Erin was not a shooter. Sure, she carried a weapon and was an ace at the range, but she'd never actually aimed it under real, field-distressed circumstances.

She found she didn't like the feeling of a human being—criminal or not—in her sights or the dead-to-rights view of blood as it spattered from their chest. She'd much rather be in her office at Quantico, red-marking field reports and reprimanding disorderly special agents.

That was her place. Not pressing wounds for fallen CSIs named Natalia in a city on the beach. She had no business here.

She wasn't a shooter.
