Sorry it has been too long in updating this story. This one I actually have mapped out in my head (unlike the other stories where I just go) it just the dialog is hard for me to find. Anyway, hope you enjoyed.

Don put his hand on Charlie's shoulder and asked, "Are you okay Charlie?"

Charlie nodded, "Yeah. I'll be fine."

Alan rushedinto the garage. His eyes filled with worry. He says, "Who wants to explain what's going on here? Why are these men laying on my garage floor? Why is Charlie's lip bleeding?"

Don quickly walked to his dad to try to calm him down. "Dad it's alright now. Calm down."

"I will not calm down."

Charlie tried also, "Dad please listen to Don. We'll tell you everything. Just calm down and go into the house.'

Speechless Alan glared at both of his sons and walked into the house.

Don turned to David and said, "Finish securing the scene. Let the EMT's in to see these guys and see if they get them awake and ready to have a little chat."

David nodded, "Got it."

Don and Charlie headed into the house. Don turned to Charlie and said, "Let me do the talking."

"Yeah sure." He said as he held the icepack to his lip.

They found Alan standing in front of the fireplace looking at their mother's wedding photo. He turned scared and angry eyes on both of them. "Tell me what happened?"

Don ran his hand through his head, 'Charlie was out in the garage…"

Alan barked, "No I want Charlie to tell me what happened?"

Charlie gave an alarm looked to his brother; "As Don said I was out in the garage when those three men came in. They pointed a gun at me and told me not to make a sound." He took a deep breath. "Right then Don came in and surprised them. Everything else moved so fast. I guess I used some of the self-defense moves that Colby taught me. I guess Don took out the other two and the next thing I remember was that all three guys were on the floor and I have a fat lip."

Alan said angrily, "I told you Don that I didn't think that your brother should work with you. It's too dangerous."

Don spoke as gently as he could, 'Dad I don't think this has to do with my job. We'll know more once we interrogate those men." He put his hands out in front of him, "Dad listen if Charlie hadn't acted so quickly taking out the one guy things may have gone down a lot different."

Alan arched an eyebrow, "Why doesn't that make me feel any better?"

David came into the house, "Don two of the guys are conscience."

"Good. Get him into an interrogation room. I want to have a chat with him. Call Reynolds and get a team to watch the house for the night till we make sure that nothing else happens." He turned to his dad and Charlie; "I'm posting an agent on the house 24 hours till we get to the bottom of this. There also will be someone shadowing you too. No arguments." With that he spun on his heel and left.

Alan muttered, "Wonderful."

Colby walked out of the interrogation room, "My guy won't talk. He won't even tell me his name."

Don shook his head, "Mine either."

David came in, "Don finger prints came in on all three of the. They have rap sheets longer then my tax forms."

"Hey guys. Someone call a AUSA." Said Nadine Hodges with a warm smile.

"Hey Nadine. Nice rock." He said as he glanced at the large engagement ring on her finger.

She smiled at him and said, "Jealous? I'm sure your boyfriend will give you one real soon.

Don laughed, "Yeah sure. Let me fill you in on the situation."

After listening to the events of the evening she said, "Tell them the first one who talks get the prize. I'll plead them down. If not tell them I'll file charges against them for attempted abduction of a federal employee and that is accompanied by a life sentence."

"Thanks. Colby let's see who blinks first."

Colby grinned and said to David, 'Five bucksit's my guy."

David laughed, "Easiest five bucks I'll earn all day. My money's on Don."

Don shook his head and went in to talk the perp.

He stepped into the room, "Mr. Caruthers." The man's eyes opened wide. "Yes your finger prints tell a wonderful story." He opened the file and started placing photos in front the man, "You've been very busy over the last five years. The AUSA is prepared to make you a deal if you tell me why you were after Dr. Charles Eppes."

The man's eyes looked up and at Don and then back to the file in front of him. After a long 30 seconds he said, "Will I get protection if I talk? Cause if he knows I talked I am good as dead."

Don stared at the man for a moment before nodding in agreement.

"They ordered a mathematician. So he told us to take Dr. Eppes."

Don snarled, "Ordered?"

Caruthers said casually, "Yes, Hendricks provides a unique service. People tell him what they want. And he finds it. Why do you think those other women were taken?"

Not wanting to give anything away Don replied, "You mean Catherine Evans?"

"Yeah she's one of them. She killed one of Hendricks's best men" He snarled.

Don kept his face neutral, "Tell me why she was taken?"

"Well first cause of her looks. She's one hot broad but they wanted a piano player." He shrugged," I guess whoever ordered her wanted someone who could entertain in other ways then traditional if you get my drift." His eyes took a predatory look to them as he said the last sentence.

Struggling to keep his temper under control he said, "Let me get this straight. Catherine Evans was taken cause she can play the piano and Dr. Eppes was a target cause he's a mathematician not because he works for the FBI?"

The man looked at Don and said, "No as far as I know. Hendricks basically opened up the paper and saw that this Dr. Charles Eppes was a local mathematician so I guess that's how he chose him. Hendricks likes to say the paper is sometimes the best sales ad for him."

The man started laughing. Don, not being able to stand the sound, left the interrogation room. He turned to David and said, "We know the pattern for why these women were taken. I bet if we look through the papers over the last 6 months all three of them will be in it."
