It has been a normal day for the Epps brothers, Charlie was getting ready for his first class and Don was getting frustrated with his case like always. Charlie and Don had always been close, but not as close as most brothers are, Charlie sometimes gets annoying, but all the same Don loves his baby brother and would go the distance to protect him.

It was 8:00 at night, Charlie sat at his desk trying to grade papers when he heard a racket, he looked up only to see a girl standing in his room door closed behind her and a scared look on her face. Charlie tried to suppress the question that was fighting to get out but not luck.

"Excuse me! Can I help you?" Charlie asked half annoyed at the fact that she just came in without knocking.

"P-Please you gotta help me! Hide me before they find me! Please I'm begging you" the girl said nearly in tears.

"Ok, ok calm down! Um---here get down under my desk and stay there until I say and stay calm" Charlie said backing up a little allowing her access.

The girl nodded in agreement and got under his desk, because no sooner as he pulled his chair up and went back grading his paper; his door burst opened and there in the door stood 3 men. They where scary looking and for what Charlie saw he felt for the girl.

"Can I help you gentlemen?" Charlie said looking at them.

"Yes-Were looking for a girl we have reason to believe she ran into this building and she maybe hiding somewhere" the man in the dark suite said stepping up to him.

The man in the dark suite was well built, he had muscular arms and chest and he was a real winner. He walked up to him and shoved a picture of the girl in his face, but Charlie just shook his head and explained to him that he had been working and saw no one of that sort run by here, but some how that man did not believe him, but he decided to let him go….for now.

"If I find out your hiding her I will personally guaranty you will never see…" he was cut off by his fellow man.

"Nick, leave him alone he is just a geek" the other man said.

"Steve don't get me started" Nick said looking at him.

"Guys lets not do this" The third man said stepping in between them.

"Shut-up mike lets…." Before nick could say any thing he was cut off by another voice.

"Is there a problem gentleman?" said the voice form the entrance.

All three turned to see Special Agent Don Epps standing there Charlie himself was relieved the see his big brother there. Don just stood there waiting for the answer which he new would never come.

"No sir just leaving" Mike said going out.

"Remember my warning kid" Nick said placing a hand on his hair and patting it letting Charlie know how dangerously close he came to getting hurt.

"Hey! Don't touch my brother." Don said stepping in between Charlie and Nick

Nick just looked at him and turned and walked out. Charlie waited to see if they would come back which they never did, he sighed a relieve then looked at Don.

"Charlie what the hell was that all about?" Don said walking up to him.

Charlie didn't respond he just backed his chair up and told the girl it was safe to clime out from under his desk, she climbed out and stood up. When Don saw her he immediately understood what was going on.

"Charlie…" Don was cut off by the girl.

"Please it wasn't his fault I asked him to hide me! They were going to kill me! Sorry I need to find the FBI immediately and talk to Special Agent Don Epps" The girl said starting to walk out until she was stopped by Don.

"Ma'am I am Special Agent Don Epps! And this is my brother Charlie Epps" Don said shaking her hand.

"Oh! Nice to meet you! My name is Julie, Julie Daniels I-I have this for you" Julie said handing him the package.

Don grabbed the package and opened it only to revile a tape inside. He didn't understand what the tape was for, but he was determined to find out.

"Julie! What is on this tape?" Don asked looking at her.

"Something to help with your case!" Julie said looking down.

"How do you know about my case" Don said this time looking at Charlie.

"Because I am a material witness to a murder and because of that they are trying to kill me so I cannot testify! It's on the tape" Julie said shaking a little.

Don just looked at the girl with a little sympathy he shook his head and walked over to Charlie's TV and popped in the tape and watched it from the beginning. After the tape was finished Don turned and looked at the girl.

"I did not see who ever killed that man on this tape! Are you sure they were on here?" Don asked

"No! They are not on the tape! Because I didn't have time to catch them, before I could they spotted me and came after me" Julie said sitting down in the closes chair.

Don was fixing to say something when he was cut off by Terry and David who happen to walk in at the time. Don had completely forgotten David and Terry where waiting in the car.

"Hey! Don you for get us or something?" Terry said walking in David agreeing with her.

"Sorry guys! Terry, David, this is Julie our Material witness to the murder case were trying to solve" Don said introducing them.

"Pleasure! Don I didn't know there was a witness" Terry said a little surprised.

"Yeah! Well there is and we have to put her in a protection witness program until we can catch the guys and get her in court" Don said getting up.

Don, Terry, David, Charlie, and Julie all got up and walked out of the CalSai building and headed towards Don's SUV, unknowns to them the same three guys were watching them form a distance.

"Little brat! He lied to us" Mike said looking at his head boss.

"Well! See to it that he is made our gust of honor" Nick said Smiling as they sped off into the night.
