The laptop shuts with a snap. It stills seems to be on, Gene judges from the subtle hum, but at least he couldn't see the screen any longer. Papers pile on top of it, effectively hiding it from prying eyes looking inside his office.

Sort of.

It's good enough, at any rate, and Gene locks the door behind him just  in case. CID remains empty and dark

Sam jolts up away from the laptop as soon as the door to his flat crashes open, but he doesn't even get a chance to scramble off the bed before Gene (because of course it's Gene) flings himself on top of Sam

He clings to Sam tightly, pressing against his back as the man wheezes from the punch. Gene hadn't meant to get him hard enough to do permenant damage -- just enough for a wake-up call -- but the way Sam seizes up beneath him, Gene wonders if he's gone too far and seriously hurt him. That's not what he wanted, not when he's spoiling for a brawl, and so pushes against Sam, palm flat against his side, to see if he can feel the warm pressure of bleeding. All he can feel is skin beneath Sam's vest and shirt

For the second time in as many minutes, the breath is driven from Sam's body as Gene knees him in the stomach. Sam's growling furiously, or he would be doing if he had any breath to do so, and he twists in Gene's grip, panting and wriggling against him. The man is like a bloody octopus, though, and now that he isn't actually actively attacking Sam, just pinning him still to the mattress, Sam finds he really can't do much in the way of moving.

'Perspective?' He snarls, the instant he finds his breath again. 'How exactly is attacking me in me flat going to give me any perspective

Gene locks his elbow to keep Sam from moving forwards, and with the matress' hindrance and Gene plastered behind him, Gene's sure Sam isn't going anywhere soon
