"C'mon guys…you gotta let me come with you!" Tawnia Baker pleaded as she followed the team over to the van. "Where are you going anyway? And what's with all the secrecy, Hannibal?"

"This mission is on a 'need-to-know' basis." Hannibal pulled a cigar from his jacket pocket. "Sorry kid, but you don't need to know."

"Face…talk to them would you?"

Face got out his lighter and lit Hannibal's cigar. "Listen Tawnia, if it was up to me you could take my spot."

"Murdock?"

Murdock smiled and patted Tawnia on the back. "Don't fret, Chiquita. We'll be back before you can say 'B.A. Baracus buys beautiful baubles'."

B.A. growled, "shut up you crazy fool!"

Tawnia mustered up her courage and walked over to the large man who was loading the van with boxes. "B.A.? What do you say?"

"Sorry mama…where we goin' ain't no place for a lady to be."

"Oh great! That's just great! You all don't want me to come because I'm a woman!"

The four men sheepishly looked at the ground; the truth finally being revealed.

Tawnia crossed her arms and shook her head. "Unbelievable!"

"It's nothing personal, Baker," Hannibal said. Pointing his cigar at her head, he questioned, "but what happens if you mess your hair?"

"Smudge your make-up?" Face quickly added.

Murdock curtseyed. "Rip your dress?"

"Break a nail?" B.A. grunted.

Tawnia stomped her foot in frustration. "That's not fair and you know it! We have the hair and make-up trailer, remember?"

"Yes, but that slows down production," Hannibal sighed and then muttered, "which happens often enough as it is with Face always having to look so darn perfect."

"Hey!" Face exclaimed incredulously, but then grinned and said, "I resemble that remark."

"Don't care what the fool or Faceman do, alls I know is me and Hannibal only work 'til five."

"But I promise to be real careful," Tawnia whined. "I can handle myself out there just fine!"

"I am reminded at this moment of somebody from our past," Hannibal said pensively. "I feel that now would be an appropriate time to mention said person and to possibly learn from the past. Ready men…on the count of three. One…two…three!"

"Amy," they all said in unison.

A look of confusion spread over Tawnia's face, but slowly gave way to an understanding smile. She had heard stories of how Amy always wanted to tag along and be one of the guys, until it eventually drove a wedge between her and the others.

"Have fun on your trip boys. I think maybe I'll just stay behind this time and," she paused and tossed her hair for effect. Tawnia licked her lips before slowly purring, "take a nice, long, hot bubble bath."

Face gulped. "Maybe I should stay also and keep an eye on Taw…I mean things."

"Nice try, Lieutenant. See ya Sweetheart," Hannibal said putting his cigar out on the ground and taking his seat in the van. "I love it when a plan comes together."

The four men drove off the set in the van leaving Tawnia standing by herself. "I get a day off…I love it when a plan comes together too!"

The End
