Unexpected Mission by Gemini (gen)

Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Gen
Length: 10430 words
Author on LJ: Not known
Author Website: http://stade.homestead.com/geminits.html
Why this must be read: - Told by one of a gang robbing a convenience store it's more or less a tale of 'Blair is taken hostage... again'.

In general, I'm not a great lover of stories told in first person, but sometimes they work very well, and this is one that does. Rick, who tells the story, develops as an interesting character, and his comments about other members of the gang - 'That's what too much cocaine does to ya.' 'He's an unfeeling SOB.' - are brief but say a lot about both them and Rick himself.

I was surprised to discover that Gemini has never been recced here. I've enjoyed all of her stories.

I really enjoyed this one, Rick was a lovely character and I like the route the author took with the storyline. Thanks for another lovely rec.

Really liked this reverse POV, and seeing our boys from the other side, so to speak. Very enjoyable story, thank you for the rec!
