Sam can't even remember his first kill and that would resonate with him if he ever bothered to reflect upon it. There were some doors you shouldn't open and some halls you shouldn't trek down and when it came to his childhood that door was bolted shut and the hallway behind it was more or less left to diminish. The way he was raised, the lifestyle he and his brother had to live weren't for the faint of heart, and whatever normalcy he'd been able to snatch for himself then was long gone. As dead as his dream to be a lawyer and live a peaceful picket fence life with Jessica.
Sam is mildly impressed with Spencer, a gangly federal agent that had all the federal but none of the agent at face value. He was swift and exacting with the machete and looking at him it's clear that's the reason he's so shaken and not because he just killed a vampire or found out vampires are real, like some. He has a heart, and it's not all procedure, some feds relied heavily on rules and forgot core ethics but this one seemed to have those core ethics roped in tight like Mandevilla through all the regulatory jargon.
"It's okay," more than actually. Sam can empathize with the position he's in and his eyes often over a tense jaw. He follows behind at a distance too close to make a hasty escape but he's anxious, his hands are pins and needles and his shoulder aches something awful.
"We can call an ambulance if you want, but they'll have questions." Questions that neither of them will be able to answer truthfully. The presence of other law enforcement might also expedite Sam's transition into handcuffs. "Or we can take your cruiser and get her set up, and then while she's being checked out by professionals you and I can have that talk."
very sorry for the delay last month threw me some curveballs
