    Disclaimer: Pet Fly and Paramount own the copyright to The Sentinel and its characters. This piece of fan fiction was written solely for the love of the characters and to share freely with other fans. No profit is being made from the posting of this story.
    Author's Notes: Many thanks to the generosity of Terry Kadie, whose donation to the Moonridge Animal Park through the 2003 charity auction will help that fine establishment to feed and house injured animals. This story is dedicated to Terry, who liked my writing well enough to pay for this story, and whose patience in waiting for it nearly qualifies her for sainthood. ::grin:: I also wish to thank my wonderful betas, whose suggestions and corrections have made this a better story: Montserrat, who didn't hold back the punches when telling me what needed to be changed or added to; and Mary, whose suggestions, corrections and comments polished the piece. This story was previously posted exclusively to my personal web
    site and is also available there, complete with an end-story illustration.
    Story Notes: In addition to the warnings listed below, you will also find attempted suicide and graphic flashbacks of torture from "Paid in Full." (These scenes were edited slightly to fit this story. They are intensely graphic in nature, including references to castration and other sexual mutilations.) This story is extremely intense and focuses on Blair's
    psychological suffering and recovery in the wake of Bloomfield's escape from prison. CAVEAT LECTOR -- let the reader beware. As with "Paid in Full", I was very reluctant to put this story on the archives. PiF has already generated negative feedback, which I feared might happen if I made the stories public. However, I believe that there *is* an audience for this
    type of story, and it's more likely to reach that audience here. Do not mistake this for a change in the direction of my writing. For this series, and this level of graphic pain, I this is *it*. No more. Yes, some of my stories will still contain angst and h/c, but the focus is *always* on the love of Jim and Blair, the comfort, and the triumph of that love over all odds, even in this very dark story.
    If you do not wish to read this story, I respect that and understand it completely. This is a very dark and violent story (in the flashbacks), despite the heavy doses of comfort, support and love from Jim. However, if you choose not to read, I'd rather not hear about it. The warnings are here so that you won't be surprised/shocked by the story content. I think everyone should have the right to make these decisions before being blindsided by a story that might give them nightmares. If you choose the read the story, I welcome *constructive* feedback. Thank you. -- Nat
