Notes: This is a little idea I had about Eureka. Please let me know if it's worth continuing (or if it's been done before, I didn't see it, but I might have missed it) through reviews.
Characters owned by someone else. Not me. I don't think there will be any additions of my own in this storyline.
Eureka could be trouble. It was trouble for Jack Carter most of the time. Crazy stuff happened in this little corner of Oregon, stuff that no one wanted to know. Despite Eva Thorne's chart showing that the crazy meter went off the charts when former Marshal Carter took over as the town's chief law enforcement officer, the people liked Jack. And he liked them. The town gave his kid a chance to straighten up and fly right, and she did, straight to Harvard.
Things even went right for the beloved Sheriff. Of course, it took a kneeling in the middle of an international concourse in Portland for it to happen. Dr. Tess Carter kept her job as head of Section 5, while Alison Blake came back to work as the main boss. Despite some misgivings about a marriage between two of her higher-ranking employees, Alison bit her tongue and proceeded to deal with the personally painful situation. There were no more looks between Alison and Jack, no more stolen glances, no more runs for coffee at Café Diem. Just business. Alison's plate was full keeping up with GD, Kevin, and Jenna.
One day, Alison got an email from one of General Mansfield's aides. The note was pretty innocent on its face. Eureka needed a shrink. Since the Beverly Barlow debacle, the town really went unserved as far as mental health was concerned. In an enclave of scientists and folks that tended to have more psychological issues than the general population, a psychiatrist needed to be on staff. The note gave her a month to interview candidates. And the aide was kind enough to attach a list of CV and contact information for some people who were prequalified to work in a classified DOD environment.
Alison pressed the button on her desk that activated the polarizing glass surrounding her office when she looked at the first page of candidates. She smiled, laughed, and wondered how her first choice would go over.
The name Dr. Abigail Carter was third on the list. Yes, this was one hiring process that would provide lots of fun and frivolity for the stressed head of Global Dynamics.
