Family Vacation

I do not own numb3rs nor do I make any money doing this.

I do not claim to know how to write an I really suck at grammar but I want to try this is going to be my first and probably my last story. But I had to try. So please be kind an if anyone could beta that would be great. I would love the help.

Today was the day we were leaving on a much needed rest. Alan was sitting and thinking about the past few weeks what with Dons near fatal stabbing an subsequent nervous wreck his youngest Charlie seemed to be. But today at Don and Don's girlfriend Robin urging we were all going way to a secluded mountain cabin. Even Don's team made arrangements to get the time off. We were truly going to have a family vacation.

Come on hurry up, shouted Don as he stuffed their gear into the suburban. I am coming as fast as I can, stated Charlie as he came down the driveway carrying his and Amita's bags. Dad come on we need to hit the road so we can meet up with the team an Larry. Don said as he finished putting everyone's stuff in the trunk. He slammed the trunk a little harder than needed but then again he thought I am in a hurry. He ran around the driver side an jumped in. His father and girlfriend just looked at him like he was crazy. Charlie came around an said sorry bro but you have not been cleared to work yet let alone drive. As Charlie slid into the driver seat his dad just looked at him nodded and they got into the car an buckled up an Charlie slowly backed out of the drive way.

In the back of Charlie's mind he was not thrilled to be secluded with people he new blamed him for what happened to Don and Nikki but he figured he would try. He thought to himself as he patted his coat pocket to make sure he brought his medicine. He had been having panic attacks since that night. Now he was used to having them but he thought he out grew them see it had been better part of 6 years since he had one so when they started again he was scared that he was losing his mind. The doctor assured him that he was fine and that stress can be triggers still he did not an could not stress that enough to his doctor did not want anyone to know that he was having panic attacks. He had kept it secret so far and he was happy having it that way. Did not want to focus on his problems Don was the one who was stabbed an nearly died. So he kept his own irrational feelings to himself. He knew this was going to be the longest ten days of his life.
