Disclamer: The Sentinel chars. aren't mine, though I wish they were. The other chars are mine though
"Ellison, Sandburg, my office now!" bellowed Captain Simon Banks.
The two men looked at each other wondering what they did this time. They climbed to their feet and sauntered over to their captain's office. Poking his head in the room Jim asked, "You bellowed, sir?"
"Come in...the both of you and close the door, " Simon demanded.
Whatever we did; it must have been a doozey, Blair thought as he followedd Jim into the office and silently closed the door.
"Do you know a Cinnamon Page and an Electra Hope?" Simon asked.
"I use to know Electra Hope," Jim said confused, "we dated after Caroline and I devorced, but I don't know the other woman."
"I do," Blair said, "Cinnamon and I dated for a couple months before she moved to Main."
"Why do you ask?" Jim asked having a very bad feeling about where the conversation was going.
Simon took out his ever present unlit cigar and chomped on it trying to decide how he was going to tell them, "I'm sorry to be the barer of bad news, but both Miss. Page and Miss. Hope were killed in a car crash a few days ago." He took out two envelopes with each man's name written on them, "These were recovered from the car."
The two men took their envelopes with slightly shaking hands.
"I'll leave you to your reading, " Simon stood up, "you can use my office." He left the two stricken men already knowing what was written in the letters.
Once Jim and Blair were alone they opened their envilopes. Each envilope contained a letter and a photograph. The photos were pictures of infant babies. With blury tear filled eyes they took out the letter.
- Jim's letter -
My Dearest Jamie,
If you're reading this letter then I must be no longer here. I need you to protect our son. Yes, you read it right; our son. You need to protect him, Jamie. You see; a friend and I got into a bit of trouble with some high powered people and now we're on the run. I know you'll protect our boy with your life. His name is Evan James Ellison.
Yours Truely,
Electra J. Hope
- Blair's letter -
My Dear Blair Bear,
If you're reading this dreadful letter then I didn't make it back to you and didn't have the chance to introduce you to our daughter. You've always said you wanted to be a daddy, and now you are. Her name is Desire Page Sandburg. Blair, I need you to protect our daughter. A friend of mine and I got into a bit of trouble with some high powered people. I fear that they might go after Desire. Please you must protect her.
Love Always,
Cinnamon J. Page
Blair looked up with tears in his eyes. Jim looked over at his best friend, guide, room-mate, and shawman with shock.
"I can't believe what I just read," Jim whispered.
Simon enetered the office, "I see you two are done reading. Your children are at County General Hospital. You have the rest of the week off. Now, go get your kids."
The two men sadly smiled their thanks and rushed off to meet their kids for the very first time.
