Author's Disclaimer:
CSI: Miami is the trademark of CBS. Its characters are all the creation of Jerry Bruckheimer, Anthony E. Zuiker, Carol Mendelsohn and Ann Donahue. However, this storyline and Seraphim belong to me and me alone. There are also some elements of TheSentinel, which is the brainchild of Danny Bilson and Paul De Meo, and it is also the trademark of Pet Fly Productions and Paramount Television.
Now, I know that there are some die-hard CSI fans out there… And to them, I only ask of one thing from them… When criticizing my piece, please be constructive… Not critical or anal… There's much of the TV series that I have missed due to obligations that I will not disclose. However, I do have a general idea of how certain events came about. For example, the issue with Eric's citizenship…
Although it is plausible for an individual, who was born abroad and as a babe or young child moved to the States - legally, can be deported back to their country of birth in lieu of doing a prison sentence if convicted of a crime. There have been a few recent cases of such a thing accruing; however, majority of such cases were dropped due to a judge's discretion. Now, as I said earlier, the whole scenario is plausible, but for my story… It did NOT happen! Eric is an American citizen; therefore, he will be part of my piece from start to finish! Ah! And if anyone wishes to call me to task in regards to commenting that Adam Rodriguez (Eric Delko) has naturally curly hair, I would recommend that you should check out a TV series from the Sci-Fi Channel called All Souls. It shocked the hell out of me when I did.
Next issue… I am aware that Tara Price lost her position as the ME due to her drug addiction, and was responsible (in part) for Kyle's mother, Julia, going a little psychotic. For this piece, the drug addiction issue does not exist. I am a big fan of Alexx Woods, and I would prefer to have her as the ME, but c'est la vie… So as my form of passive-aggressiveness, I will not be painting Ms. Price in a very flattering light, and eventually I will be getting rid of her from any future CSI: Miami pieces that I write. For those, who do like her… Well… Yeah... As for Julia… I haven't decided what to do with her just yet. She will make an appearance from time to time. After all she is Kyle's mother; however, as of yet, I haven't decided on whether or not I want her in a "supporting" role or a "confrontational" role. As the story progress, you'll see want I mean and hopefully inspiration will strike me.
Well now, enough of me rambling on. Here's the first of what I hope to be many more pieces within the CSI: Sentinel series, The Awakening. I hope that you enjoy my piece, and remember, constructive criticism is always appreciated.
