fabulous story so well written characters were just right

This was amazing! This story was so true to all the characters. If this had been an episode, it would have won an award for sure! Thank you so much!

This was simply wonderful! The plot was quite engaging and intriguing. The emotional interplay between Don and Charlie was exceptionally well done. I would have died to have seen an episode like this on the show. Who knows, if they ever reboot Numb3rs in the future, maybe the writers and producers will finally realize that the draw of this show was in its relationships - the ones between the Eppes family members, their colleagues, and their friends. It was not just another crime procedural with a gimmick.

Love the ending. I was wondering if it would be okay with you if I wrote some one-shots based on events that happened in this story?

Love the ending

I love this story. It is funny and I think it fits the team. It questions the justice system and makes people think, arguably the most important job of fiction writing.

... Wow... This just became a favorite episode. Maybe even a 2 part... Lol

That was amazing!

This story took my breath away. Well done! Please please please write another Numb3rs fic :x so amazing

To be honest I didn't expect much at first but now you catched me and I am already tearing up:O

I loved it! Great job :)

I love this story so much. I periodically come back and read it again and am sure I probably reviewed the first time but just in case...
I love the fact that your characters are so rounded. The bad guys have reasons for the things they do and the good guys are perfect. Don is just wonderfully written and his periods of self doubt are agonizing to watch. I felt like Alan as the reader; wanting to reach into the page and give him a hug. An I love Anderson. What a great character. I know this as written a long time ago but I wonder if you ever considered writing a short one shot that covered Don's first day back at work? I'd love to see some closure on this and how the field office responded to his return. He would be a living legend after his ordeal. Thanks again for a great piece of storytelling.

great story...very insightful and though provoking, especially for don.

big ol' grin on my face! :D

I don't know what to praise first. The plot? Your style of writing? How you managed to keep everyone in character? And, and, and? Everything just fits - this is a story I thoroughly enjoyed reading!

I keep asking myself how I missed this when you were originally posting. No matter, I found it now, and I'm sure glad I did. This was outstanding! I never once felt the story moved too slowly or was too rushed. Every detail was perfectly placed and contributed to the story. You managed, quite successfully, to show the characters as both driven to clear Don and vulnerable to the reality it might not happen. It would've been easy to write a very angry, dark Don but it was so much nicer to see him as contemplative and, at times, very vulnerable.

I will be coming back to this story again and again!
