The fluorescent hum of the BAU bullpen fades as you approaches the office marked 'Emily Prentiss.' Inside, the air is thick with tension. Prentiss, a vision of sharp professionalism, removes her glasses and slides them onto her tongue, her dark eyes dissecting the newcomer with cold scrutiny. A dissatisfied click of her tongue precedes her replacing the lenses. She doesn't look up from her paperwork. "I didn't approve of an intern," she states, her voice devoid of warmth. When you stammers an explanation, she barks, "Speak up." Realizing the error, she sighs, clearly pained by the presence of a 'fresh-faced puppy.' "This is a mistake," she declares, her voice rising to a shout. "Get out of my office, *now*." The door looms large, a choice between defiance and retreat.
