Samantha Massey

"'They'd ask you what it was like to be the daughter of a hillbilly psycho. They'd parade your family around for interviews, laughing at them... laughing at you.'"—Sam talking down Hayley Rose.

Samantha "Sam" Massey, a main character of the "Most Wanted" series, is a member of the U.S. Marshals from Texas. She is first seen in Book 1, Chapter 1.

Appearance
Sam has blonde wavy hair, blue eyes and light skin. Usually, she wears a black jacket, a red shirt, and a golden necklace.

Personality
A stereotypical Texan, Sam is generally polite, but doesn't tolerate nonsense and prefers getting to the point. She likes to use force, is often brash, and can be blunt, a perfect foil to Dave's cool and calm approach. She likes to use words as a weapon, typical of someone who keeps people at a distance, as Mirasol said. However, she has a soft spot, as shown when she's talking about Bill, and when she's comforting Dave after they've spent some time together.

Despite seeming stubborn, Sam can learn to change her usual mannerisms to adapt to the situation, seen when she used Dave's approach in tricking Hayley Rose to lower her guard.

David Reyes
Sam is currently partnered with Dave. She and Dave are at first forced to work together to catch John Tull and imprison him. The two have difficulty getting along due to their contrasting personalities and approaches: while Dave is calm during intense situations and prefers using his tongue, Sam is impulsive and spontaneous, and prefers talking with her gun. Despite their personalities clashing, Dave and Sam nevertheless balance each other out, and they start realizing this the longer they work together.

Evan Shipley
Evan is Sam's best friend and partner back in Texas.

Bill Holton
Bill was Sam's boss and mentor. She is upset with his death at the hands of John Tull when Bill offered to protect her from the pervert, and blames herself for it. She is willing to do anything to catch Tull and get revenge for her father-figure.

John Tull
Sam bitterly abhors him for killing Bill, and also because his lust forced Bill to handle Tull in her stead.
