Disclaimer: Characters aren't mine, except for the evil guy. Also, I created Miller for this chapter. I needed a character who was above Don, Terry, and David and I haven't seen one in any of the episodes yet. BUT I haven't caught all of season one so if there is one than I am a bad Numb3rs fan, just don't hate me please.

Ok, sorry about taking so many days to get the next couple of chapters up. I had to go back to school and spent two days moving and unpacking and all the glorious chores that come with moving into the dorms.

Chapter 6

Miller charged into the office, "How did this happen. How did he know who was working the case. And who did he get." They were statements not questions. Terry exchanged a look with David.

"We don't know and Charlie," she answered him.

The FBI boss stopped and looked at her, "Charlie?" He glanced at Don who was talking on the phone and had not acknowledged his presence yet. "Oh."

Terry eyed the man, "Does that change something?"

He scowled, "No, but when I was told it was someone of the team I just assumed it was an agent." He turned to David, "Have we established a timeline?"

David gestured toward Don, "That's what we are working on now. Don is talking to Charlie's associate Dr. Fleinhardt now, he talked to some of Charlie's students that have him as an advisor to see who he might of met with over the last couple of days. We know he was taken sometime after lunch because Don met with him about 1 this afternoon."

Miller gave a nod to indicate the good work done so far. He walked up to Terry who was putting what of the timeline they had on the white board. Standing close he spoke under his breath, "Should Don be working on this case?"

Terry looked at her bosses' face, "He seems to be handling it well. Like he would any other case, I think it is keeping him calm."

Miller arched an eyebrow, "We can't be his therapy for dealing with this."

Terry fixed him with a stare, "He's the contact." With that Miller shrugged his shoulders and turned back to the room. Don hung up the phone.

"Ok," he said to Terry, "Larry said that he was with him for about an hour after I left, he had to leave for an advisor meeting. He said that Charlie told him to call him when he was done and that he would tell him if needed Larry to come back to help him some more with the work."

"What work," Miller demanded.

Don signed, "The work on this guy we're tracking down. I've got an agent escorting Larry from CalSci now to bring him here."

David broke in, "Can he look at those papers?"

Don shrugged, "I don't know. He is a physicist, but he can definitely help us with what he and Charlie have come up with already and maybe keep working on it."

"How did the target contact us?" Miller asked.

"I called him," Don told him. Miller arched his eyebrow, crossed his arms and waited for an explanation. Don sighed, "The accountants found some patterns in the fake bank accounts that they couldn't explain. I called Charlie to tell him to come to the office and the target answered his phone."

"Did you get anything out of him?"

"No"

Miller blew out a sigh of exasperation; they got this guy on the phone and still didn't get anything out of him.

"What's the mark?"

Terry answered for Don, "Larry left the house at 2:30 and Don called him at 3:00. So we are looking at a small window."

Miller nodded, some good news at least. "What's the course of action."

"While we are wait for his phone call Don, Terry and I are going to join the scene investigators at the house," David told him.

"Wait for his phone call! We know he is calling back?"

Don answered that one. "The last thing he told me is that he couldn't give away all the answers in the first phone call.
