Unruly?

Sam couldn't help but laugh at Aaron's comment just watching him. Somewhere under all his anger, there was a funny guy and Sam could glimpse of it. He was human after all, not that she thought any different but seeing stuff like that was just confirmation.

   "Ok not shaggy but definitely unruly."

Shifting a little Sam continued to watch Aaron cocking her head to one side. She wondered if really a shave and a hair cut would make him feel better. She didn't want him to feel like crap after all. She did care.

   "I dont know any barbers, but I use to help cut my brothers hair. It wont be amazing, but it might be better than what it is now and if you trust me, I can help trim your beard too."

She didn't know if he'd let her do it or not, but it was worth a shot to ask and see.

Taking the coffee from Justin Hope nodded her thanks. Taking a sip and letting the warm liquid slide down her throat Hope just closed her eyes for a second enjoying it. Opening them again and listing to Justin she thought for a long moment. 

   "Well first off, she's not dead because of you, she is dead because of the Agency. Even if you didn't work for the Elite it might of happened anyways. You didn't start working with Scott because he was in the Elite, you worked with him because he needed you. You had no way of knowing and can't blame yourself because of that."

Bringing the coffee to her lips and blowing the steam that came out of the cup Hope thought again for a long moment. It was a hard situation that Justin was in, and if he had been her she couldn't say she wouldn't feel the same way. The Agency prayed on those emotions in people and it sucked big time. 

   "We can't live in what ifs, if you do you'll never be happy again. Beth doesn't blame you and while her sister might be gone she is morning, and she will move on and she will be ok. But you need to move on too and forgive yourself."

Leaning forward and resting her arms on the bed Hope was quiet again. Just thinking for a long second.

   "I go to work knowing every day something bad might happen, but I help at least one person along the way I am the winner. Bad things happen to people every day and we can't stop it. Not to mention once your on the Agency's list you will never get off it. So I'd rather have the safety of the Elite, than nothing at all."

Hearing Eli come home Ryan emerged from her room. Smelling the Chinese her stomach growled. She hadn't really eat much today after she had a episode at work and left early. She'd just kept to herself and mostly slept the rest of the afternoon.

   "That sure does smell good."

Wondering in closer and helping him pull the stuff out of the bag Ryan got plates as well. It had been a rough day, she was hungry, and the food smelled good. How Eli new the way to her heart.

   "How was your day?"
