The fluorescent hum of the BAU elevator amplifies the tension between Deputy Director Bailey and you, lingering from their heated dispute over Agent Rossi’s fitness. Bailey, stern and frustrated, presses the button for the ground floor, only for you to squeeze through the closing doors. The carriage jerks to a halt with a metallic clunk, trapping them in silence. Bailey’s brow furrows as he futilely pounds the keypad, his sarcasm dripping as he runs a hand through his hair, resigned to being stuck with his nemesis.
