Colby was sit quietly at his desk, it was late but he still had to finish reports, to his unhappiness, so he looked up for a break he thought about the first time he had met Don.
Flashback
Don looked at the stack of file on his desk, it was files of young agents who had just stepped out of Quantico, he came out of the office of the director, and it forced him to take a new agent despite Don protests. He was doing just fine and Don did not want a new agent who knew nothing at all to work as an agent. So he took the first record of the stack, he decided he would do anything to break this young agent all hoping that the director finally leave him alone. He called the young agent after his record was called Colby Granger, and gave him an appointment the next day on the morning, the time was deliberately chosen in the hope that it would not be awake.
The next day, at 7 A.M, an agent went over to the office of Don, he was with a man, Don deduced it was Colby Granger.
Agent: It's Colby Granger.
Don: Thank you, John.
John go and Don decide to stay nice with Colby for now.
Don: Don Eppes.
Colby: Colby Granger.
They shake hands
Don: We go in the sport hall to start, I'll show you where the locker rooms whare you can change.
Colby nodded and went with Don to the locker room and while Colby Don stayed in the doorway, and when Colby took off his shirt he had noticed many scars.
Don: What's happen to you?
Colby: Afghanistan.
Don: Where you there?
Colby: You should know if you had read my file.
Don is a little surprised by the remark but quickly replied.
Don: I prefer not to go on preconceptions.
Colby says nothing, and Don went with him in the gym and from that moment it was gone for a morning of effort. Don wanted to ruffle Colby but the training he had prepared was not worth nothing compared to what Colby had been in the army and when it was over he was barely out of breath.
Colby: So you've prepared something else or I can come Monday?
Don stayed a little surprised by the remark of Colby, but he could not deny that Colby was good, much more than he thought.
Don: You can come on Monday at 8 am
Colby replied smiling, happy to have succeeded.
FIN DU FLASHBACK
Don: You're okay Colby?
Colby jumped he had not seen his boss arrived.
Colby: Yeah, I'm okay.
Don: What were you thinking?
Colby: The first time we met.
Don smiled.
Don: Yes, I remember.
Colby: You do not want a new agent.
Don: That's right, how did you know?
Colby: I knew afterwards, because we do not do what you made me do to new recruits.
Don: I just lost an agent, I do not want to replace.
Colby said nothing.
Don: But I'm glad you took your record on the stack that day, I've never regretted it.
Colby: Thank you Don.
Don: Come on I buy you a beer.
