Opening Scene

The bungalow was wrapped in a cloak of darkness as Lonnie sat upright in bed with a over-sized journal open on her lap and a pencil in her hand. The tools in which to write down any information sat unmoving as she wondered what to write. "How many times can you write about four men wrongfully accused, on the run from the military and being saved a few times by the one others had pegged as massively mental? What can I write that they do not already know?" The lady asked the question aloud though she thought no one else to be awake.

"They don't know about us." John 'Hannibal' Smith rolled around and opened his eyes. "Tell them about a young beautiful island girl who seduced an old renegade the first time he laid eyes on her."

"I did no such thing -you're exaggerating." Lonnie reprimanded her husband - the whole time fighting the grin he always brought to her face.

"I care to differ." Hannibal sat up and moved closer to his wife. "And while you're it, tell of the big part Terra's uncle played in it all -not to mention afterwards."

"That part, darling, would be too much for me to write down." Lonnie shot a playful glare Hannibal's way.

"So, just write how we met and got together." Hannibal lifted a hand and traced it down her high check-bone as he proceeded to give her kiss.

"But I can't show the story, you know how many complaints I've gotten at family reunions when people read anything I write?" Lonnie sulked as her eyes fell back onto the paper.

"So, tell it then , no one hired you sell a novel." The man who had been leader of the A-team then laid back down and fell asleep as his wife got out of bed and went into the front room to pen their history into the journal.

Scene 1

The wind blew across the dirt road four young girls walked on. None of the girls had been considered a minor for a couple of years - but all enjoyed throwing off adult restraints as they laughed about guys, work and - of course -more guys. Even Lonnie -the normally quiet one - swapped a few jokes. That is she exchanged them until she heard voices in 'that' spot.

"Where are you going? Terra hissed in a very sharp tone - her blue eyes snapping as her short -wavy- hair stood stiff not daring to budge with the tone its owner used.

"Where do you think?" Lonnie didn't wait for an answer as she dove down between the bushes hoping what she'd overheard just that morning wasn't true. Unfortunately - it was.

Four men were climbing out of the boat. One of the males had pure white hair, the other was a big fellow wearing plenty of gold chains, the third looked like he spent too much time in front of a mirror and the last one's hair seemed to be seriously considering running off the man's head. All four stayed by the boat but turned around when the sound of footstep could be heard hurrying their way.

Hannibal caught his breath as watched a young island gal with hair hanging to her waist coming his way. Her eyes were soft and her mouth had to be painted on by an artist's brush. And that hair… Hannibal found his breath and asked the girl her name.

"Just call me Lonnie." Her voice might as well have been a soft feather brushing across his skin. The gal then asked if -by chance he was Hannibal Smith of the A-team.

"Yes, I am, but I was expecting to met a man here not…" He glanced up a the others now on the beach, "…four females."

"I know you don't know me." Lonnie spoke softly. "…but please trust me." Her deep brown eyes pleaded for him to do so. "You've been tricked, if you value your freedom -maybe, even your life- follow me without question now."

"Lonnie…" Terra started to protest, but was silenced by three words from her friend - and they were 'You owe me'. It really didn't matter why because Terra's ex-boyfriend was out of the picture, but still she was in debt to Lonnie. "Okay, okay. If they follow I'll help."

"So?" Lonnie didn't have to ask as second time as Hannibal grabbed his basic survival gear and had his men do the same thing. It was only when they climbing another dirt road - hidden from the main road did the one in charge ask the gal what was up , and where was the man they were supposed to have met.

"Like I said, you've been tricked. Whatever Troy told you I can guarantee you is a lie." Lonnie kept up her fast pace and sent a very sincere prayer of thanksgiving up the men were in really good shape.

"He said his sister was being held hostage and would be killed by midnight if we couldn't get her away from a man who hated him fiercely." Hannibal heard Lonnie give a loud -disgusted snort.

"I take it that's not true?" All the men asked as they reached a plateau.

"Do I look like I'm being held hostage?" She raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but chuckle at the shocked look on their faces.

"He said his sister's name was Ronnie not Lonnie." Murdock piped up from the back.

"Like I said, lied to." Lonnie led them up another trail as explained she'd overheard her foster brother talking about them to a man named Decker on the phone just that morning. "He just wants the money that army guy is offering for anyone that finds you."

"Lonnie?" Terra asked as she realized where her friend was leading them.

"Yes?" Lonnie did not slow down her steps.

Terra paused long enough to take a deep breath before going on. "Why are we going to 'that' cave?" The gal only knew a little history of the place, but wasn't comfortable with even the small amount she knew.

"That cave?" The men all asked wondering what the two were talking about.

"Are you aware of any other place known to so few? One of which will buy these men more time?" Terra did not reply as she knew there was only one answer - the men to continued their way up the hill with Lonnie in the lead.
