Dr. Richter sat at his desk, looking through various patients' files. He had to smile as he looked at Captain Murdock's file. Some days he swore that the pilot was insane. Other days he swore that the insanity was all an act. Either way, he was a fascinating case.
Dr. Richter jumped as the door to his office slammed open. An army colonel walked in and held out a paper. "Please confirm that this is your signature."
Dr. Richter took the paper. "No, that's not my signature."
"What proof do you have that this is not your signature? Several of the staff verify that this is your signature."
"The only proof I have is a lifetime of writing my own name. That is not mine."
The colonel took the paper back. "Doctor, until the investigation is complete, you are relieved of your duties at this hospital."
"What?! What investigation?"
"You are suspected of using your position to attain prescription drugs to sell for profit. According to this document and many others like it, you are prescribing unneeded medication to various patients, and most likely selling the drugs."
"That's ridiculous! Besides, I can't leave. I have responsibilities here."
The colonel stood to the side as another man stepped in the room. "This is Dr. Henry. He will be taking your position, pending the outcome of the investigation."
Dr. Richter glared at the other doctor. Silently he picked up a few personal items from his desk and grabbed his briefcase. "You had bettered take good care of these patients, Doctor," he spat.
After Dr. Richter left the office, the colonel spoke, "Are you certain you can handle your assignment?"
"I can handle it just fine, Decker. I want that pardon."
"That's Colonel Decker to you, Henry. You make sure you do the job right and I'll make sure you get that pardon. Are we clear on the methods of obtaining the information?"
Dr. Henry pulled a vial out of his coat pocket. "When you handed me an unauthorized drug that has been deemed dangerous for humans, you made it perfectly clear what methods I am to take."
"That drug is a last resort, but I believe you will need it. Captain Murdock never talks about the A-Team, even though they visit him often. I've even begun to suspect that he joins the A-Team whenever he escapes."
Dr. Henry looked surprised. "How often does he escape?"
"Sometimes several times a month. And sometimes it's months between escapes. Just keep an eye on him and expect the unexpected." Decker leaned forward and looked Henry in the eye. "I expect a report within the week. If you are unable to 'make friends' with Murdock, I want you to use any means necessary to find out what he knows about the A-Team, is that clear?"
Henry rolled his eyes. "How many times are you going to repeat the same instructions? I've got it. You'll have your report. Don't get your medals in a knot."
Decker glared at the doctor, then left the room. Henry sat down at the desk and sighed. "I'm mean, after all, how hard could it be to get information from a crazy person?"
