't change it - but complaining about it, spending all their time focused on the things they couldn't change wasn't going to fix anything, and it wasn't going to make it better.
He really was going to shoot Robert one day, or maybe he'd end up with a power to shut people up - that would be useful. For the time being though he was stuck at least making an attempt at playing nice while they were working and Robert kept right on being an ass.
Mike Ross was completely lost, he didn't know what he was doing there. Oh he knew in a general sort of way, in a text book sort of way, but like law the practice of being an agent wasn't quite as easy in reality. And sure his partner was there and she was a mess, but she seemed more interested in clinging to Riggins than talking to Mike, so he found himself at something of a loss. In the end he was all too happy to to have Callen telling him to usher the two into a car and off the street, it gave him something to do and he didn't have to keep on trying to look anywhere other than the body.
"Now we do what we can for her, we talk to her - we listen when she's ready to talk about. We let her do whatever she's doing with Riggins, and we don't go around pretending like everything is fine because there are rules we have to follow and we might not like them." So maybe that last bit was aimed more at Robert, but Mike wasn't exactly feeling forgiving.
