So nice that Chris is watching over Ezra; making sure he is back to normal. Very nice way of getting Ezra and JD together; they did need to clear the air and have it just between themselves. Ezra is still feeling guilty that he didn't stop himself and JD has a great point that Ezra managed to fight the programming enough to only wound and not kill JD. Love JD's speech explaining how important Ezra and the others are to him and how Ezra accepts it. Very nice ending and this is a great first fic in Mag 7. Thank you for making sure this got posted.

Amazing chapter! The closeness and teamwork of the Seven is comes thru so clearly and love how Josiah made the move to stop Ezra from killing himself. A broken arm is a small price to pay. Love Chris' interrogation technique; very effective and what he has been wanting to do for a long time. Very simple trigger but one that would be hard to stumble upon. So nice that Ezra is back. Seeing what JD was thinking while the confrontation was going on just underlined how Watson's control was weakening the longer they had to think about it. Great that JD was worried about losing his family. Nice resolution but still some lingering doubts.

Wow, lots of excitment here! Watson thinks that he controls what goes on and is pulling all the strings but Chris adn Vin area aware that something is not right. Too easy is never a good sign. Love the Chris explosion; that poor table never had a chance. Ezra's dilemma and confusion comes thru so clearly; he has a mission but can't force himself to do it or to remove the obstructions in his way because he cares for them so much. You really showed how hard that was for him and how much their regard means to Ezra. Another great cliffhanger!

Very nice description of how Ezra is still under Watson's control. He just slipped right under and is following the previous programming. Wonderful how you show why Watson is doing this; he so enjoys what he can make others do and he gets off on his power trips. Love that Ezra is fighting Watson's control and how much Watson is having to do to make him do it. Watson is really playing on Ezra's guilt and fear of seperation. Things are not looking good; great spot for a cliffhanger.

Terrific display of JD's fear and confusion. He is trying to figure out what is going on but has had so much to deal with plus the drugs. Love Ezra's firm conviction that he should have prevented the situation; classic control mechanism. Since he lost control, he has to blame himself. Love the deduction that Vin came up with; that really explains a lot. Chris picking up what Vin was driving at really fits with their teamwork. Watson is in so much trouble!

that was great! I remember reading it years ago, but it was definitely worth another pass. thank you :)

That was great! I'm totally hooked on reading all of your M7 fics... now if I just got to see the acual show. I look forward to what ever you post next. There will be a few more, right? Just checking. :)

Great ending, love the way that Chris pushed him to talk to JD and clear everything after what they were through.

Thank you for posting the story.

Forgive me though for asking you again for sequel if there is one for the story "Playing the Game" cause you left the ending open, and you've got me curious.

Keep writing.

So, Ezra is rather killing himself instead shot at his friends, that you give him a respect from them, now all they need to find is the right word to stop the hypnotizing for both him and JD.

Ah, thanks! I was skimming through tons of Criminal Mind fics and coming up empty of anything worthy. One last check before turning in and there I see you posted me another chapter. Now I won't have nightmares... unlike your poor characters... of pathetic mush and pairings. GAG! Now I can ponder just what you might have up your sleeve next for poor Ezra and JD. Sigh... thanks again :D lol
