 Jim Chance and his daughter Dawn were driving down the road in
 his old
 sedan. They were on their way to speak Dawn 's boyfriend, the
 Sheriff,
 because Russell Miller and his sons had been hunting illegally
 on their
 land again. As they were heading down Route 45, a black pick-up
 truck
 suddenly appeared.
 "Gosh dad, it's Russell Miller and his sons,' Dawn told her
 father.
 "I see them. Hold on. I'm going to try and loose them."
 Jim pushed down on the accelerator pedal to gain more speed,
 but the truck
 was coming closer and closer to them.
 Luke Miller, one of Russell 's sons, stuck his head out from
 the back
 window and yelled; "You ain't getting away us, that easy,
 Chance. My
 family and I plan to stop you and your daughter real good.
 Don't we boys?"
 
 The others laughed and hollered as their truck slammed into the
 sedan,
 sending it spinning out of control. It hit the railing
 alongside the road
 and crashed through it, sending the sedan rolling down the
 steep incline
 and landing on its hood at the bottom of the ravine. The
 Millers got out
 of their truck to take a look. All they could see was smoke.
 "Well, boys. It's looks like Jim and Dawn Chance won't be
 telling anyone,
 anything now. Let's head back to town. I sure could use a
 beer." Russell said as he headed back to the truck..
 
 Simon Master stood on the pier looking out at the ocean. He was
 tired and
 miserable. It had been raining all day; and to make matters
 worse he had
 been on a wild goose chase in search of the A-Team. He had been
 told to go
 see Mr. Lee at the Chinese Laundromat, where he waited for
 almost an hour
 before Mr. Lee told him to go Central Park, where he would find
 a hotdog
 man. The man then told him to go to the pier and wait. Simon
 had been
 waiting for seven hours and still no one came. All he had seen
 so far was
 an old lady walking up and down the pier muttering to herself
 about the
 weather. He was just about to give up and leave when she
 approached him.
 
 "Hey. Sonny? Would you help an old lady?"
 
 "I'm kind of waiting for someone."
 
 But it will only take a minute of your time. I lost my poor
 Pokies and I
 can't fine her anywhere. She's my baby. My poor, poor Pokies
 out there all
 alone in this great big world."
 
 
 She suddenly grabbed Simon by the collar.
 
 "Please help me fine my Pokies."
 
 Then she began to cry. Simon patted her on her back, he didn't
 know what
 else to do. Maybe he should help her, he thought, after all no
 one had
 shown up. "Okay .I will help you."
 
 "Thank you, young man. I think Pokies is somewhere over in this
 direction." She pointed towards the beach houses
 
 " What kind of animal is Pokies?"
 
 "Oh Pokies a snake."
 
 Simon winced, he hated snakes but he followed her anyway. They
 walked
 toward the beach houses. Simon had to run to keep up with the
 old lady,
 and he was surprised how fast she moved. 'Must keep in good
 shape.' he
 thought. As he came nearer to the beach houses, he saw the old
 lady going
 up the stone stairs that led to a small beach house. Simon
 began to
 follow. Suddenly he heard a hissing sound. He stopped in his
 tracks. He
 looked down to see a snake coiled up.
 
 "Hey I found your snake," he called up to the old lady.
 
 Simon suddenly felt something hard press against his back. It
 didn't take
 a genius to know that it was a gun.
 
 "You're trespassing."
 
 "I was just helping some old lady find her snake."
 
 "That old lady just happens to be my sweet Nana. Come on we'll
 see if she
 asked you to help her find Pokies."
 
 Simon had no choice but to got with the stranger. He had a gun
 and Simon
 had no weapons. 'Big mistake,' he thought, 'Now I'm going to
 die.' Once
 inside the beach house Simon was surprised when he was suddenly
 grabbed,
 this time by a large man.
 
 "Easy BA. I already checked him over. He's not packing."
 
 "What going on here?"
 
 The old lady took off her wig, then took out a cigar and placed
 it in her
 mouth.
 
 
 "You must be Simon Masters, sheriff of Golden Nugget. I'm
 Hannibal Smith.
 This here is Face." Pointing to the man that Simon had met at
 gunpoint.
 "The man who grabbed you is BA." Simon stared at the big man
 cover in
 gold. BA growled at him.
 
 
 "Sorry for the cloak and dagger. Mr. Masters, but you work for
 the law and
 we don't always get along with the law."
 
 "I know. I read the papers. But I also heard from a friend that
 you are
 good at what you do and I need your help. "
 
 "You're the law. Why do you need our help?"
 
 "My girl friend and her father were run off the road. He was
 killed and
 she's in the hospital. Our mayor, Bill Davis, told me to forget
 about it.
 It was just an accident. But I know better. The Miller's had
 been after
 Jim Chance to sell his land to them. I'm not sure if that why
 they killed
 him but I'm betting on it."
 
 "Do you have proof?"
 
 "No just a gut feeling."
 
 "That's good enough for me. Face go spring Murdock, and use the
 new
 disguise."
 
 "Aw Hannibal do I have too?"
 
 "It will be fun."
 
 "Says you."
 
 BA had been quiet during the whole thing until now. "We don't
 need that
 fool. We don't have to fly. Golden Nugget is only three hours
 away."
 
 "But we may need the extra manpower. Face go and get Murdock."
 Everyone in The VA stared as the big buxom lady moving down the
 hallway
 towards the main desk. She was dressed in a long white gown
 that was
 clinging around her legs and she was wearing a white Sable
 shawl around
 her shoulder. She also wore a wide brimmed hat to top it off.
 She walked
 up to the desk and smiled at the male nurse.
 
 "Hi good lookin, ` is HM ready to go?"
 
 "Excuse me?"
 
 " Humph. A girl asks a question and all she gets back is
 an 'excuse me'. I
 asked you if HM was ready?"
 
 
 "Ready? Ready for what?"
 
 
 "The talent show. My women's club is having one and that good
 Doctor
 Richter gave him a weekend pass to go. You see we're going to
 be doing a
 skit together, a little verse of "My Little Chickadee." I'm Mae
 West and
 he's going to be WC Fields."
 
 
 The male nurse looked through all the weekend passes, but found
 none for
 Murdock "I'm sorry there doesn't seem to be anything here about
 it."
 
 
 "It has to be there. Why don't you give it another look see?"
 
 "They maybe stored in the other room. I'll go take a look."
 
 
 The male nurse headed into another small room and while he was
 gone, Mae
 West quickly placed a pass in with the stacks of passes. The
 male nurse
 came back in.
 
 
 "I'm sorry, Miss?"
 
 
 "My friends call me Mae...Please look again, maybe you missed
 it."
 
 
 He nodded his head and searched again.
 
 
 "Well I'll be darned. Here it is right under my nose. I guess
 it must have
 gotten caught between the other passes. Captain Murdock is in
 his room.
 I'll take you to him. "
 
 
 Mae West AKA Face followed the male nurse down the hallway
 towards
 Murdock's room. When they entered Murdock was on the floor
 looking under
 the bed.
 
 "Now Billy, You come out from under there this instant. How
 many times do
 I have to tell you, black cats are not bad luck?"
 
 The male nurse made an excuse me sound with his voice and
 Murdock looked
 up.
 He stared at the male nurse and then at Mae West, was that
 Face? How in
 the world did he get talked into wearing that? Oh Hannibal most
 likely. He
 placed his hand on his mouth to suppress a giggle. Face noticed
 it and
 acted quickly.
 
 "Mr. Murdock. I told you the skit was today. You're not even
 ready. How
 can we do "My little Chickadee" if you're not ready?"
 
 Murdock spoke in his best WC Fields' voice 'oeAh my little
 chickadee. My
 mind must be slipping I thought it was tomorrow night."
 
 "Well big boy it's today. Your outfit is in the show van. Mr. B
 doesn't
 like to be kept waiting."
 
 Murdock got off the floor and took Mae West's hand. "Well then
 my little
 chickadee shall we go? Art beckons' Moments later they were
 both in the
 van where Murdock lost control and began laughing.
 
 " Murdock knock it off. Hannibal I need to get out of this
 outfit. I look
 ridiculous."
 
 "Face you look so much like Mae West. But you forgot one
 important
 detail."
 
 " What? What did I forget Murdock? Tell me."
 
 Murdock leaned over to Face and said in his best Mae West
 voice. "Won't
 you come up and see me some time, big boy?"
 
 Face pushed Murdock away. "Hannibal!"
 
 "Keep your shirt, I mean dress on Lieutenant until we're at
 someplace
 where I can think out a plan and you can change your clothes."
 
 Face tried to sit back but it was impossible in the dress. The
 rest of the
 men giggled a bit.
 
 Russell Miller was pacing the floor of his ranch house located
 twelve
 miles from Golden Nugget. He now turned to his youngest and
 oldest sons.
 "Now are you boys sure you saw Masters coming into town with
 strangers?"
 
 "We sure did Pa.," answered Skeeter the youngest. "Didn't we
 Luke?"
 
 Luke who was sitting on the arm of sofa stood up. "We did Pa,
 four of
 them. They look like they could be a lot of trouble, Pa. "
 
 "Yeah. Pa. One guy is huge Pa."
 
 "So Masters brought in help did he? Well I think we can handle
 any help
 Masters brings in, where are your brothers?"
 
 "Upstairs." replied Luke.
 
 "Jim, Bob,"
 
 "Yeah Pa?" Jim answered for both of the twins.
 
 "Get down here. It seems like Sheriff Masters has brought four
 strangers
 to Golden Nugget and as citizens I think we should welcome
 them."  

Part 2
 
 BA drove for a while before he spotted an old farmhouse. It wasn't much
to
 look at. The white paint of the house was blistered and peeling from not
being
 taken care of but it would make a nice place for the team to make their
base.
 "Hey Hannibal? How about that place." BA asked as he pointed at the
house.
 "I think this will do just fine BA. Okay Face, you go and change. Then I
want
 you and Murdock to pick up some supplies."
 Face looked at Hannibal the best he could but it was hard to turn with
the
 dress on. "And what will you be doing?"
 "BA and I will be in town talking to Sheriff Masters."
 Face growled under his breath." How are we suppose to get into town for
 supplies, if you and BA take the van?"
 Hannibal went over to Face and placed his hand over his shoulder. "Now
Face. I
 know that a man like you will have no trouble getting a way into town."
 Face shook Hannibal off and headed towards the house. Murdock skipped
over to
 him.
 "Hey good lookin' How's about I help you get undressed."
 "Leave me alone. Murdock." Face growled as he grabbed the door and walked
in.
 BA watched as Murdock followed inside. "Hannibal? Do you think it's safe
to
 leave the fool alone with Face? He's really angry that you made him to
dress up
 as Mae West."
 Hannibal stared for a moment then he looked at BA. "I think it was a
classy
 and Face pulled it off so well. Don't worry Murdock can handle himself."
 BA nodded then got in to his van, Hannibal followed him in and then he
drove
 away. Murdock was looking out of the window. "They're gone."
 "Hey big boy. Won't you come over and help a lady out of her dress. You
big
 strong man." Face said in his Mae West voice.
 Murdock smiled his whole face lighting up like a birthday cake. That
smile
 always made Face melt. "I thought you'd never ask my little chickadee."
 Face giggled as Murdock slowly approached him. He first pulled down the
zipper
 on the back of the dress, kissing every time he saw Face's smooth skin
appear.
 "Hum Face. I've been waiting to do this ever since I saw you in this
dress. You
 skin feels so baby soft."
 Face groaned as Murdock pulled down the zipper slowly. When Murdock was
done
 he kissed the nape of Face's neck, "You smell so good."
 Face swirled around to meet Murdock's mouth. He wanted to taste Murdock.
Soon
 the dress was off now Murdock was working on the griddle.
 "Murdock, hurry up. We don't have all day."
 "Patience my love. One cannot hurry art and you're an art piece to
behold. I
 want to savor every moment."
 Face moaned as Murdock worked his magic fingers releasing and removing
the
 griddle and letting in fall to the floor. Face now stood there with only
a
 petticoat on. Murdock soon had it on the floor as well. Then he slowly
lay on
 the floor and started to pull Face down with him.
 "No Murdock not on the floor it's dirty."
 Murdock reached up and stroked Face's face. "There's no bed not even a
couch
 so this will have to do. If you want me to scrub it for you I will but I
doubt
 there's any water in this place. So I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I
will
 let you be on top that way only I will get dirty."
 Face was touched by Murdock's offer. He smiled as he came down on Murdock
and
 their lips met. Their tongues opening up to each other, tasting and
savoring
 each breath. They both wanted to do more but time was not on their side.
So
 after about 10 minutes of kissing they got up and left the house.
 Murdock stood watching as Face flagged down a car. A pretty girl was
driving
 and Face went into his act. An act that always made Murdock's skin crawl.
 "Well hello there miss." Face said in his smooth talking voice.
 "Hi yourself." The girl replied in just as smooth talking voice.
 "My friend and I need a ride into town."
 The girl looked at Face "You're cute get in."
 "What about my friend?"
 "Oh. He can ride in the back."
 Face opened the door and got in. "Come on she's taking us to town."
 Murdock climbed into the back since the doors didn't work and got as
 comfortable as he could. He watched as Face placed his arms around the
girl
 shoulders. Murdock suddenly kicked the back of the seat Face was sitting
in.
 Face jumped and turned to stare at Murdock.
 "Sorry just trying to get comfortable." Murdock replied.
 Simon Masters walked into to his office. Smith told him to wait there
they
 would contact him. He wasn't too sure if he hadn't made a mistake hiring
the
 A-Team. They all seemed just a little off center to him, but mostly
Smith. He
 was glad that Smith was one of the good guys, because a mind like Smith
could be
 dangerous.
 ******************************************************************
 The girl dropped them off at the merchant and after Face gave her a kiss
and
 got her phone number, "Call Me," she said.
 Face nodded and smiled. Murdock stood off the side watching his arms were
 folded and his eyes were hooded. Soon Face strolled over to him. "Come on
let's
 get the supplies."
 "Did you enjoy it?" Murdock asked.
 "Enjoy it? Face asked back.
 "The ride, the cuddling, the kiss." Murdock answered.
 "Murdock. Are you jealous? You know that was just a scam. You are the
only one
 for me, and later I will show you. Now let's get this done." Face walked
into
 the merchant.
 Murdock smiled and thought about later as he followed Face into the
merchant.
 Luke Miller threw down the butt of the cigarette he had been smoking and
went
 to get his father and brothers.
 Face and Murdock were coming out of the merchant, where they had
purchased a
 few things they would need for Hannibal's plan, when Murdock spotted four
rough
 looking men headed their way.
 "Looks like we got company, Muchacho." he said to Face.
 Before Face could respond one of the men stood right in front of him, his
 crooked nose almost touching Face.
 "Didn't anyone ever tell you about personal space?" Face asked.
 The man laughed. "Hey. Boys, looks like we got a clown here" the man
said.
 Then he poked his finger into Face's chest. "Do you have any idea who I
am?
 Boy?"
 Face shoved the man's finger away from him. "Yeah a dead man if you don't
move
 out of my personal space."
 "Hey don't you talk that way to my Pa." Luke said as he moved towards
Face
 with his gun drawn.
 Murdock cocked his gun. "I think you better back away. If you don't want
me to
 put a slug in you."
 The man never took his eyes off of Face as he spoke to his son. "Lower
your
 gun son these two yahoos look harmless. I don't want to waste my time
with them.
 I want their boss."
 Face was now seeing red and before he could even think, his fist made
 connection with the man's face, knocking him on the ground. Then all hell
broke
 loose. The man was up and slammed right into Face, Luke plowed into
Murdock.
 Skeeter ran to help his Pa and Bob ran to help Luke the other twin. Jim
just
 watched.
 Face and Murdock managed to get a few good blows in even though they were
out
 numbered. Suddenly everyone stopped as they heard the sound of a gun
being
 fired. They turned to look. A white haired man with a cigar in his mouth
was
 holding an AK 47.
 "Now I think that's just about enough. Mr. Miller. You really need to
grow up,
 after all you have to show a good example to your sons."
 Russell walked over to Hannibal. "I take it you're their boss. Well let
me
 tell you something. We don't like strangers."
 Hannibal gave him only a smile then stepped back to reveal a big scary
looking
 man.
 "I don't like strangers either. As a matter of fact I eat them for
breakfast,"
 the man growled as he picked up Russell and tossed him. Three of
Russell's son
 ran to him, the youngest twin, Jim just stood there.
 "You okay? PA? " Skeeter asked.
 "I'm fine. Let's go." He stood up and glared at Smith. "You haven't seen
the
 last of Russell Miller, count on it."
 "I'll be counting the days until we meet again." Hannibal replied.
 Russell growled then walked away. Jim looked at The A-Team. "You guys got
guts
 to stand up to my Pa." Then he walked over to his family. 

Face looked at the others. "What do you think he meant by that? Do
 you think he's one of the good guys?"
 
 
 
 Hannibal smiled as he puffed on his cigar. " You're guess is good as
 mine. Come on let's get over the sheriff's office and see what's up."
 
 
 
 The rest nodded as they followed Hannibal towards the sheriff's
 office. When they walked in Sheriff Masters was just hanging up the
 phone. He looked up when he heard then enter. "That was the hospital,
 Miss Chance is ready to tell me what happened." He grabbed his hat
 off the rack. "You better come too."
 
 
 
 "Face and I will come with you." Hannibal replied. He turned to
 Murdock and BA. "I want you two to check out our new friends we met
 today, I saw then heading for the bar."
 
 
 
 "You mean saloon, Hannibal " Murdock corrected his leader.
 
 
 
 BA grabbed Murdock tightly by his collar. "He means bar fool. This is
 not the old west."
 
 
 
 Murdock struggled to get loose while at the same time trying to talk;
 but BA's grip was too strong. Face looked over at Hannibal expecting
 the Colonel to do something.
 
 
 
 "Let go of Murdock, BA. That is a bit silly to be getting mad about.
 Now release him." Hannibal said firmly.
 
 BA growled but he let Murdock go. Murdock moved away from him. "One
 of these days you're going to go too far and that will be the end of
 me."
 
 
 
 "Fool if I wanted to do that you would have been dead long ago." BA
 said calmly.
 
 Murdock stared at his but decided to say nothing.
 
 
 
 "You two get going, and BA, just ignore Murdock." Hannibal said. BA
 only shook his head as he walked away, Murdock soon followed.
 
 
 
 Once they were gone, Hannibal turned back to Simon Masters. "Okay
 let's go."
 
 
 
 "The hospital is about three miles from here, we'll take my car."
 They all walked over to a white 1979 Pinto. Simon got into the driver
 seat. "One of you will have to sit in the back."
 
 
 
 Face looked at Hannibal hoping he would get in the back, but his
 hopes were dashed as his commander pulled back the front seat and
 waited for him to get in. Face climbed into the back and Hannibal got
 in the front with Sheriff Masters. It only took about ten minutes to
 get there. Once there and parked, Simon headed inside and went
 straight to Dawn Chance's room. The twenty two year old woman was
 sitting in a wheelchair facing the window. Bandages covered her head.
 Simon walked over to her then slowly turned the wheelchair around.
 She let out a scream.
 
 
 
 'Dawn?" he said quietly. "It's me calm down"
 
 
 
 It took Dawn a few minutes to register who it was, but once she did
 she fell into his arms sobbing. "Oh Simon. They told me my father's
 dead. How can this be? Who would hurt him? He was a good man."
 
 
 
 Simon patted her on the back. "That's why we're here Dawn. We need
 you to tell us what happened."
 
 
 
 "Us?" Dawn asked.
 
 
 
 Simon motioned for Hannibal and Face to come over. "Dawn, these two
 men, along with two others, have come to help. Now are you up to
 telling us what happened?"
 
 
 
 Dawn stared at the white haired older man and the young blond haired
 man, then she turned back to Simon. "I want to help Simon I do. But I
 don't remember the accident. The last thing I can remember was that
 ... " she paused for a moment. "We were on our way into town to get
 supplies. We were laughing and Dad was excited about the soybean
 crop. He told me there was enough to keep the farm going and for me
 to go to college." She stopped again to wipe her eyes. "Dad always
 wanted me to go, but until now he was never able to afford it and now
 he's gone." She hung her head.
 
 
 
 Hannibal placed his hand on her shoulder and she looked up at
 him. "Miss Chance. I know this is hard, but it really would help if
 you could remember."
 
 
 
 "Don't you think I've been trying? My father is dead and I can't
 remember how it happened." Dawn cried her voice now rising.
 
 
 
 Face stepped forward. "Miss Chance, do you remember if your father
 had any trouble with Russell Miller and his boys?"
 
 
 
 Dawn's eyes flared, and when she spoke there was anger in her
 tone. "Miller is a son of bitch! He wouldn't leave Dad alone. He
 wanted to buy father's land so he could expand his land, but Dad
 wouldn't sell. Do you think they had something to do with what
 happened?"
 
 
 
 Simon took her hand. "We're not sure, I was hoping you could tell us.
 But without your testimony I can't arrest them."
 
 
 
 Dawn lowered her head, "I'm so sorry I can't remember, Simon."
 
 
 
 "I know Dawn. I 'm sorry but I can't do anything. My hands are tied."
 
 
 
 "Well ours aren't. We will get the proof or die trying. Come on Face.
 It was nice meeting you Miss." Hannibal left with Face right behind
 him.
 
 
 
 "What did you mean by 'die trying'?"
 
 
 
 "Face. It's just a figure of speech. Now come on I got a plan."
 
 
 
 "Plan? What plan?"
 
 
 
 "Patience Lt. Come on I'll tell you when we get back with BA and
 Murdock."  

Face's mind was racing; he knew Hannibal's plans hardly ever worked
 out. "Hannibal, now just wait a minute. I want to know what you are
 planning to do."
 
 
 
 Hannibal stopped walking and turned towards Face. "Well we know that
 Miller wanted to buy Mr. Chance's land, what we don't know is why."
 
 
 
 Face waited for Hannibal to continue.
 
 
 
 "Now Face, You know, as well as I do, that Miller doesn't want the
 land to grow soybeans; or any other crop for that matter. So we need
 to make Mr. Miller think that there's another person interested in
 buying Mr. Chance's land."
 
 
 
 Face's eyes widened as he was catching on to Hannibal's idea. "You
 want me to be that other person."
 
 
 
 "Why not you Face? You've got a mind for business. You're perfect."
 
 
 
 Face shook his head. "There's no way this idea will work Hannibal.
 They met me, so they know I'm with you. You kind of made sure of
 that."
 
 
 
 Hannibal took out his cigar and bit off the end. "Face, all he knows
 is that you work for me, Mr. Thompson Applegate."
 
 
 
 "I guess that will work." Face replied but he was still not too sure.
 
 
 
 "It will work Face, my plans always work."
 
 
 
 "Since when?"
 
 
 
 "All the time. Cheer up lieutenant, the sooner we get the bad guys.
 the more time you can spend with Murdock."
 
 
 
 Face looked surprised. "Hannibal. I have no idea what you're talking
 about."
 
 
 
 "Yeah okay my mistake, but I really thought you and Murdock were
 coming out of the closet."
 
 
 
 Face began walking away " Come on Murdock and BA might need us."
 
 
 
 Hannibal laughed as he followed Face towards the bar.
 
 
 
 **********************************************************************

 Murdock sat with his feet on the table, his cap just a tad over his
 eyes; but there was just enough of an opening for him to see Russell
 Miller and his sons. All of them stood by the bar. They were all
 drinking beers and talking. Murdock smiled because this was so easy,
 he could pick up every word. He always knew someday learning to read
 lips would come in handy. He watched a little longer, waiting to read
 what Hannibal needed to know. He has learned plenty but not enough.
 
 
 
 "PA! It's one of them strangers we had a fallout with."
 
 
 
 Russell stood up " So it is. Now isn't that nice. Say boy, where's
 your pretty face friend?"
 
 Luke , Sheeter and Bob surrounded Murdock. Luke pushed Murdock. "My
 Pa asked you a question. Boy."
 
 
 
 Murdock stared at Luke. "Really? I think I heard him just fine. I
 have no idea where he is. I'm in here just having a drink."
 
 
 
 "Scooter! I thought I'd find you in here. How many times do I have to
 tell you: if you want to work for me, you've got to stop drinking."
 
 
 
 Both Murdock and the Millers turned towards the voice. Russell
 spoke . "Well if it isn't the pretty boy himself."
 
 
 
 Face walked over to Murdock. "You get out of here, and you'd better
 hope Mr. Applegate doesn't find out you're drinking on the job again.
 He'll have our asses."
 
 
 
 Murdock nodded his head. "Thanks for not telling on me." Face lipped
 his name for this con. "Mr. Temptation." Murdock then hurried out.
 Once outside, BA pulled up the van . Murdock climbed in. He smiled at
 BA and Hannibal.
 
 
 
 "What did you find out Murdock?"
 
 
 
 "Well I found out that Miller and his sons had something to do with
 Chance's death."
 
 
 
 "We know that fool. Do you know if they actually killed him?"
 
 
 
 Murdock gave BA a dirty look. "I was talking to Hannibal, and, no,
 they didn't actually say that."
 
 
 
 BA scowled and grabbed Murdock. "Then how do you know they had
 something to do with it? We need proof, Fool."
 
 
 
 Murdock shook BA off. "I know. I was reading their lips and..."
 
 
 
 "You don't read lips, Fool."
 
 
 
 "I do too. It's one thing I was taught. It's not my fault you can't."
 
 
 
 Hannibal sighed. "Will you two knock it off? Now according to his
 daughter, Jim Chance grew soybeans."
 
 
 
 BA shifted a little. "Why would anyone kill someone over soybeans?"
 
 
 
 Hannibal blew out smoke. "That's what Face is going to find out."
 
 
 
 Murdock felt his heart fall; Hannibal was putting Face in danger
 again. He looked at Hannibal. "Is Face going in undercover?" he asked
 with concern.
 
 
 
 "Yes. Don't worry Murdock. If I didn't think Face could handle it, I
 wouldn't let him do it."
 
 
 
 "Hannibal! These guys are Rednecks. Face doesn't do Rednecks. Let me
 go in. I can handle it." Murdock said.
 
 
 
 Hannibal shook his head. "No. When it come to doing this kind of a
 job, Face has more experience."
 
 
 
 Murdock turned away and muttered, "I hope so."  

Russell Miller stood and stared at Face. "Do you think I'm stupid?
 Boy."
 
 
 
 "Now why would I think that?" Face answered quickly.
 
 
 
 "I know Sheriff Master hired you and those others, you were all
 together."
 
 
 
 "Well of course we were together. I work for Applegate. He's buys
 land all over the USA and he came to see if Mr. Chance was willing to
 sell. As his foreman, it's up to me to check out the land."
 
 
 
 "So, what about the other guy? Why was he in here spying on us?" Luke
 piped up.
 
 
 
 "Scooter? This is a bar, right? Well, Scooter the best survey man
 I've ever worked with. But he has a drinking problem - if you know
 what I mean. I was looking for him; and I knew he would be here
 because this is the only bar in town."
 
 
 
 Russell studied Face for a long time. "How much do you think Chance's
 land is worth?"
 
 
 
 "I suppose as a ball park figure, I say, around $10,000. That's just
 a ball park figure."
 
 
 
 "I own that land now." Miller said.
 
 
 
 Face nodded his head hoping to hide his surprise. "I was told by your
 sheriff that Chance's daughter was the new owner."
 
 
 
 Miller laughed and took out a deed. "Chance never was a very good
 poker player. His poker face was always a give away. He lost the land
 to me three days before his death. I guess he never got time to tell
 his sweet daughter."
 
 
 
 "So do you want to sell it? I could take a quick look and tell you
 how much it's worth."
 
 
 
 Miller placed his arm around Face's shoulder. "Why don't you come
 home with us and we'll talk."
 
 
 
 "I really can't. I mean not without my surveyor."
 
 
 
 Bob stood by Face and grabbed his arm. "My Pa invited you to visit
 us. You don't want to say no to my Pa. It may not be good for your
 health."
 
 
 
 Face looked at Bob and swallowed. Bob Miller was a big man, around 6
 feet and 3 inches; and Face guessed he weigh around 250 pounds. "Hey
 who am I to turn down an invite."
 
 
 
 "See we can all get along, "replied Miller.
 
 
 
 Murdock watched from a safe distance as Face climbed into the cab of
 the truck. He watched as it drove away. Murdock then got on his
 walkie-talkie. "Our swallow has flown. I repeat our swallow has
 flown."
 
 
 
 BA shook his head and gave the walkie-talkie to Hannibal. "Okay,
 Murdock, follow them but keep out of sight. "
 
 
 
 "Roger, over and out. " Murdock turned the walkie-talkie off and
 followed the truck. Murdock was keeping a good distance from the
 truck. The roads were all dirt roads, but the jeep had good traction.
 He watched as the truck made a sharp turn around a bend. As Murdock
 made the turn, he slammed on his breaks to stop the jeep. He slowly
 got out and looked around. For miles and miles all he could see was
 the open road. The truck with Face in it was nowhere in sight.  

His head was pounding as he slowly opened his eyes, but quickly shut
 them again because he was seeing bright colors. He waited a few
 minutes before he slowly opened them again.
 
 
 
 "Welcome back to the open world Peck."
 
 
 
 Face didn't want to look towards the voice. His head was killing him
 so he muttered, "thanks"
 
 
 
 Miller walked over to him and bent down. Face noticed his legs were
 shackled together; but his hands were free. Miller gave him a cup of
 water.
 
 
 
 "Don't want you to be dying on me just yet. Peck"
 
 
 
 Face only stared at the water. Miller stood back up. "I guess you
 wonder how I know who you are."
 
 
 
 "Not really " Face replied.
 
 
 
 Miller suddenly grabbed Face and pulled him up on his feet. "Well I'm
 going to tell you. I was in the army once; and I still get
 information about The A-Team. I guess you want to know where we are.
 Am I right boy?"
 
 
 
 Face looked around and saw that he was in some kind of underground
 tunnel or something; but he also noticed that most of it had been
 destroyed by a blast of some kind
 
 
 
 
 
 "I suppose it's something of the army's " Face answered
 sarcastically.
 
 
 
 Miller stared at him, "You got no manners boy. The army used it
 during the cold war. We wanted to make sure that we were ready when
 the Russians attacked. This was used for making weapons. But then the
 terror died down and army wanted to destroy this place." He stopped
 to look at Face. "All of this would've been gone forever. I wouldn't
 let that happen. So when our battalion leader told me, Juan Rodgers
 and James Chance to stay behind and set up the explosives to destroy
 this place forever, I couldn't. I waited 'til Rodgers and Chance set
 one part to blow. Before they could get out I set the explosives to
 blow, closing that part of the tunnel forever, and closing their fate
 as well. "
 
 
 
 He stopped again waiting for a reaction from Face but got
 none. "Imagine my surprise when Chance showed up with his daughter. I
 was so sure he died that day."
 
 
 
 "So you decided to make sure this time?"
 
 
 
 "Now boy. I'm telling you the same thing I've told the sheriff, me
 and my sons had nothing to do with that."
 
 
 
 He pushed Face back down on the ground. "I'll have Suzy bring you
 some food; don't want you poorly when Decker comes and gets you."  

Face watched as Miller walked away and a young girl, he guessed to be
about 17,
 came in. She slowly placed a bowl of watered down soup in his hands.
 
 "My granddaddy said you got to eat this. Then afterwards my daddy will
come and
 get you."
 
 Face smiled at her, hoping to win her over. "You're Suzy? You're a mighty
pretty
 young girl."
 
 "Stop right there you fast talkin' skunk. My granddaddy warned me you
would try
 to sweet talk me. Well I got news for you: I ain't stupid . Now you eat
your
 soup before I pour it down your throat."
 
 Face stared at her and thought to himself: You're going to be hard Suzy -
but I
 like a challenge. He took the bowl, raised it to his lips, and took a
drink.
 "Hum - just like my mom used to make."
 
 Suzy gave him a tad of a smile. "Hurry up and eat, that guy from the army
will
 be here soon."
 
 Face finished the rest of the soup. He then started to feel sleepy. Nice
going
 Peck! he thought just before he passed out. Suzy looked down at him to
make sure
 he was asleep . She left and found her family waiting for her. Miller
walked
 over to her. placing his arm around her shoulders.
 
 "Did he eat it all girl?"
 
 "Yes, Granddaddy."
 
 "Good girl. Now you've done your job. You head on back home."
 
 Suzy smiled after giving him a kiss on the cheek. Russell watched to make
sure
 Suzy left safely. Russell turned back to his sons. "Luke - you and Bob go
and
 meet Decker. Skeeter - you and Jim take Peck to the house. Make sure he's
awake
 when we come with Decker."
 
 They all nodded and left. Luke and Bob in a green rust color truck,
Skeeter and
 Jim in a blue Buick. Russell lit himself a cigarette and then left in a
red
 silver truck
 *****
 Murdock paced the floor of Simon Masters' office like a trapped puma.
Masters
 looked up from his map, then at Hannibal. Hannibal nodded fully
understanding.
 Murdock was making Masters a little nervous.
 
 "Murdock - either sit down or come over and help."
 
 Murdock stop and came over. "Sorry, Hannibal. I'm just worried."
 
 "I know, but it won't help Face. Masters told us that he believes there
was an
 underground tunnel made by the army during the sixties. He's trying to
find the
 location on the map. Once he does I want you and BA to head out that way
and see
 if you can find it."
 
 Masters walked up to them. "I think I found it; but it's been closed off
for
 years. There's no way to get to it."
 
 Hannibal took a drag of his cigar. "Well then I guess we'll just have to
find a
 way. "
 
 "Hannibal," came BA's voice by the door. "We got company."
 
 Hannibal and Masters went to the door. Decker was heading right towards
them.
 
 "Now isn't that just great, that's all we need - Decker in the picture.
BA,
 Murdock get going. I'll stall Decker." Hannibal told them, they left just
before
 Decker walked in.
 
 "Hey Decker! Fancy meeting you here. Small world."
 
 "I got you this time Smith. Now where's Baracus?"
 
 "I have no idea. What? You're not asking about Peck?"
 
 Decker gave Hannibal a snake like smile. "I already have Peck and now
I've got
 you." He turned to Captain Crane, "Handcuff Smith and remember he's
sneaky.
 Then, I want Baracus found .If Captain Murdock is with him, bust his ass
as
 well."  

As Decker escorted Smith to the waiting van, he gloated, "This it
 Smith, no more running I got you and Peck, thanks to some honest men
 in this town, and I will soon have Baracus. Too bad Murdock isn't
 with you."
 
 "You know Decker, gloating is so unbecoming. Don't count your
 chickens before they hatch," Hannibal replied.
 
 Decker said nothing more, he just shoved Smith against the back of
 the van. Hannibal climbed in and saw Face lying on one of the long
 benches in the van. "What happened to my man, Decker?" he demanded.
 
 Decker looked over at Peck. "He gave Miller a little trouble, tried
 to get away. Miller had no choice but to knock him out. I really
 don't' approve of it, but Miller explained to me he had no choice.
 Peck tried to killed him."
 
 Hannibal quickly went to Face. He slowly and carefully opened one of
 Face's eyes. It was dull and unresponsive. "Decker! You fool! Peck
 has been drugged!", Hannibal said, barely able to contain his anger
 and disgust.
 
 Decker climbed in and checked Peck also. "I'll have the med check
 him when we get back." He climbed back down, and turned to the two
 men who were taking Smith and Peck in. "I'm staying behind to find
 Baracus. Smith is cunning, so don't fall for any of his tricks. If
 you do, and they somehow get away, I will bust you both down to Buck
 Privates, "
 
 "Sir," one of them spoke up. "I don't think Peck is going anywhere."
 
 "Don't ever take the A-Team for fools .If anyone can find a way to
 escape with a man down, it's Smith. So do as I say."
 
 They both nodded as Decker walked away.
 
 Hannibal sat close to Face, wondering what kind of drug was used on
 him. Suddenly Face jerked and Hannibal was at his side. "Hey kid it's
 okay I'm here."
 
 Face slowly opened his eyes and gave Hannibal a wicked smile and said
 in a soft voice.
 
 "I knew you would come my big strong Bunny Bums."
 
 Hannibal slowly took Face's hand "Face listen to me. I'm Hannibal
 not.... " Before Hannibal could finish Face was in his arms, kissing
 him. Hannibal felt himself enjoying the kisses, but he knew he had to
 stop them. 'Lt.! Stop! Now! You need to focus."
 
 Face stared at Hannibal. "Don't you love me Murdock? Oh God, I
 couldn't stand it if you left me like Leslie. Please Murdock, I need
 you."
 
 Hannibal gently placed his fingers on Face's face. "I won' leave you
 Face. I promise."
 
 Face smiled and gave Hannibal one last kiss before he drifted off
 again.
 
 "Bunny Bums? Huh?" Hannibal said to himself.
 
 **********************************************************************
 ****************************
 
 BA stared at Murdock, who was dressed as a five-star general. "I
 don't know about this. Who in their right minds would mistake you for
 a general?"
 
 Murdock gave him a wicked smile before answering him. "Please BA, I'm
 a five-star general, not just any old general."
 
 "Shut up fool and explain your plan." BA snapped.
 
 "How can I shut up and explain it at the same time?"
 
 BA started to grab Murdock, but then he stopped. "Just explain the
 plan."
 
 Murdock nodded. "You see my good friend BA. I have the airs and the
 looks of a general. I could have been an actor."
 
 BA turned away from Murdock as he heard the van before it came into
 view. "Hey fool, the van's coming you better make this work."
 
 "Oh ye of little faith. You just make sure you know your part. We may
 only have one chance at this." Murdock said to BA.
 
 BA nodded and got into position. As the van came down the road, one
 of the men inside spotted a jeep on the road. They could also see a
 general talking to his driver.
 
 "Come on swing around we got to get these prisoner to the prison."
 one of them said.
 
 "We have to stop it's a general." The other one said.
 
 "You heard what Decker said. We can't stop. I don't want to be a Buck
 Private again." the one named Tom said to the first one.
 
 "Well," said Tim "A general is higher then a colonial so I'm
 stopping."
 
 The van then pulled up in front of the jeep. Tim got out and went
 over to the general. Tim noticed it was a five-star general, and he
 saluted.
 
 Murdock looked at the private. "Well, why are you just standing
 there! My jeep's broken down, and my driver knows nothing about them
 at all. I asked for an expert driver, and they give me this moron."
 
 Tim looked back at BA, who stood there with his head down, staring at
 the engine. "I'll see what I can do Sir."
 
 "You do that. If you fix my jeep, I will see that you're promoted to
 Corporal."
 
 "Thank you Sir. " Tim hurried over to the jeep and shoved BA
 aside. "Go take a walk. Let a real man fix this jeep."
 
 BA growled but left .He slow and quietly went to the side of the van
 where the other private was waiting.
 
 
 
 "Come on, will you hurry up? We've got to get these prisoners to the
 prison."
 
 BA rapped on the door, and Tom turned to see who it was. He knew
 Baracus and was about to call for help, when BA pulled open the door.
 He grabbed him, and pulled him out, throwing him into a nearby bush.
 Murdock hurried around. "I told you to be gentle."
 
 "Shut up fool. Is the other guy secured?"
 
 "Yep tried up and wrapped for Christmas."
 
 "Then wrap up the other one, while I get Hannibal and Face."
 
 Murdock nodded as he went to the bushes and wrapped up Tom; who
 wasn't hurt, just shook up. Murdock then joined BA as he pried open
 the back of the van. They both stared at the sight that greeted them.
 Face was on top of Hannibal, kissing him like there was no tomorrow.
 
 Hearing the van doors open, Hannibal looked up. "I can explain. This
 isn't what it seems like."  

BA shook his head and went to the front of the prison van. Murdock
 climbed in the back. Hannibal had somehow gotten Face off of him and
 was now sitting up, holding him against his body to keep Face from
 falling. Murdock sat down and quietly took Face into his own arms.
 
 
 
 "How bad do you think he was drugged?" the pilot asked, not really
 looking at Hannibal.
 
 
 
 "Well he kept going in and out, but I don't believe they intended to
 kill him." Hannibal now looked at Murdock. "Murdock, I hope you
 don't think that...."
 
 
 
 Murdock shook his head. "No. Don't say it Hannibal. I know Face, and
 he would never betray me - unless he had to for the good of the
 team." Murdock stroked Face's hair and Face let out a pleasurable
 sigh.
 
 
 
 The prison van suddenly stopped, and they heard BA getting out. They
 looked at each other and wondered what was going on. Murdock gently
 laid Face down and handed Hannibal's gun to him. He grabbed his own
 gun as Hannibal slowly opened the door. There stood BA with his hands
 up, while one of Miller's sons, along with a young girl, pointed a
 gun at BA. Neither one of the strangers noticed Hannibal and
 Murdock. Hannibal motioned for Murdock to get out, sneak up on them,
 and disarm the boy. Murdock nodded and quietly got out of the van and
 came up on them both. He quickly placed his gun against the boy's
 back.
 
 
 
 "Now - nice and easy - place your weapon on the ground." he hissed.
 
 
 
 The boy slowly did what he was told. "Hey it's okay; we're here to
 help."
 
 
 
 Murdock kicked the gun away from the boy. "Then why are you pointing
 a gun at my big friend here?"
 
 
 
 "Because he is big! That's why Jim is pointing his gun at him. We're
 afraid for our lives." the girl answered.
 
 
 
 "You don't need to be afraid of me little Momma. I ain't gonna hurt
 you." BA said calmly.
 
 
 
 "I'm not little and I sure ain't your momma." The girl said.
 
 
 
 Hannibal came around the van and picked up the gun. "BA, how could
 you let your guard down like that?" he asked.
 
 
 
 BA gave Hannibal a hard look. "Hannibal, I don't need you getting on
 your high horse with me. That young lady was lying in the middle of
 the road and I was not about to run over her."
 
 
 
 Hannibal ignored BA and looked at the boy and girl. "Aren't you one
 of Miller's sons?" he asked the boy.
 
 
 
 "Yeah. My name is Jim and this is my niece Suzy. She's the one who
 helped drug your friend."
 
 
 
 "I was only doing what Granddaddy told me to do."
 
 
 
 Jim slowly reached in to his pocket. "I got the antidote."
 
 
 
 Murdock quickly took the bottle and stared at it. "How do we know
 this isn't a trap?"
 
 
 
 "You don't."
 
 
 
 Hannibal took the bottle from Murdock. "How does this work?"
 
 
 
 "You give it to him, and in about 30 minutes he will be fine."
 
 
 
 "BA, watch those two. Murdock, come with me."
 
 
 
 As they were walking back to the van, Hannibal cleared his voice
 before he spoke. "Murdock, I think you shouldn't tell Face what he
 did."
 
 
 
 "Hannibal. What if he asks me?"
 
 
 
 "I doubt if he will even remember, but if he does then the choice is
 yours - just think about it."
 
 
 
 Murdock nodded his head. Once they were back with Face, Hannibal
 raised his head to give him the antidote.
 
 
 
 "Hannibal?"
 
 
 
 "Don't worry Murdock I'm not going to give this to Face till we check
 it out. You stay with Face while I get the others."
 
 
 
 Hannibal got up while Murdock took his place by Face who was now
 asleep.
 
 
 
 "You're going to be fine Face."
 
 
 
 Murdock watched as they all climbed back inside except Hannibal, and
 BA, who was again driving the van.
 
 
 
 "We need to get to ma van Hannibal."
 
 
 
 "I know BA but we got to make sure we don't run into Decker as well."
 
 
 
 "Hannibal please."
 
 
 
 "Sorry BA."
 
 
 
 BA only growled. Hannibal smiled and pinched his cheek. "You know BA,
 I love it when you growl."
 
 
 
 "Why were you letting Face kiss you?"
 
 
 
 "He thought I was Murdock, there was nothing more to it."
 
 
 
 BA nodded .He then spotted his van. He parked the other van by it and
 got out of the prison van. "Hannibal, go get the others and let's get
 Face some help."
 
 
 
 
 **********************************************************************
 *******************
 
 
 
 The black van pulled into the emergency parking lot. BA got out and
 ran around to Face. "Let me have him Murdock."
 
 
 
 Murdock nodded his head as BA took Face and went inside with him. A
 gurney was taken right to him. "What happened?" asked a nurse.
 
 
 
 "He's been given some kind of a drug." Hannibal told her.
 
 
 
 "Quickly get him to room 3. We need to take a blood test to see what
 kind of a drug was taken."
 
 
 
 "Not taken." Murdock said sternly, "given ."
 
 
 
 "Yes, of course, given." The nurse said.
 
 
 
 Hannibal reached into his pocket and gave her a bottle. "This may or
 may not be the antidote . I didn't want to give it to him until I was
 sure."
 
 
 
 The nurse took it without another word.
 
 
 
 A few hours later a doctor came out to them. "Your friend is going to
 be fine. It was a good thing you had that antidote or he would've
 died."
 
 
 
 "It was that bad?" Murdock asked.
 
 
 
 "Oh yes. This drug first makes you sleep, then you become like you're
 drunk, then you sleep again. Without the antidote, you die."
 
 
 
 "Thank you Doctor. May we see him?" Hannibal asked.
 
 
 
 "Only for a minute, then he needs to rest."  

Hannibal turned to Murdock. "Murdock, you go in and see Face,
 tell
 him we'll see him later. BA and I have got some guys to put to
 bed."
 
 BA shook his fist. "I'll put them to bed all right. I'll tuck
 them in
 so tight, it'll be years before they see the light of day."
 
 Murdock slowly entered the room. He looked around before
 looking
 towards Face. He noticed that Face was awake but looked pale.
 He
 swallowed and walked over to his lover.
 
 "Hey. Face."
 
 Face gave Murdock a weak smile and spoke in a low voice. "Hey
 Murdock."
 
 Murdock pulled up a chair and took Face's hand. "I'm so glad
 you're
 okay. "
 
 Face nodded his head, "Murdock?"
 
 "What Face?"
 
 "The only thing that helped me, was that whenever I could
 sleep; I
 always dreamt of you. The last dream felt so real."
 
 Murdock squeezed Face's hand, but said nothing.
 
 Face gave a small smile and went on, "I was kissing you and
 called
 you by your pet name."
 
 "Face. Did we have sex?"
 
 Face shook his head "No. I was just kissing you. I was so happy
 you
 were there."
 
 Murdock shook his head to keep the tears from falling.
 
 "Murdock?"
 
 "Yes my love?"
 
 "Shut-up and kiss me for real."
 
 Murdock closed the curtain and leaned down towards Face. They
 began
 to kiss.

 As Hannibal and BA were coming out of the hospital, they saw
 Simon
 Masters waiting for them.
 
 "So how's your friend going to be?"
 
 "He's going to be fine, Sheriff. Are Jim and his niece Suzy
 still
 waiting in your office?" Hannibal asked.
 
 "Yeah. Do you mind telling me what's going on?"
 
 "You hired us to find proof that Miller had something to do
 with
 Chances' death; and that's what we're doing," Hannibal answered
 as he
 lit his cigar.
 
 Masters nodded, "Yeah. they're waiting in my office. That girl
 is
 really something."
 
 "Yeah," Hannibal replied, "but she's young and can change."
 
 The sheriff got into his car, while Hannibal and BA followed in
 the
 van.
 
 Suzy was pacing back and forth, like a wild animal trapped in a
 cage
 too small, as Jim watched sympathetically.
 
 "Suzy gal, will you stop all ready? You're going to put a hole
 in the
 sheriff's floor."
 
 Suzy raised her hands in the air and faced her uncle; her eyes
 had a
 blaze in them that would frighten any grown man, except her
 uncle
 Jim.
 
 "Stop it! You want me to stop pacing! We're in the hoot gal and
 you
 want me to stop! Grandpapa and my papa ain't going to like
 this!
 We're with their enemies!"
 
 Jim quickly got up and grabbed his niece and pinned her arms
 down. "Listen to yourself Suzy!, Sheriff Masters and these guys
 aren't the enemy." He took a deep breath, then held her at arms
 length so that he could look in her eyes. "Now you need to stop
 acting like a spoiled brat and start acting like the woman you
 are."
 
 "He's giving you good advice Little Mama."
 
 Suzy pulled away from her uncle and rushed at BA. "Don't called
 me
 that! I ain't your mama and I never will be a mama!"
 
 Suddenly Suzy started crying, BA pulled her against his chest
 and
 stoke her hair. "It's okay I'm sorry."
 
 Suzy pulled away. "It's okay. You didn't know."
 
 Hannibal waited to make sure the girl was okay before turning
 to
 Jim. "So is there another way into that tunnel?"
 
 Jim shook his head. "If there is, I don't know about it."
 
 "I know another way in and I will take you there-- if you
 promise no
 harm will come to my family." Suzy said.
 
 Masters went over to her. "Suzy, I promise I'll do my best."
 
 She nodded "Then come on."
 
 Hannibal turned to BA, "Go with them. I'm going to check on
 Murdock
 and Face."
 
 BA nodded and followed the rest out.

 Murdock 's tongue was reaching into Face's mouth when the nurse
 pulled back the curtain. "What is going on here?"
 
 Murdock looked up at her. "I'm giving this patient some tender
 loving
 care."
 
 "Get off of that man this instant! This is a hospital, not a
 cheap
 motel!"
 
 Face was now looking at the enraged nurse. "Please I would
 never
 bring my love to a cheap motel."
 
 The nurse slapped Murdock on his rump. "Get off I said."
 
 Murdock quickly got off. She then looked at Face. "The doctor
 will be
 in to see you."
 
 Murdock waited for her to leave, and then looked at Face. "Did
 you see?
 that?'
 
 "Yeah, she slapped you on your rear. You must've been a bad
 boy."
 
 Face and Murdock started laughing.
 
 "Well I see you are much better." The doctor said as he came
 into the
 room.
 
 "I feel fine."
 
 "Well the drug is out of your system and all of your blood
 tests came
 back normal. If you're up to it, I can discharge you."
 
 Face looked at Murdock and mouthed "Drug?"
 
 Murdock mouthed back, "I'll tell you later."
 
 Face nodded and looks back at the doctor. "I'm up to it. I want
 out"
 
 "Good. I'll have the papers ready now. I figured as much. The
 nurse
 will be back to help and, please guys, don't get her riled
 again."
 
 "We'll try not to," Murdock replied.
 
 After the doctor left, Face turned to Murdock. "This drug. Did
 it
 almost kill me?"
 
 Murdock nodded.
 
 "Did this drug make me see things?"
 
 Again Murdock nodded.
 
 Face turned away. "Then it wasn't a dream. I was really kissing
 someone. Was it you I was kissing?' Face turned back to see
 Murdock
 shake his head no.
 
 "Then who was it?"
 
 Murdock swallowed and said in a small voice. "Hannibal"  

Face nodded his head then walked to the closet and took out his
 clothes. "We better get ready to leave."
 
 
 
 Murdock placed his arm around Face and gently kissed him on his
 neck."You okay?"
 
 
 
 Face turn around and gave Murdock a kiss. Neither one noticed
 Hannibal and the nurse as they entered the room.
 
 
 
 "I see you are feeling better. Here are your release papers. The
 doctor signed them." The nurse said as she gave the papers to Face,
 she then left.
 
 
 
 Face smiled at her as he took them. Murdock thanked her as he wheeled
 Face out of the room. He froze as he saw Decker talking to the nurse
 at the desk and saw her point towards Face's room. He quickly turned
 back into the room.
 
 
 
 "Decker " Face whispered to Hannibal.
 
 
 
 Decker and Crane headed for the room the nurse pointed to. When they
 entered, all they saw was a woman folding the corners of the bed
 sheets. Decker looked at the woman then back at Crane ."See if she
 knows anything, I'll see if the A-Team didn't try to get away."
 
 
 
 Crane nodded and went over to her and showed her a picture of the A-
 team. "Have you seen these men?"
 
 
 
 "Bean? Wheres a bean?" she asked.
 
 
 
 "No. Have you seen these men?" Crane asked again.
 
 
 
 The woman took the picture and placed it real close to her
 eyes. "Nice picture. This one," the woman pointed to Face, "reminds
 me of my grandson Dusty. Did I ever tell you what Dusty did the other
 day?"
 
 
 
 Crane shook his head. "No, but I really ..."
 
 
 
 The woman place her arms around Crane. "Then let me tell you. Well
 Dusty, he decided that he wanted to grow gumdrops .."
 
 
 
 Crane pulled away and hurried to catch up with Decker.
 
 
 
 Decker was standing outside looking around for the A-Team, "was that
 woman any help?"
 
 
 
 Crane shook his head," not one bit, all she wanted to do is talk
 about her grandson Dusty. Boy what a talker?"
 
 
 
 Decker and Crane stared at each other and both said "Smith" at the
 same time.
 
 
 
 As they both ran out of the hospital, they were just in time to see
 the black van disappear down the road, the woman grinning at them
 from the driver's seat.
 
 
 
 "Go! Go!" ordered Decker. They all headed for their cars, only to
 find that all the tires were flat. Decker threw down his cap in
 disgust.
 
 
 
 Face was sitting in the back of the van."Hannibal, why do you always
 like to play with Decker? One day it's going to get us caught."
 
 
 
 "Come on Face, where's your love of adventure?"
 
 
 
 "I left it in 'Nam" Face answered. Murdock took Face's hand and
 squeezed it gently. Face gave him a smile.
 
 
 
 Hannibal drove for a while when he suddenly spotted BA on the road.
 He stopped the van and BA opened the driver side door. "Move over,
 I'm driving." He growled while Hannibal moved over and then BA got
 in.
 
 
 
 "Lil Suzy took us to another way in the tunnel, not sure if Face is
 going to like it" BA said quietly.
 
 
 
 Face stared at BA. "I've been shot at, kidnapped, drugged, and I
 kissed Hannibal instead of Murdock. So nothing you show me is going
 to upset me BA."
 
 
 
 They were now standing by a hole in the mountain side and Face was
 staring at it. Suzy looked at him. "What's wrong? Ain't you ever seen
 a hole in the mountain?
 
 
 
 "Too many times" Face replied.
 
 
 
 "Well it's the only other way in so are you coming or not." Suzy said
 as she climbed into the hole and disappeared from their sight.
 
 
 
 Murdock placed his hand on Face, knowing his lover had a fear of
 holes in the mountains due to a cave in during 'Nam. Face took a
 deep breath before turning around and giving Murdock a deep
 kiss. "For luck!" he said. Suzy disappeared earlier from their sight,
 and soon the others could be heard following them down the tunnel.
 
 
 
 Once in the tunnel Murdock began to look around and spotted an old
 truck that was probably used during the war. "Hey guys take a look at
 this."
 
 
 
 The others came over and Murdock proudly showed them the
 truck. "Isn't it nice that they left this for us?"
 
 
 
 Hannibal smiled at the truck and looked at BA" Well, can you do
 something with it?"
 
 
 
 BA walked around the truck shaking his head. "I suppose I could shoot
 it and put it out of it's misery."
 
 
 
 "Come on BA, if anyone can make this truck a fun thing to play with
 you can." said Hannibal.
 
 
 
 'Even if I could, how would we get it to go? The gas tank is empty."
 
 
 
 Suzy walked over to something covered with a canopy. After she took
 it off, revealing gasoline cans. "Will these do?"
 
 
 
 Hannibal smiled, "Okay let's get to work."
 
 
 
 ( A song from the 80's is playing in the background as the team is
 making the truck ready for action)
 
 
 
 BA is welding pieces together, Face and Murdock are carrying two long
 pipes and attaching them to the front of the truck like launchers,
 and Hannibal is screwing in metal pieces to the truck to protect it
 and them. As this is going on Simon Master, Jim and Suzy Miller are
 watching.
 
 
 
 Once it was finished, they all stood back and admired their good
 work. "Now we need something to fire from the launcher," Hannibal
 remarked.
 
 
 
 "Will tomatoes do?" Suzy asked. "They won't hurt my family."
 
 
 
 Hannibal nodded his head and Suzy showed him a crate of tomatoes
 covered up. "I like to bring tomatoes in here and eat them."
 
 
 
 No one said anything as Face and Murdock began to load them into the
 launcher. Now that they were ready, they quickly climbed in and BA
 headed down towards the main tunnel with Jim giving directions.
 
 
 
 **********************************************************************
 ******************************
 
 
 
 Russell Miller and three of his sons were just finishing up when they
 heard the sound of an engine heading their way. "Go see what that is
 Luke" he ordered.
 
 
 
 Luke quickly went to look and came back almost as quickly, "Pa. It
 looks like a truck of some kind."
 
 
 
 Russell pushed past Luke and stood, staring at the truck. It was the
 strangest thing he had ever seen. It looked like one of those army
 trucks during the war, except it had two long pipes connected to the
 front of it and covered in some kind of metal armor. The door opened
 up and there, leaning out of it, was Smith grinning at him like the
 cat who swallowed the canary.
 
 
 
 "We're going to give you a chance to give yourself up to the Sheriff."
 
 
 
 "For what Smith?" Miller asked .
 
 
 
 "For the death of Jim Chance."
 
 
 
 "Here's my answer to that Smith." Russell drew his gun and fired. He
 missed as Hannibal quickly closed the door. "Let's go BA! Murdock,
 Face prepare the launchers!"
 
 
 
 Russell and his son fired at the truck as it moved towards them. Face
 loaded the tomatoes into the launcher and Murdock fired at the
 Millers. One hit Skeeter full in the chest, knocking him on his back.
 When he tried to get up, he slipped on the tomatoes, and fell back
 down on the ground. The ground became so slippery from all the
 tomatoes that they couldn't get their footing. Soon it was over and
 all four of them lay on the ground, covered in tomatoes.
 
 
 
 Simon Masters got out of the truck and walked over to Russel
 Miller. "Miller, you and your sons are under arrest for the murder of
 James Chance."
 
 
 
 Russell looked up at Simon, "Screw you Masters. You got nothing on
 us."
 
 
 
 "Yes he does Father. I told him everything." Jim said as he stared
 down at his father.
 
 
 
 Miller stared back at his son. "You always were like your ma, a
 trader. You're no longer my son. Get out of my sight!"
 
 
 
 "Grandpa! How can you say that to your own son?"
 
 
 
 "What are you doing here girl?"
 
 
 
 "I had to help. You killed a man. I love you, but that was wrong."
 
 
 
 Miller only shook his head. Suzy started towards him.
 
 
 
 "Stay away girl. I don't love traders and you're a trader."
 
 
 
 Suzy looked towards her father who only looked away . Then she turned
 to her uncle Jim, and he held her as she cried.
 
 
 
 Simon got on his walkies talkie and called in to his office for some
 backup.
 
 
 
 "I want to thank you for your help. My men will be in soon, so I
 think it's best that you leave."
 
 
 
 Face pointed to Jim and Suzy. "What's going to happen to them?"
 
 
 
 "Well Jim will have to stand trial for his involvement with the death
 of James Chance. As for Suzy, if she wants to, she can stay with me
 and Dawn after we get married. Dawn always has cared for her."
 
 
 
 BA smiled at Suzy. "How does that sound to you Suzy Q?"
 
 
 
 "That sounds good to me." Suzy said as she wiped a tear away.
 
 
 
 "Hey guys, let's go. We got to get out of here, I heard sirens "
 Murdock said as he stuck his head out of the truck's window.
 
 
 
 They all got in and drove out of the tunnel. BA headed for his van,
 and once they got there, they got in, and drove away. As they turned
 on the highway, they heard and saw the military cars.
 
 
 
 "Hold on BA I need to slow Decker down." Hannibal said as he took his
 gun and leaned out of the window, aimed at the tires, and fired. It
 was a direct hit - sending the car in a spin which cause the second
 car to hit it, tipping it over. Decker climbed out of the window and
 stared as the A-Team's van vanished down the hill. He shook his
 fist,"Next time Smith!"
 
 
 
 "Hannibal. One of these days ,"
 
 
 
 "Face, I was careful. Now do you need to say something to me about
 the fact you kissed me, thinking I was Murdock?"
 
 
 
 Face looked at Hannibal, then took Murdock's hand. "I kissed you?
 Hannibal? Gee if I did, I must have blocked it from my memory. I have
 no idea what you're talking about."
 
 
 
 Hannibal nodded as he turned back towards the front. He knew Face
 remembered, but was glad he was letting it go.
 
 
 
 "Hey Hannibal, can you drop me and Murdock off at a motel? We got
 things to do." Face asked as he gave Murdock an 'I want you badly'
 look.
 
 
 
 "You got it Face. BA let's take the loved birds to a nice motel.:"
 
 
 
 BA growl but his face was smiling.
 
 
 
 ********
 
 
 
 BA drove up in front of a Motel 6, Face and Murdock got out and,
 after saying goodbye, they headed for the office.
 
 
 
 "Murdock?"
 
 
 
 "Yeah Facey?"
 
 
 
 "Would you give me a few minutes after we get our room before you
 come in?"
 
 
 
 Murdock thought this was a strange request, but, knowing Face, he
 nodded his head. Face reached over and gave him a kiss, then went
 inside the office. He soon came back out. "I got us a room. I want to
 make it special for us. Please wait in the office lounge for about 15
 minutes then come on in, here your key."
 
 
 
 Murdock again nodded and took the key. He went into the office
 lounge.
 
 
 
 Face unlocked the Room 5 and walked in, looked around, and began his
 project. He started whistling while he did it.
 
 
 
 Murdock watched the clock on the wall; every minute seemed like it
 would never change but it was now 15 minutes later. He headed out of
 the office toward Room 5. He knocked on the door, but there was no
 answer. His thoughts started to run away with him, was Face okay? Did
 someone have him? Why didn't he answer? Murdock quickly opened the
 door and stepped inside the dark room. He reached for the light
 switch, when he heard a very sexy voice saying, "Leave the light off
 and come to the center of the room."
 
 
 
 "Face, where are you?" Murdock asked, knowing the sexy voice was Face.
 
 
 
 "Come to the center of the room."
 
 
 
 "How? I can't see anything in here."
 
 
 
 "Listen to the sound of my voice."
 
 
 
 "Okay, but this better be worth it."
 
 
 
 "I can promise you it will be. Now you are a few feet from the door.
 Count 4 steps forward."
 
 
 
 "Mother may I ?" Murdock asked with a giggle.
 
 
 
 "Yes you may." Face answered back. "Now you need to turn to your
 right and come 5 steps"
 
 
 
 "Mother may I?"
 
 
 
 "Yes, okay now Murdock - spread out your arms"
 
 
 
 Murdock spread out his arm wide and felt Face slip into them. "I love
 playing "Mother May I" with you Face, but why?"
 
 
 
 'So that you know you can always trust me Murdock, no matter what."
 
 
 
 "I do Face - always." Murdock said as he captured Face into a kiss.
 
 
 
 They both went down on the floor kissing as they went not caring
 about the dark. Murdock didn't even wonder how Face saw him in the
 dark; he always figured that his lover had cat's eyes.
 
 
 
 "Face?"
 
 
 
 "Mmmm?"
 
 
 
 "Do you still have that Mae West and WC Fields get up?"
 
 
 
 "No, I borrowed it. Why?"
 
 
 
 "No matter I like you better as Face anyway. Is there a bed?"
 
 
 
 "Yeah."
 
 
 
 "Can we go there? I want to make love to you and this floor is just
 not doing it for me."
 
 
 
 Face took Murdock and they both got up. He lead him into the bedroom.
 There, he turned the light on, and Murdock saw that he had covered
 the bed with roses, red roses. Murdock was about to tell Face how
 nice it looked, but, before he could, Face was removing his clothes
 from him. Murdock quickly followed and soon they both stood there
 naked in front of each other. They began kissing and soon they were
 both on the bed. Face quickly took command . He kissed Murdock, his
 tongue wanting to absorb every piece of Murdock, his tongue went in
 deeper . Murdock moaned as his lover went in deep.
 
 
 
 Face grabbed Murdock's buttocks and squeezed it tight; sending
 shivers up his lover's spine.
 
 
 
 "Holy cow Face."
 
 
 
 "I want to make you happy Murdock. May I enter into you so together
 we can find enchanting bliss?"
 
 
 
 "Yes . Oh God yes! I want you!"
 
 
 
 Face took out the lotion he had, put some on his finger, then rubbed
 it in Murdock. Slowly, he entered Murdock and as he did Murdock
 gasped.
 
 
 
 "Am I hurting you my love?"
 
 
 
 "No! Don't stop!" Murdock gasped again.
 
 
 
 Face rode Murdock. Murdock felt like he had died and gone to Heaven.
 Soon he felt Face explode inside of him; both men were sweating and
 breathing hard.
 
 
 
 "That was so unbelievable Face."
 
 
 
 "I know. Murdock, I could do this all night."
 
 
 
 'Give me time to catch my breath darlin'. I'm not as young as you
 are."
 
 
 
 "Murdock! I want you inside of me now, give me part of you to
 treasure forever."
 
 
 
 Murdock entered Face with ecstasy, filling Face with all he had. Face
 moaned and arched his back for Murdock to give him more. Murdock
 grabbed Face's hips to hold on and he went to town.
 
 
 
 "More Murdock! I want more! "
 
 
 
 Murdock gave Face more, and beyond, until 10 minutes later they both
 reached a climax and Murdock collapsed on top of Face. They both
 went to sleep.
 
 ------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 When morning came, Murdock opened his eyes to see Face still sleeping
 under him. He kissed the nape of Face's neck. Face smiled.
 
 
 
 "Morning Sweetheart." Murdock said as he started to get off of Face.
 
 
 
 "Why are you leaving? I'm comfortable."
 
 
 
 "To fix breakfast before Hannibal and BA come and get us."
 
 
 
 "Hmm breakfast sounds nice. Get back in bed so I can eat you up."
 
 
 
 "I mean FOOD Face."
 
 
 
 "Nuts to food, it can't give me what you can."
 
 
 
 "Yeah, I know, but we need to eat. Are eggs okay with you?"
 
 
 
 "Anything you make is okay with me."
 
 
 
 As they were finishing their breakfast, they heard a bang on the
 door. "Come on you two! Fun time is over - Decker is in the area and
 we got to go." They both heard Hannibal say and quickly stole a kiss.
 They went to the door and jumped into the van as BA drove away.
 Murdock and Face were happy in each other arms.
 
 
 
 The End
