Chapter 1: Wake Up and Smell The Tears

It's so simple, so simple to wake up and think,

'Today is gonna be the day that I finally can say, there are no problems and my family is safe and sound.' Well, most people can say that but, there are a few that know that there is always something that happens.

One of those people are Don Eppes. For Don an FBI special agent, everyday is something new.

Thinking that today was a good day, Don got up. He did all his morning stuff and walked down stairs.

"Oh! Good morning Don." Said Alan, Don's father. "Hi Dad" replied Don while stretching. Alan was in the kitchen, reading the newspaper.

"Have any cases today?" "Nope, today I'm a free man!" said Don. "That's great," replied Alan, "what are you going to do?" "Well, I was thinking about going out to play some baseball with Charlie."

"You should!", exclaimed Alan, "You two never have any time to hang out, and being on a case doesn't count cause most of the time, you are worried about Charlie." "Yea, oh speaking of Charlie, where is he?" asked Don, looking around.

"You haven't seen him? The last time I saw him was last night." Don turned to his father. "Last night?" "Yes. When did you last see him?" "Two days ago." Replied Don as he walked out of the room.

"You haven't seen your brother in two days? Why?" Said Alan, following his son out of the room. "I was really busy with an case an-" "Why didn't you ask Charlie to help you?"

"I didn't want his help!" Yelled Don, turning around fast. "Every time, well not every time, but most of the time when Charlie helps me he gets hurt! May it be physical or mental, he gets hurt. I can't stand it! I don't want him to be hurting. The worst part about it is, he never says anything! I love him! I have never said that to him! He has told me lots of time!"

"Ok Don." Said Alan putting his hands on Don's shoulders. "I get it. You're not a bad brother. You protect Charlie all the time! I trust you and I know for a fact that Charlie does to."

"...Thanks Dad." "No problem son. Now, where is your brother?"

"Charlie? Charlie answer me!" shouted Don. "Char-" Looking into Charlie's room, he found the room a mess.

Charlie's boards were on the ground, his papers everywhere.

This isn't like him. This isn't like him. "Dad?" Squeaked Don.

"Yea?" "Where is Charlie?" Alan walked into Charlie's room. "Oh..no..." "Charlie?..."

"Charlie? Charlie!" Screamed Alan as he dashed in to the room, digging through the boards and papers as if he looked long enough, Charlie would pop out of the mess.

"Charlie? Don! Where is your brother?!" An defeating silence echoed throughout the room.

"You...don't..know.. do you?" "N-No..No I don't." Replied Don with a tumbler in his voice.

'Well.' Thought Don. 'What I thought about today been a day with no problems and having all of his family save and sound.. now I must thing I was crazy to think something like that.'
