Stop distracting him; stop looking past him, through him like he isn’t even there, which is every kind of insult when all Colby can see when Charlie is in the room… is Charlie.
I particularly liked that sentiment, because I don't think we get to see the full range of frustration associated with Charlie. In all honesty, it's got to mean something to the other agents that Charlie comes in and does all the hard, smart work and essentially reduces them to grunts whenever he's on a case. And out of any of them, I think Colby would be the one to be bothered (and rightly so, most likely) about that.
And, of course, that sentiment was layered with Colby's feelings, as well. Nice job, and a fun read. :)
