Disclaimer: I own nothing writen here

Charlie was worried. Don had been gone for over an hour, far longer than he said he would be gone and far longer than it should take. Dinner was already eaten with water, only one plate lay untouched and Alan Eppes was going to reheat the plate for a third time.

Charlie couldn't take it anymore, "I'm going to look for him." he didn't wait for a reply and he never got one. Charlie got up and ran out the room. he went out the door forgeting his jacket.

"I'm coming too," said David Sinclair following him out the door, putting his jacket on along the way.

They started their search.

They walked so they wouldn't miss any clue that would lead them to Don. As they walked David wondered what they would do if they didn't find Don or if they did.

"David... thanks for coming with me," said Charlie suddenly.

"No problem, I know how much he means to you." replied David.

"Yeah, I can't help but think Don's in trouble," said Charlie, his mind was somewhere else.

"Hey, don't worry everything's going to be..." David's voice trailed off when he saw it. A grocery bag with drinks inside and a rag lying in the middle of the sidewalk.

Charlie and David went to check it out.

"This could be anybody's," said David, picking up the grocery bag.

"This rag has a weird smell, many different chemicals," reported Charlie, poking the rag with a twig, not wanting to touch it.

David startedwalking to where Charlie was, when

CRUNCH

David lifted his foot and found he had stepped on something metal. He bent down to pick it up, tiny bits of glass sprinkled to the ground. David reconized it to be a watch, only to realize whos watch it was.

"Charlie!" David called, standing holding the watch.

Charlie looked up from what he was doing, he half jogged to where Daivd was. David handed him the broken watch and watched Charlie delicately clutch it close, turning a bright shade of pale.

David went on his cell phone calling his FBI contacts.

Charlie sunk to his knees, he was also sinking into his world of numbers and equations. Charlie was staring blankly into open space.

David got off the phone, he knelt next to Charlie putting his arm around him, comforting him, telling him that everything was goingto be alright.

Charlie didn't hear it, everything blocked out. Even when the loud sirens came, those too,seemed so far away. The flashing lights did not disturb him, when David's arm was replaced by Megan's, he did not notice. He didn't feel himself being pulledup onto his feet, he didn't feel himself hit the ground when he fainted.

David hauled Charlie to his feet only to go down again when the math professor passed out.

"Charlie!"

Megan, who was there helping David with Charlie, instinctively checked for a pulse.

"Pulse is rapid, but I ..." she was about to continue with 'I guess that's normal for someone who found out his brotherwas abducted' but Don was a friend, a coworker, she feels the same as Charlie, wont allow her to show it.

"I'll take Charlie back to his father, I guess I'll have to explain to him whyCharlie's unconcious," said David as he picked Charlie's limp body back up again. Megan relized that the Eppes house was around here, walking distance in fact, but logging a body away from a possiblecrime scene, fainted or no, looks a little suspicious.

"You can take my car, we'll both go." offered Megan holding up he keys. David agreed and Megan helped him carry Charlie to her parked car on the other side of the street.

The scene was blocked off with yellow tape, two police cars and a black SUV, CSI's officers in uniform, and a few FBI includingColby were there. Many bistanders had acumilated around thearea.

David gently laid Charlie in the back seat, then he got in the front seat passenger side as Megan got in the driver'sseat.

Charlie woke in the car and felta wave of nausea come over him.

"Stop the car!" he shouted, Megan slammed on the breaks and looked back in time to see Charlie open the car door, stumble to a bush on the side of the road, and empty the contents of his stomach.

"Well, at least he didn't do it in the car," said Megan.

Charlie slowly walked back to the car and gently got in, his body trembling.

"Are you all right Charlie?" asked the two agents in the front. the scene happened so fast they barely could react.

Charlie nodded, "Yes, I'm fine," wipping his mouth with his sleave.

After it was ascertained that Charlie was not going to vomit and was alright, Megan started the car again. When the car stopped again it was in the driveway of the Eppes family house. Getting out of the car, Charlie stood, as pale as ever.

"God, how am I going to tell him..." said Charlie, rubbing his face with his hands.

David looked at Charlie, Charlie looked like he was about to faint again, which he did.

"Charlie?" as David kept Charlie from hitting concrete.

Megan went around the car to them, she touched Charlie's skin which burned to the touch.

"He has a fever!" reported Megan as she helped David move Charlie up.

Alan Eppes had been waiting beside the window ever since he heard the car pull up and now since he saw his son in bad shape, he was hurrying out the door to meet the two agents carrying Charlie.

"What happened?" asked Alan.

"I can explain later, right now Charlie needs help," said David.
