Disclaimer: I don't own the characters in this story.
Summary: Murdock goes out with the team after they've escaped Fort Bragg.
Warnings: Some metal illness, nothing too bad.
Notes: Response to the Quick Pick for Echo. 150 words.
He's like an echo at the minute and I can see BA's losing his temper, but he's staying quite.
He knows, just like the rest of us do, that he's not doing it on purpose. He's out of it. We got him from the VA, thought he'd be okay, that the hospital was just a guise while we got to him, somewhere he could lay low until we got it together enough to break him out.
That's what we did and at first it was fine. Then, well, I guess the medicine started to ware off and he became the person he now was. He was scared, of us, of himself, everything.
Everything we said, he repeated, that's why we were all so quiet, but every now and then, you had to say something. It's grating, even knowing he can't help it.
We'll get him home now. He needs help.
