Strauss looked up from her spot on the ground with a glare at Serenity even as she addressed Aaron. "You're just going to let her do that?"
Serenity stalked over, glaring down at Strauss. "I was protecting what's mine, Director. I'm very protective of what I feel is mine. My things, my friends, my family....my fiance." She showed off her ring. "You have a lot of nerve, coming here, accusing my fiance of something so despicable and then attempting to blackmail him and my soon to be brother in law so you could try to sink your claws into him."
Strauss only lifted her other hand in Serenity's direction, her sleeve falling revealing she had a gun. "Guess I'll just have to take you out." She aimed it right at Serenity's stomach and fired.
Serenity doubled over holding her stomach and gasping, with the same arm that had held her knife. That knife now pinning Strauss to the ground by her shoulder after another quick movement by Serenity had caused the knife to slice through Strauss' gun wielding arm. There was no visible sign of the bullet that had been fired which meant as far as the others would be able to tell, it had hit its mark. She sent a message telepathically to the BAU, Krys and Ami. "I'm fine. Promise. Not that she knows of course." She chuckled telepathically.
Serenity then sent Aaron a separate telepathic message. "Aaron, care to play the extremely concerned and possibly pissed fiance since i've supposedly been shot?"
