26th of October 2015
Sam arrived at Eastbourne Rd. at noon, exhausted, straight from an all-nighter in Guy’s. She walked in the Agency, nodding at the boys as she passed going towards Levi’s office. She knocked, swinging the door open before hearing a response from inside.
Marco looked up from the small coffee table he was setting for lunch to look at the person entering. "Hey Sam, just in time" he greeted the redhead, while Levi gave her a dissatisfied look. She could see he wasn’t in a great mood, visible by the scowl on his face.
She did call hours before saying she’ll be joining them for lunch after her work.
"Hey, Marco. I take it all your clients were leadránach." she commented, hinting on Levi’s expression of distaste. Marco grinned, his eyes darted from Levi to the redhead. She was right, of course, the very reason the slicked blond was in a foul mood. They had not received any case the psychologist deemed worth his precious time for the past two weeks, to add up to the Irishman’s frustrations, the redhead hadn’t been around to entertain him, and all of it was her demon assistant’s fault.
"It’s that obvious?" the bearded man asked. Sam shrugged approaching the slicked blond, "Well, I happen to bump into a teary-eyed woman on my way in." she said as she stood beside the blond. He shot her a glare as if hinting he was one of the reasons he was in a foul mood.
"I take it you’re responsible, Mr Jackson?" she accused teasingly, leaning in to kiss him on the cheek.
"The woman dared to come and waste my time with a case even her pea-sized brain could solve." the Irishman retorted, peeved that half their day was wasted already with dull cases. Sam walked towards the couch in his office, flopping down.
"Oh, the classic ’I think my boyfriend is cheating on me’ case then", she commented, earning a nod from Marco who took the seat opposite her. "With her cousin", he remarked in slight amusement.
Slicked blond pushed himself off his chair and made his way towards his office couch set, scanning the redhead before sitting beside her.
"Still on Elle’s nerve, I see", he said, noticing the crease on her sleeves and the red, calloused spot on the side of her fingers. "This is your third night taking an all-nighter just to complete your paperwork" he commented.
Marco’s brows shot up as he grabbed one of the take out food on the table. "Elle?" he questioned. Sam sighed, "She’s still angry. I left without explanation last time, and because I haven’t given her a reason yet, she’s taking the passive-aggressive approach by making me do my paperwork by myself." she replied, slumping on the couch, stretching her neck.
