Sarah is following Bruce.

She knows that she shouldn't, but there are certain things that she likes to keep track of and in this place, people are one of the few things she can control. She's been hovering six feet behind and easing behind trees and other objects, a weapon tucked away in the small of her back. Even if it's not a gun, she's made a shiv out of good solid wood and knows that it will protect her if ever she needs it.

Right now, though, she doesn't think she needs to be on the offensive. There are just things about Bruce that set her alarms on maximum and maybe she's just being paranoid. Maybe now that he's seen her all but naked, she's over-reacting, but she'd rather let the paranoid bitch out than play dead.

And so, she follows.

She comes closer to him, but doesn't sit. She just stands a little distance away and studies him curiously. "FBI," she agrees, even though the thought of it brings back Ellison and Cromartie posing as Kester and she still isn't sure whether she doesn't believe him because of instinct or because she just doesn't want to. "What's a regular case, then? For you? A regular day?"

High-speed car chases. Shootouts. Hand-to-hand combat. It used to be, once upon a time, and though he longed for it still, his cover couldn't sympathize. "It's a lot of paperwork, to be honest," he laughed, shrugging away the question. "Every now and then we get a high-stakes case, the kind that involves undercover work, stake-outs, the whole nine. But those are few and far between. Mostly, all my phenomenal field training is put to waste."

She studies him, still on her guard, still wondering if he'd figured out that she had been there, and doesn't know what her next step is. She can try and call him out on this, but she doesn't want to bring attention to herself if he really is telling the truth. "And you always wanted to be white collar division? No aspirations to look into freakier stuff?"
