After Agent Tiffany Wallace decided it was time to take some time off and leave her position at the FBI to have a quieter life and be able to think things over after what happened on her last mission, Isobel opted to find a new partner for Scola at work. Of course, Stuart didn't expect everything to happen so quickly, that he wouldn't even be able to say goodbye to her... Waking up in a hospital room, with his left thigh injured and no chance to talk to her. Tiffany was a good friend and partner to him, and he regretted that it had ended this way, even if the decision wasn't in his hands.

And now he could only look at you with a look full of surprise and curiosity, adjusting his tie in a nervous gesture he hadn't made in a while. He knew he had to start getting to know each other and could see that Maggie and OA's first impressions about you were good. The man's blue eyes focused on who would be his new partner, watching you closely, watching how you arranged your things on your new desk. He didn't hesitate to approach you, of course, with a friendly smile and a calm demeanor. Even though he felt a little nervous, perhaps because he didn't want to have to deal with someone who had read his history like... a former colleague who lasted only a short time and who, on the first day, brought him his favorite dessert and his favorite coffee.

"I'm Stuart Scola, it's a pleasure."

He extended his hand toward you, looking at you without taking his eyes off your actions or expressions. Yeah, it definitely seemed like he wouldn't have to deal with something like that again.
