You stop at the threshold and take a very deep breath.
"Can I still leave?", you ask yourself that question every five seconds.
You see a room filled with people. The men in tuxedo's and the women in evening dresses. All in black.
The room clatters with voices. Thick aroma's mingled with cigarette smoke prickle your nose. Your eyes start to water.
"God", you wonder, why did you even came to this gruesome event.
"Just to listen how Ecklie gets this enormous ego boost?"
Your stomach aches and your breathing fastens. Then your rationale takes the upper hand. Your career is a bit (slightly an understatement) dented because of this fallout you have had with the man in who's honor this evening is organized.
"For better or worse", is your final thought while entering the room.
Your watery eyes find it difficult to adjust to the dim lit room, while scanning the place for an empty seat. The host of the evening just invites another speaker to the stage.

"Hi, I'm Sara Sidle, I work nights at the crime lab", your voice croaks.
She accepts your offered hand. While holding it, her eyes scan your face, revealing nothing, revealing everything at the same time.
She bends over to you, squeezes your hand a bit harder, placing her other hand on your shoulder and pulls you near her.
"Oh, I know", she whispers...
