I sincerely hope they mean their apologies! An apology means I won't do it again as well as I'm sorry I was wrong.

Ezra shouldn't have had to defend himself though. That is the whole problem in a nutshell. had it have been any other member of the team, folks would have presumed there was a reasonable explanation. But not Ezra. Even if he had told AD Travis where he was the man would probably have just demanded proof as well as not apologized! Ezra is not hard to talk to or understand! You just have to be willing to be lees judgmental!

Great story! Keep writing! I do hope Chris kicks some serious a$$! Somebody needs to get these guys a reality check. Ezra would not end up in prison either. He would end up as Head of Security at a high class Casino in Vegas or Europe somewhere making big bucks! There people out there who appreciate his talents!

Wonderful! Ezra to the rescue! I am certainly tired of those team members who can get their heads on straight! You would think they would know why Ezra wasn't there! They pretty much guaranteed that by their own actions! They are reaping what they sowed!

I loved this story! Still do! I hate it when they start treating Ezra like second hand garbage! It didn't even occur to them there might be an explanation! They need their a$$et$ kicked good and proper!

love this story! just read it for the second time it is soooooo great!! keep writing! and keep injuring ezra in your stories! my fave!!

Excellent story. What a great writer you are! Please write some more.

I loved the Story!!!

Yay! ^_^ Very nice angsty fic, both emotionaly and physically, although the emotional angst ranked a bit higher IMO. But hey, you did good at it. *g* Again, the way you portrayed Ezra through his thoughts and the thoughts of others was done very nicely. Good descriptions, good introspection, nice dashes of humor tossed in, and good fic. ^_^

WHOA! I stayed up until 4:30 in the morning to read all of this story! It was great! I actually found it from the Ezra fanfic archive and was thinking I really ought to write to tell you how wonderful it was, but it was 4:30 afterall. ;) Then I just now saw it here and decided I'd take the cheater easy way out that doesn't involve getting into email and looking for your address and such. This was a very rivetting story. I couldn't stop, and believe me, I was getting punchy by the end there. :) It's funny how sometimes a story is just what you're in the mood to read while other times you might not have liked it so much. I say this coz I'm really not a fan of Mean Buck, and I especially don't like it directed toward Ezra since of the seven it seems to me that he and Buck spend the most time together (of all the people Ezra spends time with). But in this story it worked out pretty well and I really liked the way Buck was acting in the end and I figure since it was still early in the team's history it's okay that things were rocky at first. I guess there is some basis for it in the beginning, Buck wasn't exactly kind or helpful to Ezra in jail during ODOW. Anyway, I really enjoyed Chris and Vin, the way they acted, the things they did, you made them into quite the likeable pair. Not that they aren't always likeable, but you know everyone writes each of the characters different and I particularly liked yours. I liked Ezra too, surprise surprise he's my favorite, and I didn't even mind the vulnerablity which sometimes can grate on me. Not a big fan of the guys hitting each other because of work related things, but the death of Chris and Vin definitely warrented some reaction. Oh, and I really liked that the tooth was Chris'. I was sitting here reading, hoping they'd find out the tooth was someone else's and then have hope, but the angst worked out much better. :) Jarvis and the bad guys kind of died anticlimatically. Boy! This is kind of long for a review, looks like I should've gone with the email. ;) Keep on writing! I look forward to other stories soon.

Thankyou for getting the last part up...I was having withdrawls!!!! This was just a wonderful story--you are a wonderful writer. Hope to see more of your Mag 7 stories.

More, more, more! PLEASE!

This is a great story .... more please :-)

Oh my, but this is wonderful!! Must...read...more! I just stumbled across this site and yours was the first Mag 7 fiction I read (although I've read my way through the entire site in the past week -- ah, nice!) Thanks so much for the glorious introduction!! More! More! Gimme!!

Hm. Very nice work. ^_^ Nice descriptions, and the characterizations are very good. *g* I like how you show other people's observations of Ezra. Nice touch. *g*
