Really amazing story. Though I was waiting for Charly’s reaction to what Leon said to Don at the end.

Other than that, I was totally captured by your story

Ok, for your comment about Laman's, the term is layman's terms, layman meaning an everyday worker, so layman's terms are just an explanation that anyone can understand. (Apologies for the nerd attack, and sorry if someone already said it. Love the story btw.)

It's so fucking out of character. If Charlie really is such a stubborn, stupid, cowardly and weak chicken, he deserves everything bad happens to him. And he is only making everything worse until it's too late!

Your portrait of Charlie is really unpleasant. He is just what the Leow accused him of. Such a wuss, coward and very selfish. Really can't stand such characters. If he is just going that way, he deserves trauma and misery.

Aww - I think I can now officially call this my favourite Numb3rs fic so far. The ending made my heart swell and everything was just gripping. I think you did a brill job with Leon, making him so unpredictable yet towards the ending somewhat understandable just made fir a very interesting and very chilling bad guy. Really got me there. This whole story was very well-written and the plot was unique and suspenseful, I loved it!

Wow, this is some seriously heavy stuff! I fell in love with your Merlin fics a while ago and searched your profile for more - and then I stumble upon this! Gosh, the angst is so gripping... I actually kind of panicked over here and looked completely desperate for all the world to see when Leon made his reappearance. And just now, when the shadow moved around, I honestly couldn't stop tears fron welling up in my eyes because of the terror this is causing our poor Charlie - and maybe a bit of my own terror got mixed up in there as well, ok...

The only that irks me (if only just a little bit) is that Charlie's behaviour is SO obviously that of someone who has been beaten, hurt and traumatized (which I love) yet nobody even REALLY considers that - and you'd think that Don has seen his fair share of mentally scarred victims like that who would behave just like Charlie, so I kind if felt like Don should have had at least an idea what would make a man act like that - but then again that's just me and I don't know shit. XD Live your characterizations, and your writing continues to amaze me, no matter what fandom. Now, onwards!

Thank you! plot piranhas! hahah .

Did not see that coming ! you crazy!

This was an excellent story, I loved reading it the whole way through. Though you often use the wrong word/term for things, it is usually similar enough for me to understand what you meant. As to the Bi-polar stuff, I was at first worried about your descriptions but later understood that even reading tons of stuff about it online can't compare it to knowing someone who has it like I do, so I can't judge you for that. All in all I think you researched everything very well. I really enjoyed this and you write the characters well. :)

Wonderful Story! And I loved how sensitive & caring Don was.

Definitely adding to my favorites.

Good story. Just found this one now. I didn't realize you had written a Numb3rs story (I knew about the SGA ones, of course, and that you had also written for CSI: NY). It would be great if you'd write another Numb3rs story sometime.

A very interesting read. Thanks, Beth

What an incredible story. It was so well written that I had to plow through the whole thing all in one shot. That doesn't happen very often. All the of the elements needed for an *excellent* read are including in your story.
