Why this must be read:
This takes place after TSbyBS, and Blair has join to Major Crimes. Shortly after this happens, Jim begins to act in a strange way. He's more silent, lashes at people, and, what scares Blair the most: he has lost his self-confidence. In an effort to avoid to have to suspend Jim, Simon sends him and Blair to a task forces seminar. But instead of getting better away from job's pressures, Jim gets worse. Blair is at lost, he has no clue what's wrong with his friend, and he is getting more and more afraid that he will lost Jim.
This story is a real thriller. We have a mystery, and lots of action. We have a wonderful characterization and a couple of OC very well done. And some nice hurt/comfort. *g*
This is what I'm talking about:
After listening to a few groups rattle through their hasty preparations, Blair whispered, "I can do at least that well. Even we thought of that." When it was their turn, with one last glance at Jim, he moved to the front and let fly. Jim remained in the back, standing a bit off to the side. He was bone tired, and sick at heart. It was rotten to put Sandburg on the spot, but he'd like as not decapitate someone if he had to go through another grilling. This day couldn't be over soon enough. He was dreading the evening even more. He'd given his word - he needed to come clean with Sandburg, about everything.
Jim tried to focus all his attention on his partner. Blair was doing a great job. They'd thought of several things that hadn't been considered by other groups, which was good. Maybe the questions at the end wouldn't be so tough.
A low voice next to him interrupted his thoughts. "For one so new to active duty, your Detective Sandburg has quite a bit of polish, Captain."
Jim narrowed his eyes, and stared warily at John. The guy hadn't drifted over to stand beside him by accident. "I haven't been a Captain for a long time. So what's your rank now, John?"
John wasn't looking at him. He was watching Sandburg instead. "In my line of work, rank is just an annoyance. As I said, Jim, a very impressive young man. I'd like to know him better."
Jim could feel every hair on the back of his neck rise. He had a momentary flash - Fort Benning, talking about Peru, repeating over and over that he couldn't remember. He felt more than saw an image of John's face, a much younger John. Then it was gone, lost, beyond his reach, except for the certainty that he wanted to keep Sandburg away from this man.
"Sandburg is none of your concern," Jim snapped, barely restraining himself.
"I don't know," John said with a slight smile. "Good mind, fine education, fresh ideas. Maybe I should offer him a job."
He was gone before Jim could utter another word.
Interesting, isn't it? Go and read Think Outside the Box, and let know the author what you think.
