Charles "Charlie" Epps has always wondered just how his brother felt as they were growing up because of how smart he was. He knew that he was a genius, but he hated the idea of hurting his brother since their parents or at least their mother always spent more time with him. Once he did find out just how his brother felt about how thing were when they were younger it just about killed him.

He hated knowing that he was the reason that his brother had stayed away from home so much after he had joined the FBI. He hated that he made his brother feel inferior when it was the farthest thing from the truth. He hated seeing the look in his brother's eyes every single time he looked at him because it made him feel like he was never going to get his brother back.

When he started working on cases with his brother he finally understood that while he was smart in several areas his brother was smart in completely different areas. He finally had his brother back and for that he couldn't be happier. He would make sure that he made everything up to Don that he had took away without knowing it. Well, he would make up what he could.

When he saw, Don looking at him he shot him a smile and then started working once more. Yes, while they may had grown apart they were once more growing closer together and for that he would do anything he had to make sure that nothing came between them ever again. He just knew that they would be closer than before.
