Wild Guide
Chapter 2
Disclaimer-Those sneaky little Lawyers stole my money and gave the Sentinel to Pet Fly. But I'll get them. I sent the dreaded IRS Tax Auditors to seek out illegal and shady deductions from their tax returns! I'll get them I'll get the all…What do you mean the IRS AUDITED ME!!!? They know about…and they also know about the…Those lawyers have won this time but I'll get them in the end. Until I can make my comeback Pet Fly will still own them…
Warning-Sanity is optional. Following canon is also optional. Reality is optional.
Question to all the readers…Should I keep this gen or should I try and pair our two heroes up? And if so who do you suggest? Just a thought…All responses will be considered in Chapter 3.
Wow..there really is a story in here after all!
"My name is Detective Ellison. I was assigned to investigate the death of Professor Allen. We saw that a witness had escaped the scene. A quick glance at Allen's day planner gave your name and a time of when Allen was killed. We also found today's To Do list. The University cooperated and gave us your current address. I was coming to question you to see if you were our witness. It seems I was right." The guide was definitely nervous and wired for sound. His shields must be in tatters between the gun shot and the stress of the day. He wondered idly how wild this guide was. He couldn't feel any taming influence on or around him at all.
The government may have outlawed early training of guides but most Americans felt that the guides should still be trained from an early date and would often pressure those parents who disagreed to get the child-guide into unofficial training. To be a true wild guide was a major feat even today when training was optional. Nearly every guide had a 'tutor' hired to help preserve shield and begin the training process. But even those guide who didn't start legal official training were considered weaker than the guides not given as similar training.
Whole studies had been funded to study the phenomena. The result was always the same the wilder the guide the more power he or she truly was. However trained guide bonded faster and stabilized their sentinels faster than wild guides could. Many saw this an even trade off. Sentinels petrified the populace. They went insane and would be virtually unstoppable except by another more powerful sentinel. Get the guides trained and get them bonded. Unbonded Guides frightened the population only slightly less than unbonded Sentinels. Many people saw the bond as a leash that would keep both parties from becoming a nuisance to society. This was a myth that no one was trying to fix.
Jim's thoughts were finally interrupted as Blair finally spoke up. "Yeah you got it right. I went clubbing last night and got a little more drunk than I should have. The killer hangover made me five minutes late to get to work at Professor Allen's office." He had seen a life get snuffed out. The sudden mental scream had ripped at his shields. But knowing that a man that he had worked with and had breakfast with was now dead hurt worse than his shields. He had never known anyone killed by violence before old age, a drug overdose, and cancer yeah but not violence.
"Then you walked into the office and saw the gunmen kill him. You saw a couple of cops start to come into the building you start to go to them but the gunmen greet them and flash badges. You run as far away from the scene as you can. Are we now up to the present Chief?" The Guide was still in shock. It would be easier to get the full statement and descriptions while he was like this. Otherwise the he might start to try and overanalyze and get confused. "Let's get your statement down and maybe some descriptions of the shooters okay? While its still fresh in your memory." Jim got everything he needed in a good clip. Years of handling witnesses told him which questions to ask and when to simply let the witness talk. He got full descriptions and a good accounting on what happened. Satisfied he finally stopped Blair saying, "Okay Chief we need to get you to a safe house. We got one of your suitcases and your laptop." Handing Blair both, "I'll call the nurse in and she'll help you dress and we'll get you to the safe house in time for dinner."
