Sentinel Numbers crossover
Summary: After TS by BS Blair gets sentinels and guides nationally recognized. A new sentinel and guide pair will eventually come to work for Don Epps at the LA field office of the FBI. While both the characters from Sentinel and Numb3rs will be heavily involved, the main characters, a sentinel and guide pair, will be my own.
"Hey Chief," Ellison leaned through the door into Blair's office. "We got a case, the major asked for us to be on this specifically, so you know what that means."
"Yeah, political posturing and bullshit," Blair didn't even look up from his laptop. "Give me a sec."
Jim Ellison, newly outed Sentinel of the Great City looked around Blair's office in the new Sentinel and Guide Center, or SGC as Blair liked to call it. Jim was of the firm opinion his partner, friend and guide watched way too much Sci-fi for a grown man.
The office, much like the loft, showed Blair's unique personality. There were Mursi idols, Arbore carvings, Surma pottery on the shelves along with books on more topics then Ellison honestly wanted to contemplate.
There was a desk near the window that was large enough for both Blair and himself to work at and still have space for drinks and a large pizza box. They had proven the desks versatility three months ago when they were first setting up the SGC. Blair had offered him his own office, but Jim figured this was his opportunity to sponge off Blair and invade his personal space a bit and so he declined. Plus with his job at the station he didn't think he would be here all that often unless working directly with Bair anyway.
The sitting area was closer to the door with a dark brown leather couch, two chairs, a coffee table and a large plant in the corner. Everything in the room, and in fact the whole facility, had undergone the sentinel sense and comfort test right down to the paint on the walls. From color to potential smells and fumes Jim had investigated it all. And had the headache for a week to prove it. But Blair and Jim agreed it was worth it if even one unbonded sentinel found a little peace here that allowed them to gain control of there senses.
After Blair's diss disaster Jim and Blair had agreed after much soul searching on both their parts that while Blair was a great partner and asset to the Department, he, and they as a team, were better off without him joining the Thin Blue Line. Blair brought with him the perspective of an outsider and they didn't want to crush that what made him unique with trying to fit a square peg in to a round hole. With help from Jim's dad, an army of the man's lawyers, Simon, and Jack Kelso the Sentinel and Guide Center was born.
Jim quietly proved the claims in Blair's dissertation to a panel of anthropologist from not just Rainier, but three other major universities in the Pacific Northwest. Shortly afterward Edwards was asked to leave the University in disgrace and Sid retired from the publishing game. Blair walked away from the whole thing with not only his doctorate, and a research offer to continue his work on sentinels, but also a hefty settlement from the publishing company. All before Sentinels, and this time guides too, once again made National news.
For the last three and a half months Blair had been setting up the SGC to act as a clearing house for information on Sentinels and Guides, not only for the sentinels and guides themselves but anyone who might want information on them. So far he had worked with hospitals, psychiatric facilities, search and rescue groups, and a dozen law enforcement groups, including the FBI and even four people claiming to be sentinels. The groups were pretty evenly split between people who wanted to know what a sentinel could do for them and what they could do for a sentinel.
The hospitals and psychiatric facilities, even the AMA had talked to him about symptoms, tests, drug interactions and treatment options for people who were newly online sentinels, misdiagnosed sentinels and emergency treatment of sentinel related symptoms. Jim and any newly identified sentinels would probably be put through a number of tests and trials before any new guidelines were official rolled out, but for now major changes were in the works.
Blair campaigned both locally and nationally for change in official policy. Cascade's local hospitals instituted specific procedures for the next time Jim would undoubtedly get admitted within the first month of the second press conference. The Cascade Police Department officially hired Blair on as a consultant, with his first official duty to write the Department's policy on Sentinels and Guides.
As Blair wrapped up what he was doing and closed down his laptop, tucking it into his backpack, Jim looked around the office.
Yeah, things were good.
