I am very happy to say that I really like watching Chritian and Syed from EastEnders and Chritian and Oliver from Forbidden Love.  They are two of the most interesting characters out there. 

They have their ups and downs, but Chritian and Olli have remarried and Chritian and Syed are getting back on track.

Yes. No.

Chapter 3/?

He took Brian's hand and felt for a pulse. As he took Brian's arm, Jim saw a lion with a drowsy look on his face.
"Well?" Hunter asked, seeing the far away look in Jim's eyes.
"He's high." Answered Jim.
"What do you think we should do?" Asked Hunter, knowing that a Sentinel on drugs was going to have a hard time coming down.
"Take him and Taylor back to Cascade and detoxi them both." Jim answered, as he helped Hunter with Brian. “Do you really think he’s a Sentinel?” Asked Hunter.
“Blair thinks so.” Jim answered, helping Hunter drag Brian into the bathroom.
As they began to wash Brian’s face he came back, “Fuck what are you doing?”
“Trying to get you out of a zone.” Jim answered; holding Brian while Hunter finished washing him.
“Leave me alone!” Brain yelled, trying to get away from both men.
“Listen to me, if you don’t stop the drugs they will leave you in a zone-out that will kill you.” Jim said, grabbing Brian’s chin.
"What the fuck is a zone-out?" Brian asked, wishing they would just leave him alone.
"It's when you concentrate too much on one sense for too long and you lose yourself in it." Jim answered; trying to find out if Brian was hurt anywhere.
"Look leave me alone, I'll be fine." Brian said, trying to get away from the two Sentinels.
"Brian listen to me, you're a Sentinel and there's nothing you can do about it." Jim said, trying to control his temper.
"I can always continue like before." Brian answered, with a conceited smile.
"You could, but what about Justin?" Asked Jim, knowing he was Brian's ace in the hole.
"What about Justin?" Brian asked, trying not to show he cared.
"You don't care that he's going to spend the rest of his life with someone else, sharing all his triumphs and failures?" Hunter asked, catching on to what Jim was doing.
"Love is for straight people." Answered Brian.
"This is bigger than love and more intimate." Jim answered, remembering how he felt the first time he bonded with Blair.
"I don't care how big it is, I'm not going to be stuck with anyone having to depend on me." Brian said, finally getting away from both men.
"Ok, it's your choice." Jim said, with a shrug. "You might as well say goodbye to him, because you'll never see him again."
"Who do you think he'll be paired with?" Hunter asked, deciding to change the subject.
"If he gets a high score, we'll pair him up with Peter." Answered Jim.
"Wow, isn't that a little prestigious?" Hunter asked, in a surprised voice.
"Why, just because he's my nephew?" Jim said, with a shrug.
"Jim, you're the High Senior Sentinel Prime of North America and you want to bond a new guide with your nephew." Said Hunter, in a surprised voice.
"What's wrong with that?" Inquired Jim.
"Do you think he has the ability to bond with your nephew?" Wondered Hunter.
"We'll test him and find out." Jim answered, with a little smile, picking up Brian's racing heart. With a smile of his own, Hunter asked.
"What's going happens if he's a low level empath?" He'd noticed the heartbeat himself.
"Then we'll find him a low level Sentinel." Jim answered, returning the smile.
"I think there's one in my department." Hunter offered.
"Is he a good man?" Asked Jim, knowing the answer already.
The man Hunter was talking about was not part of the clan, and he followed GDP protocol. "He seems nice, but since he's GDP I really wouldn't know." Hunter answered, with an evil smile.
"Stop talking like I'm not here!" Yelled Brian.
"Oh, sorry." Jim apologized. "It's just that we have to decide now before Justin's abilities get too much for him."
"But we understand, you're not the responsible sort." Hunter said, trying not to smile.
Meanwhile in the hospital room, Justin was having problems controlling all the emotions that were hitting him all at once. He tried to tell them that he was hurting from all the emotions that people were creating, but the pain was so unbearable that it was hard for Justin to talk. But after a while it became so bad that Justin yelled out from the pain.
"Justin, are you alright?" Deb asked, rushing towards him. But before she could get to him, Blair was already there looking him over.
"He needs a sentinel now." Blair said, after a while.
"There are no Sentinels" Said Dan.
Turning toward Senior Sentinel Prime Cruz, "Do you have a Sentinel that needs a guide?" Asked Blair.
"The only Sentinel that would maybe be compatible with him is still in training." Answered Sentinel Cruz.
"What do you mean compatible?" Blair asked, trying to control his temper.
"I mean in his level of ability." Cruz answered, hoping he didn't upset the High Senior Guide Prime.
"That's the problem we don't know what his level is." Said Dan.
In the meantime, Brian's senses were spiking and he kept getting a strange feeling that he couldn't explain when out of the wall a lion and fox appeared, but there was something about the fox that made Brian certain something wasn't right. Brian tried to dismiss the feeling and the spirit guides, but wherever he turned they were there, even when he closed his eyes he saw them.
"You can't ignore them." Jim said, seeing Brian trying to ignore the spirit guide.
"What does it want?" Brian asked, trying to figure out what the strange feeling was.
"They're trying to tell you something." Answered Hunter.
Brian was about to ask what, when the most excruciating pain he had ever felt hit him, causing him to bend over from it. At first Jim and Hunter didn't know what had happened, but then Jim felt the panic coming from Blair.
"There's something wrong, Blair's in a panic." Jim said, feeling the Dark Sentinel trying to come out.
"It's Justin." Brian said, picking up his emotional turmoil. "He can't control all the emotion hitting him.
"Brian, listen to me this is very serious. If you don't become his guide and we can't find one in 24 hours he's going to go insane." Jim said, in a serious voice.
"What do I have to do?" Brian asked, knowing that he wouldn't be able to live with himself if Justin went crazy.
"You have to bond with him." Jim answered, as they walked toward Justin's hospital room.
"What do you mean bond?" Brian asked, but deep down inside he knew what it meant.
“You know what I mean, it’s inside you.” Jim said, as the Dark Sentinel came out.
(Hearing that voice Brian got a flash of someone who looked liked him someone who looked like Justin wearing furs and they were standing next someone who looked like Hunter and his guide. //We're here to join B'ian and J'itan in a bonding. If anyone thinks these two don't belong together say something now. // Jeme asked the crowed standing around the ritual site.
//I object. // Said a voice.
//Who objects? // Jeme asked, looking around. /
/I M'itchel of the Otter clan. // A man said coming out of the crowed.
//Why do you object? // Asked Blaer.
//I wish to claim B’ian; his family promised him to me. // Answered, M'itchel.
//I don't know what you're talking about; I was raised by the Senior Sentinel Prime of the hawk clan. // B'ian said, giving M'itchel a hateful look. //Besides I never knew my family, they gave me up when they learned I was going to be a Guardian. //
Realizing that his lie wouldn't work, M'itchel was about to take out his spear when the guards grabbed his arm. Looking at M'itchel, Jeme was trying to decide what to do for this attempt at killing one of his men.
Turning toward Blaer, //what do you think his punishment should be? // Asked Jeme.
//A trial by all the clans. // Answered Blaer.
//The Otter clan has no Sentinels; they were all thrown out when their abilities came online. // Said an old Sentinel.
//How do you know this great one? // Jeme asks, in a respectful voice. Even though he was Senior Sentinel Prime, he had great respect for the older sentinel because they knew the laws of old. /
/They didn't want any of the politics involved with Sentinels or the responsibility of finding them a Guide. // Explained the old Sentinel
//What if they have a Guide born to them? // Asked Blaer.
//They never had Guides born to their clan, and that is another reason they don't want Sentinels. //)
That was when the vision ended, and Brian felt as if his world had turned upside down from everything he had learned. He couldn't believe that he was the reincarnation of someone from the dark ages. "Does everyone who's a Sentinel remember that time?" Brian asked, as they walked toward Justin's room.
"Those that remember that time were part of the clans back then." Jim answered, still in his Dark Sentinel persona.
"So what was Hunter?" Asked Brian.
"I was the Senior Guide Prime's Shield then and now." Answered Hunter.
Before Brian could ask what a shield was they had reached Justin room, as they walked in they could feel Justin's pain from all the emotions coming at him all at once. As Brian walked in he had an overwhelming need to protect Justin from all the emotions coming at him; so he walked toward him, got into bed with him, and began to murmur in a soothing voice.
"What is he doing?" Asked Michael.
"They're bonding." Blair answered, with a smile. [Now that they are bonded we have to get them to Cascade.] Blair sent to Jim.
[Why, they have a clan here?] Jim sent back, in a surprised voice.
[Look at his friend; he's going to be a problem.] Blair said, as he looked toward Michael. Opening up his empathic abilities Blair picked up some very heavy jealousy from Michael that almost knocked him off his feet.
Before Blair could fall from the overwhelming emotion coming off of Michael, Jim caught him, [What happened?] Asked Jim.
[His jealousy is so overwhelming that it knocked me over.] Blair sent back.
[Do you think he would try to hurt Justin?] Jim asked, while looking at Michael.
[If he got half the chance.] Answered Blair.
[Hunter I want you to protect the new pair, until we leave for Cascade] Jim said, Sentinel soft. [Why?] Asked Hunter.
[Blair's picking up some heavy jealousy coming from Brian's friend.] Answered Jim.
[We'll look after them.] Hunter said, as he turned to look at Michael. [Where are you going?] Asked Hunter.
[To make all the arrangements.] Answered Jim. [Everything is all set.] Jim sent to Blair.
He then turns toward Dan and told him, "We'll be taking Brian and Justin back to Cascade for training."
"What do you mean you're taking them back to Cascade?" Deb asked, in a surprised voice.
Jim and Blair didn't even acknowledge that Deb had said anything they just gave a nod to Sentinel Cruz and walked out. That was when Dan realized that it was up to him to explain what was going on, and he hated them for it. Turning toward the people in the room Dan took a deep breath.
"They are taking them to Cascade so they can be trained by the highest ranking Sentinel and Guide pairs there are." Explained Dan.
"What do you mean high ranking pair?" Asked Michael.
"Well you have High Senior Sentinel Prime of the US, which is Jim and Blair, then there's the Shield that protects the High Senior Guide Prime. Then you have the Senior Primes of Cascade, Pittsburgh, New York, and so on. After that there are the Primes and after them the rest of the Sentinels of the clans." Explained Dan. "They have their own laws, which supersede the laws of the US or the State they are from.

Chapter 2/?

"What about Taylor himself?" Asked Dan. Dan had become a spokesman for the clan after testifying against his father at a clan trial regarding Blair. He then became part of the clan after saving Sarah from a GDP officer, who wanted to test her and see if they could take her away from Hunter.
"He's eighteen, lives with his lover, and wants to be an artist." Answered Sentinel David Cruz.
"Where is he now?" Asked Dan.
"Dan, where do you think he is?" Blair asked, giving Dan an annoyed look.
"I guess we're off to the hospital." Said Blair.
They were getting into the truck that Hunter had leased, but when the GDP was going to get in behind them they were given cold looks, which made stop in their tracks.
"Guys why don't you take your own car." Dan said, when he saw what had happened. It was around seven o'clock that they all arrived at the hospital; they walked straight to the nurse’s station. "I would like to see Doctor Franklin." Said Dan.
"You name sir?" Asked the nurse.
"My name is Dan Slater and I'm from the Head of the GDP." Answered Dan.
"One minute please." The nurse said, as she picked up the phone to call for the doctor.
A minute later Doctor Franklin came out. "Hello, are you from the GDP?"
"Yes, I'm Dan Slater, this is High Senior Sentinel Prime Jim Ellison and his guide Blair Sandburg. We’re here to see Justin Taylor.”
“Please follow me.” Doctor Franklin said, as he began to lead them towards the room Justin was staying in.
As they entered they saw people everywhere, but before Doctor Franklin could say anything Blair, Sarah, and Jack all walked over to Justin and took his hand. It was a few minutes later when all three guides turned away from Justin and walked to their Sentinel’s.
“He should have no problems with his abilities for a while.” Blair answered, when he received strange looks.
“Can we take him home?” Asked Deb.
“No, after he recovers from the beating, we’ll be taking him back to Cascade.” Jim answered, while giving Brian a strange look.
“You just can’t take my son.” Jen said, in an upset voice.
“I’m sorry Ms. Taylor, but we can. An empath belongs to the GDP; they train them and then give them to a sentinel.” Dan said, giving Jennifer an apologetic look.
“Ms. Taylor, you should be proud to know that your son will be given to my nephew.” Jim said, while looking at Brian.
“And why is that?” Asked Deb.
“I’m High Senior Sentinel Prime of North America.” Jim answered, with a smile.
“And that means what?” Asked Brian.
“That means that no one will be able to touch him.” Blair answered, seeing a lion, a bay cub, and fox walk out of the wall. "He will be in one of the highest ranking families in the clan."
"Where would they be living?" Asked Mel.
"Since they're still in their teens, they'll be living with my brother." Jim answered, also seeing a lion, a cub, and a fox walk out of the wall.
"No, you can't take Justin away!" Yelled Brian.
"Brian, what is wrong with you?" Michael asked, in a surprised voice.
"He's my guide, I've been waiting for him for twelve years." Brian said, with tears running down his eyes.
"Bri, how can you be a Sentinel; I've known you since we were twelve?" Michael asked, in a stunned voice.
"My parents made me suppress my abilities." Brian answered, look at Justin with love.
"It's ok, Jim knows how you feel." Blair said, giving Brian a reassuring smile.
"They now accept him."
"My family never wanted me, so they'll never except these abilities." Brian said, with hate in his voice.
"That's ok, you'll have a new family." Sarah said, with a smile. "The clan is one big family and they take care of you."
"But first you'll have to get off the drugs." Hunter said, after taking a quick sniff.
"Is being a Sentinel hereditary?" Asked Lindsey, thinking about Gus.
"Yes." Answered Blair, seeing the scared look in her eyes. "I'm sure your son is too young for you to worry about."
"He's five months old." Lindsey said, trying not to worry.
Taking out a card Jim handed it to Lindsey. "If he starts to show signs of his abilities call me."
"Will he be taken away from us?" Asked Mel, she sounded worried.
"No, he'll be trained and paired up with a guide." Blair answered, in a soothing voice. "
Which clan will he be in?" Asked Brian.
"If you stay here, you'll be in Senior Sentinel Prime Cruz's clan. If you come to cascade you'll be in Senior Sentinel Prime Edwards clan." Answered Jim. "But know this, I lead the clans of North America."
Before Brian could say anything in response a sound came from the bed, when everyone turned around they saw that Justin was awake. "Oh, damn where am I?" Justin asked, in a drowsy voice.
"Hello Justin, I'm High Senior Guide Prime Blair Sandburg and you're in the hospital." Blair said, giving Justin a friendly look.
At first that was the only person he saw, but then he heard his mother calling his name so turning toward her voice he saw the rest of the people in the room. "What's going on?" Justin asked, looking around.
"Justin, baby I have something to tell you." Jen said, taking his hand.
"What is it mom?" Justin asked, getting a strange feeling coming off his mom. "Well you see honey…."
Before Jen could finish Blair interrupted her, "You were hit over the head with a baseball bat, which activated your empathic abilities."
"What does that mean?" Justin asked, knowing he was going to hate the answer.
"It means that you’re a guide, and must be paired with a Sentinel." Answered Dan.
"Who the fuck are you?" Asked Justin.
"My name is Dan Slater and I'm the head of the GDP." Answered Dan. "We train Sentinel and Guides and then pair them off."
"So I'm one of those freaks?" Justin asked, trying not to show his fear.
"Justin we aren't freaks, it's just that we have abilities that other people don't have." Jim said, trying not to loss his temper.
"Jim, calm down he's young and doesn't know any better." Blair said, taking Jim's arm. "Don't you remember Sarah, when her abilities came on line?"
"Sarah was more respectful." Jim said, looking at Justin.
"She was more respectful because she knew about Sentinels and Guides." Blair said, giving Justin a smile.
"Excuse me I'm still in the room." Justin said, in an annoyed voice.
"Sorry Justin." Blair said, with a smile. "Now, as soon as you get better, we'll be taking you back to Cascade for your training."
"I ain't going anywhere with you." Justin answered, giving them an evil look.
"If you don't come with us. The GDP will take you, train you their way, and then stick you with any Sentinel." Blair said, in a calm voice.
"And if I go with you?" Asked Justin, trying not to show he was scared.
“We train you and help you find a Sentinel that is already established in the clan, but doesn’t have a guide.” Answered Blair.
“What will the clan do for me?” Asked Justin.
“Give you security, protect you from those who don't like different people." Sarah answered, giving Justin a smile.
"Will I be able to see my family?" Inquired Justin.
"After a couple of months or until your bond with your Sentinel is strong enough." Answered Blair.
"I hope you tell the Sentinel that gets me that I'm gay, and I have a lover." Justin said, and looked at Brian.
"Well that's going to be up to your Sentinel, if you can see your lover." Blair said, looking at Brian.
Without saying a word Brian just walked out of the room, unable to face the prospect of not being allowed to see Justin. When Brian walked out, Blair saw a look come over Justin that spoke volumes.
Blair looked at Jim, "Go after him and have a talk." Blair whispered, Sentinel soft.
Jim gave Blair a look that said anything but that, but Blair just smiled at him. "Go he needs someone who understands." Whispered Blair.
With a sigh Jim grabbed Hunter's arm and they both went after Brian, "Why are you dragging me along." Hunter asked, as he tried to pry his arm from Jim's grip.
"Because you know how he feels."
"Why don't we just arrest him for drug possession?" Asked Hunter.
"Because he was trying to suppress his senses." Jim answered, giving Hunter a dirty look.
"I suppressed my senses without using drugs." Said Hunter.
"That's because you're a cold hearted bastard." Jim said, giving Hunter a smile.
"You're one too." Hunter came back, with a smile of his own.
"See, so you should understand why he was taking drugs." Jim said, in a serious voice.
Before Hunter could say anything, they bumped into Brian who was standing by the elevator looking out into space; "Do you think he's zoned?" Asked Hunter, when they saw him.
"Don't know, let's check." Jim said, walking up to Brian.

Summery: After the bashing Justin's empathic abilities come out, and the clan of Cascade wants to takes him in, along with Brian who seems to be a Sentinel.

Chapter 1/?

Pittsburgh, PA
ST. James Academy
Graduation Dance, 10:00 p.m.

Justin was standing with his back to the door watching the other kids dance when his friend Daphne started pulling on his coat sleeve. "What is wrong with you?" Justin asked, pulling away from her.
"Turn around." Daphne whispered, with a smile.
Turning around Justin saw the man he loved with his entire heart walk through the doors, and he was even wearing a suit. With a huge smile on his face he walked up to meet him, and without saying a word they went onto the dance floor. As the song began they started to dance causing everyone else to slowly move off of the dance floor. The dance lasted about thirty minutes, and then Justin walked Brian to his truck all the while dancing with joy.
"I'll meet you at the loft." Brian said.
"Ok, see you then." Justin said, before walking away.
As Brian was getting into the truck he looked in the wing mirror and saw Chris Hobbs coming up behind Justin. With no thought to him self he slid out of the truck and ran toward Justin yelling, "Justin!"
When Justin heard his name, he turned around and was immediately hit with a baseball bat sending everything black. He didn't see Brian grab the bat and hit Chris in the back of the knee, didn't see Chris fall. Brian dropped to his knees and cradled Justin to himself. He missed Chris hobbling painfully away.
It must have been thirty minutes later but it felt more like hours before the ambulance arrived and took Justin to the hospital. While Brian was waiting for the ambulance he called the family to tell them what had happened. As the ambulance was taking Justin and Brian to the hospital, the family was also on their way. When the ambulance arrived they took Justin to the ER right away, but they made Brian wait in the lobby for the news.
As Brian was waiting Michael and then the rest of the family showed up and sat with him until they knew something. It was two hours later when the doctor walked out of the ER.
"Are you the family for Justin Taylor?" The doctor asked, as he walked up to them.
"Yes," They all answered.
"The immediate family." Specified the doctor.
"That would be me." Said Jennifer. "I'm his mother, are you the doctor? How is he?"
"Yes, I'm doctor Franklin. It seems that the blow to your son's head caused blood to collect internally, but we drained it and right now he's in a coma." Answered the doctor.
"Oh, God!" Cried out Jennifer.
"Mrs. Taylor he is going to be fine, his brain just needs rest." Doctor Franklin said, in a reassuring voice.
"When do you think he'll wake up?" Asked Debbie Novatny.
"Could be any day now." Answered Franklin.
"Can we see him?" Asked Debby.
"I'm sorry, only the immediate family." Answered Franklin, looking at Brian.
"Go, give him our love." Deb said, giving Jen a push.
As Jennifer walked into Justin's room and saw him lying there with his head bandaged she began to cry. Sitting down, she took his hand, and began to talk to him about anything and everything. However, in the back of her mind she was blaming Brian for what happened to her baby.
(Where am I, why do I feel so strange?) Justin thought, as he slept. That’s when he began to receive strange impressions and feelings from people. The feelings started to come, one after the other, just bombarding him with emotions that he didn't know what to do with. "No, make it stop!" Justin yelled, as he woke up.
"Honey calm down, everything is going to be fine." Jennifer said, trying to soothe him.
"Make it stop!" Cried Justin.
"Make what stop honey?" Jen asked, in a confused voice. But Justin couldn't answer her; he was fighting all the feelings he was getting; which caused Jennifer to become worried. Taking the call button she pressed it until a nurse came in, she took one look at Justin and knew right away what was wrong.
Leaving the room she went for the doctor. "Doctor Franklin, we seem to have a problem." Said the nurse.
"What is it Carol?" Asked the doctor.
"It seems Mr. Taylor has empathic abilities." Answered Carol.
"Are you sure?" Franklin asked, in a surprise.
"Yes, he's crying for us to make the emotions go away." Carol answered, giving the doctor a sour look. "You know what we have to do?"
"Yes, but let me tell his mother first." Franklin said, hating this part. As he walked to the Taylor room, he thought about how that boy was going to be treated. As Doctor Franklin walked into Taylor's room he saw the man that had come in with Taylor.
"Shhhh, everything is going to be ok." Brian whispered, as he held Justin.
"Mrs. Taylor may I talk with you?" Asked Franklin.
Getting up Jennifer followed him out of the room. "What is it doctor?" Asked Jen.
"We know what's wrong with you son?" Franklin said carefully.
"What's wrong doctor?" Jen asked, with fear in her voice.
"It seems your son is an Empath." Taylor answered, with a sad voice.
As soon as the word empath came out the doctor's mouth, Jennifer's world spun out of control. At first she didn't know what to do, her baby was going to be taken away from her, and given to a stranger to do with, as they wanted. With that thought in her mind Jennifer couldn't help but start to cry.
"Jen, honey what's wrong?" Deb asked, walking up to Jen when she saw her crying.
"J…. Justin's an empath!" Jen said shakily.
"What do you mean he's an empath?" Deb asked, in a surprised voice.
"It seems that when he was hit, it triggered his abilities." Jen answered, with tears in her eyes. Turning to the doctor Deb asked. "What's is going to happen now?"
"I have to contact the GDP and tell them about Justin." Franklin said. Privately wishing that they would leave all the empaths alone.
"Do we have to?" Asked Deb.
"Yes, because if they find out on their own they'll consider him a rogue." Franklin said, remembering the stories about Senior Guide Prime Sandburg.
"What are they going to do to him?" Asked Lindsay.
"I really don't know." Franklin answered. "What I do know is that I'll have to contact the GDP about Justin."
"Can we be there when you talk to them?" Asked Mel.
"I don't see why not." Answered Franklin.
"When are you going to call them?" Asked Brian. (Can I handle him being taken away? Do I want everyone to know about my abilities?) Brian thought, as he remembered how his family reacted when his Sentinel abilities came on line. (What have the drugs I've taken for so long done to my own abilities?)

Cascade, Washington
GDP Headquarters
7:00 p.m.

Dan Slater was sitting at his desk going over reports when his telephone range, (please if there's a God, don't let it be someone calling to complain about Sandburg.) Dan thought to himself before picking up the phone. "Slater." Said Dan
"Hello Mr. Slater, my name is John Franklin. I'm calling from Pittsburgh, and it seems that one of my patients has developed empathic abilities." Said the doctor.
"I'm sorry to tell you this doctor, but people don't develop empathic abilities they either have them or they don't." Answered Dan.
"I understand that Mr. Slater, but this case is very unusual." Said Franklin.
"It seems that after being hit on the head with a baseball bat, his abilities came out." Closing his eyes Dan took slow breaths trying to picture someone who didn't know about their abilities suddenly having all those emotions.
Just then there was a knock on his door before he could say anything Jim, Blair, Hunter, and Sarah walked in. "We need to go to Pittsburgh." Said Blair.
"How do you know that Blair?" Dan asked, in a surprised voice.
"I felt an empath awaken." Blair answered; giving Dan a look that told him he should know this by now.
"Why does an empath in Pittsburgh concern you?" Asked Dan.
"Steven's son is showing signs of being a Sentinel and we want to set him up early." Answered Jim.
"Don't you think he's a little too young, especially for someone who's around eighteen?" Asked Dan.
"Steve has an older son around 15 who's just getting his abilities." Answered Jim.
"If you're sure, then we'll go today." Said Dan. Then he picked up the phone and began to dial. "I want to contact the GDP in Pittsburgh and have them find out everything they can about Justin Taylor."
"That'll be fine. We'll meet you at the airport." Blair said, before they walked out before they could leave Dan asked. "What if he already has someone?"
"Then we'll help them get established into the clan." Answered Blair.
"Blair not a lot of Sentinel and Guides want to be in the clan." Said Dan.
But they did want to join, because they would have help with the GDP. Blair just gave him a smile, knowing that Sentinels and Guides wanted to join for the safety that the clan provided. After a while clans from other states joined, that's when they held a tournament for who would be High Ranking Senior Sentinel and Guide Prime of the US. At the end of the tournament Jim and Blair had won because of them being the only dark Sentinel and Guide around.

Cascade Airport
8:00 p.m.

As Jim, Blair, Hunter, and Sarah arrived at the airport, Jim called the Senior Pair in Pittsburgh to meet them at the airport, so they would know the truth about the new empath. After making the call they waited for Dan to arrive, which was an hour later. It was around six p.m. in Pittsburgh when they arrived, where they were met by the GDP and the Senior Sentinel and Guide prime of Pittsburgh.
"Welcome to Pittsburgh Sentinel Ellison, Guide Sandburg." Said a man that was standing near the Sentinel, Guide pair.
"Who are you?" Asked Jim, in an icy voice. He didn't like the feel of the man.
"I'm the head of the GDP here." The man answered, wishing he'd never come.
Not giving the man another thought Jim and Blair both turned toward the pair, "What did you learn?" Asked Jim.
"His name is Justin Taylor, he's graduating from St. James, he's gay, and has a lover older than him by 12 years." Answered the Sentinel Prime.
"Is his lover a Sentinel?" Asked Blair, in a surprised voice. (Who would ever imagine that a guide could be gay?)
"No, but his lover has had every guy in Pittsburgh who's gay and some who aren't." Answered the guide.
