Author's Notes: I've decided to throw a curve Ball in this chapter, how exactly it will affect the rest of the upcoming chapters has yet to be decided and I'm playing around a little with The Sentinel Cannon from the second part of Sentinel Too. I know I'm kind of giving away the surprise right now, but not by much. On with the story:
Jim and Blair arrived at Las Vegas General Hospital a half hour after they touched down in Vegas. They then made their way directly to room 211. Simon was able to help them that much before the two of them had left. Jim could tell that Blair was on edge. He couldn't exactly blame him, but there wasn't too much that either of them could do until they had a chance to talk to Brass.
"Take a few deep breaths Chief."
"Easy for you to say man."
"We'll find the person that did this don't worry about that."
"Before how many more people die?" questioned Blair.
"I don't know Chief, but I hope it won't be anymore." Said Jim knowing that it would probably not be the case considering Leah's prolific writing and the reports that he read on David Kane on the flight over.
The door was halfway open when they got there. Blair tentatively knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Leah's mood instantly brightened when both Jim and Blair walked in. She was glad it wasn't her doctor or yet another nurse coming in to check and see how she was doing.
"You don't know how good it is to see you." Said Blair.
"I know."
"Simon know that the two of you are here?"
"Yes he does, don't worry about that." Said Jim with a grin. Leah had been a witness to a few of Simon's voicing of displeasure on the way a case was being handled.
"Did either of you see my dad on the way in?"
"No, we didn't it's very possible that he went home to get some rest." Said Jim.
"This is my dad that we're talking about Jim. He's dedicated to his work. " she said as she sat up a little bit more in her hospital bed. "So, have they found anything out yet about who attacked me?"
"We don't know. We haven't had a chance yet to stop and talk to Brass. He's on the scene of another murder, and that's the last thing that you should be worrying about." Jim said.
(Meanwhile at a Military Base in Nevada) Alex Barnes awoke in a world of confusion. The last place she remembered being in was the Sentinel Temple in Peru. Now she found herself in a room that was padded. How did she get here? When did she get here? And who had put her here? Her senses were still a little off kilter, but improving. Plus she was having the dreams again. The ones of a panther and a jaguar, which meant that there had to be another Sentinel close by, one that she knew. Then much to her surprise the door to her room opened. It was a guard of some kind, and from the looks of things a new one to boot. Within a few minutes she was able to over power him and escape her prison. Now she'd just bide her time until she could Jim Ellison and finish what she had planned in the first place.

"So, what have you got for me?" asked Greg Sanders when he saw Catherine and Warrick walk into his home turf.
"Evidence, evidence and more evidence, which may or may not be connected to the Chandle case." Said Catherine.
"Hand it over and let me work my magic." Said Greg with a smile.
"So you mean to tell me that for once you're not back logged?" questioned Warrick.
"Technically yes, but if this has anything to do with Grissom's daughter it takes my top priority."
"We owe you one Greg."
"I'll put it on your tab. I'll beep you if I find out anything." He said as Warrick and Catherine started to exit the DNA lab to see how Nick and Sara were coming along.
(A half an hour later) Jim and Blair arrived at the Criminalistics building to see if Brass or any of the others that were working on Leah's case were in to see if they could help in anyway possible. When they entered the building it was quiet, no one was out and wandering the halls at this hour. Jim let out the breath he hadn't know he had been holding. There was something else going on here that he couldn't quite put his finger on what.
"You okay there Big Guy?"
"Yeah Darwin I'm fine." He said lying through his teeth. Best not to mention anything quite yet. Blair was already on edge with Leah being in the hospital and her attacker still on the loose. He didn't want to add to his list of worries. He then saw a woman with blonde hair exit a room and make their way towards them.
"Can I help you gentlemen?" she asked.
"Yes, We're looking for Detective Brass or anyone that's working on the Chandle case." Said Jim.
"And you are?" she asked giving both Jim and Blair very critical looks.
"I'm Detective Jim Ellison and this is my partner Blair Sandburg, from the Cascade Police Department."
"Cascade? This is a little out of your jurisdiction and why do the two of you happen to have such an interest in this case?" she asked crossing her arms over her chest.
" My partner just happens to be Ms. Chandle's boyfriend, and we're here to help in anyway we can to catch whoever did this." Said Jim do his hardest to keep his cool. The woman's mood then softened slightly.
"I'm Catherine Willows. I happen to be working on Ms. Chandle's case and we've been trying to get a hold of you, and we'll take any help that we can get. If you'd follow me I'll try and round up the others and we can tell you exactly how much we know and if you can shed anymore light on David Kane."
"Kane! I thought he was still behind bars. You think he may have done this?" questioned Blair.
"We don't know that for sure yet. But we found out that he did get released from jail early on good behavior. We're still trying to get in contact with his parole officer, if he even has one to find out his current whereabouts." Said Catherine as she motioned for Jim and Blair to follow her towards the break room where she knew the others would be.
