"No, no it's not." Her voice is very calm, assured, and supportive. "It's...mostly mine to be honest. I handled the situation poorly, and, since I hadn't been at The Bureau quite as often, between Ming and the trouble she caused, I was set up to react that way." She feels manipulated again, one of her most hated situations that seems to come back to haunt her.
"The one who set the whole thing up, knew I'd been favoring assignments with The Shadow recently, so they put me in a situation where I felt impossibly cornered, forced to choose..." She sets her cup down with a small clink. "The fact of the matter is that I wasn't cornered. The Chief would have worked with the situation, but I made a shotgun decision." She shrugs and picks the cup back up. "Now I'm dealing with the consequences. I don't think even he expected me to react so brashly. It would explain why he kept me out of things instead of letting me in on his investigation."

Hindsight is 20/20. She sips at her tea again.
