Brother of Mine
part 3

A/N 1: First...I *do* wish to apologize to DANTE...I know how you feel and normally I wouldn't post anything that wasn't finished because it really burns me to get to a good part in a story just for it to be left hanging for months at a time..I did it for revenge mostly (and just that fact that I enjoy being mean, wicked and nasty!!!!)---And secondly.. I had two very different plots in mind for this story and was curious what the readers might want to see....the purpose of fanfic is for the readers to ENJOY the stories... and share ideas!!!!!!

A/N 2: okay, the reviews are getting a little more constructive...for those of you who have never seen the Sentinel...sorry....it's a good show (*if* you like SciFi) and full of great looking guys!!! *Folks* I did state that it was a cross over...by the gods, if you don't like crossovers...don't read it..sounds to me like to many people just want a reason to bitch and whine !!!!!!

A/N 3: Now for the next complaint-----If authors would put out decent summaries then I wouldn't give some of the reviews I give...one reads fanfic (or watches TV) for amusement and enjoyment...I don't enjoy it when my fav characters don't get a lot of time, and when I have to ***waste*** time reading halfway through a story just to get to the plot (and characters) I get a little pissy..so those of you harping about my reviews that state it needs more Jesse...in your next author note why not state that it is a Steve story..or hey, do something novel and use that summary space and let your readers know the intent/plot of your story, instead of begging for reviews then bitching about it cause someone flames it..if you can't take the heat..don't post !!!!!!!

Doctor's Clinic Two days later

"So you see from the medical reports that all attempts at treatment have failed and we all know that dialysis is nothing but a stop gap solution at best. I've heard good things from your clinic..your success rate in transplant cases is remarkable." Mark said.

"So how soon can we do this?" Rafe asked.

"Now Mr. Rafe..it's not that easy as I'm sure your physician has told you. There are quite a few more tests that need to be done..and we need to get you on the national registry." Dr. Carson said.

"Registry?" Rafe questioned. "What registry?"

"He's all ready listed." Mark said, looking over at his 'patient' he continued urgently. "But I'm afraid it doesn't look promising."

"I need something now..if it's a matter of money..." Brian pleaded.

"It's not about money Mr. Rafe, its about the availability of viable organs...." the doctor explained.

"You're my last chance.." Brian said.

"Listen Brian, why don't you wait outside and let me finish talking to the doctors." Mark said.

The detective looks over at the doctor, raised eyebrows conveying a very loud--- 'I don't think so'.

"It's just some doctor talk, that's all Brian, we'll be right out....I promise." Mark said.

"Fine, doc, just a few minutes." Brian said reluctantly, rising from the chair.

As the door closed, Dr. Carson looked at Mark. "I'm really sorry Dr. Sloan that the news isn't better."

"I know, the shortage of organs....it's a shame, the young man has such a bright future, his father will be devastated that his son won't be able to manage the business..his father has been such a major contributor to the hospital where I work. His father would move earth and sky to make sure his son survives..we of course tested him but a chronic condition made transplant impossible." Mark said.

"We will do everything we can Dr. Sloan."

"Thank you Dr. Carson," Mark said, getting up from his chair. "I promised his father I would do everything....and anything to help his son."

"So won't we doctor, so won't we." Carson said as he and Mark shook hands.

Hospital parking lot Jim's truck

"Show time." Jim said with a smirk.

"You are enjoying this way to much man. Where is my blessed protector...I'm going into the lions den here." Blair grumbled.

"Chief, it's a lab..and all your doing is getting blood drawn." Jim said.

"You better hope this is the right hospital..I *am not* going to go to all the labs in town and letting these vampires drain me dry." Blair continued to grumble.

"I thought you lived for this chief..the excitement of undercover work." Jim said with a chuckle. "Listen chief, it's a good chance that this is the right lab...all three of the surgeons at the clinic has privileges here."

"Maybe we should have had you and Stephen do this." Blair said.

"Don't think so..Stephen's not a cop..."

"I'm not either." Blair pouted.

"Ah, but you are our brave consultant..who thinks he's a cop." Jim teased.

"I hate you." Blair grumbled.

Jim just laughed. "Just remember, chief, you're not alone in this...no doubt the doctors at the clinic will want to run some tests of their own on Brian."

Blair sobered at the thought. "I hope Dr. Sloan knows what he's doing. It's one thing for him and Serena to work us up some medical records, it's another to actually go into that place; I mean, what if those doctor's want to run tests that Mark and Serena have no control over or something..."

"They've got backup...Henri and Steve are outside the clinic and Brian's wearing a wire. If things get to rough, we'll pull them out." Jim said.

"But that would put us back to square one in the investigation." Blair said with a frown.

"Then we better get it right the first time." Jim stated, pointing towards the hospital entrance. "Don't you have an appointment?"

"Well, let's get this over with." Blair grumbled, as he opened the truck door and slid out.

"So, how did it go gentlemen?" Simon asked the assembled group in his office.

"The vampires sucked me dry at the lab." Blair grumbled, picking at the large bandage on his arm.

"Don't mind him Captain, he's just cranky because they didn't give him a lollipop." Jim teased.

"Your sacrifice in this case is duly noted Sandburg." Simon said sarcastically.

"My fake medical records gave a stellar performance..." Brian commented.

"Your groveling wasn't bad either." Henri joked.

"You wound me..a dying man." Brain shot back melodramatically.

Chuckling at the antics of the two men, Mark reported. "I think I dangled enough dollar signs in front of Carson and Bradley..made it clear that we were willing to do *anything* to be moved forward on the list.."

"So now we wait and see if they take the bait." Steve said.

"So that means they should be calling me soon with the 'terrible' news..." Blair said, turning to Mark he asked. "So what disease do you think I'll have doc?"

TBC......maybe ?????????
