Summary: Shortly after the dissertation issue, Blair and
Jim are still uncertain of each other and where the recent past
has left them, as friends. Before they can sort things out, they
find their position in the PD called into question. Blair, the
primary target, goes off on a search for answers. Jim, meanwhile,
finds his life deeply affected by the absence of his Guide and
friend. His immediate reaction is to go looking for Blair, but not
only are the two of them suffering from a failure to communicate,
their separate personal missions are also dangerously
uncoordinated. It’s not long before they’re both in real danger.

Author's Notes: Many thanks are due to the Big Bang mods
for their clear advice, excellent co-ordination and wealth of hard
work on this Challenge. Thank you, good people!
I am deeply indebted to my very dear mate and fellow fangirl soupdragon
for her unstinting encouragement during the long gestation of this
story, and for her invaluable beta-work. Any mistakes that remain
are mine alone.
I am honoured and delighted that this story has been illustrated
by Stargatesg1971, whose vibrant and amazingly detailed
pictures really bring it to life. Thank you so much, madam!
There are a number of ethnicities portrayed in this story. I have
used a different style of writing to try to convey the vocal
intonation of specific characters. Whilst I hope this is
successful, I would like to make clear that I mean no disrespect
to different ethnicities by writing in this way. Likewise I have
deliberately caused characters to use a western styling of Chinese
names where I feel such characters would be less aware of the
correct usage.
Finally, whilst this is merely fanfiction, people trafficking and
the continued, every-day incidence of slavery throughout the
world, even in the 21st century, are real-life horrors which our
governments still fail to tackle. Would that we had more Jims and
Blairs to wipe such misery from the face of the earth.
