Melissa passes Callen and turns away happy that she has one-upped him. Callen stands in shock. Sam seeing an opportunity as she passes him attempts to attack her from behind but she catches his arm and tackles him to the mat, arm behind his back as he squirms. She moves a strand of wayward hair from her face as he continues to squirm. Callen looks on impressed at her strength while she continues to hold the big guy down.
'Schooled!' came the shouts from the other men in the room.
'Ow. That hurts.' Sam complained
'Not too much I hope.' Melissa retorted.
'Let go! It's not a fair fight.'
'Like a sneak attack?' Melissa replies with a smirk.
'Ok I was wrong.' Sam conceded.
'Are you going to release him?' Callen asked after a minute savouring the moment of Sam being pinned down.
'What's hurting worse your arm or your pride?' Melissa questioned.
Sam grunts as she releases his arm:
'Both.' He spat.
Melissa stands back up allowing Sam to lie on his back.
'Meeting five minutes guys. Sam- All is fair in war.' Melissa remarks.
'You forgot in love.' Callen amended.
'I didn't forget it I simply felt that part unnecessary.' Melissa winked at Callen before sauntering out the door. Sam notices as he takes a breath before Callen helps him up.
'We got schooled.' Callen joked as he gently shoves Sam who doesn't move.
'We better get to this meeting….' Sam replied changing the subject.
'Were you going easy on her?' Callen asked with a smile.
'On Melissa no.' Sam scoffed as Callen smiled and headed towards the door.
'I would hope not. She was going easy on you.'
'How do you know?'
'Cos she doesn't with me…'
'Did you think I was? Going easy on her…' Sam asks
'You tell me…' Callen replied as he reached the doorway and let Sam go ahead of him.
