So glad you're joining the Numb3rs love, and so, so glad that you liked the story! *bg*

Once upon a time this piece and the last went together in an outline that had an actual plot that had Charlie still needing to do government type work, even though Don was opposed. hee! Because you're absolutely right -- Charlie's involvement wouldn't be entirely up to Don. If I continue this, I will definitely take into account your suggestions. *g*

Thanks so much for commenting!
