Chapter 1

AN: I recently decided to watch Numb3rs and have also read a lot of other fanfiction stories and I decided that I try to write a story like those that I've been reading. I hope you enjoy it!

Charlie Eppes was sitting in his office, when a girl came running in.

"You've got to help me!" she said as she ran up to him.

Charlie grabbed her shoulders, in a way to get her to calm down. "What's wrong?"

The girl just stood there and started to say something, but before she could get anything out of her mouth, some strangers came in the door and pointed their guns at the two people that were in the room. "Well, well. What do we have here?"

Charlie moved the girl behind him. "Who are you and what are you doing here?" he asked showing as much bravery that he could muster while pulling out his phone out of his pocket and hit the speed dial button of the person who he knew would answer immediately.

"We have no reason to deal with you, mister. All we want is the girl." The person who looked like the leader of the group said as he moved closer to the couple.

Charlie looked at the girl behind him and showed her his phone, so that she could know that there was someone who could help. He then turned back to the men and said. "That is where you are mistaken. You happen to be here in my office with guns pointed at me. Therefore you added me to this situation."

The leader laughed. "What is your name?"

"My name is Charlie Eppes." Charlie said as he stared at the men.

"Why does that name sound familiar to me?" the leader asked, pondering the name for a few minutes before saying. "Your brother is in law enforcement, right?"

Charlie gulped. "Yes, He's with the FBI."

The leader laughed. "This is a very pleasant surprise. If you come with us Eppes, then we will let the girl go free. If you don't, then I'm going to kill both of you."

Charlie stood there for a few minutes, he looked at the girl that was standing next to him and said. "Fine, I'll go with you. But you do really let the girl go?"

"I gave you my word and my word is gold." The leader said as he pointed his gun towards the door.

"Don't do this. This man has nothing to do with this. Take me instead!" The girl said not wanting to be responsible for what was going to happen to Charlie.

"This is my choice." Charlie said. He then leaned forward whispered in her ear. "Help my brother in this case. And tell him and our father, I love them."

The girl nodded and watched as Charlie walked out his office, not knowing if she was going to see him again or the adventure that she was going to be a part of.
