Why This Must Be Read:The Summary says: Rodney McKay has been the lead expert in all things abnormal since he first built a non-working nuclear bomb in sixth grade and used it to frighten away the poltergeist in his school. The FBI, Interpol, MI-6… he’s worked with them all, traveling the world to save the day again and again. It was the curse of his status as an unbonded Guide that he never found a place, or a Sentinel, to call home. But when people start brutally dying all over the planet, Rodney ends up teaming up with CIA Agent John Sheppard and finds something he’d never even realized he was missing.
Another Sentinel and Guide story I recently found. Rodney is a strong guide and he suspects John to be a sentinel and is reluctant to reveal his own gifts or ask John about his as they chase around the globe on the trail of a serial killer. But as with many McShep romances... well John and Rodney are perfect together as Sentinel and Guide.
Woolsey was talking with an agent in hushed tones, but Caldwell watching him with interested eyes and Rodney glared. “Woolsey,” he said, calling the FBI director back.
“Right,” Woolsey nodded, waving the agent off. “Yes, we need you to follow its movements, see if you can get a read on the type of creature it is and who we can negotiate with to convince it to stop this, well these killings.”
“And how many have we uncovered thus far?” Rodney asked.
“Not many,” Woolsey admitted. “The files will be available to you as soon as you say you’re on the case.”
“And if we can’t get it to stop,” Rodney raised an eyebrow.
Caldwell huffed a harsh laugh. “Then we’ll dispose of the demon as quickly as possible.”
Rodney rolled his eyes. “Done.” He nodded to Woolsey. “I’ll do it.” It was an intriguing mystery if nothing else.
“You’ll need a partner,” Caldwell cut in before Woolsey could do anything more than let a look of relief pass over his face.
“I’m sorry,” Rodney glared. “Need I remind you that I am perfectly capable of defeating one demon by myself, Agent Caldwell?”
“You misunderstand me, Dr. McKay,” Caldwell began.
“No, you misunderstand,” Rodney interrupted him. “Your government recruited me when I was fourteen. I’ve been working freelance for agencies all over the globe since I got my first PhD in Paranormal Containment. So do not tell me that I need some blind little junior agent bumbling his way through this investigation to help me.” He paused. “Besides, you’re CIA and last I checked demons inside the confinement of US borders are under FBI purview.”
Caldwell’s mouth had tightened grimly. “Sorry doc,” he said, not sounding sorry at all. “But this one hasn’t just struck the US. You get one of mine and you’ll work with him, or I’ll have the President himself order you.”
“You forget, I’m still a Canadian citizen,” Rodney told him.
“You have duel citizenship,” Caldwell shot back. “And the President wants this thing to disappear as quickly as possible.” He reached a hand out and a non-descript agent quickly put a file in it. He handed it over to Rodney, who took it reluctantly.
Rodney glanced at the name, no picture given, and then at the listed record. “Senior Agent John Sheppard?”
“I’m sure you’ll get along marvelously,” Woolsey stated, clasping his hands together.
Rodney stared, slightly horrified as Caldwell nodded.
