Well, thanks God for that.
Vivian would definitely have it under control. She might give Ian a run for his money when it came to having shit contained.
When she glanced over at Chris, who had been patiently waiting to see whatAutopsy Onelooked like now that he’d been gone for a decade, he smiled.
“My turn?” he asked.
Vivian nodded.
“You’re up next, Doctor Leonard. Are you ready to see your space?” she asked him.
In a way, he was.
“Chris, go take over the morgue. Take Gene with you for backup. Ethan, go get your space ready for Axl and yourself. I’ll check out my office and start weeding through possible staff changes.”
Blackhawk stared at his wife. Honestly, that sounded like she wanted to be alone.
And that worried him.
A quiet Elizabeth was a worried set of men who loved her. They knew her best, and‘being alone’wasn’t the norm for her.
“Will you be okay?” he asked, keeping it as light as he could since they weren’t alone.
When she only nodded, Ethan still wasn’t sure leaving her alone was a good idea.
That meant he’d have to check in on her.
And he would.
“Yes. I’m going to tour my space. I’ll catch up with everyone in a few,” she admitted. “I need to do a walk-through to meet the other agents and then start going through personnel files to see who will fit our division.”
Vivian interrupted.
“Those personnel files are already on your desk, Elizabeth. I took the initiative to assume you’d be taking staff from the pool of employees at some point. I went through and isolated all the potential people due to the types of cases they worked, and crossed them with the cases you’ve closed so you’d have an idea of who was qualified and who was not.”
Well, holy shit.
That made her happy.
It was like having a living, breathing MATE who didn’t mind thinking three steps ahead of her. That was so damn helpful.
“You wouldn’t happen to be able to do forensic science things, would you?” she asked, joking.
Vivian looked confused.
“No, should I be able to do it?”
That made Chris laugh.
How could it not?
“She’s looking for a head tech for her team, Vivian. That’s all.”
The woman smiled.
“Currently, you have a head tech assigned to you, but if he isn’t your cup of tea, Directors, I can have those files sent to you also,” she offered.
Honestly, this was Chris’ rodeo. It would be up to him and not her. The doctor got to make that choice, and she would trust him to do it.
