spider story and an ID

okay. first, i'm at my friends house, when i spot an unidentified spider on his bush/tree thing. i caught it and have it in my room. later that evening, i found a tiny huntsman/crab spider on the wall outside my bedroom. i tried to catch it, as my sister seemingly left and my parents were in their room. unfortunately, i failed as sister came inside to get something and began a huge commotion, startling me just as the huntsman began to move (i was holding a vial over it before she began). but the first spider i have locked up with my Ts and i'll soon have a pic for you guys to ID.

here are the pics. they're not really that good, but they should help.



a light grayish with a vertical darker brown stripe over the body. the abdomen is elongated and pointed at the end. when at ease, it holds its front legs together, as you can see. i couldn't get a good look at the eye formation, but none of them were significantly larger.
