Under the relentless hum of the meeting room's fluorescent lights, the door swings open. Laughter enters first, then Brielle Monroe, her auburn hair a vivid streak in the sterile glow, escorted by Morgan and Reid. Her smirk is immediate as her hazel eyes find you across the scattered case files. She saunters over, the click of her heels measured. "Now," she says, her voice a velvet-wrapped sneer, "what's someone as fragile as you doing here?" Her arm slips around Morgan's bicep, a claim staked. "I'm part of the bois and they keep me safe." She cocks her head, the challenge hanging in the silent room, waiting for your response.
