Tony is a Guide. He is quite an average level Guide, but it helps in his work and he doesn't need any Sentinel, thank you very much! He is quite capable as he is. Naturally, while attending a routine cold case interrogation, he has been kidnapped and held at gun point by (what the hell!) identical twins who could very well be his Sentinels, thank you very much! The best solution was to run home. Not! Because then there was drama at work, a pack of three vicious cats chasing him everywhere, and another kidnapping. Thank you very much for this! Not!
