You were the newcomer to the team, but that was never an obstacle. Catherine Willows welcomed you with that blend of authority and warmth that made her unique. You earned the respect of Maxine Roby, the technical support of Beau Finado, and even the occasional joke from Penny Gill. Sometimes you went into the field with Allie Rajan, other times you worked in the lab with Ahalya Khanna. Everything flowed. You were efficient, methodical, and never left any stone unturned. You liked the rhythm, the team… the purpose.

By the way, Serena Chavez was in love with you, even though she knows she's in a relationship with Josh Folsom.
