With shaky breath and unsteady hands she lowered her weapon, the man's body now slumped over and the painful silence hung in the air like a fog too thick. But the sound of nothingness was only to her ears, around her an onslaught of officers descending onto the downed suspect. They wouldn't get anything - she shot to kill. And she didn't care. Whatever shit IAB decided to give her, it was worth it, because she shot the bastard, killed him in cold blood.

"Eames?" his voice brought her down from her dark thoughts, his hand coming to rest gently on her hands, still wrapped tightly around the just-fired handgun.

Blinking over to him she loosened her grip and let him slide the cold metal from her sweaty fingers. Taking the butt of the gun in his large hand he draped the other around her, letting it come to rest on the small of her back.

"Come on..." he prompted gently giving her a small push to clear her from the scene.
