He did it again, I can't believe it! She leaves a note for him and wham off he goes letting his dick lead him. This time she took things away from the loft. To some cabin he said.

I get off early today and come home to find a note on the table. Great I think. I finally get a chance to beat Blair to her, maybe I can find out who she is. Oh no not that simple for me is it. It isn't a note from her, it's a note from Blair telling me everything that is going on. That she left him a note directing him to a cabin, says he thought about it being a trap, but didn't think so. After all that he has been through one would think he has learned _something_. Not Sandburg though. Then I go up to my room and find another note this time from her. Saying that she knows she is taking a chance moving things away from the loft, but that she just wants to make him feel better. Yeah, sure. She just knows that I'm making things as difficult as possible for her. She knows that I've started to come home at unexpected times. Say I'll be gone for a certain amount of time then come back earlier. If Blair knew, he'd be upset.

It is eerie though, how she seems to have possessed him. He has stopped double booking dates and seeing more than one woman at a time. She is making him change, just by being absent. I don't want to be the one to help him through this when she leaves him, she will, though otherwise she'd let him see her face, right?

~~~~~~~~~~

I really don't know how she does it. How is she able to know everything we do and I am not able to notice something. I monitored the women's heartbeats, trying to find out if someone's acting differently towards Blair when they are here to watch us - no success. I try to watch if their body temperatures are rising when he's standing close to one of them - no success. I try to smell if there are more than the usual female pheromones in the air when they are around - no success. Damn! There must be a way to find out who she is and make this stop! But I have to be very careful about this, if Blair finds out, he would want to make me stop my search for her and I think he would be angry with me, although I never promised him I would not try to find out who she is. I'll have to think of something, maybe get all our calls traced... no, that won't work, the technical equipment would be too much for that. Or maybe a video camera? No, too open and the noise from it maybe would drive me crazy at night. Damn! I *have* to find out who she is!!!

~~~~~~~~~~

Today was really weird. In the bullpen, when I arrived, Rhonda told me there had been a phone call, a woman, who didn't leave a name, just said that she would be calling back. She jokingly asked if I had a new girlfriend. Not knowing what to say, I snapped and told her, it was none of her business. Later I felt sorry about being so rude to her. Hours later, I somehow had forgotten about that call, and when Blair arrived at the station, he said that he got a letter from his Mystery Woman, telling him to prepare me for a call from her. I somehow expected handwriting, but that woman is really clever! Again just a computer printout, like the note I got from her. The paper is just the standard one which you could buy everywhere and the printer is just one of the usual ones which you could find everywhere and even I couldn't find any faults at the printout. She seems to be able to even trick my Sentinel senses out. Damn! What are they good for, if I cannot use them to find out something conclusive! And Blair isn't of much help here, we only would end up fighting about this.

But I'm going to cheat on her! If she knows where I am, she's going to call me here at the station. I've already asked for help to trace the call from her. Simon wanted to know why I needed my office number to be ready for a trace, so I had to tell him. He let me go along with it, though he thinks it may not be worth it. If she hasn't hurt Sandburg yet, maybe she never will, he said. He tells me not to be that paranoid and let the kid have fun with her. But he doesn't understand!

~~~~~~~~~~

No call from her today, why hasn't she called?

~~~~~~~~~~

It now has been three days since she had wrote to Blair that she would call me. Still nothing. I stayed in the bullpen longer than I used to, just waiting for that damn call. The folks here start to think I might get obsessed waiting for that call. ME? OBSESSED?? No!! Damn! Blair is obsessed with her!

~~~~~~~~~~

Finally she called!

The tracking devices where in place and on my sign they started to trace her. I also recorded the call and tried to keep her on the line as long as I could to maybe get a clue on where she was located. Good thing that Blair was at the University during that time, he wouldn't have liked that I tried to find out who she is.

What she said was nothing new to me. She said she wanted to reassure me of her true intentions, not meaning any harm towards me or Blair. Then she really said something that made me wonder who she is. She told me she knew I was trying to trace the call and would remain on the line as long as I needed to make sure she was impossible to find.

I later found out she was right. The call seemed to be generating from several places at *one* time, and not only places in the US or Cascade. There were a few places in the US that seemed to be a possibility, three of them near Cascade, and then I really thought I was lucky about that. But then more and more places were added to the list, Tokyo, Paris, London. Add whatever town you'll be thinking of and it was on the list, but the calls didn't remain coming from those towns, they were moving. The only people I know who are able to do that are computer experts. So, that's a clue on who she is - she's a hacker or something like that!

Though what made me wonder at that time was that there were no background sounds to hear and I also tried to listen to her heartbeat and couldn't make it out. She seemed to be reading my mind, because she then said she was using a white noise generator for the background sounds and the voice I was hearing, wasn't her own, it was masked. I tried to get to her on a different level, I told her I would maybe believe her if I knew she was for real, if I could see her. Without those tricks, that I would get an impression on who she is, when we were talking eye to eye. Now I had her attention! She told me she would contact me later on that issue and just hang up.

The tape was no help. I later found out, after replaying our conversation, she was right. I couldn't make anything out in the background. But I'm still trying, I gave the tape to Jackson at the lab, he still owed me a favor and promised me to work on it, but that would take at least a week to at least come up with some kind of clue.

Now that I think about it, I already have some clues about her. She's an expert on computer and tech stuff, she knows about my Sentinel senses, she's very good at judging people, she's open for different sexual practices - regarding what Blair told me. She's an expert in massages and from the way she talks, she's very educated.

I am not sure why I am not able to believe her completely, though I want to see Sandburg happy with *one* woman. A steady relationship like that would really be good for him. I am not sure if she's the right one for him, though she had a sweet voice, reassuring and comforting and she already made him change. He now takes more time to get to know the woman he dates. As a result, he sees one woman longer than before.

I still have no idea which of the women she might be. I guess I don't know enough about them.

~~~~~~~~~~~

I hope she accepts the challenge I presented her with. I asked for her to trust me, so that I could trust her in regard to Blair. I'm not totally sure how I should react if she really puts this trust in me and does accept.

~~~~~~~~~~~

It now has been a week since I brought the tape to Jackson and I called him today. He told me he wasn't able to gather much from the tape. What he could tell me was that the equipment she used was ultra modern stuff, some of it even better than the things we use. So either this means she has money or she borrowed it. But according to Jackson, and he's more expert on that than I am, some of the stuff cannot be borrowed, which means - she's somehow wealthy.

When I came home today, I found a note from Blair telling me he had again gone away for the Mystery Woman. He this time didn't even know where he was going to, she had planned a paper chase throughout the town, leaving him clues and he now had to head off quickly to solve the game. As it was late anyway and I was exhausted and angry, I cooled myself off under the shower and went to bed. I tried to sleep but I couldn't - it was too silent and I was too worried. So I tried to continue reading the Kerouac book I recently started. After midnight, I heard him coming home. I resisted the urge to look at him but I even could smell his sweat and semen from upstairs, here in my bed. Added to the mix was faint smell of something. I opened my senses for that and still didn't know what it was, only that it resembled something like grass or tree leaves. What they did this night, I don't know but before Blair went to bed he took a shower, so I guess they may have been to a place out in the open somewhere.

~~~~~~~~~~

Today I got a note from her. She accepted and wants to see me. When and where - she didn't say yet.
