Chief Strauss looked at the six agents who were stood sheepishly before her. Their last case hadn't ended too well and they had to answer to her. Still she was trying to be fairer with them, she understood how they worked and this family unit they had formed. At the same time however, professionalism always had to be their top priority when working on a case. There was no excuse for what happened but she supposed she ought to hear what the team had to say for themselves.
"Well," Strauss prompted and she had to hide her amusement at the fact that these six, who hunted down serial killer son a daily basis could so easily look like a group of kids who'd been sent to the principal's office. Dave gave the others a look that plainly said 'Get ready to run' before turning back to Strauss and offering her a wry smile.
"Well you know what they say Erin, what happens on the case, stays on the case." Dave offered as the rest of the team used the time it took for Strauss to react and start yelling at Dave to get as far away from her office as they could as quickly as they could.
Rule 21: 'What happens on the case, stays on the case'is not a valid excuse.
