"Could the doctors Pierce and Hunnicutt come see their humble Colonel?"

"I guess we better go" said the disgruntled Hawkeye.

"Yeah he sounds mad enough to-"

"NOW," Shouted Colonel Potter over the intercom.

"Maybe we should have gone to the Colonel the first time he called for us…. or the second time," Hawkeye mused as the two swamp dwellers made their way dejectedly across the compound. They took their slow sweet time knowing that the Colonel's news was anything but good. The 8063rd needed help. Again.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"When I call for you, I expect you to come POST HASTE!!!!!!"

"We're sorry Colonel, but what's the point in coming when we already know what you want," said Hawkeye with a far-from sorry expression and a mischievous twinkle in his eye.

"Oh yeah? Well if you already know what I am going to say, then why don't you enlighten me?"

Sensing that the wise move would be to stay silent, Hawk and BJ stood and stared at the ground feigning repentance. Colonel Potter relented and even gave a small sad smile. You couldn't help enjoying their childish antics and he was sure that they knew where they would have to go. Casualties had been heavy and the 4077th had not received any of the wounded because the roads where unsafe with usually active snipers in the area.

A surgeon's duty was to save lives, however, and there was no other way, Colonel Potter delivered the rest of his news, "The 8063rd has been receiving wounded for the past two days now. They are a doctor short due to roads being closed. There's been a lot of shelling and sniper fire around there. I'm sorry boys, but I'm going to have to send you both to the 8063rd to help."

Knowing that there was no arguing the doctors merely nodded and went back to the swamp to pack the supplies that they would need at the other MASH unit. They would be leaving at dawn.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Sirs? Sirs, wake up." Radar hated waking up the two doctors. He always felt so guilty. And he didn't want them to leave either. Oh well, this is a war and they all had a duty to the army. No matter how unwilling they were to be in the army. So Radar performed his duty, "Wake up sirs. You have to get going." Ah at last. He could see that Hawkeye was starting to wake.

"Radar if you don't go away I will take your teddy bear hostage," grumbled the not so awake Hawkeye.

"It's not my fault sir! Colonel Potter said you have to get going."

"What? Oh yeah, hey Beej we have to get up and get going," Hawkeye said as he threw his pillow at BJ. The two doctors jumped out of bed and got ready for the trip to the 8063rd. It was going to be a long day, but hopefully there wouldn't be any problems and they'd be back soon. At least it was a nice clear day that would make for a good drive.

"I'm driving."

"You always drive." But BJ gave in none the less. You couldn't argue with Hawkeye when his mind was set on something. The two men jumped into the jeep and drove out of camp. It really was a nice drive. At least it was until they started to hear gunshots. The shots were going off all around them. One even hit the dirt right next to the front tire. Hawkeye pushed the old army jeep to its limits. Stupid army surplus! He wasn't sure if even at top speed it would be enough.

"Drive faster Hawk!"

"I am. I am. Besides they wouldn't shot a doctor. Hold up your medical bag."

"Oh yeah that'll work." Despite their joking Hawkeye could tell that BJ was terrified. He hadn't been in Korea for long and this was certainly a new experience. BJ had really thought that they wouldn't shoot at a doctor. You learn something new everyday.

"Ouch!!!!"

"Oh my—are you alright Hawk?!"

"Yeah…I think it's just a scratch..." He certainly hoped it was just a scratch. It really did hurt. "I'll let you look at it when were reach a safer strip of road. Or dirt as it were."

"...Okay" If BJ had been terrified before then he had no idea how to describe this new feeling. What if it wasn't a scratch? He quickly scrutinized Hawk. He wasn't bleeding too much... He was still able to drive. That's good right? He'll have to wait till they reach safer ground to know.
