A/N: this is my very first Numb3rs story. I hope that you like it (if so please let me know). This story will be rated M (I think) because the Don!torture is going to become pretty intense if this sounds like something you're not going to like then please stop reading…However if you're in agreement with me that Don's life has been too easy until now……then come on: start reading (and reviewing ;)….)……o, before I forget: I don't own these characters because if they were? Let's just say I fail in the capacity to share my toys with all the other kids ;)

Summary: everybody always thought Charlie would be endangered by the work he did for Don but what if the situation would be reversed and Don would become endangered by the work Charlie did???

Your pretty when you…….

He had watched him for a very long time. First admiring him, then loving him and now? Now he was planning on taking him. The hide out was finished, there was plenty of food and best of all: nobody would even suspect he was the one that had taken him away……everything was ready only the other man was missing, but that would be corrected very soon. Eyes that had drifted shut while he had been thinking about the preparations he had made opened en focussed its attention once again on its prey. Today, yes today would be the day Don Eppes would finally be his.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Don Eppes felt uncomfortably, frowning he studies the guy that stands a few yards in front of him. He doesn't recognize the guy holding up a placard with Eppes discreetly printed across it. The guy is huge and very muscled, stands head and shoulders above the rest of the crowd that are present at the arrival's gate, with a cap firmly covering half his face. Don's eyes fly across the faces for a third time and once again not seeing David he slowly strolls towards the guy.

"Excuse me, but I think your waiting for me. I'm Don Eppes. Where's the agent that was supposed to pick me up?"

While grabbing Don's luggage the guy starts to walk away, answering Don's question and forcing Don to follow him. "Yeah, sorry about that but that agent couldn't make it due to an emergency so he asked me if I could pick you up. The car is parked this way"

Don eases up a bit, of course his team had gotten another case. While he had been away for a special training he shouldn't have thought life for his team would stay on stand bye. Walking slightly behind the other agent he can't help but to think of going home instead of the office, just enjoying dad's cooking skills and Charlie's ranting about math. He sighs, a sorrowful little sound.

The other agent turns around at the small noise. "Sorry, I couldn't get parked in front of the building, but don't worry we're almost there.

Entering the ground level of a multi-story parking lot, the two walk up a ramp, and up four more, the echoes of their footsteps the only sound. Just as Don's uneasiness is starting to return he spots the familiar car the FBI uses. Letting out a breath, that he didn't know he held in he shakes his head. God, that training had messed with his head.

Seeing the other agent pointing the key toward the door, Don rushes forward and reaches for his luggage. "Thanks man, I've got it now" The guy lets the luggage go and takes a step back standing just behind Don to open the door. Don gets a tiny glimpse of David who lies unconscious in the car, tied and gagged. But before he can do more then give a startled gasp he feels a sharp prick in his neck and the world goes black.

TBC…….?????

Now I can show you all kind of math equations but I think you will also just trust me when I say that I calculated the possibility that you're going to leave a review. The solution/answer was 100 percent…so come on push that littl' button!!!!
