Author's Notes: I am trying this see what happens Thanks to my beta reader
Charlotte-Gabrielle. And Terri, Fancy, and Wally Gator for answering my
question about Stockwell. I decided to do something with him. I won't kill
him off.. Let's see what happens. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~ 

Part One  

That night Face had managed to find a place to rest. .It wasn't much,
nothing like he was used to, but right now it was shelter. He had been
trying hard to bring Murdock's fever down .His friend was drenched in his
own sweat. Face had put a cold cloth on him but it didn't seem to help. He
cursed himself for taking Murdock out of the hospital. He sat on the bed
and wrung the cloth out again, placing it on Murdock's forehead. Murdock
tossed and turned. He slowly opened his eyes and stared at Face and a tear
ran down from his eye to his lips  

"Face, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry, they hurt you. I begged them to take
me. Please don't leave me Face. Please don't die. Face! Face! Please open
your eyes! Don't leave me! Hannibal! He's not breathing!"  

Face felt the tears running down his face .He knew that Murdock was having
a nightmare about the day he had died in the death camp. Face hadn't
remembered dying that day but one night after a big fight with Murdock the
whole thing came out. How he had died and Murdock had gone over the edge
or would have if Hannibal hadn't taken action. Face knew what he had to do
to help Murdock though this nightmare.	

All night long Face stayed with Murdock as the fever raged on. Face began
to even place ice in the cloth, hoping that would help. Murdock tossed and
turned. He screamed, the nightmare tearing him apart. Face held him all
through those nightmares. It was morning before the fever finally broke.
Face heard a moan, as he looked down he saw Murdock looking at him.  

"I had a dream Face."  

"I know."  

"Can I have a drink please. I'm so thirsty."  

Face nodded his head and went and got the water. He lifted Murdock's head
and helped him to drink. When Murdock had enough Face placed his head back
down on the pillow.  

"I'm sorry Murdock. I never should have taken you out of that hospital."  

"It's okay Face. I just need to rest."	

Face watched as Murdock closed his eyes again. Face stroked his hair.  

"You rest Murdock. I'll be here when you wake up. I promise."  

BA pulled the van up in front of the house. Jill came running out.  

"How's HM? "  

Hannibal shook his head. "We don't know, Face took him and ran. I don't
think he was crazy about the idea of leaving Murdock behind."  

"That's dumb, H.M was hurt, why would Face do such a thing?"  

"I don't know Mrs. Murdock but I'm going to find out." Hannibal replied as
he walked into the house. He turned back to her. "Don't worry we will find
them. But one thing you should know, if we do we are not coming back. I'm
sorry but we will let you know everything is all right when it is."  

She only nodded her head. BA watched Hannibal go in with Jill following
him; he was going to follow when suddenly the phone in the van rang. BA
picked up the phone.  

"Yeah what you want?"  

"BA this is me."  

'Faceman where are you?"  

"I'm not saying BA. Just tell the Colonel Murdock and I are fine."  

"Hey man, Hannibal is really worried about you two."  

"BA, I just can't bring Murdock back only to lose him because of
Stockwell's so called proof Murdock killed Morrison."  

"Face we don't know that for sure, even Murdock doesn't. He may have
killed Morrison. Morrison set us up."  

"He's sure he didn't do it BA, and I believed him. I feel so ashamed
signing that damn piece of paper. It was like saying he was guilty. We
were all ready to leave him behind."  

"I know man but we were protecting him."  

"Were we BA? I think we were protecting our precious pardons. "  

BA was quiet for a moment, he didn't know how to answer that.  

"BA, I got to go Murdock may need me. Tell Hannibal we are fine."  

"Face, please tell me where you are. We can help."  

"Sorry BA. I can't. It's not that I don't trust you or Hannibal, I don't
trust Stockwell."  

"Faceman you need us."	

"Bye BA."  

The phone went dead. BA went to check on the tracer but it didn't work.
Somehow, Face had jammed it.  

BA hurried into the house. He found Hannibal talking to Lyle.  

"Hannibal, Face just called."  

Hannibal jumped up. "When BA?"	

"He just hung up. He said they were fine."  

Hannibal smiled. 'Good, did you trace the call?"  

BA shook his head. "I couldn't."  

"Why not?" Hannibal asked in anger.  

"Face jammed it somehow."  

Hannibal sat down on the chair. He knew Face was clever and if he didn't
want to be found he wouldn't be.  

"BA we are going to look for them. I'd just like to know why Face took
Murdock and ran."  

BA looked at Hannibal, surprised. "You don't know?"  

"BA, is there something I should know?"  

"He left because we signed those papers to go back with Stockwell so he
wouldn't turn in the proof he had of Murdock killing Morrison. Face and me
signed them because you did and we always follow you. Only this time Face
thought you were wrong."  

Hannibal got up and began pacing the room. Lyle and BA watched.  

"Damn I need a cigar. I can't think."  

"Well I don't have any," snapped BA. "Face and the fool are gone because
of you."  

Hannibal swung around in anger. "Don't you dare blame this on me. I did
what I thought was right."  

"So does that mean you think Murdock killed Morrison?" BA asked.  

"No, BA, I don't think that. I need a way to prove Murdock didn't do, it
and the only way was to pretend that Stockwell had us. I didn't think Face
would run. I thought you two knew me better then that."  

"Oh man. Hannibal I'm so sorry. "  

"Yeah well what's done is done. Come on we've got to find them before
Stockwell does."  

Suddenly Abner came in. "I think you guys better see this. It's the news
and they are talking about you."  

Hannibal and BA went into the room. There they saw a general talking to a
newsman on the news  

Newsman: "This is Guy Madden live from the Pentagon. We are here with
General David Sherman. General what is this late breaking news about The
A-Team?"  

General Sherman: "All charges against The A-Team have been dropped."  

Newsman: "Dropped? You mean the bank robbing and the murder of Colonel
Morrison?"  

General Sherman: "Yes. It would see that Double Agent Captain Murdock was
the master behind this whole thing. He made Morrison give The A-Team the
orders and when Morrison wanted to come clean he killed him."  

Newsman: "So the A-team is free."  

General Sherman: "Yes. They are. Smith if you are listening to this, I
have given the orders for Captain Murdock to be shot on sight."  

Hannibal looked at BA. "Come on BA we've got to find them. Lyle you too." 


They both nodded their heads and followed.  

Face sat on the chair watching the news. Tears steaming down his face  

Part Two 

Face sat by the black and white TV staring at the screen. He hardly even
noticed that now Stockwell was being interviewed. 

"What's Stockwell doing on TV?" 

Face turned around to see Murdock coming into the room. He quickly turned
to set off and went to him. 

"Murdock? What are you doing out of bed?" 

"I feel fine Face. Now turn that back on I want to hear what's going on." 

"Murdock, It's nothing." 

Murdock reached up and wiped a tear from Face. "It's something or you
wouldn't be crying." 

Face turned away from his friend. 

"Face, please turn it back on." 

Face didn't move so, Murdock walked past him and turned it on himself and
sat down to watch and listen. To the reporter and Stockwell. 

Reporter: General. Is it true that Templeton Peck ran away with Captain
Murdock? 

Stockwell: No. We believe that Captain Murdock took LT Peck by force, and
we believe that LT Peck' s life is in danger." 

"THAT'S NOT TRUE! DAMN YOU STOCKWELL!" 

Murdock jumped from the chair and ran into the bedroom. He threw himself
into the corner of the room holding his ears and rocking back and forth.
Face came running in. He slowly came up to Murdock who was just sitting on
the floor. Face sat down beside Murdock. 

"Oh Murdock, I 'm sorry I yelled." 

Murdock looked at Face. "Face what's going on? Stockwell acted like I was
a mad man." 

Face looked at Murdock. "Do you really want to know." 

"Yes, Face please tell me." 

Face looked at Murdock and took a deep breath and began. 

BA Baracus picked up the TV and threw it against the wall smashing it to
pieces. Everyone stared at him. Hannibal walked over and placed a hand on
his friend. 

"Calm down BA. We are going to find them." 

BA looked down at his shoes. He spoke in a shaking voice, "Hannibal,
Stockwell is telling lies about Murdock." 

"I know BA. I know." 

Hannibal reached into his pocket and took out some money. "I'm sorry about
the set. This should cover it." 

He turned to BA and Lyle. "Let's go you two.' 

Lyle shook his head. "I'm not part of your team Mr. Smith. I don't think
you can make me come. Right now my family needs me." 

Hannibal walked up to him. "I want you to come." 

Lyle didn't back down. "I 'm not coming . I'm needed here." 

Hannibal placed his hand on Lyle. "You have to come. The army has been
given the order to shoot Murdock on sight and they are not going to ask if
you are Murdock." 

Lyle sighed. "Okay I'll come but don't expect me to obey your orders. I
stopped obeying a long time ago." 

Hannibal nodded his head. They soon were on the road. But they had no idea
where to look. Hannibal looked out the window. 

"Any ideas where Face might take Murdock?" 

"The beach? Face likes the beach." 

"I don't think they have beaches in Texas BA, Lyle what do you think?" 

"How should I know I don't know Face?" 

Three men sat in silence. Where did Face take Murdock? Hannibal spoke up. 

"Well we better find them before the army does." 

Murdock stared at Face when he was done. Then got up and walked back into
the living room.  

Face quickly followed him. Murdock was pacing back and forth shaking his
head. Face started towards him but Murdock backed away. 

"Face this is your chance to be free so why are you here with me? You
should leave just tell them you escaped from me." 

Face approached Murdock and pulled him to him. "There is no way I am
leaving you don't you ever say that again. Do you understand me?" 

Murdock looked up at Face with tears in his eyes. "Please Face, I don't
want you to die. They may kill you too. Please, for me, go." Face shook
his head and held Murdock closer running his fingers through his hair. "I
won't leave you .We will go far away where no one knows us and start a new
life. How's that sound?" 

Murdock mumbled something. 

"I didn't hear you." 

"I said where? Never -Never land?" 

"I don't know Murdock but somewhere. We will change our names and
everything. " 

"Change our names?" 

"I know it will be hard but there's no other way." 

Murdock looked at Face. "There is another way." 

"Murdock, I am not leaving you now that's final. If we both die then so be
it because if anything happened to you I'd be dead anyway." 

Murdock nodded his head. "Okay, Face, I'll do what you say. Where are we
going?" 

Face smiled at him. "Don't worry Murdock. Everything will be fine,
tomorrow I'll go into town and get everything we need and then we will
head to Switzerland." 

Murdock nodded his head. "Okay Face. Whatever you say. I'm going to bed.
Good night." 

"Good night Murdock see you in the morning." 

That night Murdock got up and quietly put on his shoes. He looked at Face
who was sleeping on the couch. He knew it was best that he left. 

"Good bye Face, he whispered as he slowly left the house. Murdock got into
the car and tried his best to started it but it would not start. 

"It won't go without this." Face stood there holding the distributor cap.
"Murdock where are you going, I thought we were to do this together." 

Murdock got out of the car and crumbed to the ground weeping. "Please let
me go Face. Please. They will kill you too." 

Face came over to Murdock and knelt down beside him and placed his arms
around him. Suddenly Murdock lurched toward Face. 

"Give me that distributor cap!" 

Face took his fist and knocked Murdock out. "Sorry Murdock there's no way
you are going to be on your own. Not as long as I am alive." 

With that Face picked him up and carried him back inside the cabin and
placed him on the bed.	

He made sure Murdock was comfortable and then climbed in bed with him and
placed his arms around him, kissing him on the forehead. "Murdock tomorrow
our new life begins." 

Part Three 

The next morning Murdock moaned. Face watched him as he slowly opened his
eyes. Murdock rubbed his chin where Face had struck him. 

"You sure pack a good one Face." 

"I'm sorry Murdock. I just couldn't have you leave.You would not survive
on your own right now. We need each other." 

Murdock nodded his head. "Okay, fine, Face, I'll stay with you. Do you
know of a way to get out of the country?" 

Face smiled at him and reached into a bag he had with him. "As a matter of
fact I do." 

He pulled out a Swiss miss outfit, blond pigtail wig and all. "Murdock,
meet Heidi." 

Murdock stared at it as Face gave it to him. It was his size. "Ah Face,
where did you get this." 

"In town. I got it last night while you were asleep." 

"You mean unconscious don't you?" 

"Yeah. Murdock we are using the husband and pregnant wife scam to get a
free trip to Switzerland. Do you remember what to do?" 

Murdock looked at the outfit and nodded his head .He went into the
bathroom soon returning disguised as a pregnant Swiss Miss. His braids
were down past his back and he looked so radiant. Face smiled as he took
his hands. 

"Murdock you make a great pregnant woman and I am so proud to be your
husband." 

Murdock smiled a little at Face. "I wish we didn't have to do this. I wish
we didn't have to leave." 

Face nodded his head. "I know Murdock but this is the only way. Without
Hannibal and BA we are on our own." 

"We wouldn't have to be. We could get them to help." 

"I will never trust Hannibal again. He signed those papers to leave you
behind." 

"As I recall so did you." 

Face was stung for a minute. Murdock's words hit hard. "Murdock I'm
sorry." 

"Face I forgave you. I wish you would forgive Hannibal. He may had a
reason why he did it." 

Face said nothing so Murdock changed the subject, "So how are you getting
pass the MPs, Face?" 

Face nodded his head; "I'll be right back." 

He went into the bathroom and soon came out with a full beard on his face.
Murdock stared for a moment. "What is that supposed to be?" 

"My disguise.You like it." 

"No! I wish Hannibal and BA were here." 

"Well, they are not here. We are on our own. Get used to it Murdock.
There's no team any more just you and me." 

Murdock turned away "Only because that's what you want." 

Face turned him back around. "It's the only way. Hannibal betrayed us." 

"You really believe that?" 

Face shook his head. "Please Murdock I don't want to fight, we got a plane
to catch." 

"Answer me Face, do you really believe Hannibal betrayed us?" 

"Yes. He signed those papers." 

Murdock threw off the wig. "You signed those papers too. I may as well say
you betrayed me. But I know you didn't and neither did Hannibal. So stop
acting like Hannibal's the enemy." 

Face held a trembling Murdock, he didn't like to see him this way. "I'm
sorry Murdock. I guess you are right. I will call Hannibal." 

"When?" 

"As soon as you are safe." 

"Do you promise?" 

"Yes I promise," replied Face with his fingers crossed behind his back. 

Face smiled. "Don't worry Murdock. It's going to be all right. You'll
see." 

"Whatever you say Face," replied Murdock as he put the wig back on. 

"Murdock got the accent down?" 

"Yeah I got it." 

"Good." 

Face and Murdock got into the car which Face fixed last night and drove to
the airport.  

Suddenly Face spotted trouble. 

"Damn how did they find us?" 

Murdock looked though the rearview mirror. He saw that the MPs were
following them 

"Face let's go it's the MPs." 

Face nodded his head but decided not to run .He wanted to see if the
disguise fooled the MPs.  

He pulled over to the side of the road. 

A soldier walked over to the car. He taped the window and Face rolled it
down. 

"What can I do for you sir? " 

The soldier pulled out a picture of Murdock and Face. He pointed to
Murdock first. 

"Have you seen this man? He's armed and dangerous & he has taken this man
hostage." 

Face took the picture and handed it to Murdock. 

"Heidi have you seen this man?" 

Murdock took the picture and studied it. 

"No I have not seen this man. I am sorry I cannot be of more help to you
sir." 

"Thanks .If you see him don't try to take him on your own. He's a very
dangerous man." 

Face smiled at the MP. "Thank you." 

The MP stared at Murdock. "When's it due?" 

Murdock looked down and patted himself. "Oh you mean my baby?" 

"Yes when is it due." 

"Two months. Little Algfernon is due in two months. Isn't that right
Algie?" 

Face patted Murdock's hand. "That's right, two months, and we are on our
way to the airport to go to Switzerland so Heidi can have our first child
in her hometown." 

The MP nodded his head. "Look folks I'm going to be a father soon too. I
don't want anything to happen to you so I will take you to the airport."  

He opened up the door. Face stared for a moment. "That's really not
necessary." 

"Sorry but with a man like Murdock loose it is. Here miss, let me help you
to the car." 

Murdock looked at Face and mouthed now what. Face mouthed back I don't
know. The MP helped Murdock up and into his car. He smiled at Face. "I bet
you are going to have twins." 

Face and Murdock smiled at him as he drove them to the airport. Soon they
arrived and the MP helped Murdock out of the car. 

"Now you take care of that baby and have a safe trip." 

"Thank you kind sir. My baby thanks you too." 

The MP soon left. Face signed with relief. "Okay Murdock let's do it." 

Murdock nodded his head and sat down on a chair putting his head into his
hands and began to cry. Face knelt down beside him. 

"There, there Heidi, please don't cry. Everything will be all right." 

"Oh Algernon we've been robbed, all our money was taken and we have no way
to get to Switzerland. I wanted our baby to be born in my home town." 

"I know darling I know." 

"I wanted my mother to be there to see her first grandchild and now
because of that man it won't happen." 

She cried harder as her husband comforted her. That's what it seemed to
look like to people who had gathered around. One woman made her way to
them. 

"Please let me buy you each a ticket." 

Face stood up. "We can't ask you to help us." 

"She needs to go home. I know what that is like. Please let me help." 

Face looked at Murdock, he smiled. "Heidi, this woman is going to buy our
tickets." 

Murdock looked up at the woman. "Thank you so much. This means so much to
us. To me and my baby and husband." 

They were soon on the plane but not yet safe because the MPs came on the
plane. A colonel Face and Murdock didn't know led them. 

"Sorry folks but we have to check all planes leaving this area. There may
be a dangerous man on board." Some of the people mumbled as the MPs
searched .One of the MP stopped in front of Face and Murdock. 

"I see you made it to the plane in time. I'm so glad." 

"Williams. What's going on over there?" 

"Nothing sir. Have a safe trip." 

He then moved away from the couple. Not seeing who they were looking for
they left the plane. Murdock and Face looked at each other, they were now
safe for the moment. The woman sat down beside them. She looked at them.
"I think you better stay with me when we get to Switzerland." 

Face smiled. "Thank you, but that's not necessarily." 

She smiled at him. 'I think it is Mr. Peck."   On the Run  

Part Four  

Murdock smiled at the woman, then at Face. "Looks like we been busted
Face."	

The woman smiled at Murdock. "Mr. Murdock why don't you go to the head and
change out of that disguise? My son David will show you the way."  

Murdock looked up to a man who was staring at him. "I think I can find it
myself, but thanks."  

"I think I better show you. This is a big plane you might get lost."  

"Well okay, be back Face." Face watched Murdock and David leave but
wondered why did David look so familiar. But he turned his attention back
to the woman. "Okay miss who are you?"	

"First of all it's Mrs. Not Miss and my name is Gloria Morrison. Mrs. Jack
Morrison."  

Face suddenly jumped up, he was concerned for Murdock. "Where's Murdock?
Where did your son take him?"  

"To the head to change just like I said. I don't believe Murdock killed
Jack. But I believed he knows who did."  

Murdock felt his head being banged against the wall again and David still
had him by the shirt. "I'm going to ask you one more time loser. Who
killed my father?"  

Murdock shook his head trying to clear it but it was still ringing and he
couldn't think straight "Your father? "  

"Colonel Morrison! Who killed him."  

Murdock looked confused, his head was ringing. "I don't know "	

"Mother said you do and you better tell me now!"  

"David, let him go. Now! "  

David released Murdock who fell to the floor. Face was at his side in no
time. "Murdock are you all right?" Murdock looked at Face. "I'm fine mommy
just fell down and went boom." Face slowly helped Murdock up.  

Gloria turned to her son. "David what's the meaning of this."  

David hung his head. "I sorry mother. I just lost it."	

"Leave and think about what you did. And apologize to Captain Murdock."  

"Yes mother. Sorry sir."  

Murdock's head was still spinning. "Hey no problem we should do it again
sometime."  

Face shook his head. "Murdock how many fingers do I have up."  

"Four?"  

Gloria shook her head. "He better rest. Sherry take Captain Murdock to
rest."	

"I don't think that's a good idea. Murdock sit right here."  

Murdock sat down and looked at Face. "I'm fine Face. Just a little dizzy."
 

Sherry sat down next to him. "Sorry about David."  

Murdock nodded his head .He watched as another man walked up to Gloria.
"Mother, the pilot said our ETA is one hour."  

"Thank you Michael." Murdock looked at her. "One hour, Switzerland's
farther then that."  

"Yes but our mountain resort is not," replied Sherry.  

"Mountain resort?"  

"Yes Mr. Peck. This is a private plane, these three people are my
children, my youngest son Gary is getting Colonel Smith and Mr. Baracus." 


The three men sat in the back booth of the cafe. "So now what? We still
haven't found your friends."  

"Man, you are getting on my nerves and one of those friends happens to be
your brother."	

"Hey I didn't ask to be here. "  

"That's enough! Both of you! ."  

Both BA and Lyle stared at Hannibal. "Sorry, Hannibal."  

"Fine BA, just let me think."  

Suddenly a man approached them. Hannibal got up and BA followed his move.
The man came right up to them. "Colonel Smith. I would like you and Sgt.
Baracus to come with me."  

He then noticed Lyle. "Captain Murdock what are you doing here?"  

Lyle smiled at him. "Hi."  

The young man looked confused. "I thought you were with my mother."  

Hannibal suddenly grabbed him. "Do you know where Murdock is? Is Face with
him?"  

The man looked confused, he knew Murdock and Face were with his family.
"Yes. At least I did."	

BA shook his head. "This ain't Murdock."  

"Hey if you are right and I am Murdock's brother then I am a Murdock."	

"Hey fool NO .2 you are not that Murdock."  

"Never mind BA. "  

Hannibal looked at the man. "How do we know you are telling the truth?"  

"Mother said you might want proof," he took out a little black book and
handed to Hannibal.  

Hannibal studied it for a moment. "This is Face's black book. So help me,
if they are hurt in anyway you will be sorry."	

"Sir my name is Gary Morrison, Jack Morrison's youngest son and my mother
is Gloria Morrison. You do remember her don't you Mr. Smith."  

Hannibal nodded his head. "Yes I remember her I met her once. Long before
she married Morrison. Then she's taken Murdock and Face prisoner?"  

"No, we want your help. Please come with me and she will explain."  

"You come with us .You tell BA where to go."  

Gary looked at them. "It's a long drive a plane would be quicker."  

"I ain't flying man."  

"Me neither I hate planes."  

"Hey maybe you aren't a fool after all."  

Hannibal sighed. "Gary write down the directions and BA and Lyle can join
us later but I am flying there."  

Gary nodded his head and soon they all went their separate ways. Hannibal
knew he was taking a chance but he felt, somehow, that Gary was telling
the truth.  

---  

Face shook his head. "Now look here Mrs. Morrison there is no A-Team. Not
anymore," he said sadly.  

Murdock smiled sadly at Face. "Please Face. I want to see them again."	

Face looked at Murdock. 'I don't know Murdock I just can't."  

"Please Face. We need them, Are you angry at Hannibal because you felt he
betrayed me or because he's not perfect?"  

Face was stung by Murdock words. "Murdock I know he's not perfect. He's
just a man. "  

"Face to you he was a superman. A superman that lost his strength."  

Face felt the tears coming. "Oh God, Murdock. Stockwell took Hannibal's
strength away. I was so angry at him."	

Murdock got up and held him. "You been angry at him for a long time?
Haven't you Face?"  

Face nodded his head.  

Murdock lifted his chin. "Then you need to come clean. Hannibal makes
mistakes."  

"I don't know if I can Murdock."  

"Why don't you try. He's standing over there."	

Part Five  

Face turned around and saw Hannibal standing there. He wanted to go over
to him but he just couldn't. He started to walk away but Murdock grabbed
him.  

"Face, I forgave you. Please forgive Hannibal."  

Face shook his head. "I can't Murdock. Because of Hannibal your life is in
danger."  

"Not Hannibal. Stockwell. Don't let Stockwell win Face. Talk to Hannibal."
 

Hannibal approached them slowly. "Please kid we need to talk."	

Murdock looked at the two men. "I'm going outside so you two can talk."  

"No. Murdock I want you to stay. I want to explain my reasons for signing
that paper."  

"I know you had your reasons Colonel. But right now you and Face need to
come to terms with this. I'll be right outside."  

Murdock turned and walked away leaving Face and Hannibal to their selves.
For a long time neither of them said anything. They just stood there like
strangers. Finally Smith broke the silence. "Why Face? Why did you run and
why did you take Murdock?"  

"I took him to protect him from Stockwell and you."  

Hannibal was stung by this news. "Me? I don't understand Face."  

Face shook his head. "I never questioned you before Hannibal."	

Hannibal gave him a look. "Oh really? What about the time when.... " 

"Not when it really mattered. Not when your decision affected one of us.
You were willing to sign that paper to leave Murdock behind .You didn't
even ask BA and me how we felt. I signed that damn paper because I was
following your orders."  

"I'm sorry Face. I thought you would know what I was up to."  

Face threw up his hands. "Oh now I'm supposed to be a mind reader."  

Hannibal shook his head. "That's not what I mean, Face, stop putting words
in my mouth."  

Face stared at him. "Oh so now I'm in the wrong?"  

"Damn kid I didn't say that."  

"Well. I don't think you said much at all. You betrayed us and I wouldn't
be surprised if you and Stockwell planned this from day one."  

Suddenly Face found himself on the floor with Hannibal standing over him.
"All right kid if you want a fight you got one."  

Face leaped up on his feet and body slammed into Hannibal. Both men
falling to the floor. Face's fist struck at Hannibal's face. Hannibal
grabbed his fist and caught it, sent his own fist into Face's middle
section.  

Gary Morrison tried to stop them but his mother stopped him. "Let them go
they need to do this."	

Murdock walked back in to see his best friend and commander fighting each
other. He just stood there and watched. Face was slowly getting up, his
nose was bleeding and his mouth was also bleeding.  

"Had enough, kid?" asked Hannibal.  

Face shook his head, staggered over to Hannibal and punched him in the
face again sending Hannibal to the floor. "No. I 'm not done." He picked
up Hannibal and punched him again. This time when Hannibal fell he didn't
get back up. Face looked down at his beaten commander. "Now I've had
enough." He looked back at Murdock and said. "Tell Hannibal I forgive him
when he wakes up," and then fell unconscious to the floor.  

Murdock walked over to Face and picked him up. "You can tell him yourself
Muchacho."  

He motioned for Gary to pick up Hannibal. "Come on they need to rest."	

Gary picked up Hannibal. "Follow me."  

Murdock nodded his head and followed Gary to the rooms. Mrs. Morrison and
her oldest son watched them leave.  

"Do you think Murdock really knows who killed Dad?" " 

Yes, David, I do and I pray we find out before Stockwell does. Because if
he does, Captain Murdock is a dead man."  

---  

The black van drove along the road. BA was keeping on eye out for trouble.
By the direction given to them by Gary, they were only about a couple
hours away. Lyle stared at BA. "Why do you hate me?"  

'Huh?"	

"I said why do you hate me?"  

"I don't hate you man."  

"You haven't said a kind word to me since we left .As a matter of fact you
haven't said anything to me."  

BA shook his head. "It's got nothing to do with you. I'm just worry about
my friends."  

"I'm sure they are all right. Maybe they are even talking."  

"Man you don't know Hannibal and Face. I respect both of them and would
trust them with my life. But those two are the most stubborn mules I ever
met in my life."  

Lyle smiled sadly at BA. "I wish I had friends like that. But I was raised
in the Center and I had no friends. "  

"Hey man when this is over you have us for friends. "  

Lyle smiled again at BA. "Can you handle two Murdocks?"  

BA grinned "Yeah, I think I can. Murdock's fool one and you are fool two."
 

"Well we will see, won't we," laughed Lyle. 

Part Six  

Murdock sat on the chair in the room watching his two friends. They both
had been checked to make sure neither one was hurt badly. Now he was
waiting for them to wake up.  

Hannibal slowly opened his eyes. "Oh my head. Did anyone get the license
of that truck?"  

"Hi, Hannibal, welcome back."  

Hannibal smiled at Murdock, then looked at Face who was coming around.
"Hey, Face, I guess I taught you well."  

Face moaned, as he looked at Hannibal. "Yeah I got to learn another way to
settle things."  

Murdock walked over to Face. "Now that you got that out of your system,are
you ready to hear Hannibal out?"  

Face nodded his head.  

  

--  

BA drove along the mountain road. He knew that they would soon be there.
He stole a glance at Lyle who had just fallen asleep. How could he look so
much like Murdock and yet so different. He noticed that Murdock controlled
his temper where Lyle didn't. He wondered what would become of Lyle once
this was over. He shook his head.  

He told Lyle he could handle two Murdocks but one was hard enough. How
could he handle two of them?  

BA suddenly saw an MP car following him. He gave the van more power waking
Lyle up.  

"Hey! What gives?"  

"Shut up sucker. The MP are right behind us."  

"Hey cool, give me a gun."  

"What?"  

"A gun, give me a gun."  

"No way I'm giving you a gun sucker. Just hold on."  

BA turned his van sharply around the bend sending it hurling though the
air. The van landed with a thump at the botton of the small hill. Lyle
grabbed the dashboard.	

"Are you nuts?" he asked. "We could have been killed "	

"Shut up sucker. At least we lost them."  

"Yeah and my lunch too."  

BA did a double take. "You better not have gotten sick in ma van sucker." 


Lyle smiled. "You know your vocabulary is so amazing."	

BA clutched the steering wheel. 'Stay calm BA, stay calm.' he thought to
himself.  

"As a matter of fact who taught you to talk anyway? Your Mother?"  

BA suddenly slammed the brakes. "Get out of ma van now!"  

Lyle stared at BA.  

"I said get out of my van. Now sucker. No one talks that way about my
mama."	

Lyle looked at BA, he now knew he had hit a breaking point in the man.
"Look I'm sorry."  

"Get out sucker."  

"Look I'm sorry. Please we are in the middle of nowhere and the MP could
mistake me for Murdock."  

"Well at least Murdock would be safe."	

"You don't mean that. I know you are not the type of person that would
wish harm on anyone."  

"Then you don't know me that well."  

"BA I want to get to know you, please I'm sorry. That crack about your
mother was wrong."  

"Yeah man it was since you don't even know her."  

"I know. Look I said I was sorry. What more do you want?"  

"I want you to be quiet for the rest of the ride. I don't want to hear a
word from you. I don't want to hear a peep."  

Lyle started to say something but BA covered his mouth. "Not a peep
sucker, not one little word or I will throw you from ma van .Do you
understand? If you do just nod your head."  

Lyle nodded his head and BA let go of him. He sat backin the van and said
nothing else as BA headed to where they were going.  

---  

The other members of the team walked into a large dining room. Gloria
Morrison and her children were all seated at the table waiting, Gloria
smiled at them. "Please gentlemen sit down and join us for dinner."  

Hannibal glared at the woman. "What do you want with us?"  

"Now. Mr. Smith is that any way to talk to me after I brought you and your
men back together."  

Hannibal stood his ground. "Gloria I knew you a long time ago and you will
stop at nothing to get what you want."	

Gloria walks up to Hannibal. "Yes John, you are right, but this time we
both want the same thing. Who killed my husband."  

Hannibal sat down at the table and Murdock followed him. Face just stood
there.	

Murdock looked up. "Face, please sit down."  

"I will Murdock. Hannibal I really need to know why you signed that
paper."  

Hannibal got up. "Would you please excuse us? Face, Murdock, please come
with me."  

His men followed Hannibal out in the hall. Hannibal turned and faced them.
"When Stockwell had me brought to him and told me of his plan, I told him
I could not answer for you guys.I told him it had to be your decision."  

Face nodded his head. "I know Hannibal but this just felt different. It
just seemed like you gave up on Murdock."  

Murdock smiled and grabbed Hannibal and hugged him. "Hannibal give up on
me? Never."  

"Face, can I finish?"  

Face nodded his head.  

"I knew that the only way to help Murdock was to go with Stockwell, work
on the inside."  

Face was quiet for a moment. "I blew it by running."  

Hannibal went on speaking. "I knew that when Murdock woke up, no matter
where Stockwell put us he would find us. " He smiled at Murdock. "He
always did."  

Murdock laughs "Yeah, when it came to you guys. I was a bloodhound."  

Face slowly got up. "Then the mess Murdock is in is my fault."	

Murdock stood up too. "No Face . It's my fault. I should have told you
guys the whole truth about that night."  

"Why don't you tell them now Captain Murdock."	

They all turned to see the Morrisons standing in the doorway of the dining
room.  

Murdock swallowed. "Yeah I guess after fifteen years I guess it's time."  
 On the Run  

Part Seven  

Murdock swallowed. "Yeah I guess after fifteen years I guess it is about
time."	

Face stepped towards Murdock and sat down beside him. ."Hey Murdock. You
know you can tell us anything. We're your friends Murdock. Nothing you can
say will upset us."  

Murdock got up and walked over to the window searching for the right words
to say. He took a deep breath. "Nothing made sense anymore. It didn't seem
real to me. The team was gone and when I confronted him Morrison denied
everything." 

Hannibal placed his hand on Murdock's shoulder. "What happened that night,
Murdock?"  

Murdock's head fell into his hands. He let out a heavy sigh then he began.
"I flew back to the base after dropping you guys off. I was angry because
Morrison would not let me stay to get you guys out just in case something
went wrong." Murdock took off his hat and began to fiddle with it. He
twisted it between his fingers. Face reached over and started to take it
away. But Murdock quickly placed it back on his head. "I walked into
Morrison's office and I demanded to see him. But his aide Philips would
not let me."  

Murdock stared at Hannibal. "You know I had a very quick temper back then.
I pushed Philips out of the way and marched right into Morrison's office.
We argued a good while but nothing worked. Morrison would not admit he
gave you guys the order to rob that bank. He said I was crazy."  

"So is that when you killed him?" David asked.	

Murdock searched into David's eyes. "No. I didn't kill him. At least I
don't think I did."  

"What do you mean Murdock? Hannibal asked.  

Murdock walked away from the window "I left Morrison's office and headed
for the officer club. I figured a few drinks would calm me down. There was
this Colonel sitting at the bar. He was talking to me about the bank job.
Telling me it was a trap and that Morrison set the A-team up to take the
fall. I drank more and got really drunk. That Colonel kept telling me that
if Morrison was dead everything would be okay."  

Murdock suddenly placed his head down wishing with all his might that the
memory of that night was still missing but it was coming back full force.
"He handed me a gun and told me to end the suffering now. Put an end to
Morrison's evil plans. I took the gun and staggered over to his office. I
wanted to end the suffering. I wanted everything to be all right again."  

Murdock stopped and slowly got up. " I'm tired. Billy and I want to go lay
down."	

Michael Morrison reached for Murdock and shook him. "Tell us what
happened."  

Both Face and Gary pulled Michael off while Murdock only shook his head
and walked away not looking back.  

Gloria turned towards Hannibal. "Smith I believe that Colonel was
Stockwell."  

Smith didn't look at all surprised by this news. "I think I already
figured that out."  

"Okay. So that Colonel could be Stockwell. Still doesn't prove Murdock
didn't kill my father," said David.  

BA and Lyle walked into the room. BA marched right up to David and grabbed
him by his collar. "You listen to me sucker. There is no way Murdock
killed your father. That man don't have a mean bone in his body."  

"Maybe not now. But what about then?" Gary asked.  

Hannibal sighed. Back then Murdock had a temper that got him in trouble a
lot. He remembered one day when both Murdock and BA had been placed in the
brig for fighting with the Marines. Hannibal had been so mad and he yelled
at BA thinking he had caused the trouble only to find out Murdock started
it. "Yes. He had a temper back then."  

"Then he could have killed my father?" David asked.  

"No. There's no way. Hannibal, if Murdock was drunk like he said he was he
could not have killed Morrison." Face replied.	

"Why?" Michael asked.  

"Because the fool could hardly walk when he was drunk. There is no way he
could get to Morrison's office from the officer's club if he was drunk."  

"Not unless he had help," said Gary.  

"I didn't have help. I managed to get there myself."  

They all turn to see Murdock entering the room.  

Face walked up to him. "Hey Murdock, you okay?"  

Murdock glared at Face. "Why are you talking about me behind my back?"
Murdock asked with venom in his voice.	

"Murdock we were not talking about you behind your back." Protested Face. 


"Don't lie to me Face. I heard you."  

Hannibal knew he had to say something to get Murdock back on track.
"Captain how did you get to Morrison''s office?"  

Murdock shook his head. "I staggered over I guess. " He stops and ran his
fingers through his hair. "I just wanted him to tell me why. I didn't mean
to hurt him."  

Lyle was quiet for a long time. "I don't believe you killed Morrison."	

BA suddenly turned around and growled at Lyle. "Murdock didn't kill
nobody."  

Lyle put his hand up. "Hey I'm on your side."  

Hannibal placed his hand on BA. "Calm down BA everything will be fine."
The big man nodded his head. Hannibal turned back to Murdock. "Are you
ready to tell us the rest Murdock?"  

Murdock was about to answer when the MP came crashing in. They were
pointing their weapons at Murdock . The A-team immediately jumped in front
of Murdock.  

General Sherman stared at Hannibal. "Colonel Smith order your men to stand
down. I have my orders to shoot this man on sight."  

Hannibal shook his head." Sorry General. They don't listen to me."  

"Move aside, Smith. Now!"  

Gloria Morrison glared at General Sherman. "General there will be no blood
shed in my house. If you insist on killing Mr. Murdock please do it
outside and make sure you have the right man. I don't think it would look
good on your record if you killed the wrong man. Do you?"  

"You know I agree with her .It would really look bad."	

General Sherman turned around at the sound of the voice. Standing by the
doorway was a man dressed just like Murdock. He shook his head. "Don't try
to fool me son. I know all about Lyle Pickett. I know one of you is him." 


Hannibal stole over to the general and placed his arm over his shoulder."
Do you know which one?"  

General Sherman and his men stared at Murdock and Lyle, there was no way
to tell them apart. They both were dressed alike from the jacket down to
the sneakers. "We will have to take them both in," he replied.	

"General. My men and I are going with you." " 

You have that right Smith."  

Suddenly they hear the sound of weapons being cocked. "Gentlemen no one is
going anywhere till I find out who killed my husband."	

Part 8 

Mrs. Morrison and her children had them surrounded.  

Murdock stared at her. "I told you what I knew."  

"I never said you didn't." She turned to her son Gary. "Gary you and
Michael please put the General and his party in the guest room."  

General Sherman protested. "Now see here I have orders to bring Captain
Murdock in."  

"This is my house and you have no rights here General."  

Gary and Michael led the general and his men down into the basement.
Gloria now turned to the A-team. "Now what to do with you three? We can't
take you with us. But if you stay here you will follow us. I see no other
choice but to kill you. I am sorry."  

"I killed your husband! Please don't harm my friends."	

"Shut-up fool stop talking nonsense."  

Mrs. Morrison said nothing to Murdock but turned to her son David, "Kill
them and make it quick then join us in the plane." She then turned to her
daughter and nodded her head. Sherry understood and jabbed Murdock with a
needle. Murdock fell to the ground. BA stepped toward him but David
pointing a gun at Murdock 's head made him stop. Michael and Gary soon
came back.  

"Michael take Murdock to the plane."  

Michael picked Murdock up and threw him over his shoulder then left. Mrs.
Morrison turned to Lyle. "Are you coming or not?"  

Lyle turned to Hannibal and he nodded his head.  

"Good then you can go with Gary." said Gloria as she walked away.  

Gary nodded his head for Lyle to follow. Lyle took one last look at the
team then he followed Gary.  

David smiled as he put a silencer on his gun. "This will be quick guys."  

He was about to shoot when he suddenly crumpled to the ground. The team
looked up to see Lyle. He smiled at them and began to untie BA. "We better
hurry, once that plane takes off there's no telling where they might go." 


The A-Team ran outside and Face spotted an old truck. "BA can you get this
started?"  

"Stop asking such a dumb question and get in." BA soon had the truck going
and they headed for the airfield. When they got there the plane was going
down the runway.  

"BA stop that plane," ordered Hannibal. BA drove the truck towards the
runway and parked right in its path. The plane came closer but it didn't
have enough room for take off. It suddenly came to a stop. The plane door
opened up and Gloria stood at the door. "Are you mad? You could have
gotten everyone killed."  

Hannibal walked over to her. "I believe you have my pilot."  

Gloria stared at him. "He's asleep. Why disturb him? Look John. Why don't
you come aboard then we can talk."  

Hannibal shook his head. "I don't think so lady. I want Murdock and I want
him now."  

Gloria signalled to her son Michael and he brought Murdock out. "See he's
safe."	

"Give him to me."  

Michael looked at her and she nodded her head .He walked down and gave
Murdock to Hannibal.  

"Mr. Smith I need Murdock to prove that Stockwell had something to do with
my husband's death. I know deep down inside Murdock knows the truth."  

"I want to know who killed your husband just as much as you do. But I
don't see how Murdock can help."  

"Then why don't you come with us? I think together we can find out the
truth."  

Hannibal looked at his men. "What do you think guys?"  

"Hannibal she ordered her son to kill us." replied Face.  

"I know but if we can work together."  

Suddenly there was shooting, General Sherman and his men were there and he
ordered one of his men to take Murdock. The soldier took Murdock and
placed him on the ground. "Wake him up."  

The soldier bent down to wake Murdock up when Murdock's fist made
connection. He jumped up but then saw the guns surrounding him. Murdock
raised his hand. "Hey don't shoot just a reaction." He smiled at the
general.  

General Sherman ordered one of his men to handcuff Murdock. Another
soldier grabbed Murdock and roughly handcuffed him, then placed him in
their car. General Sherman turned to Hannibal. "I have been given new
orders, Murdock will have a trial. I hope you get him a good lawyer. If
you are coming with us get in but only you, your men can follow."  

Hannibal turned to Face and BA. "You guys follow us."  

They nodded their heads. The Morrisons were being arrested by the local
police. Gloria turned and looked at Hannibal. "I could have given you the
real killer."  

Hannibal gave no reply as he got in the car next to Murdock. "Colonel I
hope you have a plan."	

"Sorry Murdock not yet but don't worry you will be given a trial."  

"Wow that makes me feel a whole lot better."  

Hannibal looked at him. "I know Murdock but don't worry we will get you a
good lawyer."  

Murdock only nodded. He wasn't too sure about this.  

----------  

BA followed in the van. Face sat there and for a while neither one spoke.
Then Face broke the silence. "Damn if we could had just made it out of the
country."  

BA shook his head. "No man this was the right thing to do. Running was
stupid man, that was like saying he was guilty .At least this way he gets
a fair trial."	

"Yeah I guess you are right."  

They remained quiet till they arrived at the military prison. Face and BA
entered the main building where Hannibal was waiting.  

"Is Murdock okay?" Face asked.	

"He is fine Face, they took him to maximum security. I have been trying to
get a hold of our lawyer but he seems to be out of town. Where's Lyle?"  

"We dropped him off at the hotel."  

"Why? He might run?"  

"So? It's not like he's an important part of this. We need to get Murdock
a good lawyer."  

"Gentlemen I will be representing Captain Murdock." They turned around and
saw a man in his early thirties. "My name is Jared Barker. I 'm a friend
of Lyle's." 

On the Run  

Part Nine  

The A-team stared at the young man before them. Face walked right up to
him. "Have you done this before."  

"I will admit this is my first case."  

"Your first case? Oh man how is that going to help the crazy fool?"  

"I will assure you Mr. Baracus, Murdock is in good hands. Now if you will
excuse me gentlemen. I must go and speak to my client."  

Murdock sat in the cold cell his head in his hands. He was trying so hard
to remember more details about what happened that day. He remembered going
to the officer's club talking to someone a colonel or was it a general.
Damn he wished he could remember. He looked up when he heard his cell door
open. In walked a man caring a briefcase.  

"Mr. Murdock. My name is Jared Barker and I am here to represent you."	

Murdock just looked at the outstretched hand and said nothing.	

"Ok now Mr. Murdock I need you to talk to me," still no answers. Jared
shook his head. "I cannot help you unless you talk to me."  

Murdock laid down on the cot and turned away from Jared. Jared didn't know
what to do, in all his training at the centre nothing prepared him for
this. He sat there looking at Murdock who seemed so far away. He sighed
and took out his new toy he had just discovered, a yo-yo. Murdock heard
the sound of the yo-yo falling fast to the ground. The young man did not
know how to do it.  

"Flex your wrist." Murdock whispered, back still turned.  

"Huh?"	

Murdock turned around and faced Jared. "I said flex your wrist. It gives
the yo-yo more movement." He held out his hand. "May I?"  

Jared took the yo-yo off his finger and gave it to Murdock. Murdock put it
on his fingers and did a brunch of tricks. Jared was amazed. "That's
amazing, can you teach me?"  

"You never learned to use a yo-yo?"  

"Well where I was raised we didn't have toys."	

"Oh I see. Well I am sorry. What do you want to know?"	

"Anything you can remember about Morrison's death."  

Murdock told Jared what he told the others earlier. He nodded his head.  

"Is that all?"	

Murdock shook his head. "No there is more. I was in the building when it
was attacked . I remembering Morrison trying to get out like he knew. Then
the building exploded. I was trapped in there till someone found me. I
could smell burning flesh. It is a smell you never forget. I am not sure
who killed Morrison but whoever it was must have died .I was told I was
the only survivor."  

Jared nodded his head. "Murdock you still could be a suspect it's not much
to go on."  

"You believe I am innocent?"  

"Yes I do. But I need Stockwell."  

"Why?"	

"Because he knows the truth.'  

Murdock shook his head. "If Stockwell's my only hope then I may as well
give up now. There is no way he will tell you anything."  

Jared smiled. "Who said I was going to ask him? Now can you show me a few
more tricks?"  

That night the Team and Jared were sitting in the living room of the
penthouse Face had scammed.  

"So let's get down to business. What chance does Murdock have?"  

"Well Mr. Smith. I really think it a bad idea to have Murdock testify. I
really don't believe he is stable enough."  

Face looked at Jared. "Do you even know what you are doing?"  

Lyle stood up and protested. "Now wait a minute Face. Jared is the best I
know, if anyone can help Murdock Jared can."  

"I am just not sure. What do you think Hannibal?"  

"I believed Mr. Barker could be right. Murdock taking the stand may not be
a good idea."  

"So what do we do man? How do we help the fool?"  

Jared turned towards BA. "We help Murdock by finding out what Stockwell
knows."  

Hannibal smiled, a plan was beginning in his head and it was growing.
"Guys I think we need to go back and have a talk with Stockwell."  

Face and BA both nodded their heads. They knew it was the only way to find
out what Stockwell knew about that day.  

Stockwell sat at his desk. He sat wondering if Murdock would ever
remember. Stockwell told himself he had done the right thing. Morrison was
a traitor and deserved to die. He remembered he had convinced a drunken
Murdock to do just that, kill Morrison. But when Murdock was found under
the debris of the building with the gun by his side the gun had not been
fired. Stockwell knew who had killed Morrison But he just was not sure he
wanted anyone else to know .It was better to let them think Murdock did.  

Carla walked into his office. "Sir Danny is here to see you."  

Stockwell nodded his head He stood up and Danny walked in the man, who at
the age of nineteen killed Morrison.  

Stockwell stared at him and shook his head. "Why are you here?"  

Danny smiled at took one of the cigars out of the box. "Don't worry dad no
one saw me except Carla."  

"You shouldn't be here. I cannot be seen with you."  

"Why not? "  

"Because you fool you killed Morrison."  

Danny turned away and ran his fist into the wall leaving a hole. "Do you
see what I did to that wall dad? If you don't stop saying I killed
Morrison I am going to run your head though that wall. I didn't kill
Morrison. Captain Murdock did. I saw him do it just before the attack."  

Stockwell looked at his son. "Do you have proof because the gun I gave
Murdock was never fired."  

Danny was quiet. "Dad he had to die. I did it for you."  

"I know son. I will protect you. Murdock will be found guilty of the
murder of Morrison only this time I won't help him. There is no way you
are going to prison."	On the Run  

Part Ten  

Murdock stared at the faces of his friends, as he was being lead into the
courtroom BA smiled at him. Murdock half heartedly smiled back. He
wondered what was going to happen to him. Murdock also noticed that Face
and his brother were not there. He thought they were probably doing
something for Hannibal.  

Jared leaned over to talk to him. "Murdock I don't want you to be scared.
I want you to trust me."  

Murdock only nodded his head. He watches as the military hearing got
started. The first person the JAG Major Steven Reynolds called was Lt..
Gary Youngmen.	

Major Reynolds approached Lt.. Youngmen. "Lt, will you please tell in your
own words about Captain Murdock's temper."  

Lt. Youngmen took a deep breath before he spoke.  

"I was assigned to the A-Team for two weeks in 1970.Captain Murdock had
been grounded for disobeying orders. Anyway this aggravated him because he
hated to be grounded. That day, Sgt.. Baracus was tuning up a jeep. The
engine was noisy I guess and getting on Captain Murdock'snerves. Any way
the man went totally bonkers."	

"I object, and ask the court to tell Lt.. Youngmen can keep his colorful
remarks to his self," interjected Jared.  

General Mark Davis nodded his head. "Sustained. That last remark will be
stricken from the record."  

He then turned to Lt. Youngmen. "Please no more remarks like that."  

LT. Youngmen nodded his head then he went on. "Captain Murdock attacked
Sgt.. BA Baracus. I could not believe it. Here was Captain Murdock; he was
a lot skinnier then, attacking Sgt.. Baracus. He was on top of him raining
blow after blow to his face. It took me and two other men to pull him
off."  

"I see Lt." He turns to Jared. "Your witness."	

Jared looked at Murdock and whispered. "Did you really do that?"  

Murdock did not answered just hung his head. Jared stood up and walked
over to the stand.  

"Lt. Youngmen? Did at any time Captain Murdock ask Sgt. Baracus to stop
making that noise?"  

Lt. Youngmen thought for a moment. "He might had, I don't remember."  

"Yet you remembered Captain Murdock attacking Sgt.. Baracus."  

"Hey look that's something you don't forget. Sgt.. Baracus outweighed
Captain Murdock so it was something I'll never forget."  

Jared nodded his head, "Thank you. No further questions.  

Lt. Youngmen stepped down from the stand as Major Reynolds called his next
witness.  

"I wish to called to the stand Sgt.. Baracus and I wish to let the court
know he is called as a hostile witness."  

BA Baracus took the stand and sat down. He eyed Reynolds.  

"Sgt.. Baracus may I called you BA?"  

"NO! Only mah friends can called me that and we ain't friends."  

"Very well Sgt and please remember you are under oath."  

BA nodded his head. "Yeah, I remember that day."  

"Did it happen the way LT. Youngmen said it did?"  

BA Baracus looked at him. He only nodded his head.  

"Sgt.. Baracus please speak up." Said General Davis.  

"Yes it happened just as Lt. Youngmen said. Murdock attacked me but there
was more to it then that."  

"Thank you. No more questions Sergeant."  

BA got angry. "I ain't done talking and you are going to hear me!"  

Davis looked over at BA. "Sergeant, please take your seat."  

Jared stood up. "Sir I have the right to question this witness and I wish
to do so at this time."  

"Very well proceed."  

Jared turned to BA. "Please go on."  

BA nodded his head. "Yeah the f... I mean Captain Murdock attacked me but
I made him mad. I didn't stop doing what I was doing and it made him mad."
 

"Then you did it on purpose?"  

"Yes I did."  

"Could you have worked on the jeep somewhere else?"  

"I object, your honor. We are not here to find out if Sgt.. Baracus could
have worked somewhere else."  

Jared looked at Reynolds then General Davis. "May we approach the bench? "
 

General Davis nodded his head. Major Reynolds spoke first. "Your honor, I
don't see how Lt. Barker 's line of questions are relevant to this case." 


Jared looked at the General. "Sir if you give me a little leeway, I will
show relevancy . 

The General looked at Jared. "I have to agree with Major Reynolds.
Overruled, ask another question Lt.."  

Jared looked over at BA. "I have no further questions."  

General Davis nodded. "You may return to your seat."  

BA got up and walked back over to Hannibal. Hannibal turned to BA and
whispered.,"I hope Face and Lyle find something at Stockwell's, this does
not look good for Murdock."  

Ba nodded his head.  

*************  

Meanwhile, on the other side of town.  

"So how long have you had feelings for Murdock?"  

Face looked over at Lyle. They were at Stockwell 's home trying to find
anything to proof Murdock was innocent.  

"Is it that easy to see?" He asked.  

"Yeah it is." He replied.  

"It been two years now, but it's only a strong bond " Face replied.  

"I see. " Lyle replied. "Well we better keep looking just in case it goes
badly for Murdock."  

"Yeah let's keep looking," replied Face.  

*********** 

Meanwhile back at the hearing. Majors Reynolds had called to the stand a
civilian Frankie Santana 

"Mr. Santana have you ever seen Captain Murdock loose his temper?"  

Frankie looked over at Hannibal .  

"Mr. Santana you are under oath please answer the question. Did Captain.
Murdock ever lose his temper in front of you?"	

Frankie glanced at Murdock. "Yes but..."  

"Yes or no Mr. Santana. Thank you." Major Reynolds turned to Jared. "Your
witness."  

Jared nodded his head. "Mr. Santana why did Mr. Murdock lose his temper." 


"Hannibal had been kidnapped in Hong Kong. I said he was dead. Murdock got
mad but he calmed down just as fast."  

"I see so do you think he could have killed Morrison while angry?"  

Frankie looked at Jared. "I cannot answered that because I didn't know
Murdock then."	

"Thank you Mr. Santana you may step down now."	

Jared looked at the judge. "Sir may I request a recess?"  

General Davis looked at Major Reynolds.  

"I have no objections."  

"Very well we will take a twenty minute recess."  

Hannibal walked over to Jared just after Murdock had been taken back.
"This does not look good. "  

Jared nodded. "I know Reynolds is trying to prove that Murdock had no
control over his temper and killed Morrison."  

"I know Murdock did not kill Morrison."  

Jared nodded. "Mr. Smith, please don't miss understand this. You had a
chance to be clear of the charges during your trial a year ago yet you
stood up and said you were guilty. Why?  

Hannibal ran his fingers threw his hair. "They were going to blame
Murdock. He has been thorough so much. He did not need that."  

Reynolds walked over to them. "I am willing to make a deal Barker."  

Hannibal stared deadly daggers at him. "Murdock is innocent and my men
along with Jared will prove it."  

Reynolds shook his head. "Smith you are a piece of work you know that. You
must have thought Murdock was guilty or you never would have confess that
day in court."	

Hannibal looked at Reynolds then turned to leave when suddenly he made a
sharp turn and sent Reynolds to the floor.  

*********  

Face rummaged through the desk. "There has got to be something here.
Something we can used to help Murdock."  

Lyle nodded his head. "You know I don't know Murdock all that well we
could be brothers then again. But I do know he is not a killer. He does
not have the killer blood in him. I know."  

Face suddenly heard something and pushes Lyle down. He placed his finger
to his lips to indicate to be quiet. The two men watched as a man entered
the room. The man slowly opens a secret panel under the desk and removes a
folder. He carefully took out a lighter. Face knew he had to move fast
this could be important. He motions for Lyle to follow his lead. Lyle
nodded his head as Face slowly went around to get to the man. When Lyle
saw he was in position. He stood up and yelled.  

"HEY DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS?"  

The man was so startled that Face was able to over power and knock him
out. Lyle came running over.  

"So what is in the folder?  

Face slowly opened the folder. "Let's find out. Shall we?"  

Part Eleven  

Face carefully opened the folder and as he skimmed through it he gave a
low whistle.  

The whistle was the kind of whistle someone made when they found something
interesting and it made Lyle look over at him..  

"What? Did you find something?"  

Face nodded. "Yeah I did, take a look at this."  

Face took out a photo and handed it to Lyle. It was a photo of an old man
who was sitting outside of a cabin with lots and lots of snow. Lyle only
stared at it, to him it meant nothing.	

"So? What's so interesting about this photo?"  

Face didn't answer him, he just muttered to himself. "It can't be. I don't
believe this." Face began searching thought the rest of the photos.  

"You can't believe what? What is it? Do you know that man?"  

Face nodded. "Yeah I know him. He's the man who sent us on the Hanoi bank
job. He's Colonel Morrison."  

Lyle stared at the photo. "You mean the guy Murdock is on trial for
killing?"  

"Yeah that's who I mean," replied Face.  

"Then that means Murdock is innocent. "  

"Yeah if we can prove that Morrison's stillalive."  

"So how are you going to prove that?"  

Face didn't answer at first, just looked though the folder more till he
found what he was looking for.	

"This tells me where Morrison has been for the last 15 years. He's been in
Canada."  

Lyle looked at Face. "I know that I'm not really a member of this team but
don't you think this might be a trap? I mean think about it.Why was this
so easy to find?"  

Face looked right back at him "I know it maybe a trap but it maybe
Murdock's only chance. We got to take that chance."  

"What good does that do Murdock if it is a trap and you guys get caught?
Face, think about this."  

Face turned away. He knew deep down inside that Lyle had a point. "I will
talk it over with Hannibal and whatever he decides we should do, then
that's what we will do."  

Lyle nodded knowing Face was not going to listen to him. Face headed out
the door and into his car. Lyle jumped in beside him and Face headed back
to the base.  

****  

Someone grabbed Hannibal as Reynolds got up off the floor. "You will pay
for that Smith. I promise you Murdock is going down." Hannibal shook the
person off of him. "Murdock did not kill Morrison. I know my men."  

"Knock it off Hannibal," replied BA. "This isn't helping Murdock any."	

Hannibal looked at BA then back at Reynolds. "Yeah you're right BA. Let's
go get some coffee."  

As the two men walk out Hannibal turn to BA. "BA, I hope Face found
something if not we will take action I am not the type to just sit and
wait."	

"Yeah I know," replied BA.  

After Hannibal and BA left Reynolds shook his head and walk away getting
ready for the recess to be over.  

*****  

Face pulled his car in front of the base's court house. He jumped out and
ran inside to find Hannibal. Lyle followed him inside. Face found Hannibal
and BA drinking coffee in the cafeteria of the building.. Face rushed over
to him.  

"Hannibal! Hannibal! You got to take a look at this."  

"Calm down kid and let me see what you got."  

Face sat down and took out the photos. "Take a look at these Hannibal."  

Hannibal and BA looked at the pictures. BA growled as he stared at them.
Then he pounded his fist on the table.	

"Its Morrison! He's alive!"  

"Face this is great, it proves Murdock didn't kill him." replied Hannibal.
 

"To me all it proves that it maybe a trap," replied Lyle.  

BA sneered at him. "Look sucka we are going to go and find out."  

Lyle shook his head. "Come on use your head. What if it is a trap?"  

"We'll take that chance for Murdock." replied Face in anger. "Murdock
would do it for us. There is no way we are not checking this out. If you
don't want to come then stay here but don't try to stop us."  

Lyle shook his head again. "I just think you need to see past your own
feelings."  

Hannibal place his hand on Lyle back. "We understand what you are saying
but we have to take that chance."  

Lyle suddenly knew that this was a hopeless. They were going no matter
what he said so he gave in. "Face said it's somewhere in Canada."  

Hannibal turned to Face. "Do you know where in Canada kid?"  

"Well according to Stockwell's notes. Morrison is somewhere in Ontario."  

Hannibal took the notes and read them carefully. "It does seem funny that
you got this so easy Face. Lyle could be right but we have to check it
out. I'll go talk to Jared now and see if he can get us more time so we
can check this out."  

Hannibal found Jared and told him everything. Jared listened to what
Hannibal told him. "You want me to get you more time while you go and find
Morrison?"  

"Yeah that about it. Can you do it?"  

"Colonal Smith if I tell the court why I want more time they will never
belive me."  

"Just tell them you may have found another witness and request more time.
We need more time."  

"All right I will try."  

"Thanks. Come on guys we got a plane to catch."  

Jared watch them leave he then noticed Lyle remain behind. "So why didn't
you go with them?  

"My service maybe requited here." Lyle replied.  

Soon the court was back in sections and Jarod stood up. "Your honor may we
approach the bench?"  

General Davis look at Major Reynolds who only stared at him. "Is it
importiant LT?"  

"Yes sir it is."  

"Very well approach."  

The two men walk up to the bench. General Davis stared at LT Barker."Lt
this better be important."  

"It is sir. I am asking for more time, new information has surface which
may prove my client's innocence."  

"You honor I object. LT Barker has had plenty of time to work his case."  

"Please your honor just a little more time."  

"I will give you three days LT no more."  

"Thank you."  

Jarod walked back over to Murdock. Murdock grab his arm. "What is going
on?"  

"I'm not sure but lets just hope your friends find what they are looking
for."  

Part Twelve 
  

Murdock only stared ahead, wondering what Jared was not telling him. He
felt that Jared knew what was going on. He grabbed Jared by his arm and
hissed, 
  

"I am going to ask you again, what is going on?" 
  

Jared shook Murdock's hand off. "I will tell you later but not in here." 
  

"They better not be in any trouble or else." 
  

General Davis looked over at them. "Is everything all right Lt?" 
  

"Yes sir. My client and I were just discussing something." 
  

"Well okay. But keep your client under control." 
  

"Yes sir." Jared turned to Murdock. "All I can say is that they are
checking something out. Please just trust them." 
  

Murdock replied in a low whisper. "I trust them, it's Stockwell I don't
trust." 
  

Jared nodded hoping the A-team would be successful on this mission. 
  

General Davis banged his gavel on his bench. "Court will reconvene
tomorrow morning at 09:00 hours, court dismissed." 
  

******* 
  

Hannibal and Face sat together on the plane. BA was in another seat, sound
asleep. Face looked over at him. "You know, I wish we didn't always have
to do that." 
  

"Do what?" 
  

"You know, trick BA. I mean one of these days he's going to live up to his
threat." 
  

"Face, BA would never hurt us. Deep down inside he knows he has to get on
the plane." 
  

"I know it just that sometimes I wish there was a better way to do it." 
  

"Yeah I know. Me too, kid, me too." 
  

"Hannibal when do you think we will arrive in Ontario?" 
  

Hannibal looked at his watch. "If nothing goes wrong I say in about an
hour." 
  

"Hum I better make sure." 
  

Face saw one of the flight attendants and got her attention. "Miss? Miss?"

  

Sheri Tanner turned and looked at the handsome man. "Yes sir may I help
you?" 
  

Face put on his best smile and charm. "Yes could you please tell me when
we will arrive in Ontario." 
  

She smiled back at him. "Yes sir in about an hour." 
  

"Thank you." 
  

"You are quite welcome. Is there anything else you need? Tea, coffee, me?"

  

Face smiled at her again. "No nothing else thank you." 
  

"Ok but if you need anything, anything at all, ask for Sheri." 
  

Face nodded "I will and thank you." 
  

Hannibal watch Sheri walk away then turned to Face, "Told you so." 
  

"I just wanted to make sure." 
  

"Uh right." 
  

True to her word, an hour later the plane arrived in Ontario. As they
departed the plane with a groggy BA, --who was not fully awake enough to
growl--, Hannibal turned to his supply officer. "Face get us some
transportation and hurry before BA comes fully around. But it was too
late. 
  

"You put me on a plane Hannibal! I was on a plane! Hannibal! I warned you
about doing that!" 
  

Hannibal looked around. "BA does it look like you are on a plane?" 
  

BA looked around and saw that he was not on a plane. "No but I know I was
on one." 
  

"Yes, but are you on one now?" 
  

"No." 
  

"Then I rest my case. Hey look, Face got us a ride." 
  

BA turned to see Face standing there with a black van. He went over to it
and looked at it carefully. 
  

"It's not as nice as my van but I guess it will do. Let's go get Morrison
and help the fool." 
  

Face and Hannibal winked at each other and got in. Hannibal took out his
cigar and lit it up. "I love in when..." 
  

"Hannibal this plan ain't come together yet and it won't till we help
Murdock. So if you don't want my knuckle sandwich special don't say it."
BA cut him off in mid-slogan. 
  

Hannibal looked back at Face who only shrugged his shoulders. 
  

******** 
  

He sat at his desk on his private plane, his dark glasses hiding his eyes.
He was busy reading something when one of his ables walked in. 
  

"Sir the A-team has arrived in Ontario." 
  

"Good see that the welcome committee is there to greet them." 
  

"Yes sir. Anything else sir?" 
  

"Not at the present time." 
  

The able left and the man swung his chair around. "Mr. Murdock you, your
friends and Stockwell will be so sorry you ever messed with me." 
   On the Run  

Part Thirteen 
  

The team soon arrived at the place where they believed Morrison to be. As
they got out, Hannibal handed them their weapons. 
  

"Okay guys be careful, this could be a trap, keep your guard up and don't
let anyone sneak up on you." 
  

"Uh Hannibal, like I would do that." 
  

"Sorry BA, just being careful." 
  

BA growled at his commander. "Okay BA, you take the left. Face you take
the right and I will take the front." 
  

Both men nodded and made their way round to where Hannibal had ordered
them. Face had not gone very far when he was caught by a rope and swung
upside down. As he struggled to get loose he felt something sting him and
then he passed out. Two men came out of the bushes. One cut him down and
threw him over his shoulder. 
  

"One down two to go." He said to his partner. 
  

The other man only grunted and together they took Face away. 
  

BA walked slowly across the ground avoiding any traps. He made his way
into the house and walked in, keeping his gun close to him and ready. He
saw an open door and approached it slowly. 
  

"Sgt. Baracus. Please come in and join us." 
  

BA knew Morrison's voice, he was not at all surprised to hear it and he
walked in gun drawn. He saw Morrison sitting behind his desk. 
  

"Now is that any way to greet an old friend?" 
  

"You ain't, nor have you ever been ma friend, sucka." 
  

"Too bad I thought we would have been great friends together, but I see
you don't want to be friends. So why don't you join your friends." 
  

Morrison pushed a button and BA fell down though a hole to where Hannibal
and Face were waiting for him. They both rushed over to him. 
  

"BA you ok?" 
  

"Yeah I'm okay, but Morrison won't be, once I get my hands on him." 
  

Hannibal looked around carefully. "Guys I don't think there's anyway out
of here. " 
  

Face looked around too, and saw that Hannibal was right. The room was
completely empty, and there was nothing they could used to help them
escape. "Oh boy now what are we going to do?" 
  

Hannibal smiled, "Wait till Murdock comes." 
  

"Hannibal. In case you forgot, Murdock's in the stockade." 
  

"I have not forgotten that Lt. But if I know Murdock and I do, once he
finds out we are in trouble. He will find a way to us." 
  

********* 
  

Stockwell was writing something when he heard Carla's voice. "I'm sorry
General I tried to stop her." 
  

Stockwell look up and saw Gloria Morrison standing there. "Its ok, Carla I
was expecting her. " 
  

Carla nodded and walked away then Stockwell smiled at Gloria. 
  

"Hello Gloria, may I get you a drink? So nice to see you out of jail. I
hope it wasn't too uncomfortable for you" 
  

"Stockwell don't waste my time. I don't have time for small talk. I want
to know if what I heard is true." 
  

"And what might that be?" 
  

"You know what I am talking about, that Jack could still be alive." 
  

"I'm sorry Gloria but that is need to know." 
  

"You know Hunt whenever you can't give me a straight answer that usually
means that I am right. Jack is alive. Now where is he." 
  

"I'm afraid I can't tell you that Gloria. All I can say is, let's hope The
A-Team bring him back." 
  

Carla walked in and whispered in his ear. Stockwell nodded. 
  

"Hum it's looks like The A-Team has failed, too bad." 
  

"What do you mean?" 
  

"It looks like Morrison has captured them." 
  

Gloria turned and walked away, going to the one person she hoped could
help. 
  

****** 
  

Gloria found the man she had gone to see. 
  

"Mr. Barker you are a hard man to find." 
  

Jared looked up from his paper. 
  

"Hello Mrs. Morrison, what can I do for you?" 
  

"You know Jack is alive." She was not asking a question. Jared took a
drink of his coffee. "I have heard rumors but nothing more." 
  

"Don't give me that bull shit! I know you know its true. The A-Team has
gone to find him. Well I've got news for you Mr. Barker. They found him or
more correctly, he found them." 
  

Mrs. Morrison now had Jared's full attention. "Please sit down and tell me
everything you know." 
  

An hour later Jared knew the whole story. "Oaky Mrs. Morrison. I'm going
to take care of this." 
  

"What do you intend on doing Mr. Barker?" 
  

Jared took her hand. "Mrs. Morrison, It is better that you don't know for
your own safety." 
  

When he got there Lyle was sitting eating. He looked up when Jared entered
the apartment. "Hey. What's up?" 
  

Jared looked up at the ceiling. "Uh nothing." 
  

Lyle laughed a little. "No, what's up means what's going on." 
  

"Oh yeah I forgot. Well Morrison captured the A-Team and we got to help
save them." 
  

"And how do we do that?" 
  

"Easy, just become Murdock." 
  

"That should be easy enough I look like him." 
  

"Good now all we got to do is get you past the military guards so you and
Murdock can trade places." 
  

Lyle stared at Jared. "You want me to stay in the stockade while Murdock
goes for his friends?" 
  

Jared nodded and Lyle stood there for a minute. "Okay how are we going to
pull this off? You see, Jared I'm not allowed to visit Murdock without a
guard. I think they are afraid I will try and trade places with him." 
  

"Don't worry I got a plan." 
 
 Part Fourteen 
  

The young guard cleared his thoat. "Sir?" 
  

The Sgt. looked up and saw one of the guards with a Murdock look alike.
"What's up?" 
  

The young guard smiled. "He's wanting to see Captain Murdock and you know
what the orders were. This guy needs a guard with him at all times." 
  

"Yeah I know. Hold on while I see if he has clearance." 
  

The guard nodded his head. 
  

"Okay, you've got clearance, but only for half an hour." 
  

"Only a half an hour? That is not fair." 
  

The young guard gave Lyle a shove. "Be quiet you are lucky to get anytime
with him." 
  

Lyle said nothing else but he noticed the Sgt snickering. He glared at
both of them. The young guard signed the papers he was given and together
they walked down toward Murdock's cell. 
  

"Now you do know what to do?" 
  

"Yeah I know. You know you didn't have to be so rough back there." 
  

"Sorry." 
  

"Okay but you know you are really good." 
  

Jared smiled. "Thanks." 
  

Murdock heard voices and went to the door. As he watched, it opened and
Jared dressed as a guard and Lyle walked in. 
  

"Hey guys!" 
  

"No time for chit chat Murdock. You and Lyle trade clothes now." 
  

Murdock stared as Lyle started taking off his clothes. "Come on Murdock
the team is in trouble, hustle it." 
  

Hearing that the team was in trouble Murdock quickly stripped off his
clothes. Jared went to the door. 
  

"Okay you two hurry and change. I will watch the door." 
  

"Okay Jared we are ready," replied Lyle. 
  

"Not quite. I wear my hat this way." Murdock fixed his hat. "Okay now we
are ready. Lets go." 
  

"Guys, good luck." 
  

Jared turned to Lyle. "I got to stay here. It would look funny if
Murdock's lawyer suddenly left." 
  

Both men nodded. Soon Jared and Murdock (now Lyle ) left. The Sgt was
surprised. "That wasn't a half an hour." 
  

"Murdock didn't want to see anyone so we left. If you ask me, he should
have, this may have been his last chance." 
  

"Yeah I know what you mean. Now I got to check and make sure that's the
man you came in with and not Captain Murdock." 
  

Murdock stared at Jared, but Jared didn't seem at all nervous. "You must
do your duty sir." 
  

The Sgt walked around Murdock and look at his neck carefully. "Well I
don't see the tattoo we placed on his neck and it can't be removed. So I
guess you aren't Murdock." 
  

"I could have told you I wasn't Murdock. Can I go now? This place givin'
me the creeps." 
  

"Lets go and just be thankful we let you see him." 
  

"Yeah thanks a million." 
  

Once outside Murdock turned to Jared. "Okay I want details and leave
nothing out." 
  

Jared told him everything. "That's all I know Murdock, you got to get
there and help them. Here's the address and there's a plane waiting for
you at the Youngerman Airstrip. You are on your own now. Good luck." 
  

Murdock shook Jared's hand. "Thanks Jared you take care." 
  

"I will, Murdock." 
  

  

Murdock pulled the car into Youngerman Airstrip and after checking in got
the keys and climbed into the plane. Then he checked to make everything
was okay, then taxied his way down the runway. 
  

"Okay guys I'm on my way. Hang in there." 
  

It felt good to be in the air again. Murdock's hair on the back of his
neck stood up. "Okay you can come out from hiding." 
  

Gloria came out from a seat. "I just had to come Mr. Murdock." 
  

"Just take a seat. We should be there shortly." 
  

Gloria nodded and sat down next to Murdock. 
  

****** 
  

The man smiled as he got the report. Murdock, and Gloria Morrison were on
their way and soon the fun would begin. 
  

******* 
  

It seemed like hours since they had eaten and BA was hungry . "I wish
those sucka's would feed us." He replied. Face looked at him. "I'm not
sure if it wouldn't be poison." 
  

Hannibal nodded his head. "Quiet guys I think we have company." 
  

Hannibal motioned for his men to take either side of the door and wait. 
  

"Colonel Smith. I have food for you now move away from the door or else. I
have a gun and I will not hesitate to use it." 
  

Face and BA waited to see what Hannibal would do. "Okay guys move away."
They both did as they were told. "It's safe come on in." 
  

The door opened and a guard and another man came in. The other man was
carrying the tray of food and was hiding his face. Hannibal looked at him
and smiled . 
  

"What are you smiling at Colonel Smith?" The guard asked . 
  

"Oh nothing really. Say have you had a nap yet?" 
  

The guard looked bewildered. "What kind of question is that?" 
  

"Oh nothing It'st just that you are about to go nighty night." 
  

Before the guard could say anything the metal tray came down on his head
hard knocking him out. 
  

The man looked at them. "Hi guys." 
  

"What took you so long fool?" 
  

"Those darn traffic lights." Came Murdock's response. 
  

Part fifteen  

BA gave Murdock a scowl."There ain't no traffic lights in the sky, fool," 


"How do you know? You're asleep half the time."  

BA suddenly approached Murdock, and he ran behind Hannibal. "Okay guys
cool it .We don't have time for this. We need to located Morrison."  

Murdock stared at them. "Then its true Morrison is alive?"  

Face looked at his best friend . "Yeah he is and we have to find him to
prove you didn't kill him."  

"Gentlemen I don't believe that will be possible."  

The A-Team turned to the sound of the new voice and saw a blond haired man
holding Mrs. Morrison at gunpoint. Hannibal slowly looked at Murdock.
Murdock shrugged his shoulders. "She insisted on coming."  

"Gentlemen, please let me introduce myself. Abercombie McCarthy at your
service And, I thank you for leading me to Morrison. But now your services
are no longer required .So you and Mrs. Morrison will be taken out and
killed."  

Hannibal took out a cigar slowly and lit it . "Hey friend you only found
us."  

McCarthy studied this for a moment. 'You have a point Smith."  

He looked at Murdock. "Well I failed the first time getting Morrison .He
had everything work out down to the last detail, faking his death making
sure The A-Team went down for it and you, Mr. Murdock, a pain in his side
.He made sure you would think you killed him ."  

Face looked at McCarthy ."How would he do that?"  

"With my help."  

Murdock shook his head. "How is that possible?"  

"We met in the bar that night. Don't you remember?"  

"Yes I remember but that was Stockwell."  

McCarthy laughed. "Buzz, wrong .That was me I used the power of suggestion
to get you to do it . The gun I gave you had blanks in it. Oh, you shot
Morrison all right but you didn't kill him. I help him escape before the
attack and that SOB took off with all the money and its taken me forever
to find him. "	

Hannibal smiled coldly at him. "You have not found him yet."  

McCarthy smiled coldly right back at him. " You forget Colonel I have the
gun here and I am not afraid to used it on either Mrs. Morrison or
Murdock. And just to prove my point."  

McCarthy raised the gun to Mrs. Morrison's head. "I have no use for her." 


"Wait!"  

"Yes Mr. Murdock?"  

"I know where Morrison is. I will take him to you if you promise not to
hurt anyone."  

"What no fight? Giving up so easily? You're not the Murdock I'd knew in
Nam."  

Murdock just looked at him and then back at Hannibal. "Look I'm tired of
this I want it over with one way or another. Do we have a deal or not?"  

McCarthy pushed Gloria into Face. "Ok, Captain we have a deal, take me to
Morrison."  

May I say good bye to my friends."  

McCarthy nodded.  

Murdock nodded and turned to Hannibal.	

"Why Murdock? We can take this guy."  

"I have to Hannibal, please try to understand . This is something I have
got to do by myself .I am tried of running for me, and for you guys .It
ends now."  

Murdock held out his hand to Hannibal. "Take care of your self Colonel."
He then turned to BA.  

"Hey big guy you take care of Face for me make sure he stays out of
trouble."  

BA nodded." I will fool but you will be back."	

Murdock only smiled then turned to Face. :"Face."  

"Don't say it Murdock, goodbye isn't in my vocabulary .Lets just say until
we meet again."  

Murdock gave Face a big hug ."Till we meet again Muchacho."  

He then pulled away. "Ok I'm ready, follow me."  

McCarthy followed Murdock with his gun on him. "Tell me Murdock. Why all
the goodbyes? "  

"Because I know once I take you to Morrison I will be killed."	

"You know they were right about you. You are one smart cookie."  

*******  

BA smashed his fist against the wall."We got to get out here and help
Murdock."  

"Don't worry BA we will find a way."  

"Why don't we just use the key Murdock gave me?"  

The others turn to Face who was swinging a key on his finger."	

Part Sixteen 
  

Hannibal smiled . "Good old Murdock. Ok, Face get us out of here." 
  

Face quickly unlocked the door and the three men headed down the hall in
the direction Murdock had gone. 
  

"Colonel. I hope you have a plan." 
  

"Face, don't I always have a plan?" 
  

"Hannibal I don't have time for this. Lets help Murdock ,find Morrison
andget Murdock cleared of the charges and then I will sit down and make
you a list." 
  

BA grin and Hannibal nodded."Ok, Murdock must had taken him to Morrison 's
office .We need to gets some weapons and join him." 
  

Soon the team overcame enough guards to get weapons. Now armed with
weapons the team made their way to Morrison 's office. Arriving there,
they found it was locked. 
 
 "BA, break it down." 
  

BA raised his foot and kicked the door in .They ran in, only to be greeted
by the sight of Murdock and Morrison gagged and tied to chairs. BA
approached them. 
  

"Don't worried fool I will get you out." 
  

Murdock 's eyes raised and he shook his head ,his eyes searching down to
the rope. 
  

"Wait, BA, there's something wrong here." 
  

BA stopped at Hannibal's request .Then followed Murdock 's eyes and saw
the wire . 
  

"Hannibal. They been booby trapped !" 
  

"You are quite clever Mr. Baracus . Came McCarthy's voice. "Yes, they are
boobytrapped to a bomb, which will blow you up also . But of course you
can still save yourself just walk out that door or you could try and save
them. There is a way but you only have ten minutes." 
 
 Face turn towards the voice. "You're insane." 
  

"Gentlemen you are running out of time." 
  

"We stay and help them." 
  

"It's your funeral Colonel . I will now bid you farewell I have what I
came for and you gentlemen have what you came for." 
  

The voice ended his speech with a eerie laughter and Face sighed. "Why
must they always do that?" 
  

"Don't know kid. BA can you do anything?" 
  

BA looked over the wires carefully. "This guy a pro Hannibal. But not as
good as I am. I think I can figure it out." 
  

All of then sighed in relief until BA finshed speaking ."But I need more
then ten minutes." 
  

"Do your best BA ." 
  

Time seen to stand still as BA feverishly work on a way to help Murdock
and Morrison without setting off the bomb .Face kept looking at his watch
the time was almost up and BA was no where near figuring it out . 
  

"I've got it !" 
  

"You do BA?" 
  

"Yeah I think you and Face get out of the room just incase I'm wrong." 
  

"No BA .We are a team and if we die, then we die, as a team." 
  

BA looked at Face and he nodded his head. "Okay here goes nothing." 
  

BA slowly loosened the rope around Morrison first, which stopped the
ticking of the bomb. 
  

"That was it? You just had to untie Morrison first?" 
  

"Think about it Face .If you were the bad guy who would you figure we
untie first." 
  

"Murdock .I would figure that being Murdock's friends we would untie him
first. Oh now I get it .He was figuring on that." 
  

Murdock suddenly kicked his chair ."Hmmm mmmm!" 
  

"BA I think its safe to untie Murdock now." 
  

"Do I have to Colonel?" 
  

Murdock's eyes raised again. 
  

"Yes BA, untie him." 
  

BA nodded and untied Murdock. "It's about time, you mudsucker." 
  

"Quiet fool before I tie you back up again. " 
  

Morrison stood up and shook himself. " While you clowns are standing
around, McCarthy getting away." 
  

Murdock smiled, "He's won't get to far ." 
  

"Murdock what do you mean?" 
  

Murdock walked over to the window, "take a look, Faceman." 
  

Face walked over to the window and saw McCarthy and his men being place
under arrest by the Canadian police and then saw Mrs. Morrison and
Stockwell heading towards the house. 
  

"Heads up guys we are getting company." 
  

Stockwell and Gloria walked into the room. "Hello, gentlemen ,thank you
for finding Morrison for me. I will take over now." 
  

"Forget it Stockwell. Morrison going back with us to clear Murdock." 
  

"I don't think so Colonel. Mr. Morrison is coming with me." 
  

Morrison grabbed Hannibal "Please Smith don't let Stockwell take me. He
will kill me. I will clear Murdock I promise. Just don't let Stockwell
take me." 
  

"I have no intention of letting Stockwell take you, I'm doing this for
Murdock, not you." 
  

Morrison stood there frightened, Gloria walked over and stood by him . He
looked at her and knew she still loved him. 
  

"I know you will do the right thing and no matter what's happens I will
always love you." 
  

Stockwell stared at all of them. "Colonel it looks like I am out numbered.
Morrison is yours to take back and prove Murdock is innocent but I want to
know where the money is." 
  

Morrison looked at Stockwell. "Once I return to The United States and
clear Murdock, then given refuge for me and my family I will send you the
key and directions to where I have hidden the money. But only then." 
  

Stockwell agreed and soon they were on a plane back to The United States.
Murdock soon returned to his cell and just like the time before, he and
Lyle trade places .He then waited to be freed. A few hours later Murdock
was free and all charges had been dropped. Morrison kept his word after he
and his family were safe .No one, not even Stockwell was told where they
would be . What was left of the money was returned. Murdock now sat
outside the porch of his uncle's ranch. Lyle and Jared came out to join
him. 
  

"Hey Murdock we came to say goodbye," said Lyle. 
  

"You mean you aren't staying?" 
  

"No Murdock I can't stay, people are searching for me, so I have to go." 
  

"Yeah and I decide to go with Jared for a while maybe go back and visit
Doctor Kimberly .I am glad I found you Murdock at least I now know I have
a family." 
  

"Lyle if you're ever in Los Angeles, look me up." 
  

"I will Murdock." 
  

Murdock gave Lyle a hug and shook Jared's hand. "Thanks for all you did,
Jared." 
  

Jared nodded and with Lyle walked down the road. Murdock watched them till
he could no longer see them. Face came out. "Murdock, You okay?" 
  

"Yeah Face I'm fine. Everything is fine." He then turn and look at Face. 
  

"Face do you know what I am in the mood for." 
  

"No, what?" 
  

"Pizza. Lets go get Hannibal and BA and head for home. I want great pizza
and there not even one good place for pizza in the whole of Texas."  

"Yeah I 'm in the mood for pizza too. Lets go tell them." 
  

Soon the four now free men were heading for home to pizza and to whatever
trouble they could stop Bad guys watch out the A-Team is coming home.
