[Spencer and JJ are sitting at their desks, poring over case files. Spencer nervously fidgets with his pen, trying to gather his thoughts.]
Spencer: J-J-JJ, have you seen the latest findings on the... uh... case in Nevada?JJ: Yeah, I was just going through them. It's a puzzling one, isn't it?
Spencer: It's, uh, intriguing, the way... the patterns are... emerging.[Derek, observing from nearby, smirks knowingly as he watches Spencer's struggle.]JJ: Spencer, are you feeling alright? You seem a little... off today.
Spencer: Off? No, no, I'm perfectly... f-f-fine. Just... a bit... busy.[Derek tries to suppress a chuckle, catching Spencer's attention momentarily.]JJ: Okay, if you say so. But if there's anything on your mind, you know you can talk to me, right?
Spencer: R-R-Right. Thanks, JJ. You're always... s-so understanding.[Derek, noticing Spencer's unease, gestures a supportive thumbs-up, trying to encourage him from a distance.]JJ: Hey, we make a great team, right? We've got each other's backs.
Spencer: Yeah, the best... t-t-team.[JJ smiles warmly, noticing Spencer's struggle to articulate himself. She decides not to press further, sensing his discomfort.]JJ: Well, let's crack this case together, okay?
Spencer: Absolutely, together.[Derek, still watching, nods in approval, silently cheering Spencer on as he tries to navigate the conversation with JJ.]
