Hello!
Here I am French but I suggested rewrite my early fiction in English when I am again with this attempt.
There will probably many error languages so if someone wants to correct please let me know by PM.
Thank you for reading me and tell me what you think.
Summary: It had taken so long to forget his past, but thanks to those around him, he had arrived. But his memories haunt him again after reviewing those that would rather never see again. No longer control his feelings, fatigue sets. Becoming more irritable, he distanced himself from the team until he leads his own mission to rescue another orphan.
The famous black van, dressed in his red line, spun on the desert road and winding as the sky turned orange with the sun setting slowly behind the rock.
Inside, as famous as their vehicle, the A-team in full, relaxed, began to tire despite this entire long journey.
But while one of the members could no longer antics from behind his back made by his companion, the latter began to find driving long and boring as a child eager to reach their destination, and that next door, arms crossed, had stopped talking to get it to show his displeasure of their destination, the leader of this team, sitting in his usual spot on the passenger side, chewing a cigar out, felt good.
Colonel John 'Hannibal' Smith, looked barren landscape, enjoying being together with his team.
- Hannibal, let him be silent or I swear I supported with my fists, threatened the driver, Sergeant Bosco 'BA' Baracus.
- And now, immediately threatened, began to defend Captain HM Murdock. Why so much hate my big men? I explained only the theory of evolution. We always wonder if it is the chicken or the egg that came first. But why we do not ask if the puppy or dog that came first. It is true; imagine that Billy feels about this denial that the world owes her race. And in my opinion. . .
- I do not want to know your opinion crazy, but if you continued, you will quickly reach your ancestors and your dog also invisible, so you can ask them.
- Hannibal, you mean, he wants to kill Billy. Billy comes soon buddy.
Murdock patted his knee and pretended to make a big hug to his dog and began stroking in a vacuum, where was supposed to be his dog.
- Do not worry Billy, the Colonel will not let the big guy hurt you.
- Who are you big fool?
Murdock leaned back in his seat, trying to make the smallest possible having seen the glare that threw BA in the mirror.
- Pull over to the next town BA, we rent rooms and eat. It must be fit for tomorrow, is it not my Lieutenant?
Hannibal looked straight before him with a smile from the start perch to his second in command, Lieutenant Templeton 'Faceman' Peck, knowing full well it will bite and that's what he did.
- Oh Hannibal, frankly, for once we could have a vacation, holiday, no, we have to go to practice. We do not train enough with all the missions we have all the time?
- We found her tongue at what I see.
Hannibal exchanged a look with this BA willing accomplice, but he shook his head negatively not wanting to take sides between the two, but also by the desperate smile has its commander being funny to smoke Face.
- Oh, very funny. You know what I have to do to get this combo in Beverly Hills, not to mention the fact that I had to cancel Vanessa.
The lieutenant sighed, relaxing in his seat while intertwining his fingers on his lower abdomen, thinking back to it.
- Oh Vanessa, she works in a lingerie store, he said dreamily.
- And I bet it would make you a parade of the new collection in private.
- Well it must keep abreast of the latest fashions.
- Me, I'm happy to go lead me sir and it will be good for Billy and more. This lack of exercise. A VA is not even he can chew tires for a little more.
- Uh-oh Murdock, it is better that you prevented your dog to damage the obstacle course. Someone could get hurt.
- Yes sir.
- Do not encourage Hannibal, BA said annoyed as he slows the van arrived in a small dusty town.
He parked next to the only motel in sight and all the little world down while stretching their members become numbed by being made in the same position for several hours.
- Face, Murdock and you will book rooms, and join us at the restaurant opposite.
Face nodded in agreement and motioned to follow while Murdock. BA and Hannibal crossed the road to get into a restaurant style road.
Entering several eyes turned to his two foreigners who make the frown grimace has BA but brought out all the insurance Hannibal.
They settled, one facing the other, at the last table at the back of the room near the window, so that BA continues to have an eye on his van and Hannibal can verify the door. Simple precautionary measures to be ready for any kind of problem.
A waitress, a fifty year came under the gaze of men installed four at the counter sipping beers.
She took out her pen behind the ear, and it is commonly chewed chewing gum she stopped at their table.
- Are you?
BA and Hannibal exchanged a quick glance to this woman who did not hide his contempt for them.
It is then simply and without bluster Hannibal spent his command, as well as that of Face and Murdock, and was then the turn of BA, when the doorbell began to ring. Murdock and Face entered turn in the restaurant.
They immediately noticed the tension in the room and walked in single file in silence to the place of their colleagues. But a man down from his stool when they crossed the aisle and should return in full whip in Face thus reversing the mug filled with beer that was men on Face
Dissatisfied, the man grabbed by the collar Face, lifting slightly off the ground, and immediately rose Hannibal and BA, without moving, but ready to take action if necessary.
- You cannot be careful you fool, the man growled.
- Well done to my point of view it is rather. . . but Face did not continue his sentence.
Their position, others thought it was because of the man's grip tightening around his neck that silenced him, but the truth was quite different. Facelooked straight into the eyes of his assailant angry man but also recognizing that the look and it froze.
- You'll excuse kind of snotty little and pay me another beer, you hear.
And there, under the astonished eyes of his companions, Face nodded a simple nod instead to assert his right while pushing the other man's fault, mocking him as he would have the habit of do.
The man went down to his feet and then dropped him to lend a hand waiting for a ticket. Face looked down at the ground as he looked into the inside pocket of his jacket his wallet and pulled out a twenty dollar bill that man snatched from his hand before adding with a smile.
- I do not have money, do you want it?
- No. I'm sorry.
The man laughed and made his way with his shoulder knocking Face passage before left the restaurant.
Hannibal and BA sat down again still surprised by the reaction while at the same timeFace latter put his wallet in his jacket before Murdoch put his arm around her shoulders.
- Come on Buddy !
And together they joined the other two.
The waitress smiled Face enticing to the crossing but as soon as he saw her, recognized also. He dodged and then sat next to BA making back to the room and the desk but especially for the comfort he received soon to be next to his colleague on guard by his build.
Feeling the eyes of her commander, a look at the least suspicious of him, he tried to lift his head displaying a look embarrassed.
- Nice and friendly small town more.
- Are you okay? then asked Hannibal still not sure how to interpret the reaction of his second in command.
- Well apart from that I almost make me redo the portrait as a welcome, and I stink of beer, okay, he replied in a tone so sarcastic wanting to end with a smile, but deep him, a fear that was installed. Trying to hide it, he rose arguing the mess on his shirt and walked at a brisk pace to the bathroom, arms stretched along her body, clenched fists, trying to contain his emotions.
However, this position did not escape Hannibal, who lit his cigar to think.
- Oh Hannibal you're not smoking that stuff eating?! Complained Sergeant
- In your opinion, what was that? Asked the Colonel, ignoring the comment BA.
- What do you mean?
- Oh, do not tell me you did not notice? Face is completely down to this guy!
- You worry for nothing Hannibal. He wanted to spoil her beautiful face, that's all.
- He's right, the big guy, Colonel. Ruined a shirt and a black eye, it would be too much for him, and I should give him a place in my room at the VA, added Captain
Hannibal lit his cigar and sat back in the corner of his mouth, thinking that his men had said and turned his head toward the closed door of the men's room trying to gather his thoughts while convincing that this was it.
On the other side of the door, Face rubbed his shirt tirelessly with paper towels. He rubbed and rubbed even if it was not used much. Then it's out of breath, he stopped dropping his last towel on the floor while closing his eyes.
He opened them and looked in the mirror talking to himself silently.
"Why did you react like that? You have more than seven years; you're a man, a green beret, not a damn kid. '
He contracted the jaw repeatedly hearing his own tirade get in his head and suddenly, fueled by anger at himself for having reacted, or rather did not react, sending his right fist into the wall in front of him next to the mirror, rage.
But it was power, a sharp pain extending along his arm was felt. He immediately hugged his hand with the other, wincing in pain. He looked at his bloody hand and gently tried to move his fingers, but it only made him send another wave of further pain. So he opened the tap and the sink is a trembling hand and laid it under running cold water.
A man came to this point, and so did mine to wash their hands. The man paid no more attention to it when he stood before the urinal behind him.
Face stopped and dried gently taps his right hand now swollen and toilet finally emerged much calmer, being worried about the damage it could have caused his hand. And that's bent arm, hand against him as if to protect, he returned to the restaurant.
Off, he locked eyes with Hannibal, and he wondered if he had remained focused on the toilet all the time went? Surely he says this and this reassured him time. He even decided to swallow his pride for once and just tell him when they are alone.
And is trying to gather his thoughts in order to find the best way to tell her the truth that Colonel began to trample small steps to reach the room. But the waitress, leaving behind the counter with the food, stopped at its height, forcing Face to stop hiding the view of Hannibal's Lieutenant.
- I'm sorry for the reaction of Sam earlier. This is my husband, and sometimes it is a little exce. . .
She stopped in his sentence, frowning while lowering his head slightly to look for Face who had looked down at the sight once more.
Seeing what she did, he looked trying to appear neutral as she sounded.
- We would not have seen? she asked.
"Shit," he thought, "Should I take? Should I make him remember who I am? Oh and why do it, it will not change anything anyway then we hit the road tomorrow and will be away from me again "
- No, I do not think Mrs.
- Are you sure?, She insisted.
- This is the first time I come here, he tried then.
- Not there, somewhere else. Your eyes, those eyes. . . oh excuse me, she said as embarrassed to have underlined.
And that's without asking for his she turned, shaken by a flash she had had, placed the dishes and returned behind the counter trying to hide in what she thought, but it was more difficult than it looked.
But this exchange, once again disrupted Face. He sat in his place leaving his hand against him, and hid under the table having changed his mind to say anything to anyone eventually. He smiled shyly squirming slightly not really comfortable with the look stubbornly pointed at him Hannibal.
Face then cast an eye on his side, where BA leaning on his plate greedily swallowed his food that made him a grimace of disgust at the sight and turned his attention to Murdock in front of him that sounded like a plane with its while the range by flying with food before swallowing. And while chewing he grinned friendly to Face who returned immediately relaxed slightly at the sight of his two best friends stayed themselves before making grimace again seeing his full plate having completely lost my appetite after that all memories are bad but reappeared in asking as he was eating with his hand. And it is obscuring the world around him, staring at his plate; he began to rethink his childhood before being pulled from his reverie by the voice of his impatient Colonel.
- Face, I asked you something?
The lieutenant raised his head, swallowing his saliva hardly surprised not to have heard apparently the first time and a rather neutral
- Excuse me Hannibal, did you say?
- You sure you okay?
- Yeah, yeah, just think.
- I asked you if you had recognized the woman?
Surprised by this question, Face was in shock for a second.
"How can he know? Nobody knows who they are? "He asked it before realizing Hannibal thought surely their position of the fugitive.
- Uh no, then yeah, at least I think, I, I do not know, am not sure.
BA and Murdock, surprised by the hesitation and stuttering their friend rather serene usual in all circumstances, feel suddenly concerned and straighten their head on their plate to listen more attentively to the conversation trying to turn assess the situation affecting the crook of the team struggling to defraud anyone right now.
- What you do not know it? asked Hannibal became suspicious. What did she say exactly?
- Oh, not much. She believed me recognize my eyes. He added quickly
Face swallowed hard once again not wanting to lie to her friends, but is not ready either for great revelations. And all those eyes on him, made him put his left hand to his neck in the hope of loosening his tie, tie he had not. He smiled in confusion, then intensified his gaze Hannibal seeing the total loss of control of his Lieutenant.
- You know what Hannibal, I think I'll go to the bedroom. I. . . I do not like what I feel. I'll go take a shower.
- You do not eat Muchacho, Murdock asked puzzled.
- The fool is right guy to drive tomorrow I do not wanna pick up the spoon l'ttle because you will not have force, said in a sullen tone BA wanting to hide a concern that felt towards his little brother.
Seeing the face of embarrassment Face, Hannibal saved the day by taking speech.
- Go Face. We will take
The lieutenant thanked him with a simple nod and left the table without a word. He walked towards the exit while trying to keep your head high knowing that the other members of the team followed the gaze. He also doubted that the waitress looked but paid no attention wanting to overshadow the more quickly this place.
And he was right, until he left the restaurant, Hannibal, Murdock, and BA remained staring at him, but when the door closed on the Lieutenant, they returned to their base except Hannibal beckoned the waitress for her to come. But she remained in his thoughts, to know where she had seen this man before, until a nudge in his arm from the cook him back to reality and walked to the table of A-team.
- Could you wrap the contents of the plate please our friend's absence.
- Of course.
She should take the plate and went to leave when she suddenly turned on Hannibal.
- Your friend, he called Alvin?
- No, Mrs!
- I had mistaken then. I bring you the notes and boxes with food.
And this time returned, leaving three men in the most total blur.
- I prepare the van Hannibal?, BA asked not sure what is behind this situation.
- No, we stay for the night.
- But if she calls the military, this time replied Murdock also worried.
- He's right, the wacky, I can drive a few more hours and we stop on the road to sleep in the van.
- I would tell Billy not barking this time, Murdock says to relax his comrades but all he had was a grunt in return from BA, so he did his best smile instead.
Hannibal let out a cloud of smoke up and looked through the window at the motel on the other side of the road thinking.
- Met the van behind the hotel BA, ready to escape ladder, it is, we all need a good night's sleep in a real bed.
And once again BA and Murdock glanced hoping that their Colonel has a plan to get their brother out of his shell and bounded stubborn when it comes to him and how he feels.
?TBC or NOT?
