Perhaps his original thought had been correct. This case was too personal for him and he shouldn't have taken it, for he was letting his emotions cloud his judgment and wasn't being the sort of interrogator that he would have been if it were any other case. Luke chewed on the inside of his lip as he took a deep breath and let it out slowly, trying to settle his nerves which were being frayed to within an inch of their lives and closed his eyes for a few moments, thinking things through. It was always good to try and take a deep breath to calm down because things could become clearer.<br/><br/>Marsha was calm, collected and cool as she usually was and normally her presence would give him peace of mind and settle him down as well but today it was not happening. Maybe he should have a talk with her and see what advice she could give him for he really needed it, he'd thought he could handle it but obviously he was freaking out. Sooner or later if it kept going like this he might even snap and then who knew what might happen. Best to get it out in the open with Marsha and see if she had any thoughts on the matter.<br/><br/>Perhaps he would even let her take control for a bit until he got his groove back, that might be necessary. It was certainly better than being taken off the case. But that was assuming he was so far gone as to need a short break before resuming and he sighed as he returned his attention back to the proceedings at hand. That was when he happened to see Ghrist reach his hand out to place it on Marsha's and made a move on her and Luke's eyes narrowed when he saw that but he didn't make a move to stop the other man since Marsha could take care of herself just fine.<br/><br/>She'd showed him in the past when people had tried to take advantage of her handicap and it made Luke never want to mess with her! Well, at least not<em>seriously</em>for they messed around together all the time when it came to business and pleasure, it was a sort of traditional teasing that was expected. This sort of messing around was not something Marsha appreciated and Ghrist would shortly see exactly what Marsha was capable of when being hit on by someone she had no interest in and the corners of Luke's lips twitched slightly.<br/><br/>Oh, this guy would never see what was coming next!
