Chapter one.

Captain Howlin' Mad Murdock sat in the common room and played cards with his friend Chris. He was moving around in his chair because he was about to win the game. Only problem was, there were no "real" cards in their hands. Murdock's attention was quickly shifted to the loud noises coming from the hallway. The two players looked in the direction of the noise and Chris returned his attention to his game. Some girl was screaming at the top of her lungs. Chris dropped his cards and yelled: "Bingo!" before he gathered up the invisible money. Murdock looked down at the table and quickly looked back at the hall. The doctors carried a brunet past the common room and Murdock got a quick glance at the girl's face. She'd been crying.

"Hey Murdock! I won!!!!" Chris screamed and dragged Murdock's attention back to the game.

"No fair." Murdock exclaimed before he dropped his cards on the table.

"Fair is fair!" Tawnia exclaimed at her boss. "Judy got two weeks leave last month, I'm just asking for one week."

"You're hardly ever in the office, Tawnia. You stay here." The boss stated and turned his back on her.

"I'm out on stories! Don't I bring in good business?" Tawnia tried.

"You do, but I'm confining you to your desk for another month. It's the new system Tawnia, there's nothing we can do about it. Now, take a seat." He finished.

"I don't want to sit" Lieutenant Templeton Face Peck uttered as Sergeant Bosco BA Baracus set him down on a dentist's chair.

"You're sitting. It's just a dentist, he's not gonna kill you." BA said.

"I'm scared." Face said as he pulled a kid-like face.

"Nothing scares me" a random actor said at the studio.

"Please! You're peeing in your pants!" Colonel John Hannibal Smith said as he pulls his black mask further down his face.

"Cut!!!" the director screamed and sprang up. "With more feeling, please! And stop fiddling with that mask!"

"I don't think this role is exactly what I'm looking for." Hannibal said and pulled off the mask.

Tawnia dropped into a chair in the corner of the coffee shop.

"Are you still looking for them?" she asked the girl opposite her. Baroness Almelia Vida Urquhart looked up. Her eyes were red from crying. She nodded.

"Come with me." Tawnia stood again and the two women walked out.

A Limo stopped at the door just as they walked out the door. Almelia climbed in and Tawnia followed.

"This better be quick guys, I have to go back to prison." Tawnia said when she sat in front of Hannibal.

"Prison?" Face asked from the driver's seat.

"My boss is confining me to my desk for a month." Tawnia complained.

"No need to say more." Face answered and started driving.

"What's the job?" Hannibal asked.

"I need help." Almelia said in a rich British accent.

"And that's why you're here, isn't it?" Hannibal said sarcastically.

"Don't get smart with me, please. I know that was kind of obvious but I also know that this isn't your usual kind of case." She said.

"Why don't you tell us what you want, them I'll tell you if it's usual or not." BA talked for the first time.

"There's this man, Eric Vaster, he's been doing some illegal things back in Britain. He's managed to drag my brother into his schemes and he ended up dead. Now, everyone says my brother is still alive and Eric had never even met him but I know better. Eric killed him. And he's holding it against me. No one will believe me."

"Is he blackmailing you?" Hannibal asked.

"Yes. But of course I'm not allowed to say that." Almelia whispered as she flicked a strand of brown hair over her shoulder.

"You do know that we're very expensive." Hannibal said.

"I heard. I'm sure I can afford you." Almelia said and the A-Team frowned. "I'm royalty."

"Well then I guess you hired the A-team" Hannibal said as he stuck out his hand for her to shake.
