Don was on the roof of a building across a parking garage, he was wearing a built proof vest, he was on his stomach next to David who was also wearing a built proof vest. He was looking out with binoculars, they were waiting for something. On a building on the other side of the parking garage a sniper and Colby were waiting. There were a few cars on the roof of the parking garage along with what looked like a system set up, a big screen like one used at baseball games, along with a sound system cameras and two big speakers. No one was paying attention to that, they were looking at one of the entrances to the roof. Don saw a shadow coming out from the rear entrance, he started talking into his ear piece. "Okay look alive people take a shot if you have to, but not until I.." He stopped mid sentence when he saw who it was. "Hold your fire, that's a civilian." Don ordered.
A dark brown curly haired man walked out from where he'd been standing before in the shadows. He walked into the open, a bomb was strapped to his chest in the form of a vest much like Don's built proof vest. He had an earpiece in his own ear listening to commands. He had his hands on his head, leaving himself open, their was fear in his eyes. "Don, you have ten minutes to get over here or he kills me." Charlie said their was a mouth piece hooked up to the speakers. The ten minutes was put on the bored counting down.
Twenty four hours earlier.
Don was walking up to the latest crime scene. David was walking beside him. Don walked under the yellow tape flashing his badge as he went. He went up to the security officer in charge. As people were being taken out on stretchers most of them were in body bags. "Agent Eppes I've been expecting you." He said. "Yes Mr.…Brent Miller." Don said reading the security officers name tag. "So did you see what happened?" Don asked. "Yes, I got lucky mostly from fear." He informed Don. "So what happened?"
"This guy walks into the bank with a bomb strapped to his chest, he tells up to get on the ground, then he gave the casher a bag, and tells her to fill the bag. It goes well up until he gets the money then he walks away only to blow up. Along with most of the people inside. I was hiding behind the counter."
"Okay well thank you for your time." Don said then turned to leaving, he saw his brother walking up to the yellow line like all the other people watching the cops work. Don walked up to him. "Charlie you can't be here."
"I'm just watching like everyone else I swear." Don nodded. "Okay buddy, just stay behind the yellow line."
"I will." Charlie promised.
A couple of hours later Don walked into the briefing room. "What do we have people?" He asked. Colby was the first to answer, "nothing. I hate to say it Don but we're at a lost, three bombings in a week. Using people as his detonators, this guy's sick. And he has no patter, no way for us to figure out where he'll strike next. A high school, a restraint and a bank, it doesn't make any since. Don, we need Charlie." Colby said. Don had been thinking the same thing, but Charlie no longer as clearance to work with them and it's killing him. He's pretty sure it's killing Charlie as well knowing he can find him but he just can't help. That's it, after ten minutes of thinking about it, he grabbed up the papers they had on the guy and left with out so much as a bye.
A/N: This is my first Numb3rs fan fiction, I'm not really good with the math, so I'm not going to be using it much. But other then that I hope this story is good. So please read and review thank you.
