"Sam." Sam walked through the CID doors, just as Phil was coming out of her office.

"Phil, what were you doing in my office?" she had calmed down and reapplied her makeup, the mascara smudges were gone.

"Well it's too bad I don't have the time, so you're going to have to upset someone else."

"This had better be important Phil."

"It… It is."

"Well come on then what is it?"

"Well, Sam, you see…"

"Spit it out! What is this about Phil? If it's the case I can get Mickey to help you."

"It's not the case Sam."

"Ahh, poor Phil. Please review if you want to find out what he does.
