Here is another story. Please be nice and please review. Thanks to my beta Murdock Calavicci for helping me. This chapter is short. Sorry.
Part 7-Murdock make a vow. BA and Hannibal angry at Frankie.
Murdock got up carefully. He was still very sore from, what had happened last night. He walked around the room, looking down at Face, who was still asleep on the floor.
'How am I going to protect Face from getting hurt, or worse?' Murdock thought.
Face woke and saw Murdock standing by the door. He wondered what the pilot was thinking. He got up and walked over to him, laying his hand on Murdock's shoulder. Murdock jumped in surprise and hit him in the face. Face landed on the floor, looking up at Murdock in shock.
"What did you do that for?" Face asked.
"I'm so sorry, Facey!" Murdock got down on his knees to check Face's cheek.
"It's okay, Murdock. It's my fault for sneaking up on you," Face said.
"Can I ask you something?" Murdock seemed nervous.
"Sure, ask away."
"When they made you change clothes, did they let you keep your boxers?"
"No. Why?"
"No reason. Don't worry about it." Murdock was afraid that Face was going to be next. He needed to keep the con man at his side no matter what to protect him.
Face knows that Murdock is hiding something. He doesn't like it when Murdock feels he has to lie. Especially when he's trying to protect Face, which Face was sure he was doing now.
They sat back on the floor until they heard the lock on the door. Derek and Richard opened the door and looked at the boys, with smirks on their faces. Face and Murdock didn't like the looks the men had. They wondered what in store for them.
"Get up!" Richard shouted. "And follow us."
Face and Murdock followed them outside. They walked around one of the buildings. There they saw other men working. Both wondered how long these others had been kidnapped. Richard and Derek pushed the two of them towards Alex.
"You two will be working in the gardens," Alex ordered. "Frank, take them and show them how to do it."
Frank led them Face and Murdock to the gardens. Alex, Richard, and Derek watched them. They liked what they got from Murdock, and wondered how Face would be. Probably just as good.
Meanwhile back in Langley, Virginia
Hannibal, BA, and Frankie came downstairs and headed to the kitchen for breakfast. As soon as they finished, they headed to the door. Frankie knew he needed to tell Hannibal what he had done, but wasn't sure how to do it without making Hannibal and BA mad at him.
"Johnny, can I talk to you before we go look for Face and Murdock?" Frankie asked.
"Sure. What's on your mind, kid?"
"I'll go check the van," BA said, heading for the door.
"No, BA. You need to hear this, too," Frankie said.
"Okay."
Frankie began nervously, "I was the one who told Stockwell about Face going over to Murdock's."
BA couldn't believe that Frankie would betray Face's trust like that. Hannibal, on the other hand, had suspected Frankie all along.
"Why'd you do that to Face, fool?" BA asked, angrily.
"I don't know. I guess I was jealous of Face."
"You, jealous of Face? Why?" Hannibal asked.
"Because he's always going over to Murdock's! No one ever invites me anywhere," Frankie complained.
"Sound like you wish Murdock was your best friend instead of Face's," Hannibal said. "Face doesn't like being held prisoner here. It remind him of the camps in Vietnam. Sure, this place is a heck of a lot nicer, but it's the same concept. That's why he goes over to Murdock's whenever we're not on a mission. And Murdoick doesn't invite you over because it takes awhile to trust someone completely.
Frankie turned away. "I didn't know that. I understand now.
"You'd bettered, fool!" BA growled.
"You better hope that Face and Murdock aren't hurt because of this," Hannibal warned.
Frankie nodded. "Okay."
They all left the house to look for their missing friends, each one hoping that Face and Murdock haven't been hurt. Hannibal and BA are disappointed in Frankie, yet they hoped that Face and Murdock will be able to forgive him when they find them.
