Sorry for the longer delay than normal! I just got this section all edited. Anyway, enjoy, my darling readers!

Disclaimer: I do not own Zee A-Team!

Serenity curled up next to Murdock, feeling really cold for some reason. "Renny, why didn't you take your meds. They help you a lot, don't they?"

She sighed. "Yeah but...I forgot em when I ran away..."

Murdock blinked. "You ran away? Why?"

She winced. "Daddy wouldn't let me go out. He was afraid of someone..." She glanced up at him before looking away. "I wanted to see you...but then I heard on the news he'd been killed and I..." She sighed deeply. "I went to investigate. I found files on a man he was having trouble with. I think he was stealing money from some people...His name's Wilson Blake. I-I'm just glad I found you guys..." She smiled a shaky smile. She was about to lay a hand on his cheek, but he grabbed her arm suddenly. She froze.

"Serenity." His voice was a deathly growl. She yanked her arm away and got up, stalking to the window. "Who did that to you?" She trembled, holding her bandaged wrist protectively. "I swear I'll..."

"What? Do what, Murdock?" She snapped at him, fear and embarrassment flashing in her eyes.

All at once, the realization hit the pilot hard. "No..."

"Yes! Yes, okay. I...hurt myself." Her own words sounded like a poison to her. They stung her lips as she spit them out. She couldn't stand the expression on Murdock's face. "Just don't look at me like that." She pleaded. Even the voices in her head were silent now. He was even quieter. Anger and betrayal washed over her. He had been with her when the going got tough. Was he going to judge her now?

Murdock just stared at Serenity. How could she do that to herself? She was so strong and beautiful...it felt like she had done it to him. He remembered that she hadn't been taking the medicine, but she never mentioned that she hurt herself like that..."Why?" He finally choked out dryly.

She pressed her hands against the windowsill until her knuckles turned white. Her heart pounded fitfully. Should she even tell him? No, she needed to tell him. She would go even further into the deep end if she didn't tell someone. "The only reason I have them is because I didn't have the guts to press harder." Her gut twisted at the pain in her voice. She hardly sounded like herself. That was not how she'd wanted to say it. Yes, she hadn't done it the night she got the idea to look for the A-Team...but there were nights when she didn't think she was going to find them...and she had only just stopped herself. She felt abundantly weak, alone, and worthless. She turned around to face the man. "Believe me, I tried to end it. I almost did. I-"

"No! Nonononononono!" Murdock had suddenly covered his ears and shut his eyes in pain. Serenity stared in shock. So that was it then? She had gone too far for even Murdock to accept her. He didn't even want to listen to her! She was hurting him, so she stopped. She turned her back to him and flinched when she heard Murdock run out and slam the door. This was it, huh? The man who had stopped her from doing herself in couldn't even bring himself to look at her now. He didn't even want to hear her say it. Why hadn't he heard her out? Why had he just left? Because you're worthless. You're not worth the pain. The voices mocked her, and laughed. Her whole body trembled.

Hannibal twisted around as Murdock fled from the bedroom, hands pressed over his ears. "Captain." The pilot didn't even respond. He flopped onto the couch, rocking back and forth. "What's wrong, Captain?" He just shook his head, trembling from head to toe. What had disturbed him so? BA was keeping watch outside and Face was in the kitchen. "Murdock, I need an answer." He shook the pilot lightly. Murdock's panic filled brown eyes flashed open.

"Serenity!" He cried out. Hannibal frowned. What had that girl said? He was going to give her a piece of his mind.

"Face!" The conman emerged from the kitchen. "Watch Murdock, will you?" Hannibal pulled out his gun cautiously and headed for Face's room...

Colonel Hannibal Smith had seen a lot of things, but that didn't stop him from cursing as he rounded the bed and saw Wilds on the ground in a growing puddle of blood. "PECK!" He shouted. "GET A DOCTOR HERE NOW!" He needed to stop the blood. He heard fumbling in the other room. He yanked the comforter off of the bed and wrapped it around her wrist, and it was quickly getting soaked.

"They're on their way, Hannibal. Why do we-" Face's sentence broke off as soon as he saw the client. More like a patient now. He cursed. "I'll get the medkit." He returned shortly with a first aid kit, which Hannibal deftly used to clean the wound and wrap it up.

"Let's just hope they get here in time." Amid all of the chaos, HM Murdock sat on the couch, rocking back and forth, humming the tune to Summertime.

As soon as consciousness found her, so did terror. A sharp peal burst past her lips and she struggled upwards. A hand fell against her arm and she tried to shake it away, falling over in the process. The other person came down with her. "Now just calm down, I'm not going to hurt you." Said a female voice. Serenity just closed her eyes and stopped struggling. Something was strange.

"What's wrong, Maggie?" Came a familiar voice. Who was that? She couldn't place it. Suddenly, she jerked. There were no voices...it was blissfully quiet.

Serenity burst upwards. She saw an older looking brunette woman and a man...Hannibal! How did she know his name? She tried to remember, but it was all a blur. "What happened? Where am I?"

Hannibal stared at her with stony eyes. Murdock still wasn't coherent, and he didn't know the full story, only that she did it to him. Truth be told, he didn't have a whole lot of respect for people who took the easy way out, but he tried to tell himself that he had no idea what was going on in the woman's head. He had seen some of Murdock's low points and he didn't know what the pilot would of done had they not been there. "What's the last thing you remember, Kid?" Serenity paused. It was hazy...she was in a room with Murdock...she was angry...she talked to him about...about her wrists...She glanced down to see her heavily bandaged wrists. Maggie and Hannibal exchanged glances. She suddenly remembered the anguish, though now less pronounced. And the blood. She tried to talk for a moment, but then promptly threw up.

Maggie had cleaned her up, and she was now sitting on a couch with a blanket around her. Now that she was free of the voices, she felt hollow. She couldn't even understand the woman who had actually tried to kill herself. In fact, the only reason she suspected she was sane right now was because she had convinced herself that that woman was a different person. "Where'd you get the Chlorpromazine?" She asked the doctor.

Maggie didn't even look at her. "Loxapine. We got it from the VA."

Serenity blinked. That was Murdock's medication. Why did they use that? And why was everyone so mad at her? "What's wrong?"

Maggie sighed. "It's Murdock."

Serenity's gut clenched. "What happened to him?"

"He's catatonic. No one can get anything out of him after what you did." Serenity blinked.

"Can I see him?"

Maggie snorted. "Good luck getting the Colonel to agree to that. As far as he's concerned, it's your fault."

Serenity took a moment to savor the feeling of regret that seeped through her, before standing up and heading for the door. "I best be going, then."

"Wait!" Cried the doctor as she stood in front of her.

"Wait for what?" Serenity sighed. "I've done it, haven't I? There's no way they're going to help me now."

"You don't know that..." Stated the doc, hands on her hips.

Serenity just shook her head, not wanting to do any more damage. "I really think I ought to go. I don't know how many more people I'll accidentally throw into a coma."

Seeing the determination in Serenity's eyes, she held out a bottle."You'll need this." She handed a bottle of Loxapine to Serenity. "I would talk to Hannibal. He's all show, but he does what he knows is right in the end." The girl nodded before stepping outside, heading straight for a taxi. She really didn't want to talk to Hannibal right now; She didn't want to talk to anybody. She most certainly didn't want to face Murdock.

Hannibal watched her go from the van. She had hurt one of his men, and he didn't know if Murdock was going to snap out of it this time. In all honesty, he didn't know whether or not seeing Serenity would have a good or bad effect on his pilot, so right now, he was caring for him the only way he knew how-with the team. If they needed to find her later on, they could. The Colonel looked down at his unhinged Captain. He really hoped this wasn't the last straw for Murdock. He had talked about some girl he met like she was an angel, and assuming he had been talking about Serenity, hearing about her hurting herself might just have popped the last screw loose. The pilot was currently curled up in a ball, asleep, but murmuring one word. "Serenity."

"Where to." Said the gruff cabby.

"Anywhere but here." Murmured Serenity.

The cabby let out a feral laugh. "You got it." He turned around. "Nice to finally meet you, Miss. The name's Wilson Blake." The gas pedal hit the floor board and they sped off, but not before Serenity let out a terrified scream.

The swift rat-tat of machine gun fire cut through the empty hallways and woke Serenity right up. She cursed, and started on her rope bonds once more. That was the third time she had fallen asleep that night. In any case, those machine guns did not sound nice, and she wanted to be gone by the time they got there. The ropes were getting looser, and slicker, due to a certain crimson liquid, and after a few minutes they were jimmied off, taking more than Serenity would have liked with them. She stumbled upwards with the rope in hand, and crept to the door. There was a man guarding it. Quietly, she snuck behind him and threw the rope about his neck, choking him long enough to grab his gun. She then pointed it at him, and tied him up in the room she had been in. She sneaked down the halls, trying to move away from the guns.

She had no idea how those men had found her but she assumed they had their secret evil people ways that she didn't know about. She had no idea how they could have known she needed a taxi, either. They might have been following her. Wilson Blake probably wanted to kill her, but she was just happy that he had waited a few hours. Maybe he wanted to have a little fun with her first. Serenity winced. Over her dead body...She chuckled darkly. What a fine sense of humor she had on her today. And what was this with the machine guns? She supposed all she should be worried about was getting away from them. She'd had enough of seeing her own blood for a while, thank you.

Suddenly, a man rounded a corner, and seeing her, aimed his gun at her. Serenity screamed and ducked as a bullet flew beside her. "You're causing more trouble than you're worth, bitch." She looked up at the man, Wilson, she realized, and glared.

"Looks like you'll get to die after all, you pathetic, suicidal, whore." He chuckled and lifted his gun, while Serenity let out a small prayer. Like it would even be answered. She didn't deserve it. There was a shot, and she flinched. Soon after, she realized she was still alive.

"That's what you get when you mess with the A-Team, slimeball." Hannibal's voice came from above her head. Serenity pushed herself up, and visibly flinched when she saw the machine gun in his hand. She looked to Wilson, to see him on the ground.

"Oh, heavens. Did you kill him?" She choked out, sounding like she was going to puke again.

"Kill him? He doesn't deserve it. Just shot him in the leg. He won't be able to get very far before the police get here. Come on." He gestured for her to follow, and she did, running through the bare halls.

"Why?" She asked simply.

Hannibal felt a little bad, seeing as she had asked why instead of how. "Because, kid, whether you like it or not, you got yourself involved with us. That made this personal."

Serenity stopped. "But...Murdock." Hannibal stopped too, looking back at her.

He studied her for a moment, and then sighed. "He got a little better when we told him we were gonna go after you."

"But...how did you know he had me?" Serenity questioned.

Hannibal grinned. "Kid, I have never heard anyone scream louder in my life."

AAAAAAND, There it is. If you are confused about Murdock's reaction, you won't be disappointed in the next chappie! I don't know if this was all believable, and I stumbled over the middle quite a lot, but I hope you guys like it. I'll try to be swift in my updates!
