Seek and Destroy NCIS/Hawaii Five-0/The Sentinel Tibbs, McDanno

Chapter 12

Tim hummed as he sat down at his desk.

"You are happy today, what's happening?" Ziva queried.

"Nothing." He beamed.

"McGee, do not make me force you."

"A woman; her name is Emma and she has the loveliest accent."

"Oh, and where is this Emma from?" Ziva no longer cared as it had nothing to do with her.

"England." His eyes glazed over as he thought of her.

"Is there anything from Gibbs or Tony?" No answer. "McGee." Nothing. "McGEE!"

"What?" He jumped at his name.

"Any news on Gibbs or Tony?"

"No, I guess they've been busy." He muttered.

"I should've been the one with him." Ziva noticed McGee frown at her.

Danny and Tony glared at Blair.

"He's having way too much fun with this," Tony growled.

"You think you it's bad as guides, you're not the one tasting this crap or listening to conversations that are so mind-numbingly boring." Steve bemoaned.

"Oh, right not enough explosions or gunfights for you," Danny smirked at the look he received in return.

"I'm finding this fascinating. I'll talk to Mr Sandburg later to see what more can be done." Max jotted down some more notes. He found the link between guides and sentinels intriguing. Where it had a sexual element between Commander McGarrett and Detective Williams, also the same between the two NCIS agents. There wasn't anything romantic between him and Joseph. It was platonic but was still beyond anything he'd ever experienced.

"Agent Vance?" Blair walked over, his hand out. "I'm Blair Sandburg, this is Jim Ellison.

"This is my wife Jackie, our daughter is in with our son. A nurse Monroe is with them."

"She's a great nurse and knows to keep an eye on them while we talk. Please come with us."

Jackie glanced over at her husband; she was willing to try anything to help Jared, well within reason.

"You both understand about sentinels." Blair waited for them to nod. "The room is sentinel friendly, here's a list of things you can use which will make things easier on him."

"Thank you." Jackie took the piece of paper.

"What we're going to do is use two senses at once to start. We hope it will bring him out. His senses are overstimulated and if he focuses on one sense he can zone out." Jim explained.

"How did you learn all this?" Leon wanted to find out how this man knew all this.

"I'm a sentinel and Blair saved me. He's also my guide. They help us control our senses and can bring us out of these zone outs."

"How do we find a guide?" Leon demanded. "Sorry, I didn't mean it to come out like that."

"No need to apologise, at the moment we have no idea how guides are chosen. Myself, Tony, Danny and Max will all work with your son. We're hoping another guide will help." The sentinels weren't thrilled, but understood and Jared was only a kid.

"We appreciate everything you're trying to do." Jackie was still afraid to hope her son would improve.
