Re: Abby and Sam
Sam thought about the question for a moment, and decided that he simply couldn't answer it. "I think you're asking the wrong thing," he said finally. "It never occurred to me to hate a mission in the first place," he explained, "especially in the Navy. You just follow orders. You don't like or dislike them; you don't question them. Even with NCIS, I wouldn't hate the mission, I might find the risks involved to outweigh the benefits, but in the end, that's G's call to make. I can make a case for an approach over another, but once the decision is made, there's no room for questions."
He looked at her and shook his head. "I don't think so. I'd rather deal with the unexpected than be home wondering what happened to my team, wondering if they are okay, worrying that I'm not there to watch their backs. No, I'd rather be here than there."
