Title: Goodbye is never definitely

Spoilers: There aren't any spoilers as far as I know, but if there are any, I will give a warning. I just started watching and I've seen the first three seasons so far and I can't wait to see more!

Warning: Character's death!

Summary: What appeared to be a simple case for Don ended up personal. Charlie gets in the line of fire and he doesn't make it out. Don is out for revenge, but over time, his mind is losing control and Don is seeing Charlie guiding him to find the responsible killer.
Will he be able to forgive himself? Will he be able to let Charlie go or will he lose himself in his race for revenge?

AN: So this is my first fic on Numb3rs and I hope the characters are IC. I'll try to update as soon as I can, but finals are coming up and I hate to say it but I have to study in stead of watching Numb3rs… : (

Please let me know all of your thoughts, guidance and comments. You know you just have to push that one 'review' button!

Anyways… Enjoy!

Chapter 1

'What are we waiting for?'

David's voice sounded calm even though the situation wasn't under control at all. A man had locked himself in his house and nobody had any idea if he was armed of carrying explosives. This man, Keith Richards, was a badass, as you could call it. He was working under a boss named Christian, and Keith was not planning on surrendering.

'Are the snipers in position?' Don asked.

David only nodded. Megan sneaked up to them, keeping low to try avoid detection, and then kneeled down next to Don.

'We're not getting a clear view on him,' she said, 'we're not even sure if he's alone.'

'Wait what? Christian is with him?' Don asked a little surprised.

'We don't know, we just detect two life-signs.'

'Okay,' Don said while nodding his head, 'we have to be carefull, we have no idea who might be in there.'

The radio suddenly started cracking before a voice called in.

'Team two is ready to go.'

'Okay,' Don said, aiming his weapon at the front door of the house, 'let's go in.'

Everybody moved at once, responding to Don't call. It was strange to see all the movement and yet not hear noise. There was some shuffeling, but even that was muffled.

The door however opened with a loud bang and only then, men started yelling.

'FBI!'

Don followed, and then Megan, David and Colby. Guns aimed at everything that moved, they made their way through the house.

'STOP!' a man cried out. Don immideatly realised that this was the voice of Keith and it was coming from the kitchen. He ran as fast as he could to get an understanding of the situation. But he had never expected to see this...
