Chapter 10 - 18/18
The Sentinel Zone 10/18
"We'll have to capture this person and find out." Jim said, trying to sooth Blair.
"Jim, we pissed off so many people it could be anyone." Blair uttered, trying to control the panic attack he was feeling coming on.
"Who's Alex?" Asked Walt.
"She's another Sentinel that tried to kill Blair." Simon answered; hating the look Blair was getting.
"Tried to kill me, she did kill me." Blair answered.
"What do you mean she did kill you?" Bruce asked, in a surprised voice.
"She hit me over the head with a gun and drowned me in the fountain at Rainer College." Blair answered, trying to hold back his panic attack.
"Then how are you alive?" Asked Walt. He then realized what he asked.
Before Blair or Jim could say anything, John grabbed Blair's arm. //They are both in an office when a blonde woman walked in. "What do you want Alex." Blair asked, he then turned toward John. "I should never have helped her, but I was so excited I'd found another Sentinel." Blair said, turning back toward Alex. "I'm sorry to do this, you really helped me with my senses. I didn't really didn't know what was going with me." Alex said, taking out a gun. "Alex you don't want to do this." Said Blair. Turning toward John, "She lied to me on how she got her abilities." Blair said, before turning back toward Alex. A second later Alex hit Blair over the head with her gun, picked him up, and dragged him out the door toward the fountain. All this time John was following them...but then he found himself in a jungle with a wolf and jaguar running toward each other. "I felt myself slipping away, before Jim's spirit guide and mine joined." Blair said, also watching the joining. //
"John what did you get?" Bruce asked, seeing John come out of the vision.
Looking at Blair, "I'm sorry I mentioned her animal spirit." Said John.
"It's alright John I understand." Blair said, with a sad smile.
"Now that we have that all straightened out, can we get back to trying to find those children." Simon said, wanting to change the subject. (He didn't know if he could take John Smith's visions.) Simon thought to himself.
"Ok, what we have is a red house, a man with black hair, a spirit animal Hyena, and someone with dark hair who is a guide or was a guide to Alex." Blair said, going through everything that they know so far.
"He also worked for the government." Said John.
"That can be a lot of people." Blair said, becoming scared.
"Chief calm down, we'll help those kids and get the guy who wants revenge on us." Jim said, rubbing Blair's shoulders.
"Jim, don't tell me to calm down!" Yelled Blair, but then he remembered they had other people there. "Sorry."
"Blair we'll get them back." Simon said, in quite voice.
"You heard Doe this is my fault." Blair said, trying to stay calm.
"This is not your fault." Jim said, grabbing Blair's face. "None of it is your fault."
"How can you say that?" Blair said, looking at Jim with hurt in his eyes. “Because I know you and love you.” Jim said, giving Blair a kiss.
“But Jim if it wasn’t for me people wouldn't have found out about your abilities." Blair said, with tears in his eyes.
"And if it wasn't for you I'd be crazy or dead." Jim said, with love in his eyes.
"If it wasn't for me, no one would have known about your abilities and none of this would be happening." Blair said, starting to cry.
"Honey, listen to me. I love you and it wasn't your fault that your mom gave your thesis to that scum." Jim said, in a soft voice.
"I know, but it's still my fault that those kids were taken." Answered Blair.
"No, it's not your fault. The man that took those kids did it because of his beliefs." John said, understanding in his voice.
"He also wants revenge." Blair said, with a sad look in his eyes.
"Then we'll have to find out who this person is." Said Simon.
"How are we going to do that?" Asked Blair, becoming very tired from all the information that had come out so far.
"Go visit Alex." Answered Jim.
"Jim, she's in a coma." Blair said, not really wanting to see Alex.
"I'll go with you." Said John.
"Why, what are you going to do?" Blair asked, not intending to sound mean.
"I can go into her coma and find out what she knows." John answered, not realizing he he was getting more that he bargained for.
"Are you sure you want do that John?" Bruce asked, seeing the shocked and scared look on Blair's face.
"If we want to know about this man, then I'll have to." John answered, wanting to reassure Blair. "John you must know that Alex was mentally deranged." Blair warned.
"I'll be careful." John answered, with a smile.
"When do you want to go?" Asked Simon. {I thought we finally got passed Alex.} Simon thought to himself, as he remembered Blair's nightmares after being killed.
Location unknown
2:00 p.m.
In the meantime the stolen children were being prepared for the ritual to become one of Satan's worshippers, "What is going on here?" Asked the man in the red robe.
"We're getting them ready for the ritual, master." Answered the priests in silver.
"Didn't Peter tell you that we're holding it off?" The master asked, trying to hold his anger in. "No, why are we holding it off?" Asked the priest in gold.
"The great one wants the Guardian, Companion, and Seer to fail before these children are brought into the fold." Answered the master.
"Do you think...." Before the priest in brown asked, a blast of dark red light hit him square in the chest.
"Does anyone else want to ask a question?" The master said.
"No master, we will wait." Said the priest in gold.
"Good, I'll be in my rooms." The master said, walking toward his office he thought about ways to teach his slaves the proper way to follow orders.
("Don't hurt him, he's going to be part of all this.") A voice said in his head.
"How and when master." Asked the man.
("All in good time, but now you must stop them from going to see your Sentinel.") Said the voice. "What do you mean Master." Asked the man in the red robe.
("They're going to the institute, so Mr. Smith can go into your Sentinel's mind and find out about you.") Said the voice.
"What do you want me to do to stop them master?" Asked the servant.
("Give them a clue to keep them busy.") Answered the voice.
"Yes, master right away." The red robed man said. ("Soon I'll have a Champion, Companion, and Seer to work my will in the mortal world.") The voice sao ito itself as it watched the red robed man walk away.
Reaching his office the red robed man began to think how to get their minds off visiting Alex and back onto looking for the children. As he walked into his office he met his standing slave ready for his punishment.
"Why didn't you tell the priests about not doing the ritual?" Asked the master.
"I tried master, but they didn't want to listen to me." Answered the slave, with his head bowed down.
"I will forgive you this time, but next time you will pay." Said the master.
"I understand sir." The slave said softly, trying not to smile.
"What are we going to do now sir?"
"It's time for Mr. Smith and Detective Ellison to have another clue." Said the master.
"What kind of clue do you want them to get?" Inquired the slave.
"Something ease, but that won't give us away." Answered the master. {And while they're out looking for clues, I'll go and get my Sentinel out of the institute.}
("Leave her there. Let Mr. Smith into her mind.") The voice said in his head.
"But master that will tell them who we are." Said the red robed man
("It will also make him more vulnerable to my will.") Said the master.
"I understand master." Said the red robed man.
Cascade Museum
4:00 p.m.
Arriving at the Museum an hour later all four men walked in and were met by a guard who seemed to think they were up to something strange. "I'm sorry sirs, but we're closing shortly." Said the guard.
"We're looking for something officer." Jim said, taking out his badge and showing it to him.
"I'm sorry Detective go right ahead." The guard immediately let them pass.
Walking around they looked for anything out of place when John's cell phone went off, "Yes, Mr. Doe?" John said, answering his phone.
"You are good Mr. Smith. Now that you are at the Museum, go to where they hold the mummies and you'll find what you are looking for." Doe hung up.
"I guess we go to the Mummy section." Jim said, after hearing the conversation. On the way, John brushed against another man. (Children were kneeling at an altar being forced to pray, and behind them was someone in a red robe also praying. The prayers were in a strange language that John couldn't understand, but the man did; [Our lord who rules the underworld please hear our prayers. Take these children as an offering to you and let them serve you as we serve you.] The prayer lasted for an hour and then the children were taken to the bathroom where they are washed in steaming hot water...//
//The scene changed, and this time the man in the red robe was standing by an alter looking at a picture of a beautiful woman and crying, "Soon Alex, I'll have you back and have my revenge on the people who put you in that hospital. You should have come to me when you started having problems with you abilities." The man said, with tears running down his eyes. "But we both know that you were and always will be a proud person, even if it means dying or going crazy."//
"John you all right?" Bruce asked, when he saw that John wasn't moving.
"Where's the man that I bumped into?" John asked, looking around.
"What man?" Asked Blair, also looking around.
"The man I bumped into, he's one of the men who worships the devil." John answered, eyes searching.
"Is he part of all this?" Bruce asked, had his own head raised now.
"I'm sure he is." John answered, becoming worried. He then began to touch people he passed to see if he could find the man again. Every time he touched a person he would get a vision of them in either doing good, bad, or in-between.
The Sentinel Zone 11/18
Grabbing John's arm, "John stop, you'll wear yourself out." Bruce said, in a worried voice. "Bruce I have to find him, he's our only chance at finding those children." John said, his voice becoming desperate.
"John calm down. What did he look like?" Bruce asked, not liking seeing John so disorientated. "I never saw him, but he was always there with Doe. He's his servant." John explained, and then stopped looking when he realized the man or woman had already disappeared.
"I think we should go and see Alex." Blair said, but really hating the idea. (Why did I open my mouth?) He asked himself.
"Blair's right, maybe I could get something from her." John said, trying to get the image of those children out of his head.
"Let me call Simon and see if he got in touch with the institute." Jim said, taking out his cell phone.
"Banks." Simon answered.
"Simon it's me, did you get us permission to see Alex?" Asked Jim.
"Yes, they're expecting you." (I hope you don't regret see her again Jim.) Simon thought. "Simon we're going to be ok." Jim said, hearing Simon's trepidation.
knowknow Jim, but I'm worried about Blair and what his reaction will be when he sees Alex again." Simon sounded worried.
"I know Simon, I'm worried about him too." Jim said, in a tired voice.
"But I also believe in him." "I believe in him too, but she really did a number on him." Simon offered.
"I know Simon, but he's a strong man and he will get through this." Jim sounded confident.
"I'll call you later."
"Ok, be careful and call me when you know anything." Simon said, before hanging up.
"I will Simon." Jim said, before he hung up as well.
"What did Simon say?" Blair asked, as he followed Jim out of the Museum.
"That they're waiting for us at the Institute." Jim answered, picking up on Blair's raising hopes. "Chief, calm down everything is going to be fine."
"I know but it's been almost five years since I've last seen her." Blair said, getting into the truck. "Where was the last time you saw her?" Asked John, following Blair.
"In Peru." Blair answered, remembering how Jim almost died there. "That's where she lost her senses and went into her coma.
"What do you mean?" Bruce asked, in a confused voice. Before Blair could say anything he got a flash of Incacha, ["He may not know as of yet young one. He is not ready."] "I can't tell you as of yet." Blair said, after the vision.
"Why?" Asked John.
"You're not ready yet." Answered Blair.
Cascade PD
5:00 p.m.
After getting off the phone with Jim, Simon sat there and thought about all the things they'd been through together. He remembered Blair's first day and how he helped them with the Sun Rise Patriots. Simon tried not to think about the time Blair was kidnapped by Lash and almost killed. (He's been through so much,) he realized.
Cascade Institute for the Insane
6:00 p.m.
Before John could ask another question, Jim said, "We're here," and stopped the truck.
"Incacha told me it was too early." Blair said, as they walked toward the Hospital.
As they walked inside a nurse met them; "Can I help you gentlemen?" She asked.
"Yes, we have an appointment to see Alex Barnes." Answered Jim.
"You'll have to see Doctor Franklin first." The nurse said, trying not to show her disgust. (How can anyone want to see that creature was beyond her,) and the thought was clearly visible. "Please follow me." The nurse said, and led them towards a man's voice.
"Come in." A voice said, after the nurse knocked.
Opening the door all four men walked in to see middle-aged man sitting behind his desk, "Welcome gentlemen, please sit down." Invited the doctor.
"Thank you sir." Blair said, as they all took a seat.
"Can you tell me why you're here to see Ms. Barnes?" Asked Doctor Franklin. "It's highly unusual since no one has been here since she was brought here." He knew he was lying. (There has only been one man to visit her, but he knew if he told he would die.) Thought the doctor. "What about family?" Jim asked, picking up the doctors raising heartbeat.
"We don't know if Ms. Barnes has any family." Answered Doctor Franklin, trying not to show that he was nervous.
"Can we see her please?" Jim asked, smelling the fear coming off of the older man.
"Of course, please follow me." Franklin said, as he got up and walked toward the door.
A minute later they reached the room where Alex was being held, and that was when Jim began to feel that strange sensation he always felt when he came near Alex. That's when he saw the spotted Jaguar and a Hyena standing looking at him with what looked like hate in their eyes. "Jim, you all right?" Blair asked, when Jim spotted walking.
"I'll tell you later." Jim said, as they began to walk again. After the doctor opened the door, let them in, and then left, Jim said, "I saw her spirit guide and that of her guide." Watching as they Hyena gave the Jaguar a kiss and then walked into the wall.
"Do you think he's here?" Asked John, also seeing the Hyena and Jaguar.
"No, but he was here not long ago." Answered Jim.
As they walked in they saw Alex in the far corner of the room rocking and humming to her self. When they started to walk toward her, Alex began to whimper but would stop when they stopped. "I think she senses Jim, which is confusing and scaring her." Said Blair.
"I'll go by myself." John said, walking towards Alex.
"John are you sure you're doing the right thing?" Asked Bruce.
"I have no other choice." John said, as he reached Alex. That was when he heard her whispering, "Please don't hurt me."
"I'm not going to hurt you Alex, I just need your help to find two young children." John whispered, in a soft calming voice.
Then without saying another word John slowly touched her head. (The first thin he saw was Alex standing by a bed looking down at a man with dark blond hair, she then turned toward John, [I loved him you know, but he only wanted one thing from me.] Alex turned back towards the bed, //Lee, I can't do this any more. // Alex said, trying to hold back her tears.
She turned back towards John, [I tried to love him, even when I found out he worked for the CIA, but then he began to worship the devil. When I tried to stop him I learned he'd always worshipped the devil.] Alex faced the bed again. //What do you mean you can't do this anymore? // Lee asked, in an angry voice.
//I can't pray to someone who kills children. // Alex answered, trying not to show her fear.
//Why not? He gave you the abilities to see, hear, and taste, touch, and smell better then anyone else. // Lee said, grabbing Alex by the hair.
//No, I got those abilities after spending time in solitary confinement. // Alex protested.
Without saying a word Lee slapped her across the face, //You will respect the Master or die. // Lee said angrily. //The master has a job for us. //
Alex finally turned back towards John, [I didn't have a choice, and it was either them or me.] Alex said, in a sad voice. She then turned back towards Lee, // what do I have to do? // Alex asked, in a scared voice.
//Go to Cascade and find out if the Sentinel there is a threat to the master and us. // Lee said, giving Alex a kiss.
//What is a Sentinel? // Alex asked, in a surprised voice. //What are you going to do? // Alex looked at John. [If I knew now what I should have known then, none of this would have happened.] Alex said, before turning back to Lee.
That was when John broke the contact with Alex, but before they could ask him any questions John put his hand back on Alex's head.
//This time he saw a red brick house with people coming and going every hour, but for some reason he couldn't get the number to the house. John then felt a presence with him, turning around he saw that it was Alex.
"Hello, Alex." John said softly.
"Why are you here?" Alex asked, in a weary voice.
"I'm trying to find two children that your guide had taken." John answered, with a reassuring smile.
"I don't have a guide; I never had a guide!" Alex yelled, she sounded agitated.
"What about Lee?" John asked, not realizing that an agitated Alex was a dangerous Alex.
Without any warning Alex attacked John, but before she could do any harm Incacha appeared in front of her, {You were doing so well child, but if you attack the
Seer you will go back to the person you have been.} Incacha said, with a sad smile.
{I'm sorry Teacher, but he called Lee my guide.} Alex said, with her head bent in respect.
Incacha then turned toward John, {I know why you're here Seer, but she is not ready to come out of her trance.}
"What do you mean?" John asked, confused.
Sitting down on a fallen log, Incacha said {Join me seer and I will explain.} Sitting down next to Incacha, John waited for him to explain.
{Since she was a child, Alex has had her senses but no one cared that she was suffering. So she grew up not knowing why she was different and being treated like something was wrong with her. Then when she was old enough she left home and got involved with people, who realized that she was different, so they decided to use her abilities. Over time she met Lee and her senses settled down, which she thought meant they were to be together. } Explained Incacha, while looking at Alex, with a sad smile.
"Then why did she try to kill Andarco?" Asked John.
{She didn't, that was her twin sister, who she meet in prison.} Answered Incacha.
"What about the time in Peru? " Asked John.
{That was Alex, after the evil one and her twin worked on her mind for a couple of days.} Incacha answered, looking at Alex, who was meditating.
{She hated what she did, but after everything that happened to her, she was very confused and very hurt. That is why she tried to end the world} Incacha explained, giving John a sad smile.
"Can she help us find the children?" Asked John, looking up.
"They are at 666 Jordan Street. That is where he always takes the children." Alex answered softly, before going back to meditating.
The Sentinel Zone 12/18
{Now that you know where the children are, you must prepare so you can stop them.} Said Incacha.
"What do you mean get ready?" John asked.
{The power you are going up against, wants you to fail, but something more powerful wants you to succeed, and the only way you will do that is if you believe in yourself and the people with you.} Incacha said, before he and Alex disappeared. //
Seeing John come out of his vision, Bruce walked up to him, "John, you alright?" He asked.
"Yes, I know where the children are." John said, looking at Alex with sympathy in his eyes.
"Can we leave now?" Blair asked, hating the feeling he was getting from Alex.
Turning toward Blair, "She wasn't the one who killed you." John said.
"What do you mean she wasn't the one who tried to kill me?" Blair asked, in a surprised voice.
"They had someone who looked like her, try to kill you." John answered, turning back towards Alex.
"And how do you know that?" Jim asked, also surprised.
"Incacha told me, while I was trying to get the information from Alex." John answered, with a tired voice.
"What about Peru?" Blair asked, not knowing what to believe.
"After everything that was done to her, she just wanted everything to end." Explained John.
"What should we do then?" Asked Jim, trying to understand what was going on.
"She's in the spirit world, learning to use her powers, and when she knows everything that she needs to know she will come back." Answered John.
"Would she be able to function without a guide when she comes out?" Blair asked, in scared voice. He didn't know if he could handle Alex coming back, not after she tried to kill him. Even though John said, it wasn't her but someone who looked like her, he wasn't sure what to believe. He watched the figure on the bed.
That was when Alex raised her head looked Blair straight in the eyes, "I'm sorry Blair."
As soon as Alex said those two little words, Blair began to back away towards the door but before he could run away he felt a hand around his shoulders. Looking up he saw that it was Jim with a look that Blair wished wasn't there.
"Baby, listen to me she can longer hurt you." Jim said in a sympathetic voice.
"I'm not scared she's going to hurt me, what I'm scared is that I won't be able to forgive her for what she did." Blair answered, equally sadly.
"No one said you have to forgive her." Jim said, trying to reassure him.
"Jim you heard John, it was someone else who killed me."
"Blair, John has some special abilities, but all that nonsense about the devil being able to change someone's identity is a little too much." Said Jim.
"Haven't you ever heard of twins?" Blair said, in an angry voice.
"So her twin is also a Sentinel?" Jim asked, trying to control his temper.
"No, she just screwed her over." Blair said sarcastically.
Before Jim could say anything that would hurt Blair's feeling, Bruce spoke up. "Guys, I think you've all been screwed over."
"What do you mean by that?" Asked Blair.
"She might not have killed you, but she did try to release a deadly nerve gas. No matter how she was treated over the years trying to kill other people is considered being crazy." Explained Bruce.
"Bruce, I never said she wasn't. What I was told was she was working on her problems, and as soon as she works out her problems she will be able to face the world again." John explained, wishing that he could help Jim and Blair over their hatred of Alex.
That was when Blair realized that someone wanted them to get into a fight so they wouldn't be able to find the children. Deciding that he wasn't going to let them win Blair took a deep breath and started walking back toward Alex's room.
"Blair where are you going?" Asked Jim.
"I just realized that Lee and who ever he works for wants us to fight, so we go after the children." Blair answered, as he walked into the room. "And I'm not going to let them win."
"What are you going to do?" Jim asked, in a suspicious voice.
"I'm going to forgive her, and then meditate so I can go into the spirit world and talk to her." Answered Blair.
"Chief, do you think that's a good idea?" Jim asked, in a worried voice.
"If I'm ever going to feel safe again, I need to forgive her." Blair said, wanting Jim to understand.
"Are you ready to forgive her?" Jim asked, in a concerned voice.
"If I want to continue with my life, then yes I'm ready to forgive her." Blair said, as walked towards Alex. He then sat down next to her and began to breath in and out starting his meditation, {Welcome young Shaman.} A voice said from behind him. Turning around Blair came face to face with Incacha, and with him was Alex looking very scared.
// Thank you for meeting me great one. // Blair said, while looking at Alex.
//You shouldn't be here now, young shaman. She isn't ready to see you again. // Said Incacha.
//I came so I could tell her that I forgive her for what she did. // Said Blair.
//Why do you forgive her young one? //Asked Incacha
//So I can go on with my life. // Answered Blair.
That was when the most amazing thing happened Alex seemed to come back to herself; she raised her head and gave Blair a dazzling smile, //You have done well young one, that is what she has been waiting for, but now your Sentinel has to forgive her. Said Incacha.
//I don't know if he can, but I'll ask. // Blair said, before fading away.
Blair came back from his spirit walk with a smile on his face, "Blair, you alright?" Asked Jim.
"I'm fine, I almost feel whole now." Blair answered, giving Jim a smile. "You should forgive her also."
"I don't think I can forgive her for killing you." Said Jim.
"Jim, the only way we can go on with our lives is to forgive her." Said Blair.
"I've gone on with my life." Jim said, in a defensive voice.
"You still have nightmares about me drowning." Blair said in a soft voice.
"Will it make you feel better for me to forgive her?" Jim asked, hating this discussion.
"Yes, and it will make you feel better too." Blair said, with a loving smile.
With a sigh Jim nodded and let Blair lead him toward the couch where they began their breathing exercise. After a few minutes they both felt the change in there area and knew that they were on their spirit walk.
(//Welcome young ones. // Incacha said, Alex was still with him, avoiding looking at Jim. With a sigh Jim walks up to Incacha and Alex, when they all felt a very weird disturbance in the air.
//Some one doesn't want you to forgive Poco Gata. // Said Incacha, as he looks around.
Taking a deep breath, //Alex I forgive your for killing Blair and trying to end the world. // Jim said, wishing he was anywhere else but here.
Raising her head Alex gave Jim a very beautiful smile, //Thank you Enrique, I know that this was hard for you and I really appreciate it. //
//It is hard for both of us to forgive you, but we understand that you were used by one that thought he was your guide. // Blair said, in an understanding voice.
//He was the first person who was ever nice to me, and when I was near him my senses stabilized. // Alex answered, with tears in her eyes.
//Is that why you wanted to end the world? // Jim asked. That was when he realized that if Blair hadn't found him or someone else got a hold of him, he would be in Alex's position now, which was a very scary thought.
//Alex, how and when did you met Lee? // Blair asked.
//I guess it would be after he left the CIA, but before meeting you. I think that's how he knew about Sentinels. // Answered Alex.
//Master when will she be able to leave the spirit plane? // Blair asked.
//When she has learned more about her abilities and her are important. // Answered Incacha. {It's time for you to go back, and find the children. Remember the Seer and his guide are the key.} Incacha said, as they faded from the spirit world.
Coming out of their meditation, "Don't you feel better?" Asked Blair.
"You know, I do." Jim said, in a clear voice.
"Good, now lets find those children." Blair said, looking at Alex, who was no longer humming but looking at them with something close to recognition.
"What happened?" Bruce asked, when he saw that they had come back.
"We gave her our forgiveness, and I think now she'll be able to forgive herself and come back." Blair answered, giving Alex a smile.
"I think we should head back to the station and see if we can get any information on where Lee is." Jim said, watching Alex react to Blair's smile.
"Isn't Lee supposed be in prison?" Blair asked, becoming slowly uncomfortable watching Alex's face.
"He should, but it appears he isn't." Jim said, feeling an urge to protect Blair.
"We should go, and see what we can find out." John said, picking up the tension in the room.
"Thank you for helping me Blair." Alex said, before they left.
"You're welcome, hopefully you'll find yourself a guide that will help you." Blair said, and walked out.
"Wow, that was weird." Bruce said, as they walked outside.
"I guess her coming out of the coma, triggered Jim's Sentinel abilities to protect me." Blair offered as they got into the truck.
"What do you mean protect you?" Bruce asked, in a curious voice.
"When a guide is in danger, Sentinels go into Blessed Protector mode. It means that they will protect their guide to the death." Explained Blair.
"Wow, that's heavy." Bruce said.
"Yeah, it is." Blair said, while looking at Jim. ('What is he think) Th) Thought Blair.
Jim was thinking about Alex as they drove to the police station. (I don't know why I agreed to go on that spirit walk. Forgiving her made me feel better, but it also brought her out of her coma. What's going to happen now?)
Cascade PD
7:00 p.m.
Arriving at the Cascade PD all four men took the elevator up to the seventh floor; as soon as they entered Major Crimes they heard Simon yelling. "Ellison, Sandburg my office NOW!"
The Sentinel Zone 13/18
"You wanted to see us sir?" Jim asked, once they were all inside.
"Yes, what did you learn?" Asked Simon.
"Lee Brackett is out of prison, and he's the one who took those kids. He knew Alex and was her guide. Alex also has a sister and she's the one who killed Blair, but Alex was the one who wanted to use the gas.
"After everything that had happened to her she just wanted everything to end and stop hurting." Blair explained.
"Do we know where to find Lee?" Asked Simon, in a shocked voice. "Why weren't we notified that he was let out of prison?"
"We have the address of where he is, but I don't know why we weren't notified he was let out, I'll call around and find out." Answered Jim.
"Do that after you get those kids back." Said Simon.
He then snatched up the phone and called the S.W.A.T captain to get his people ready.
Lee's home
666 Jordan Street
7:00 p.m.
At the same time as the police were getting ready to bust Lee, Lee was preparing the kids for the final stage of serving the devil. What he didn't know was that the person he was talking to wasn't the devil but an evil Sentinel working with telepathy who wanted to get rid of Jim, so they could get Blair for themselves. They'd gotten John involved so they could get ride of him also, because they knew that John would be able to find out about their plans if they should ever meet.
"They found out about Lee." The psychic told the person sitting with them at an unknown location.
"I guess we leave and try again another time."
"Aren't you mad?"
"No, just annoyed."
"You aren't going to warn Lee?"
"No, let him get out of this himself."
Meanwhile back at the house, "Master, we are almost ready." Said the servant.
"Good, soon I will have everything I always wanted." Lee said, with an evil laugh.
“When you do you want to begin?” Asked the servant.
“We’ll begin early tomorrow morning.” Lee answered, before going to his room.

Major Crimes
8:00 p.m.
As Simon, Walt, Jim, Blair, John, and Bruce were going over the plans, Joel walked in carrying blueprints of the house that Lee was staying in.
“Joel, what do you have?” Simon asked, when he saw him.
"The blue-prints for the house."
"Good, we'll go over it today and storm the house tomorrow morning." Said Simon.
As they planned an attack John was going over his visions to see if you could find anything that would help the police. He went through his vision of the house to see if he could find anything that would hurt the police.
It was two hours later around ten o’clock that everyone finally decided to call it a night and head home, "John, Bruce, and Walt should come home with us, as it’s too far away to the hotel." Jim said, as they were putting everything away.
"That would be great, thank you." John said, trying not to yawn.
"Thank you, but I need to get to the hotel I have to call my wife." Said Walt.
"Ok, Walt we'll see you tomorrow." John said, before leaving.
It was around eleven o'clock when Jim, Blair, John, and Bruce arrived at the loft and it took Blair fifteen minutes to prepare his old room for them. Blair then went upstairs to get some rest, but when he got into bed he felt Jim's arms go around him.
"What are you doing?" Blair whispered, moving Jim's hand.
"What does it look like I'm doing?" Jim answered, playing with Blair's nipples.
"Baby, please I'm tired." Blair moaned, as Jim rolled his nipple.
Jim didn't say anything he just began to play with Blair's nipples until he heard him moan, and then turned him on his back. He began to kiss and lick down Blair's body, until he reached his cock.
"Oh, god yes baby right there." Blair moaned, feeling Jim's mouth around his cock, playing with it, and stroking it; until Blair thought he would burst from the sensation.
Then slowly Jim began to kiss his way up Blair’s body slowly running his hand up and down Blair's torso and over his groin. Jim began stroking him, waiting for the right opportunity to fill Blair. Taking a deep breath Jim could smell Blair’s arousal, so he pressed his face against his lover's stomach inhaled his scent. Blair smelled fresh and spicy at the same time, which drove Jim wild with want.
Blair felt his cock responding to the Jim's kisses causing him to moan from wanting the feel of Jim inside him. “Please take me.” Blair moaned in desperation.
The moaning and the writhing from Blair caused Jim’s cock to stiffen as the blood rushed to his pelvic area and in a few minutes a wet spot appeared over the head
As Jim was kissing his way up Blair’s body he could feel his lover’s prick lengthening, thickening beneath him. His own cock stirred up again, also growing heavier and more sensitive. Blair bit his lip to keep the sound from escaping, so he wouldn’t awaken the two people downstairs. If Jim didn't release him soon, he was certain he was going to come before Jim could take him.
Blair didn’t know if he could take any more of Jim’s torment and was about do something, when he felt something cold and wet at his hole.
“Yeeessss!” Blair moaned, felling the cold wetness of Jim’s fingers.
“God, baby you’re beautiful.” Jim said, as he kissed Blair.
"Fuck me." God, he wanted it so badly, wanted to feel Jim's thick cock buried in his ass. "Fuck me," he repeated but there was no need as the older man was more than willing, and ready to mount him without further delay.
He lifted his legs and laid them over Jim's shoulders, reached down and held onto his lover’s hips. Jim held him in place as his body accustomed itself to being filled, and then Jim slowly withdrew over and over again making Blair’s toes curl.
“Faster, I want it faster.” Blair moaned, as he tried to push himself up onto Jim.
Hearing Blair that he wanted it faster Jim began to rock in and out him, back up inside Blair’s hole and then changing direction again. The thick tube of meat plugging into him, causing Blair to involuntarily tense his muscles, which held Jim in place for a moment before surrendering and allowing the older man to thrust and withdraw as he pleased. Blair's hole was so slick, so slippery, so warm, sucking the length of his cock as he pulled away and accepting him as he plunged forward, that Jim lost himself in the motion of fucking.
Leaning forward, he supported himself on his hands and drove his dick into the man's hole furiously for a while, then slowed down, and with his cock buried to the hilt, merely rotated his hips. He could tell that Blair was pleased by the way the man smiled at first, and then his mouth fell open and all he could do was moan. Jim pulled out completely amidst complaints from his lover but the sounds of complaint quickly turned to ones of contentment as Jim turned him over and entered him once more.
As he was turned Blair’s cock was now hidden in the bedclothes, hard and aching, causing him to groan into the comforter as Jim fucked his ass with abandon. Each thrust jolted him. He raised his head and gave a cry, clenching his cheeks. Causing Jim to gasp in surprise, the tightening of Blair’s hole around his cock sent him barreling headlong into his orgasm. Pumping his hips, he came, shooting his load up Blair’s moist tunnel. He collapsed on top, still inside him, and tried to catch his breath.
When Jim was able to breathe again he slipped out of Blair and fell onto the bed from exhaustion. What they didn’t realize was that John and Bruce could hear them downstairs. At first John pretended to be asleep, but when Bruce began to kiss him he couldn’t help but moan from the wonderful feeling.
“John, will you make love to me?” Asked Bruce, in-between kisses.
“Are you sure Bruce?” John asked, as he kissed Bruce’s neck.
“Without a doubt.” Bruce answered, with a smile.
“I want you to turn around.” John says, as he kissed Bruce on the lips.
“But first.” John kissed Bruce’s lips, eyes, his ears, and again his lips. He kissed his way down to Bruce’s nipples, started to play with them.
Meanwhile, John’s hands begin to play with Bruce’s body. That’s when he felt his lover’s prick lengthening, thickening beneath his hand. His own cock stirred up again also growing heavier and more sensitive. John decided to taste Bruce’s cock, so he began to kiss his way down until he reached the big long cock. Taking the fat meat into his mouth John began to suck Bruce off, until Bruce thought he was going to explode.
“Oh, gods John take me!” Yelled Bruce.
Licking his way back up. “Turn around.” John whispered, into Bruce’s ear.
Without a word Bruce turned onto his stomach and waited for John to make love to him. John began to lick his way down Bruce’s back until he reached his ass, where he began to play with his hole.
“Oh, John fuck me, please!” Bruce yelled.
With out a word John brought out a tube of lube and began to apply it to Bruce’s hole; which caused him to writhe and moan from the wonderful feeling. Then when John was sure that Bruce was ready, he licked his way back up and then pressed himself against Bruce’s back and buttocks.
Bruce reached around and gripped John's hip, pulling him in closer, the man's cock nestled between his butt cheeks. He rubbed his behind against John’s and sighed. Bruce could feel his lover hardening. Feel him self-stiffening as well. John then opened Bruce’s legs, spat upon his palm, and encircled his cock. It fairly leapt in his grip. He eased into Bruce as slowly as possible so as not to hurt him, but the feel of someone inside him made Bruce cringe in pain. Feeling this, John stopped what he was doing and waited for Bruce to relax.
John realized the problem, took Bruce’s cock in his hand and began to play with it. When John felt Bruce relax he began to push back in, but had to stop again, barely inside. After a while he began to push back in, but this time he didn’t stop, he began to thrust in and out of Bruce.
“Oh, yes baby more.” Bruce whispered, as John moved inside him.
The Sentinel Zone 14/18
Hearing those beautiful words John began to fuck his ass with abandon. Each thrust jolted him. He raised his head and gave a cry, clenching his cheeks causing his muscles to tighten around John’s cock. The tightening caused John to gasp in surprise, which barreled him headlong into an orgasm. Pumping his hips, he came, shooting his load into Bruce's moist tunnel. He collapsed on top, still inside him, and tried to catch his breath.
“Thank you that was beautiful.” Bruce said, after catching his breath.
“You don’t have to thank me, I love you.” John answered, giving Bruce a kiss.
“I love you too.” Bruce said, as he cuddled closer John.
That was when they heard a yell come from upstairs. Not knowing what it was they both jumped out of bed and ran upstairs; where they found Blair and Jim just finishing having sex.
“Sorry, thought something happened.” Bruce said, when Blair and Jim looked at them.
“It’s all right, I guess I was a little too loud.” Blair said, with a shy smile.
“That’s ok, we’ll be going downstairs now.” John said, pushing Bruce down the stairs.
“John quite pushing.” Bruce said, as he went down.
“What is wrong with you?”
“I had a vision when we met them the first time.” John answered, as he got into bed.
“What was it about?” Bruce asked, in a worried voice.
He had never seen John this nervous in all the time they had been friends.
Taking a deep breath, “When I shook Blair’s hand, I saw all four of us in bed together.” Answered John, not even looking at Bruce.
“Do you want it to happen?” Bruce asked, trying to control the tremor in his voice.
“If it does happen, we all end up together and eventually have children.” Answers John.
“Really, how many?” Bruce asks, with a smile.
“Four, all biological.” John answers, seeing the smile.
“What will happen if we don’t end up with them?” Bruce wonders out loud.
“I don’t know, but what I do know is that I love you no matter what.” John said, and kissed him.
“I love you too, but I always wanted children.” Bruce said with a smile.
“Even if it means ending up with two other people as lovers?” Asked John.
“It doesn’t have to be that way, we can start one of our own.” Answered Bruce.
When John didn't say anything, “You do want a family with me, don’t you?”
“Yes, but I don’t want them to be brought up in that small town.” John answered, while thinking of Little Johnny.
“We’ll move somewhere, and start a whole new life.” Bruce said, with a yawn.
“You’re right, but we'll talk about this later we should get some sleep.” John said, before lying down and closing his eyes.
Jim and Blair were so into making love that they didn't realize Blair had yelled out, until John and Bruce had come upstairs. When they saw what was going on they knew they'd made a mistake, and that was when John realized that his vision might come true.
“Sorry, thought something happened.” Bruce said, when Blair and Jim looked at them.
“It’s all right, I guess I was a little to loud.” Blair said, with a shy smile.
“That’s ok, we’ll be going downstairs now.” John said, pushing Bruce down the stairs.
"That was strange." Blair said, when the men left.
"Shhhh, they're talking." Jim said, as he listened in.
"Jim, don't listen in on their conversation."
"There's something about John's reaction that felt weird." Jim says, continuing to listen
“John quit pushing.” Bruce said, as he walked down the stairs.
“What is wrong with you?”
“I had a vision when we met them the first time.” John answered, as he got into bed.
“What was it about?” Bruce asked, in a worried voice.
He has never seen John this nervous in all the time they had been friends. Taking a deep breath, “When I shook Blair’s hand, I saw all four of us in bed together.”
Answered John, not even looking at Bruce.
“Do you want it to happen?” Bruce asked, trying to control the tremor in his voice.
“If it does happen, we end up all together and eventually have children.” Answered John.
“Really, how many?” Bruce asked smiling.
“Four, all biological.” John answered, seeing the smile.
“What will happen if we don’t end up with them?” Bruce wondered out loud.
“I don’t know, but what I do know is that I love you no matter what.” John said and kissed him.
“I love you too, but I always wanted children.” Bruce said, with a smile.
“Even if it means ending up with two other people as lovers?” Asked John.
“It doesn’t have to be that way, we can start one of our own.”
When John didn’t say anything, “You do want a family with me, don’t you?”
“Yes, but I don’t want them to be brought up in that small town.” John answered, while thinking of Little Johnny.
“We’ll move somewhere and start a whole new life.” Bruce said, with a yawn.
“You’re right, but we'll talk about this later we should get some sleep.”
"So what did you hear?" Blair asked, after a while.
"It seems John had a vision of all four of us being together, and even having children." Jim answered trying to understand the concept of all four of them being together and even having children.
"What should we do?" Blair asked, wondering if he could be with two other men.
"We should do nothing, let them come to us." Jim answered, in a tired voice.
"I guess you're right." Blair said, before he went to sleep.
The Loft
7:00 a.m.
The next morning just before the alarm clock went off, Jim rolled and turned it off then he shifted back toward Blair. As he watched Blair sleep Jim tried to figure out what to do about what he'd heard last night.
Just then the telephone range, "Ellison." Jim said into the phone.
"Jim, when are you coming in?" Asked Simon.
"We'll be there in an hour." Jim answered, getting up.
"Good, as soon as you get here we're going to attack the house and get those children." Simon said, before hanging up.
Jim hung up as well and walked back toward the bed. With a loving touch he nudged Blair awake.
"What, what is it?" Blair asked, in a sleepy voice.
"Simon, just called he wants us there in an hour." Jim said, as he kissed Blair on the lips.
"Ok, give me five minutes." Blair said, as he got up.
While Blair was getting ready, Jim went downstairs to tell John and Bruce that Simon called and that they had to get to the station. Before Jim could knock on the door, it opened to show John standing there already dressed. At first Jim was surprised, almost speechless.
"How did you know?" He asked. Before John could say anything, Bruce offered his own comment from behind him.
"It's beyond explanation."
"I guess it's the same as when I know someone is coming upstairs." Said Jim.
"I'm sure it is." John said, with a smile.
"Is everyone ready?” Blair asked, coming downstairs
“Yeah lets go.” Jim said, grabbing his keys.
"Jim you alright?" Blair asked, as they got into the truck.
"John also has sixth sense." Answered Jim.
"How do you know?" Blair asked, in a surprised voice.
"He was already dressed when I came downstairs." Answered Jim.
"His Dead Zone is active, which means he knows what's going to happen." Explained Blair, as they arrived at the station.
"Am I right John?"
"I don't know Blair, but it's something like that." John answered, self-consciously.
Cascade PD
8:00 a.m.
An hour later they arrived at the police station, and then took the elevator up to the seventh floor. When they walked into Major Crimes at least thirty swat members and the bomb squad met them.
“Ellison, Sandburg you’re here good.” Simon said, when he saw them.
“What’s going on Simon?” Jim asked, as he looked around.
“We’re getting ready to strike Lee’s house.” Simon answered, showing them the layout.
(As John looked over the layout he accidentally touched the picture of the house.
//"Why did you pick him and that Sentinel for your purpose? " A voice in the shadows asked.
"I needed someone who knew Sentinel Ellison and they were a perfect choice. " Answered another voice in the darkness.
"You thought Alex Barnes was a perfect choice, didn’t you read her file?"
The first voice smiled, "Of course I did, that’s why I picked her."
"What would you have done if she were able to get the guide away from Ellison, what then?"
"Killed her and then taken the guide."
"What about Ellison?"
"If he got in the way, he would have died too."
"So that’s why you had me pretend to be the devil. "
"That’s right that was the only way he was going to do what I wanted. Besides I needed John Smith here, he has become too good at what he does. "
"Have you ever met him? "
"No, but if I want the government to be taken down, I need to get rid of him."//)
“John, you alright?” Blair asked, when he saw John give himself a shake.
“Yeah, I’m fine. I’ve just had a glimpse of two people talking about using Lee and Alex to try and get Blair.” Answered John.
“So why did they want you here.” Blair asked, trying not to show that he was scared.
“I’m becoming very good with my visions, and this person was afraid that I would find out about them.” Answered John.
“Do you know if it’s a man or woman?” Jim asked.
“I’m not sure, it could be a man. He or she has also teamed up with a telepath.” Answered John, wishing he never had that vision.
“Why would they need a telepath?” Simon asked, a little suspiciously.
“He pretended to be the devil, so Lee would do everything the Sentinel said.” John answered, watching for a reaction.
“What do you mean?” Blair asked, trying not to lose his cool.
“It seems there’s a Sentinel who wanted you, so he decided to use Lee and Alex as pawns.” Answered John.
The Sentinel Zone 15/18
Before anyone could say anything, Blair yelled and then ran out of Major Crimes with Jim right behind him.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know he was going to react like that.” John said, in a sad voice.
“It’s all right. Blair’s been through a lot and I guess finding out that another Sentinel wanted him, and was willing to hurt children and his friends just got to him.” Simon said, with understanding in his voice. (I hope Jim catches up to him.) Thought Simon.
As soon as Blair heard that another Sentinel wanted him, and would do anything to get him he couldn’t take it any more.
“WHY ME, WHY DOES IT HAPPEN TO ME!” Blair screamed as he ran out of the police station.
Not far behind him was Jim, "CHIEF wait!" Jim yelled, running after him. Before Blair could get any further, Jim caught up to him and had to wrestle Blair to the ground to stop him from going anywhere.
"Chief calm down, everything is going to be fine." Jim said, in a soothing voice.
"HOW CAN YOU SAY EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT? DIDN'T YOU HEAR JOHN, ANOTHER SENTINEL WAS AFTER ME AND HAD CHILDREN KIDNAPPED!" Blair screamed, trying to break free from Jim's grasp.
"Baby listen to me, this is not your fault." Said Jim in a calm voice.
"Did you know this was going to happen?"
"No." Blair answered, with tears in his eyes
"Then you have nothing to feel bad about." Jim said, in a reassuring voice.
"And how do you think John must feel, knowing someone wants to get rid of him because of his abilities?"
"I know you're right, it's just hard to know that there's atinetinel out there who would hurt innocent children just to get to me and John." Blair said in sad voice.
"I understand baby, but you can't take the blame for all this. I have a feeling it's been planned out for a long time." Jim tried desperately trying to be reassuring.
"Do you think we'll be able to save those kids?" Blair asked, in a hopeful voice.
"I know we will." Jim said, as they walked back toward the station.
As they walked into Major Crimes all eyes turned towards them, which made Blair self-conscious. He tried to hide behind Jim but he wouldn't let him and pushed Blair forward to show that he wasn't ashamed.
"Is everything ok?" Simon asked, as they walked in.
"Yeah, I just guess finding out that another Sentinel did all this because he wanted me just got too much." Blair answered, trying not to panic.
"Chief calm down, if you start to panic you'll hyperventilate." Jim said, picking up Blair's racing heart.
"I…. I c…. can't h…. help it." Blair said, trying to control his breathing.
"Blair if you don't calm down, I'm taking you home." Jim said, while rubbing Blair's back in soothing manner.
"Give me a minute." Blair said, sitting down and he putting his head between his legs. While Blair was trying to get control of his breathing, the rest of the team were going over the strike plan of the house.
Lee's House
7:00 a.m.
As soon as everyone had gotten up, they began to prepare for the ritual to induct the children into worshipping the devil. The first thing that was done was wash the children in scalding hot water, then have them pray at the alter, until they were ready for the sacrifice.
Kneeling at the alter, "Oh great master, hear your humble servant. We are ready to sacrifice these children to you." Lee offered.
When nothing happened Lee tried again, but there was no answer, which made everyone very nervous. They didn't know what it meant when their master didn't return an answer to one of their sacrifices.
"Master, what is going on?" Asked a man in a silver robe. 'Why won't the great one answer us?'
"I don't know." Lee answered, becoming very concerned.
This had never happened to him before every time he called his master he would answer him. Even from the beginning his master answered him, even for little things that Lee needed.
"He's mad at you, you did something to displease our lord." Said a panicking man in a red robe.
"I didn't do anything." Lee said, in a different voice.
"Then why isn't he answering you?"
"I don't know." Lee answered, becoming very scared
Cascade PD
Major Crimes
9:00 a.m.
"Is everyone ready?" Simon asked, while putting on his Kevlar vest.
"Ready as we'll ever be." Jim answered, making sure that Blair's vest was on.
"I don't think John and Bruce should come with us." Walt said, also getting ready.
"And why shouldn't we come along?" Asked Bruce, in a surprised voice.
"Because you aren't cops." Answered Walt.
"Blair isn't a cop." Said John.
"No, but he's been doing this longer and Jim needs him." Answered Simon.
"You're going to need me." John said, getting a flash of the children not wanting to go to any of the cops. They would only go to him because they knew whom he was.
"Why?" Asked Walt.
"The children will be to scared of going to anyone but me." Explained John.
"Fine, but you better watch yourself." Said Simon.
"I will captain." John said, with a smile.
It took them two hours to get to Lee's house and another hour to set up, making sure they didn't make any noise. Finally Simon gave the word for themmakemake the strike. Five minutes later everyone in the house was surrounded, handcuffed, and made to sit down on the floor to wait for Simon to come in.
A few minutes later Simon, Jim, Blair, John, and Walt walked into the house.
“Where’s Lee Brackett?” Simon asked, as he looked around. When no one answered Simon had everyone go through the house looking for Lee and the children. Jim and Blair found them down in the basement just as Lee was about to finish the ritual.
“Lee freeze!” Jim yelled, and drew his gun.
“No, you can’t stop me. My master will have these children!” Lee cried, just before raising the knife.
“Lee don’t, I’ll shoot you if I have to.” Jim said, took the safety off his gun and cocked it.
“I must so I can get back in favor with my master.” Lee said, as the knife came down towards the little boy.
Before Lee could plunge the knife into the boy’s heart, Jim shot him in the arm, knocking the knife from his hand. As Lee was writhing in pain, Jim and Blair untied the children and led them upstairs where they were to be met by John. Without speaking they gave both children to John so he could calm them, and then went downstairs to get Lee.
When they walked in Jim realized instantly that Lee had gone, so he expanded his sense of hearing to see if he could pick up any sound.
“He’s not here.” Jim said, after a minute of listening.
“How can that be?” Blair asked, in a surprised voice.
“I don’t know there must be a secret passage around here somewhere.”
Jim said, as he walked around feeling for air.
A minute later he felt air coming from what looked like a wall, so Jim began to feel to see if there was a way to open it. After a minute he found a latch embedded into the wall, pushing the latch it opened a secret passage.
“Can you see where it goes?” Asked Blair, as he looked inside.
"No, it's too long." Jim said, as he expanded his eyesight and hearing.
"Do you think we should go in?" Asked Blair.
"No, we'll warn all the hospitals and then wait for him to show up." Answered Jim.
"What do we do if he goes somewhere else?" Asked Blair.
"Chief don't worry we'll find him." Jim said, and kissed him.
Meanwhile, upstairs Simon was getting everyone processed so they could be taken to jail. One of the robed men looked likely to try something and escape. Before he felt someone's hand on his shoulder. Looking around he came face to face with one of the men that were helping the children, but when he tried to get away from him, he felt a strange tingling go through him.
John was looking after the children when he got a strange feeling that one of the robed men was going to try something. Making sure that the children were all right, John went to the black robed man and put his hand on his shoulder.
(John found himself and the man in an old house another man sits on a chair drinking and watching television. The black robed man turned toward
John, [He could never keep a job, so he had my mom work.] He then turned back towards the man in the chair, //Daddy, today is mommy's birthday. //
The black robed man said, in a child-like voice. [Do you think I give a fuck if it's her birthday, she's lucky I even married her?] The man said, voice-dripping hatred. The black robed man turned back to John.
[He hated my mother and me because he believed that we took away his chance of being with the woman he loved. " As he turned back toward his father, a woman walked in carrying groceries and without a word to both of them she went to the kitchen. She was putting away groceries when the black robed man walked in.
//Mommy happy birthday love you // He said, with a smile.
//Go away David I don't have time. // The woman said, not even looking at her son.
David turned back toward John, [They never had time for me, and it's like they never wanted each other or children.] David said, in a sad voice. [That's why I joined the cult because they promised me love and security.])
"John, what did you see?" Walt asked, when John came back.
"A very sad childhood." John answered, in a sad voice.
"How sad could it have been?" Asked Blair. Trying to understand how anyone could join a cult that worshipped the devil.
"His parents hated each other and him." John answered, trying to get the picture of the man's home life out of his head.
"Did you get a name, because he won't tell anyone what it is?" Asked Simon.
"I just got David." Answered John.
"At least we got one of their names." Said Joel.
The Sentinel Zone 16/18
Just then Blair and Jim came back from the basement, when all of a sudden Blair just stopped in his tracks, looking at the dark robed man with fear on his face. Jim stops as soon as he picked up Blair's racing heart.
"Chief what's wrong?" Jim asked, in a concerned voice.
He also didn't like the pale look on Blair's face.
"Nononononono, he's supposed to be dead!" Blair cried, as he started backing away.
"Who?" Jim asked, confused.
"Him, you swore you killed him!" Blair cried, as he pointed toward the black robed man. Turning around Jim looked more closely at the hooded man and realized that it was David Lash and he currently had a very evil smile on his face. At first Jim was speechless, he knew that he'd killed David, but then he became very angry.
"I killed you." Jim said, in a shocked voice. But before he could do anything Blair grabbed his arm.
"Don't he's not worth it." Blair said, not even looking at David.
"How did you survive?" Blair asked, trying to control his fear.
"It was my twin brother you pushed down all those flights." David answered, with an evil laugh.
"We talked to your father, he never told us about any twin brother." Said Jim.
"He was born retarded, so they locked him up and swore to never talk about him to other people." David answered, giving them all an evil laugh.
"Then how did you find out about him?" Asked Blair, feeling a panic attack coming on.
"Before mother died, she told me that I had a twin who was retarded." Answered David.
"I made sure that we became friends, and then I convinced him to play me when I kidnapped Blair." David uttered, before he started to laugh again.
With a disgusted look on his face, “Take him away.” Said Simon. He then turned toward Jim, “Don’t you dare feel bad about what you did you didn’t know that wasn’t Lash.”
“How can’t I feel bad, I killed an innocent man?” Jim said, in a sad voice.
“Jim, he wasn’t innocent, I’m sure he killed those people also.” Blair said, in a soothing voice.
As David was being led out John grabbed his hand, (John saw David walking down a hospital hallway. David stops at a door, opens, and walks into the room where a man was lying in a bed humming to him self.
//Hello Donald, I’m your brother David. // David said, with a smile.
"I’m here to take you home. We’re going to have so much fun. //
Time switched to David taking Donald home. David began to prepare Donald, so he could take him home and get him to be a patsy. After getting Donald cleaned he began to convince him that his name was David and he needed to kill people to feel better.)
“He made his brother think that he was David and that he needed to kill people to feel better.” John said, coming out of his vision.
“So he used his brother to kill people, and then switched places with them?” Jim said, hating the feeling he was getting.
"Actually, he killed all those people he just told his brother he did. It made him feel better thinking his brother did the killing." Answered John.
"So he killed others, became them, and told his brother he did it so his conscience wouldn't bother him?" Simon asked, trying to understand.
"That about sums it up." Answered John.
"Shit, that's one sick bastard." Bruce said, with distaste in his voice.
"What did you expect from a man who killed people and then dressed like them?" Said Simon.
"What should we do with him now?" Asked Jim, still trying to get over the fact that he killed someone that was being used by David.
"The first thing we do is get everyone processed and then decide what to do with David." Said Simon.
As they were walking out of the house Jim got a whiff of blood.
"Wait, Lee's around here somewhere." Jim said, as he began to follow the scent of blood.
While Jim was following the trail with Blair behind him, the rest of the task force was loading everyone into the vans. Jim and Blair were passing a Dumpster when Lee jumped out and was about to attack Blair, when Jim turned around and hit him across his injured arm. Without a posse to make sure Lee wasn't hurt too badly Jim handcuffed him and read him his Miranda rights
"I think we should take him to the hospital." Blair suggested, as they walked toward the police van.
"Why so can escape again?" Jim asked, pushing Lee into the van.
"No, so he won't die on us." Blair answered, giving a wince when Lee hit his injured arm.
"We'll take him to the station first, and then to the hospital." Jim said, as they walked towards the truck.
"Jim, you have to calm down." Blair said, picking up Jim's anger.
"Calm down, how can I calm down. First we find out Lee is out of prison but we were never notified, then we find out I didn't kill David Lash I killed his brother instead." Jim said, trying to control his temper.
"Jim, baby no matter who it was that you killed it was done in self defense." Blair said, in soft voice.
After thinking about it for a minute Jim realized that Blair was right, if he didn't take out Donald, then they would have both been dead.
"You're right as usual." Jim said, giving Blair a loving smile.
Cascade PD
Major Crimes
12:00 p.m.
When they arrived at the station there was media frenzy was waiting for them, which made it difficult for them to get through so they could get into the stati
"We'll have to capture this person and find out." Jim said, trying to sooth Blair.
"Jim, we pissed off so many people it could be anyone." Blair uttered, trying to control the panic attack he was feeling coming on.
"Who's Alex?" Asked Walt.
"She's another Sentinel that tried to kill Blair." Simon answered; hating the look Blair was getting.
"Tried to kill me, she did kill me." Blair answered.
"What do you mean she did kill you?" Bruce asked, in a surprised voice.
"She hit me over the head with a gun and drowned me in the fountain at Rainer College." Blair answered, trying to hold back his panic attack.
"Then how are you alive?" Asked Walt. He then realized what he asked.
Before Blair or Jim could say anything, John grabbed Blair's arm. //They are both in an office when a blonde woman walked in. "What do you want Alex." Blair asked, he then turned toward John. "I should never have helped her, but I was so excited I'd found another Sentinel." Blair said, turning back toward Alex. "I'm sorry to do this, you really helped me with my senses. I didn't really didn't know what was going with me." Alex said, taking out a gun. "Alex you don't want to do this." Said Blair. Turning toward John, "She lied to me on how she got her abilities." Blair said, before turning back toward Alex. A second later Alex hit Blair over the head with her gun, picked him up, and dragged him out the door toward the fountain. All this time John was following them...but then he found himself in a jungle with a wolf and jaguar running toward each other. "I felt myself slipping away, before Jim's spirit guide and mine joined." Blair said, also watching the joining. //
"John what did you get?" Bruce asked, seeing John come out of the vision.
Looking at Blair, "I'm sorry I mentioned her animal spirit." Said John.
"It's alright John I understand." Blair said, with a sad smile.
"Now that we have that all straightened out, can we get back to trying to find those children." Simon said, wanting to change the subject. (He didn't know if he could take John Smith's visions.) Simon thought to himself.
"Ok, what we have is a red house, a man with black hair, a spirit animal Hyena, and someone with dark hair who is a guide or was a guide to Alex." Blair said, going through everything that they know so far.
"He also worked for the government." Said John.
"That can be a lot of people." Blair said, becoming scared.
"Chief calm down, we'll help those kids and get the guy who wants revenge on us." Jim said, rubbing Blair's shoulders.
"Jim, don't tell me to calm down!" Yelled Blair, but then he remembered they had other people there. "Sorry."
"Blair we'll get them back." Simon said, in quite voice.
"You heard Doe this is my fault." Blair said, trying to stay calm.
"This is not your fault." Jim said, grabbing Blair's face. "None of it is your fault."
"How can you say that?" Blair said, looking at Jim with hurt in his eyes. “Because I know you and love you.” Jim said, giving Blair a kiss.
“But Jim if it wasn’t for me people wouldn't have found out about your abilities." Blair said, with tears in his eyes.
"And if it wasn't for you I'd be crazy or dead." Jim said, with love in his eyes.
"If it wasn't for me, no one would have known about your abilities and none of this would be happening." Blair said, starting to cry.
"Honey, listen to me. I love you and it wasn't your fault that your mom gave your thesis to that scum." Jim said, in a soft voice.
"I know, but it's still my fault that those kids were taken." Answered Blair.
"No, it's not your fault. The man that took those kids did it because of his beliefs." John said, understanding in his voice.
"He also wants revenge." Blair said, with a sad look in his eyes.
"Then we'll have to find out who this person is." Said Simon.
"How are we going to do that?" Asked Blair, becoming very tired from all the information that had come out so far.
"Go visit Alex." Answered Jim.
"Jim, she's in a coma." Blair said, not really wanting to see Alex.
"I'll go with you." Said John.
"Why, what are you going to do?" Blair asked, not intending to sound mean.
"I can go into her coma and find out what she knows." John answered, not realizing he he was getting more that he bargained for.
"Are you sure you want do that John?" Bruce asked, seeing the shocked and scared look on Blair's face.
"If we want to know about this man, then I'll have to." John answered, wanting to reassure Blair. "John you must know that Alex was mentally deranged." Blair warned.
"I'll be careful." John answered, with a smile.
"When do you want to go?" Asked Simon. {I thought we finally got passed Alex.} Simon thought to himself, as he remembered Blair's nightmares after being killed.
Location unknown
2:00 p.m.
In the meantime the stolen children were being prepared for the ritual to become one of Satan's worshippers, "What is going on here?" Asked the man in the red robe.
"We're getting them ready for the ritual, master." Answered the priests in silver.
"Didn't Peter tell you that we're holding it off?" The master asked, trying to hold his anger in. "No, why are we holding it off?" Asked the priest in gold.
"The great one wants the Guardian, Companion, and Seer to fail before these children are brought into the fold." Answered the master.
"Do you think...." Before the priest in brown asked, a blast of dark red light hit him square in the chest.
"Does anyone else want to ask a question?" The master said.
"No master, we will wait." Said the priest in gold.
"Good, I'll be in my rooms." The master said, walking toward his office he thought about ways to teach his slaves the proper way to follow orders.
("Don't hurt him, he's going to be part of all this.") A voice said in his head.
"How and when master." Asked the man.
("All in good time, but now you must stop them from going to see your Sentinel.") Said the voice. "What do you mean Master." Asked the man in the red robe.
("They're going to the institute, so Mr. Smith can go into your Sentinel's mind and find out about you.") Said the voice.
"What do you want me to do to stop them master?" Asked the servant.
("Give them a clue to keep them busy.") Answered the voice.
"Yes, master right away." The red robed man said. ("Soon I'll have a Champion, Companion, and Seer to work my will in the mortal world.") The voice sao ito itself as it watched the red robed man walk away.
Reaching his office the red robed man began to think how to get their minds off visiting Alex and back onto looking for the children. As he walked into his office he met his standing slave ready for his punishment.
"Why didn't you tell the priests about not doing the ritual?" Asked the master.
"I tried master, but they didn't want to listen to me." Answered the slave, with his head bowed down.
"I will forgive you this time, but next time you will pay." Said the master.
"I understand sir." The slave said softly, trying not to smile.
"What are we going to do now sir?"
"It's time for Mr. Smith and Detective Ellison to have another clue." Said the master.
"What kind of clue do you want them to get?" Inquired the slave.
"Something ease, but that won't give us away." Answered the master. {And while they're out looking for clues, I'll go and get my Sentinel out of the institute.}
("Leave her there. Let Mr. Smith into her mind.") The voice said in his head.
"But master that will tell them who we are." Said the red robed man
("It will also make him more vulnerable to my will.") Said the master.
"I understand master." Said the red robed man.
Cascade Museum
4:00 p.m.
Arriving at the Museum an hour later all four men walked in and were met by a guard who seemed to think they were up to something strange. "I'm sorry sirs, but we're closing shortly." Said the guard.
"We're looking for something officer." Jim said, taking out his badge and showing it to him.
"I'm sorry Detective go right ahead." The guard immediately let them pass.
Walking around they looked for anything out of place when John's cell phone went off, "Yes, Mr. Doe?" John said, answering his phone.
"You are good Mr. Smith. Now that you are at the Museum, go to where they hold the mummies and you'll find what you are looking for." Doe hung up.
"I guess we go to the Mummy section." Jim said, after hearing the conversation. On the way, John brushed against another man. (Children were kneeling at an altar being forced to pray, and behind them was someone in a red robe also praying. The prayers were in a strange language that John couldn't understand, but the man did; [Our lord who rules the underworld please hear our prayers. Take these children as an offering to you and let them serve you as we serve you.] The prayer lasted for an hour and then the children were taken to the bathroom where they are washed in steaming hot water...//
//The scene changed, and this time the man in the red robe was standing by an alter looking at a picture of a beautiful woman and crying, "Soon Alex, I'll have you back and have my revenge on the people who put you in that hospital. You should have come to me when you started having problems with you abilities." The man said, with tears running down his eyes. "But we both know that you were and always will be a proud person, even if it means dying or going crazy."//
"John you all right?" Bruce asked, when he saw that John wasn't moving.
"Where's the man that I bumped into?" John asked, looking around.
"What man?" Asked Blair, also looking around.
"The man I bumped into, he's one of the men who worships the devil." John answered, eyes searching.
"Is he part of all this?" Bruce asked, had his own head raised now.
"I'm sure he is." John answered, becoming worried. He then began to touch people he passed to see if he could find the man again. Every time he touched a person he would get a vision of them in either doing good, bad, or in-between.
The Sentinel Zone 11/18
Grabbing John's arm, "John stop, you'll wear yourself out." Bruce said, in a worried voice. "Bruce I have to find him, he's our only chance at finding those children." John said, his voice becoming desperate.
"John calm down. What did he look like?" Bruce asked, not liking seeing John so disorientated. "I never saw him, but he was always there with Doe. He's his servant." John explained, and then stopped looking when he realized the man or woman had already disappeared.
"I think we should go and see Alex." Blair said, but really hating the idea. (Why did I open my mouth?) He asked himself.
"Blair's right, maybe I could get something from her." John said, trying to get the image of those children out of his head.
"Let me call Simon and see if he got in touch with the institute." Jim said, taking out his cell phone.
"Banks." Simon answered.
"Simon it's me, did you get us permission to see Alex?" Asked Jim.
"Yes, they're expecting you." (I hope you don't regret see her again Jim.) Simon thought. "Simon we're going to be ok." Jim said, hearing Simon's trepidation.
knowknow Jim, but I'm worried about Blair and what his reaction will be when he sees Alex again." Simon sounded worried.
"I know Simon, I'm worried about him too." Jim said, in a tired voice.
"But I also believe in him." "I believe in him too, but she really did a number on him." Simon offered.
"I know Simon, but he's a strong man and he will get through this." Jim sounded confident.
"I'll call you later."
"Ok, be careful and call me when you know anything." Simon said, before hanging up.
"I will Simon." Jim said, before he hung up as well.
"What did Simon say?" Blair asked, as he followed Jim out of the Museum.
"That they're waiting for us at the Institute." Jim answered, picking up on Blair's raising hopes. "Chief, calm down everything is going to be fine."
"I know but it's been almost five years since I've last seen her." Blair said, getting into the truck. "Where was the last time you saw her?" Asked John, following Blair.
"In Peru." Blair answered, remembering how Jim almost died there. "That's where she lost her senses and went into her coma.
"What do you mean?" Bruce asked, in a confused voice. Before Blair could say anything he got a flash of Incacha, ["He may not know as of yet young one. He is not ready."] "I can't tell you as of yet." Blair said, after the vision.
"Why?" Asked John.
"You're not ready yet." Answered Blair.
Cascade PD
5:00 p.m.
After getting off the phone with Jim, Simon sat there and thought about all the things they'd been through together. He remembered Blair's first day and how he helped them with the Sun Rise Patriots. Simon tried not to think about the time Blair was kidnapped by Lash and almost killed. (He's been through so much,) he realized.
Cascade Institute for the Insane
6:00 p.m.
Before John could ask another question, Jim said, "We're here," and stopped the truck.
"Incacha told me it was too early." Blair said, as they walked toward the Hospital.
As they walked inside a nurse met them; "Can I help you gentlemen?" She asked.
"Yes, we have an appointment to see Alex Barnes." Answered Jim.
"You'll have to see Doctor Franklin first." The nurse said, trying not to show her disgust. (How can anyone want to see that creature was beyond her,) and the thought was clearly visible. "Please follow me." The nurse said, and led them towards a man's voice.
"Come in." A voice said, after the nurse knocked.
Opening the door all four men walked in to see middle-aged man sitting behind his desk, "Welcome gentlemen, please sit down." Invited the doctor.
"Thank you sir." Blair said, as they all took a seat.
"Can you tell me why you're here to see Ms. Barnes?" Asked Doctor Franklin. "It's highly unusual since no one has been here since she was brought here." He knew he was lying. (There has only been one man to visit her, but he knew if he told he would die.) Thought the doctor. "What about family?" Jim asked, picking up the doctors raising heartbeat.
"We don't know if Ms. Barnes has any family." Answered Doctor Franklin, trying not to show that he was nervous.
"Can we see her please?" Jim asked, smelling the fear coming off of the older man.
"Of course, please follow me." Franklin said, as he got up and walked toward the door.
A minute later they reached the room where Alex was being held, and that was when Jim began to feel that strange sensation he always felt when he came near Alex. That's when he saw the spotted Jaguar and a Hyena standing looking at him with what looked like hate in their eyes. "Jim, you all right?" Blair asked, when Jim spotted walking.
"I'll tell you later." Jim said, as they began to walk again. After the doctor opened the door, let them in, and then left, Jim said, "I saw her spirit guide and that of her guide." Watching as they Hyena gave the Jaguar a kiss and then walked into the wall.
"Do you think he's here?" Asked John, also seeing the Hyena and Jaguar.
"No, but he was here not long ago." Answered Jim.
As they walked in they saw Alex in the far corner of the room rocking and humming to her self. When they started to walk toward her, Alex began to whimper but would stop when they stopped. "I think she senses Jim, which is confusing and scaring her." Said Blair.
"I'll go by myself." John said, walking towards Alex.
"John are you sure you're doing the right thing?" Asked Bruce.
"I have no other choice." John said, as he reached Alex. That was when he heard her whispering, "Please don't hurt me."
"I'm not going to hurt you Alex, I just need your help to find two young children." John whispered, in a soft calming voice.
Then without saying another word John slowly touched her head. (The first thin he saw was Alex standing by a bed looking down at a man with dark blond hair, she then turned toward John, [I loved him you know, but he only wanted one thing from me.] Alex turned back towards the bed, //Lee, I can't do this any more. // Alex said, trying to hold back her tears.
She turned back towards John, [I tried to love him, even when I found out he worked for the CIA, but then he began to worship the devil. When I tried to stop him I learned he'd always worshipped the devil.] Alex faced the bed again. //What do you mean you can't do this anymore? // Lee asked, in an angry voice.
//I can't pray to someone who kills children. // Alex answered, trying not to show her fear.
//Why not? He gave you the abilities to see, hear, and taste, touch, and smell better then anyone else. // Lee said, grabbing Alex by the hair.
//No, I got those abilities after spending time in solitary confinement. // Alex protested.
Without saying a word Lee slapped her across the face, //You will respect the Master or die. // Lee said angrily. //The master has a job for us. //
Alex finally turned back towards John, [I didn't have a choice, and it was either them or me.] Alex said, in a sad voice. She then turned back towards Lee, // what do I have to do? // Alex asked, in a scared voice.
//Go to Cascade and find out if the Sentinel there is a threat to the master and us. // Lee said, giving Alex a kiss.
//What is a Sentinel? // Alex asked, in a surprised voice. //What are you going to do? // Alex looked at John. [If I knew now what I should have known then, none of this would have happened.] Alex said, before turning back to Lee.
That was when John broke the contact with Alex, but before they could ask him any questions John put his hand back on Alex's head.
//This time he saw a red brick house with people coming and going every hour, but for some reason he couldn't get the number to the house. John then felt a presence with him, turning around he saw that it was Alex.
"Hello, Alex." John said softly.
"Why are you here?" Alex asked, in a weary voice.
"I'm trying to find two children that your guide had taken." John answered, with a reassuring smile.
"I don't have a guide; I never had a guide!" Alex yelled, she sounded agitated.
"What about Lee?" John asked, not realizing that an agitated Alex was a dangerous Alex.
Without any warning Alex attacked John, but before she could do any harm Incacha appeared in front of her, {You were doing so well child, but if you attack the
Seer you will go back to the person you have been.} Incacha said, with a sad smile.
{I'm sorry Teacher, but he called Lee my guide.} Alex said, with her head bent in respect.
Incacha then turned toward John, {I know why you're here Seer, but she is not ready to come out of her trance.}
"What do you mean?" John asked, confused.
Sitting down on a fallen log, Incacha said {Join me seer and I will explain.} Sitting down next to Incacha, John waited for him to explain.
{Since she was a child, Alex has had her senses but no one cared that she was suffering. So she grew up not knowing why she was different and being treated like something was wrong with her. Then when she was old enough she left home and got involved with people, who realized that she was different, so they decided to use her abilities. Over time she met Lee and her senses settled down, which she thought meant they were to be together. } Explained Incacha, while looking at Alex, with a sad smile.
"Then why did she try to kill Andarco?" Asked John.
{She didn't, that was her twin sister, who she meet in prison.} Answered Incacha.
"What about the time in Peru? " Asked John.
{That was Alex, after the evil one and her twin worked on her mind for a couple of days.} Incacha answered, looking at Alex, who was meditating.
{She hated what she did, but after everything that happened to her, she was very confused and very hurt. That is why she tried to end the world} Incacha explained, giving John a sad smile.
"Can she help us find the children?" Asked John, looking up.
"They are at 666 Jordan Street. That is where he always takes the children." Alex answered softly, before going back to meditating.
The Sentinel Zone 12/18
{Now that you know where the children are, you must prepare so you can stop them.} Said Incacha.
"What do you mean get ready?" John asked.
{The power you are going up against, wants you to fail, but something more powerful wants you to succeed, and the only way you will do that is if you believe in yourself and the people with you.} Incacha said, before he and Alex disappeared. //
Seeing John come out of his vision, Bruce walked up to him, "John, you alright?" He asked.
"Yes, I know where the children are." John said, looking at Alex with sympathy in his eyes.
"Can we leave now?" Blair asked, hating the feeling he was getting from Alex.
Turning toward Blair, "She wasn't the one who killed you." John said.
"What do you mean she wasn't the one who tried to kill me?" Blair asked, in a surprised voice.
"They had someone who looked like her, try to kill you." John answered, turning back towards Alex.
"And how do you know that?" Jim asked, also surprised.
"Incacha told me, while I was trying to get the information from Alex." John answered, with a tired voice.
"What about Peru?" Blair asked, not knowing what to believe.
"After everything that was done to her, she just wanted everything to end." Explained John.
"What should we do then?" Asked Jim, trying to understand what was going on.
"She's in the spirit world, learning to use her powers, and when she knows everything that she needs to know she will come back." Answered John.
"Would she be able to function without a guide when she comes out?" Blair asked, in scared voice. He didn't know if he could handle Alex coming back, not after she tried to kill him. Even though John said, it wasn't her but someone who looked like her, he wasn't sure what to believe. He watched the figure on the bed.
That was when Alex raised her head looked Blair straight in the eyes, "I'm sorry Blair."
As soon as Alex said those two little words, Blair began to back away towards the door but before he could run away he felt a hand around his shoulders. Looking up he saw that it was Jim with a look that Blair wished wasn't there.
"Baby, listen to me she can longer hurt you." Jim said in a sympathetic voice.
"I'm not scared she's going to hurt me, what I'm scared is that I won't be able to forgive her for what she did." Blair answered, equally sadly.
"No one said you have to forgive her." Jim said, trying to reassure him.
"Jim you heard John, it was someone else who killed me."
"Blair, John has some special abilities, but all that nonsense about the devil being able to change someone's identity is a little too much." Said Jim.
"Haven't you ever heard of twins?" Blair said, in an angry voice.
"So her twin is also a Sentinel?" Jim asked, trying to control his temper.
"No, she just screwed her over." Blair said sarcastically.
Before Jim could say anything that would hurt Blair's feeling, Bruce spoke up. "Guys, I think you've all been screwed over."
"What do you mean by that?" Asked Blair.
"She might not have killed you, but she did try to release a deadly nerve gas. No matter how she was treated over the years trying to kill other people is considered being crazy." Explained Bruce.
"Bruce, I never said she wasn't. What I was told was she was working on her problems, and as soon as she works out her problems she will be able to face the world again." John explained, wishing that he could help Jim and Blair over their hatred of Alex.
That was when Blair realized that someone wanted them to get into a fight so they wouldn't be able to find the children. Deciding that he wasn't going to let them win Blair took a deep breath and started walking back toward Alex's room.
"Blair where are you going?" Asked Jim.
"I just realized that Lee and who ever he works for wants us to fight, so we go after the children." Blair answered, as he walked into the room. "And I'm not going to let them win."
"What are you going to do?" Jim asked, in a suspicious voice.
"I'm going to forgive her, and then meditate so I can go into the spirit world and talk to her." Answered Blair.
"Chief, do you think that's a good idea?" Jim asked, in a worried voice.
"If I'm ever going to feel safe again, I need to forgive her." Blair said, wanting Jim to understand.
"Are you ready to forgive her?" Jim asked, in a concerned voice.
"If I want to continue with my life, then yes I'm ready to forgive her." Blair said, as walked towards Alex. He then sat down next to her and began to breath in and out starting his meditation, {Welcome young Shaman.} A voice said from behind him. Turning around Blair came face to face with Incacha, and with him was Alex looking very scared.
// Thank you for meeting me great one. // Blair said, while looking at Alex.
//You shouldn't be here now, young shaman. She isn't ready to see you again. // Said Incacha.
//I came so I could tell her that I forgive her for what she did. // Said Blair.
//Why do you forgive her young one? //Asked Incacha
//So I can go on with my life. // Answered Blair.
That was when the most amazing thing happened Alex seemed to come back to herself; she raised her head and gave Blair a dazzling smile, //You have done well young one, that is what she has been waiting for, but now your Sentinel has to forgive her. Said Incacha.
//I don't know if he can, but I'll ask. // Blair said, before fading away.
Blair came back from his spirit walk with a smile on his face, "Blair, you alright?" Asked Jim.
"I'm fine, I almost feel whole now." Blair answered, giving Jim a smile. "You should forgive her also."
"I don't think I can forgive her for killing you." Said Jim.
"Jim, the only way we can go on with our lives is to forgive her." Said Blair.
"I've gone on with my life." Jim said, in a defensive voice.
"You still have nightmares about me drowning." Blair said in a soft voice.
"Will it make you feel better for me to forgive her?" Jim asked, hating this discussion.
"Yes, and it will make you feel better too." Blair said, with a loving smile.
With a sigh Jim nodded and let Blair lead him toward the couch where they began their breathing exercise. After a few minutes they both felt the change in there area and knew that they were on their spirit walk.
(//Welcome young ones. // Incacha said, Alex was still with him, avoiding looking at Jim. With a sigh Jim walks up to Incacha and Alex, when they all felt a very weird disturbance in the air.
//Some one doesn't want you to forgive Poco Gata. // Said Incacha, as he looks around.
Taking a deep breath, //Alex I forgive your for killing Blair and trying to end the world. // Jim said, wishing he was anywhere else but here.
Raising her head Alex gave Jim a very beautiful smile, //Thank you Enrique, I know that this was hard for you and I really appreciate it. //
//It is hard for both of us to forgive you, but we understand that you were used by one that thought he was your guide. // Blair said, in an understanding voice.
//He was the first person who was ever nice to me, and when I was near him my senses stabilized. // Alex answered, with tears in her eyes.
//Is that why you wanted to end the world? // Jim asked. That was when he realized that if Blair hadn't found him or someone else got a hold of him, he would be in Alex's position now, which was a very scary thought.
//Alex, how and when did you met Lee? // Blair asked.
//I guess it would be after he left the CIA, but before meeting you. I think that's how he knew about Sentinels. // Answered Alex.
//Master when will she be able to leave the spirit plane? // Blair asked.
//When she has learned more about her abilities and her are important. // Answered Incacha. {It's time for you to go back, and find the children. Remember the Seer and his guide are the key.} Incacha said, as they faded from the spirit world.
Coming out of their meditation, "Don't you feel better?" Asked Blair.
"You know, I do." Jim said, in a clear voice.
"Good, now lets find those children." Blair said, looking at Alex, who was no longer humming but looking at them with something close to recognition.
"What happened?" Bruce asked, when he saw that they had come back.
"We gave her our forgiveness, and I think now she'll be able to forgive herself and come back." Blair answered, giving Alex a smile.
"I think we should head back to the station and see if we can get any information on where Lee is." Jim said, watching Alex react to Blair's smile.
"Isn't Lee supposed be in prison?" Blair asked, becoming slowly uncomfortable watching Alex's face.
"He should, but it appears he isn't." Jim said, feeling an urge to protect Blair.
"We should go, and see what we can find out." John said, picking up the tension in the room.
"Thank you for helping me Blair." Alex said, before they left.
"You're welcome, hopefully you'll find yourself a guide that will help you." Blair said, and walked out.
"Wow, that was weird." Bruce said, as they walked outside.
"I guess her coming out of the coma, triggered Jim's Sentinel abilities to protect me." Blair offered as they got into the truck.
"What do you mean protect you?" Bruce asked, in a curious voice.
"When a guide is in danger, Sentinels go into Blessed Protector mode. It means that they will protect their guide to the death." Explained Blair.
"Wow, that's heavy." Bruce said.
"Yeah, it is." Blair said, while looking at Jim. ('What is he think) Th) Thought Blair.
Jim was thinking about Alex as they drove to the police station. (I don't know why I agreed to go on that spirit walk. Forgiving her made me feel better, but it also brought her out of her coma. What's going to happen now?)
Cascade PD
7:00 p.m.
Arriving at the Cascade PD all four men took the elevator up to the seventh floor; as soon as they entered Major Crimes they heard Simon yelling. "Ellison, Sandburg my office NOW!"
The Sentinel Zone 13/18
"You wanted to see us sir?" Jim asked, once they were all inside.
"Yes, what did you learn?" Asked Simon.
"Lee Brackett is out of prison, and he's the one who took those kids. He knew Alex and was her guide. Alex also has a sister and she's the one who killed Blair, but Alex was the one who wanted to use the gas.
"After everything that had happened to her she just wanted everything to end and stop hurting." Blair explained.
"Do we know where to find Lee?" Asked Simon, in a shocked voice. "Why weren't we notified that he was let out of prison?"
"We have the address of where he is, but I don't know why we weren't notified he was let out, I'll call around and find out." Answered Jim.
"Do that after you get those kids back." Said Simon.
He then snatched up the phone and called the S.W.A.T captain to get his people ready.
Lee's home
666 Jordan Street
7:00 p.m.
At the same time as the police were getting ready to bust Lee, Lee was preparing the kids for the final stage of serving the devil. What he didn't know was that the person he was talking to wasn't the devil but an evil Sentinel working with telepathy who wanted to get rid of Jim, so they could get Blair for themselves. They'd gotten John involved so they could get ride of him also, because they knew that John would be able to find out about their plans if they should ever meet.
"They found out about Lee." The psychic told the person sitting with them at an unknown location.
"I guess we leave and try again another time."
"Aren't you mad?"
"No, just annoyed."
"You aren't going to warn Lee?"
"No, let him get out of this himself."
Meanwhile back at the house, "Master, we are almost ready." Said the servant.
"Good, soon I will have everything I always wanted." Lee said, with an evil laugh.
“When you do you want to begin?” Asked the servant.
“We’ll begin early tomorrow morning.” Lee answered, before going to his room.
Cascade PD
Major Crimes
8:00 p.m.
As Simon, Walt, Jim, Blair, John, and Bruce were going over the plans, Joel walked in carrying blueprints of the house that Lee was staying in.
“Joel, what do you have?” Simon asked, when he saw him.
"The blue-prints for the house."
"Good, we'll go over it today and storm the house tomorrow morning." Said Simon.
As they planned an attack John was going over his visions to see if you could find anything that would help the police. He went through his vision of the house to see if he could find anything that would hurt the police.
It was two hours later around ten o’clock that everyone finally decided to call it a night and head home, "John, Bruce, and Walt should come home with us, as it’s too far away to the hotel." Jim said, as they were putting everything away.
"That would be great, thank you." John said, trying not to yawn.
"Thank you, but I need to get to the hotel I have to call my wife." Said Walt.
"Ok, Walt we'll see you tomorrow." John said, before leaving.
It was around eleven o'clock when Jim, Blair, John, and Bruce arrived at the loft and it took Blair fifteen minutes to prepare his old room for them. Blair then went upstairs to get some rest, but when he got into bed he felt Jim's arms go around him.
"What are you doing?" Blair whispered, moving Jim's hand.
"What does it look like I'm doing?" Jim answered, playing with Blair's nipples.
"Baby, please I'm tired." Blair moaned, as Jim rolled his nipple.
Jim didn't say anything he just began to play with Blair's nipples until he heard him moan, and then turned him on his back. He began to kiss and lick down Blair's body, until he reached his cock.
"Oh, god yes baby right there." Blair moaned, feeling Jim's mouth around his cock, playing with it, and stroking it; until Blair thought he would burst from the sensation.
Then slowly Jim began to kiss his way up Blair’s body slowly running his hand up and down Blair's torso and over his groin. Jim began stroking him, waiting for the right opportunity to fill Blair. Taking a deep breath Jim could smell Blair’s arousal, so he pressed his face against his lover's stomach inhaled his scent. Blair smelled fresh and spicy at the same time, which drove Jim wild with want.
Blair felt his cock responding to the Jim's kisses causing him to moan from wanting the feel of Jim inside him. “Please take me.” Blair moaned in desperation.
The moaning and the writhing from Blair caused Jim’s cock to stiffen as the blood rushed to his pelvic area and in a few minutes a wet spot appeared over the head
As Jim was kissing his way up Blair’s body he could feel his lover’s prick lengthening, thickening beneath him. His own cock stirred up again, also growing heavier and more sensitive. Blair bit his lip to keep the sound from escaping, so he wouldn’t awaken the two people downstairs. If Jim didn't release him soon, he was certain he was going to come before Jim could take him.
Blair didn’t know if he could take any more of Jim’s torment and was about do something, when he felt something cold and wet at his hole.
“Yeeessss!” Blair moaned, felling the cold wetness of Jim’s fingers.
“God, baby you’re beautiful.” Jim said, as he kissed Blair.
"Fuck me." God, he wanted it so badly, wanted to feel Jim's thick cock buried in his ass. "Fuck me," he repeated but there was no need as the older man was more than willing, and ready to mount him without further delay.
He lifted his legs and laid them over Jim's shoulders, reached down and held onto his lover’s hips. Jim held him in place as his body accustomed itself to being filled, and then Jim slowly withdrew over and over again making Blair’s toes curl.
“Faster, I want it faster.” Blair moaned, as he tried to push himself up onto Jim.
Hearing Blair that he wanted it faster Jim began to rock in and out him, back up inside Blair’s hole and then changing direction again. The thick tube of meat plugging into him, causing Blair to involuntarily tense his muscles, which held Jim in place for a moment before surrendering and allowing the older man to thrust and withdraw as he pleased. Blair's hole was so slick, so slippery, so warm, sucking the length of his cock as he pulled away and accepting him as he plunged forward, that Jim lost himself in the motion of fucking.
Leaning forward, he supported himself on his hands and drove his dick into the man's hole furiously for a while, then slowed down, and with his cock buried to the hilt, merely rotated his hips. He could tell that Blair was pleased by the way the man smiled at first, and then his mouth fell open and all he could do was moan. Jim pulled out completely amidst complaints from his lover but the sounds of complaint quickly turned to ones of contentment as Jim turned him over and entered him once more.
As he was turned Blair’s cock was now hidden in the bedclothes, hard and aching, causing him to groan into the comforter as Jim fucked his ass with abandon. Each thrust jolted him. He raised his head and gave a cry, clenching his cheeks. Causing Jim to gasp in surprise, the tightening of Blair’s hole around his cock sent him barreling headlong into his orgasm. Pumping his hips, he came, shooting his load up Blair’s moist tunnel. He collapsed on top, still inside him, and tried to catch his breath.
When Jim was able to breathe again he slipped out of Blair and fell onto the bed from exhaustion. What they didn’t realize was that John and Bruce could hear them downstairs. At first John pretended to be asleep, but when Bruce began to kiss him he couldn’t help but moan from the wonderful feeling.
“John, will you make love to me?” Asked Bruce, in-between kisses.
“Are you sure Bruce?” John asked, as he kissed Bruce’s neck.
“Without a doubt.” Bruce answered, with a smile.
“I want you to turn around.” John says, as he kissed Bruce on the lips.
“But first.” John kissed Bruce’s lips, eyes, his ears, and again his lips. He kissed his way down to Bruce’s nipples, started to play with them.
Meanwhile, John’s hands begin to play with Bruce’s body. That’s when he felt his lover’s prick lengthening, thickening beneath his hand. His own cock stirred up again also growing heavier and more sensitive. John decided to taste Bruce’s cock, so he began to kiss his way down until he reached the big long cock. Taking the fat meat into his mouth John began to suck Bruce off, until Bruce thought he was going to explode.
“Oh, gods John take me!” Yelled Bruce.
Licking his way back up. “Turn around.” John whispered, into Bruce’s ear.
Without a word Bruce turned onto his stomach and waited for John to make love to him. John began to lick his way down Bruce’s back until he reached his ass, where he began to play with his hole.
“Oh, John fuck me, please!” Bruce yelled.
With out a word John brought out a tube of lube and began to apply it to Bruce’s hole; which caused him to writhe and moan from the wonderful feeling. Then when John was sure that Bruce was ready, he licked his way back up and then pressed himself against Bruce’s back and buttocks.
Bruce reached around and gripped John's hip, pulling him in closer, the man's cock nestled between his butt cheeks. He rubbed his behind against John’s and sighed. Bruce could feel his lover hardening. Feel him self-stiffening as well. John then opened Bruce’s legs, spat upon his palm, and encircled his cock. It fairly leapt in his grip. He eased into Bruce as slowly as possible so as not to hurt him, but the feel of someone inside him made Bruce cringe in pain. Feeling this, John stopped what he was doing and waited for Bruce to relax.
John realized the problem, took Bruce’s cock in his hand and began to play with it. When John felt Bruce relax he began to push back in, but had to stop again, barely inside. After a while he began to push back in, but this time he didn’t stop, he began to thrust in and out of Bruce.
“Oh, yes baby more.” Bruce whispered, as John moved inside him.
The Sentinel Zone 14/18
Hearing those beautiful words John began to fuck his ass with abandon. Each thrust jolted him. He raised his head and gave a cry, clenching his cheeks causing his muscles to tighten around John’s cock. The tightening caused John to gasp in surprise, which barreled him headlong into an orgasm. Pumping his hips, he came, shooting his load into Bruce's moist tunnel. He collapsed on top, still inside him, and tried to catch his breath.
“Thank you that was beautiful.” Bruce said, after catching his breath.
“You don’t have to thank me, I love you.” John answered, giving Bruce a kiss.
“I love you too.” Bruce said, as he cuddled closer John.
That was when they heard a yell come from upstairs. Not knowing what it was they both jumped out of bed and ran upstairs; where they found Blair and Jim just finishing having sex.
“Sorry, thought something happened.” Bruce said, when Blair and Jim looked at them.
“It’s all right, I guess I was a little too loud.” Blair said, with a shy smile.
“That’s ok, we’ll be going downstairs now.” John said, pushing Bruce down the stairs.
“John quite pushing.” Bruce said, as he went down.
“What is wrong with you?”
“I had a vision when we met them the first time.” John answered, as he got into bed.
“What was it about?” Bruce asked, in a worried voice.
He had never seen John this nervous in all the time they had been friends.
Taking a deep breath, “When I shook Blair’s hand, I saw all four of us in bed together.” Answered John, not even looking at Bruce.
“Do you want it to happen?” Bruce asked, trying to control the tremor in his voice.
“If it does happen, we all end up together and eventually have children.” Answers John.
“Really, how many?” Bruce asks, with a smile.
“Four, all biological.” John answers, seeing the smile.
“What will happen if we don’t end up with them?” Bruce wonders out loud.
“I don’t know, but what I do know is that I love you no matter what.” John said, and kissed him.
“I love you too, but I always wanted children.” Bruce said with a smile.
“Even if it means ending up with two other people as lovers?” Asked John.
“It doesn’t have to be that way, we can start one of our own.” Answered Bruce.
When John didn't say anything, “You do want a family with me, don’t you?”
“Yes, but I don’t want them to be brought up in that small town.” John answered, while thinking of Little Johnny.
“We’ll move somewhere, and start a whole new life.” Bruce said, with a yawn.
“You’re right, but we'll talk about this later we should get some sleep.” John said, before lying down and closing his eyes.
Jim and Blair were so into making love that they didn't realize Blair had yelled out, until John and Bruce had come upstairs. When they saw what was going on they knew they'd made a mistake, and that was when John realized that his vision might come true.
“Sorry, thought something happened.” Bruce said, when Blair and Jim looked at them.
“It’s all right, I guess I was a little to loud.” Blair said, with a shy smile.
“That’s ok, we’ll be going downstairs now.” John said, pushing Bruce down the stairs.
"That was strange." Blair said, when the men left.
"Shhhh, they're talking." Jim said, as he listened in.
"Jim, don't listen in on their conversation."
"There's something about John's reaction that felt weird." Jim says, continuing to listen
“John quit pushing.” Bruce said, as he walked down the stairs.
“What is wrong with you?”
“I had a vision when we met them the first time.” John answered, as he got into bed.
“What was it about?” Bruce asked, in a worried voice.
He has never seen John this nervous in all the time they had been friends. Taking a deep breath, “When I shook Blair’s hand, I saw all four of us in bed together.”
Answered John, not even looking at Bruce.
“Do you want it to happen?” Bruce asked, trying to control the tremor in his voice.
“If it does happen, we end up all together and eventually have children.” Answered John.
“Really, how many?” Bruce asked smiling.
“Four, all biological.” John answered, seeing the smile.
“What will happen if we don’t end up with them?” Bruce wondered out loud.
“I don’t know, but what I do know is that I love you no matter what.” John said and kissed him.
“I love you too, but I always wanted children.” Bruce said, with a smile.
“Even if it means ending up with two other people as lovers?” Asked John.
“It doesn’t have to be that way, we can start one of our own.”
When John didn’t say anything, “You do want a family with me, don’t you?”
“Yes, but I don’t want them to be brought up in that small town.” John answered, while thinking of Little Johnny.
“We’ll move somewhere and start a whole new life.” Bruce said, with a yawn.
“You’re right, but we'll talk about this later we should get some sleep.”
"So what did you hear?" Blair asked, after a while.
"It seems John had a vision of all four of us being together, and even having children." Jim answered trying to understand the concept of all four of them being together and even having children.
"What should we do?" Blair asked, wondering if he could be with two other men.
"We should do nothing, let them come to us." Jim answered, in a tired voice.
"I guess you're right." Blair said, before he went to sleep.
The Loft
7:00 a.m.
The next morning just before the alarm clock went off, Jim rolled and turned it off then he shifted back toward Blair. As he watched Blair sleep Jim tried to figure out what to do about what he'd heard last night.
Just then the telephone range, "Ellison." Jim said into the phone.
"Jim, when are you coming in?" Asked Simon.
"We'll be there in an hour." Jim answered, getting up.
"Good, as soon as you get here we're going to attack the house and get those children." Simon said, before hanging up.
Jim hung up as well and walked back toward the bed. With a loving touch he nudged Blair awake.
"What, what is it?" Blair asked, in a sleepy voice.
"Simon, just called he wants us there in an hour." Jim said, as he kissed Blair on the lips.
"Ok, give me five minutes." Blair said, as he got up.
While Blair was getting ready, Jim went downstairs to tell John and Bruce that Simon called and that they had to get to the station. Before Jim could knock on the door, it opened to show John standing there already dressed. At first Jim was surprised, almost speechless.
"How did you know?" He asked. Before John could say anything, Bruce offered his own comment from behind him.
"It's beyond explanation."
"I guess it's the same as when I know someone is coming upstairs." Said Jim.
"I'm sure it is." John said, with a smile.
"Is everyone ready?” Blair asked, coming downstairs
“Yeah lets go.” Jim said, grabbing his keys.
"Jim you alright?" Blair asked, as they got into the truck.
"John also has sixth sense." Answered Jim.
"How do you know?" Blair asked, in a surprised voice.
"He was already dressed when I came downstairs." Answered Jim.
"His Dead Zone is active, which means he knows what's going to happen." Explained Blair, as they arrived at the station.
"Am I right John?"
"I don't know Blair, but it's something like that." John answered, self-consciously.
Cascade PD
8:00 a.m.
An hour later they arrived at the police station, and then took the elevator up to the seventh floor. When they walked into Major Crimes at least thirty swat members and the bomb squad met them.
“Ellison, Sandburg you’re here good.” Simon said, when he saw them.
“What’s going on Simon?” Jim asked, as he looked around.
“We’re getting ready to strike Lee’s house.” Simon answered, showing them the layout.
(As John looked over the layout he accidentally touched the picture of the house.
//"Why did you pick him and that Sentinel for your purpose? " A voice in the shadows asked.
"I needed someone who knew Sentinel Ellison and they were a perfect choice. " Answered another voice in the darkness.
"You thought Alex Barnes was a perfect choice, didn’t you read her file?"
The first voice smiled, "Of course I did, that’s why I picked her."
"What would you have done if she were able to get the guide away from Ellison, what then?"
"Killed her and then taken the guide."
"What about Ellison?"
"If he got in the way, he would have died too."
"So that’s why you had me pretend to be the devil. "
"That’s right that was the only way he was going to do what I wanted. Besides I needed John Smith here, he has become too good at what he does. "
"Have you ever met him? "
"No, but if I want the government to be taken down, I need to get rid of him."//)
“John, you alright?” Blair asked, when he saw John give himself a shake.
“Yeah, I’m fine. I’ve just had a glimpse of two people talking about using Lee and Alex to try and get Blair.” Answered John.
“So why did they want you here.” Blair asked, trying not to show that he was scared.
“I’m becoming very good with my visions, and this person was afraid that I would find out about them.” Answered John.
“Do you know if it’s a man or woman?” Jim asked.
“I’m not sure, it could be a man. He or she has also teamed up with a telepath.” Answered John, wishing he never had that vision.
“Why would they need a telepath?” Simon asked, a little suspiciously.
“He pretended to be the devil, so Lee would do everything the Sentinel said.” John answered, watching for a reaction.
“What do you mean?” Blair asked, trying not to lose his cool.
“It seems there’s a Sentinel who wanted you, so he decided to use Lee and Alex as pawns.” Answered John.
The Sentinel Zone 15/18
Before anyone could say anything, Blair yelled and then ran out of Major Crimes with Jim right behind him.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know he was going to react like that.” John said, in a sad voice.
“It’s all right. Blair’s been through a lot and I guess finding out that another Sentinel wanted him, and was willing to hurt children and his friends just got to him.” Simon said, with understanding in his voice. (I hope Jim catches up to him.) Thought Simon.
As soon as Blair heard that another Sentinel wanted him, and would do anything to get him he couldn’t take it any more.
“WHY ME, WHY DOES IT HAPPEN TO ME!” Blair screamed as he ran out of the police station.
Not far behind him was Jim, "CHIEF wait!" Jim yelled, running after him. Before Blair could get any further, Jim caught up to him and had to wrestle Blair to the ground to stop him from going anywhere.
"Chief calm down, everything is going to be fine." Jim said, in a soothing voice.
"HOW CAN YOU SAY EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT? DIDN'T YOU HEAR JOHN, ANOTHER SENTINEL WAS AFTER ME AND HAD CHILDREN KIDNAPPED!" Blair screamed, trying to break free from Jim's grasp.
"Baby listen to me, this is not your fault." Said Jim in a calm voice.
"Did you know this was going to happen?"
"No." Blair answered, with tears in his eyes
"Then you have nothing to feel bad about." Jim said, in a reassuring voice.
"And how do you think John must feel, knowing someone wants to get rid of him because of his abilities?"
"I know you're right, it's just hard to know that there's atinetinel out there who would hurt innocent children just to get to me and John." Blair said in sad voice.
"I understand baby, but you can't take the blame for all this. I have a feeling it's been planned out for a long time." Jim tried desperately trying to be reassuring.
"Do you think we'll be able to save those kids?" Blair asked, in a hopeful voice.
"I know we will." Jim said, as they walked back toward the station.
As they walked into Major Crimes all eyes turned towards them, which made Blair self-conscious. He tried to hide behind Jim but he wouldn't let him and pushed Blair forward to show that he wasn't ashamed.
"Is everything ok?" Simon asked, as they walked in.
"Yeah, I just guess finding out that another Sentinel did all this because he wanted me just got too much." Blair answered, trying not to panic.
"Chief calm down, if you start to panic you'll hyperventilate." Jim said, picking up Blair's racing heart.
"I…. I c…. can't h…. help it." Blair said, trying to control his breathing.
"Blair if you don't calm down, I'm taking you home." Jim said, while rubbing Blair's back in soothing manner.
"Give me a minute." Blair said, sitting down and he putting his head between his legs. While Blair was trying to get control of his breathing, the rest of the team were going over the strike plan of the house.
Lee's House
7:00 a.m.
As soon as everyone had gotten up, they began to prepare for the ritual to induct the children into worshipping the devil. The first thing that was done was wash the children in scalding hot water, then have them pray at the alter, until they were ready for the sacrifice.
Kneeling at the alter, "Oh great master, hear your humble servant. We are ready to sacrifice these children to you." Lee offered.
When nothing happened Lee tried again, but there was no answer, which made everyone very nervous. They didn't know what it meant when their master didn't return an answer to one of their sacrifices.
"Master, what is going on?" Asked a man in a silver robe. 'Why won't the great one answer us?'
"I don't know." Lee answered, becoming very concerned.
This had never happened to him before every time he called his master he would answer him. Even from the beginning his master answered him, even for little things that Lee needed.
"He's mad at you, you did something to displease our lord." Said a panicking man in a red robe.
"I didn't do anything." Lee said, in a different voice.
"Then why isn't he answering you?"
"I don't know." Lee answered, becoming very scared
Cascade PD
Major Crimes
9:00 a.m.
"Is everyone ready?" Simon asked, while putting on his Kevlar vest.
"Ready as we'll ever be." Jim answered, making sure that Blair's vest was on.
"I don't think John and Bruce should come with us." Walt said, also getting ready.
"And why shouldn't we come along?" Asked Bruce, in a surprised voice.
"Because you aren't cops." Answered Walt.
"Blair isn't a cop." Said John.
"No, but he's been doing this longer and Jim needs him." Answered Simon.
"You're going to need me." John said, getting a flash of the children not wanting to go to any of the cops. They would only go to him because they knew whom he was.
"Why?" Asked Walt.
"The children will be to scared of going to anyone but me." Explained John.
"Fine, but you better watch yourself." Said Simon.
"I will captain." John said, with a smile.
It took them two hours to get to Lee's house and another hour to set up, making sure they didn't make any noise. Finally Simon gave the word for themmakemake the strike. Five minutes later everyone in the house was surrounded, handcuffed, and made to sit down on the floor to wait for Simon to come in.
A few minutes later Simon, Jim, Blair, John, and Walt walked into the house.
“Where’s Lee Brackett?” Simon asked, as he looked around. When no one answered Simon had everyone go through the house looking for Lee and the children. Jim and Blair found them down in the basement just as Lee was about to finish the ritual.
“Lee freeze!” Jim yelled, and drew his gun.
“No, you can’t stop me. My master will have these children!” Lee cried, just before raising the knife.
“Lee don’t, I’ll shoot you if I have to.” Jim said, took the safety off his gun and cocked it.
“I must so I can get back in favor with my master.” Lee said, as the knife came down towards the little boy.
Before Lee could plunge the knife into the boy’s heart, Jim shot him in the arm, knocking the knife from his hand. As Lee was writhing in pain, Jim and Blair untied the children and led them upstairs where they were to be met by John. Without speaking they gave both children to John so he could calm them, and then went downstairs to get Lee.
When they walked in Jim realized instantly that Lee had gone, so he expanded his sense of hearing to see if he could pick up any sound.
“He’s not here.” Jim said, after a minute of listening.
“How can that be?” Blair asked, in a surprised voice.
“I don’t know there must be a secret passage around here somewhere.”
Jim said, as he walked around feeling for air.
A minute later he felt air coming from what looked like a wall, so Jim began to feel to see if there was a way to open it. After a minute he found a latch embedded into the wall, pushing the latch it opened a secret passage.
“Can you see where it goes?” Asked Blair, as he looked inside.
"No, it's too long." Jim said, as he expanded his eyesight and hearing.
"Do you think we should go in?" Asked Blair.
"No, we'll warn all the hospitals and then wait for him to show up." Answered Jim.
"What do we do if he goes somewhere else?" Asked Blair.
"Chief don't worry we'll find him." Jim said, and kissed him.
Meanwhile, upstairs Simon was getting everyone processed so they could be taken to jail. One of the robed men looked likely to try something and escape. Before he felt someone's hand on his shoulder. Looking around he came face to face with one of the men that were helping the children, but when he tried to get away from him, he felt a strange tingling go through him.
John was looking after the children when he got a strange feeling that one of the robed men was going to try something. Making sure that the children were all right, John went to the black robed man and put his hand on his shoulder.
(John found himself and the man in an old house another man sits on a chair drinking and watching television. The black robed man turned toward
John, [He could never keep a job, so he had my mom work.] He then turned back towards the man in the chair, //Daddy, today is mommy's birthday. //
The black robed man said, in a child-like voice. [Do you think I give a fuck if it's her birthday, she's lucky I even married her?] The man said, voice-dripping hatred. The black robed man turned back to John.
[He hated my mother and me because he believed that we took away his chance of being with the woman he loved. " As he turned back toward his father, a woman walked in carrying groceries and without a word to both of them she went to the kitchen. She was putting away groceries when the black robed man walked in.
//Mommy happy birthday love you // He said, with a smile.
//Go away David I don't have time. // The woman said, not even looking at her son.
David turned back toward John, [They never had time for me, and it's like they never wanted each other or children.] David said, in a sad voice. [That's why I joined the cult because they promised me love and security.])
"John, what did you see?" Walt asked, when John came back.
"A very sad childhood." John answered, in a sad voice.
"How sad could it have been?" Asked Blair. Trying to understand how anyone could join a cult that worshipped the devil.
"His parents hated each other and him." John answered, trying to get the picture of the man's home life out of his head.
"Did you get a name, because he won't tell anyone what it is?" Asked Simon.
"I just got David." Answered John.
"At least we got one of their names." Said Joel.
The Sentinel Zone 16/18
Just then Blair and Jim came back from the basement, when all of a sudden Blair just stopped in his tracks, looking at the dark robed man with fear on his face. Jim stops as soon as he picked up Blair's racing heart.
"Chief what's wrong?" Jim asked, in a concerned voice.
He also didn't like the pale look on Blair's face.
"Nononononono, he's supposed to be dead!" Blair cried, as he started backing away.
"Who?" Jim asked, confused.
"Him, you swore you killed him!" Blair cried, as he pointed toward the black robed man. Turning around Jim looked more closely at the hooded man and realized that it was David Lash and he currently had a very evil smile on his face. At first Jim was speechless, he knew that he'd killed David, but then he became very angry.
"I killed you." Jim said, in a shocked voice. But before he could do anything Blair grabbed his arm.
"Don't he's not worth it." Blair said, not even looking at David.
"How did you survive?" Blair asked, trying to control his fear.
"It was my twin brother you pushed down all those flights." David answered, with an evil laugh.
"We talked to your father, he never told us about any twin brother." Said Jim.
"He was born retarded, so they locked him up and swore to never talk about him to other people." David answered, giving them all an evil laugh.
"Then how did you find out about him?" Asked Blair, feeling a panic attack coming on.
"Before mother died, she told me that I had a twin who was retarded." Answered David.
"I made sure that we became friends, and then I convinced him to play me when I kidnapped Blair." David uttered, before he started to laugh again.
With a disgusted look on his face, “Take him away.” Said Simon. He then turned toward Jim, “Don’t you dare feel bad about what you did you didn’t know that wasn’t Lash.”
“How can’t I feel bad, I killed an innocent man?” Jim said, in a sad voice.
“Jim, he wasn’t innocent, I’m sure he killed those people also.” Blair said, in a soothing voice.
As David was being led out John grabbed his hand, (John saw David walking down a hospital hallway. David stops at a door, opens, and walks into the room where a man was lying in a bed humming to him self.
//Hello Donald, I’m your brother David. // David said, with a smile.
"I’m here to take you home. We’re going to have so much fun. //
Time switched to David taking Donald home. David began to prepare Donald, so he could take him home and get him to be a patsy. After getting Donald cleaned he began to convince him that his name was David and he needed to kill people to feel better.)
“He made his brother think that he was David and that he needed to kill people to feel better.” John said, coming out of his vision.
“So he used his brother to kill people, and then switched places with them?” Jim said, hating the feeling he was getting.
"Actually, he killed all those people he just told his brother he did. It made him feel better thinking his brother did the killing." Answered John.
"So he killed others, became them, and told his brother he did it so his conscience wouldn't bother him?" Simon asked, trying to understand.
"That about sums it up." Answered John.
"Shit, that's one sick bastard." Bruce said, with distaste in his voice.
"What did you expect from a man who killed people and then dressed like them?" Said Simon.
"What should we do with him now?" Asked Jim, still trying to get over the fact that he killed someone that was being used by David.
"The first thing we do is get everyone processed and then decide what to do with David." Said Simon.
As they were walking out of the house Jim got a whiff of blood.
"Wait, Lee's around here somewhere." Jim said, as he began to follow the scent of blood.
While Jim was following the trail with Blair behind him, the rest of the task force was loading everyone into the vans. Jim and Blair were passing a Dumpster when Lee jumped out and was about to attack Blair, when Jim turned around and hit him across his injured arm. Without a posse to make sure Lee wasn't hurt too badly Jim handcuffed him and read him his Miranda rights
"I think we should take him to the hospital." Blair suggested, as they walked toward the police van.
"Why so can escape again?" Jim asked, pushing Lee into the van.
"No, so he won't die on us." Blair answered, giving a wince when Lee hit his injured arm.
"We'll take him to the station first, and then to the hospital." Jim said, as they walked towards the truck.
"Jim, you have to calm down." Blair said, picking up Jim's anger.
"Calm down, how can I calm down. First we find out Lee is out of prison but we were never notified, then we find out I didn't kill David Lash I killed his brother instead." Jim said, trying to control his temper.
"Jim, baby no matter who it was that you killed it was done in self defense." Blair said, in soft voice.
After thinking about it for a minute Jim realized that Blair was right, if he didn't take out Donald, then they would have both been dead.
"You're right as usual." Jim said, giving Blair a loving smile.
