A-team:Rouge
Chapter 7
Moscow,Russia
Agent Lynch a special agent for the CIA was all smiles and beside himself knowing that he had substained two of members of the A-Team. But Face and Murdock had a different plan to escape and knowing if Hannibal ever found out that he was in fact right then Face would never hear the end of it. Just as Lynch was about to leave an unlikely woman walked through the door someone Face would have never expected. His former flame Charissa Sosa.
"Charissa?" Face asked looking like he had seen a ghost.
"Well hello there darling I hope you're not at all surprised that since Bagdad I've been working with Lynch."
"What? what do you mean? we all saw you arrest him that night at the docks."
"Yeah well that scenerio we had to play out over and over to make it all look good for Director McGreedy and of course your beloved Col. Smith."
"Hey pretty boy haven't you figued it all out by now? I mean being married to this broad was a real test of our relationship. The relationship she had with you was all a scam and our way of getting valuable information."
Face and Murdock both looked at each other surprised at this amount of information especailly when Face thought he knew Charissa. But obviously he knew nothing about this woman.
"So you basically been playing me since the very first day? Why? why would you betray your country like that all for what?" Face asked as he never took his eyes off of Charissa.
"I did it for the fate of our country I did it cause after seeing you and your team succeed in so many missions the Army,the great citizens of our country were well frankly getting tired and the A-Team was getting old. So our very own president of the United States asked a very special team of highly trained soldiers to take you and your team out. So that's what Director McGreedy did he searched and searched around the world for a well selective team of assassins and ever since we have been looking forward to this day for a really long time." Charissa said as she backed away from Face and Murdock and headed toward Lynch. Just as Lynch and Sosa were about to leave Annabelle and a few other agents bursted in with guns ablazing. Shots were fired and without a single notion Hannibal and B.A. came in behind Annabelle. Hannibal and B.A. both carried Face and Murdock out of the building and out into the street where Hannibal helped Face to his feet only to judge his actions for the past few days.
"Are you happy now Face are you happy that you finally proved your point to me?"
"Well Boss if you would have listened to me in the first place we would have never been in this situation to begin with and for one I would like to know the status of Charisse is she alive and well?" Hannibal looked at Face with weiry in his eyes not instantly took that as a no and began to walk away. But before he could reach the gates Annabelle came running up to him.
"Look Face the woman you knew as Charisse Adams was not who she says she was. Charisse Adams was infact the wife to Carlos Trejo the Spanish drug lord you did undercover business with Charisse was sent as a covert analyst to infiltrate the mission but unfortantely she could not complete the mission so Carlos had his own wife killed. And my name is Special Agent Annabelle Smith I do not work for the CIA I am an agent for the D.C.I.S and for the past four years I have been working with my dad in getting your case from Bagdad re-opened and tried once again in a Military court where you and my dad along with the others will be given a fair trial. I am sorry for the trouble you and Mr. Murdock had to endure while here in Lt. it is a pleasure meeting you." Annabelle said as she shook his hand and walked away to Hannibal. Face stood there in awe as he watched him with Annabelle. Face just watched at how Hannibal was a completely different person when he was around Annabelle. It was like a light had opened up for Hannibal and he was no longer the person Face knew anymore. But the feeling he still had for Charisse were still there and was going to take time for those feelings to disappear,even after all that had happend and after Hannibal came in and saved him from Lynch and Sosa Face still dispised Hannibal for his actions and made the choice that would change his relationship with Hannibal forever. Face made the decision to walk away from it all and start a new life or at least try too,but in the end he knew he could not live like this anymore. So he walked away from it and never looked back.
Just as Face was walking away Hannibal just stared and watched as Face walked away from it all. Hannibal knew he could never get through to the kid and that now he realized he had to stop treating Face like a baby and accept the fact that they would never stay a team forever. Hannibal now realized that his men were ready to start a new life and move on even if it meant going under new alias' and killing their true identities forever. Hannibal knew deep down that B.A. and Murdock were ready to move and leave this life of crime and live the life they always wanted to live. And Hannibal was ready to go back home and finish out the rest of his life with his daughter Annabelle. But what would happen when thier case got re-opened and the military courts were willing to overturn their conviction would they make the decision to return to the Army or leave and spend their life back in the U.S. where they could finally begin a new life. Since Mexico all had changed for the A-Team even their lives but living a life of crime and secrecy was finally coming to end...they hoped.
"Hey Lt. you ready for another wild night?" A voice from behind Face asked.
"Well hello Abby you know what I am ready for another wild night..where are we going this time?"
"Uh..well its a surprise."
"Oh? well then I guess I should try and pesuade you to tell me before we get there."
"Haha...I'm not that easy besides you can't break me that easily." Abby said as they both got into her car and drove away. Meanwhile Hannibal,Murdock,B.A. and Annabelle all just stood and stared as they watched Face disappear into the distance. Murdock and B.A. could tell Hannibal was upset to see Face his best and brightest asset leave them in the dust. Murdock and B.A were about to say something when Annabelle looked at them both and nodded for them to just leave it. They both got the nod and decided not to say anything as they watched the expressions on Hannibal face change.
"So what do we do now?" Murdock asked as he stared at Hannibal.
"I don't know but for one I need to get you three back to the U.S. before the CIA takes over this place especially when they find out that one of their own men has gone rouge. and I am sure that D.C.I.S would love to get their hands on Sosa for betraying her C.O. and find out her reasons. In the meantime you three should lay low for at least a couple of days just until I can get authorization from my boss to send you back home." Annabelle said as she walked away and headed back towards the van. Murdock looked at Hannibal who still stared at the open road.
"Bossman there is nothing more we can do Face has made up his mind and I doubt he will come back to us."
Hannibal looked at Murdock with sadness in his eyes and then proceeded to walk towards the van without saying a word. Murdock and B.A. could tell there was something else bothering him just trying to get him to confess was the hard part. Just before Hannibal got into the van he once again looked out onto the open road hoping Face would realize that he made a mistake and would come back to join him and the team. The A-team would never be the same without Lt. Templeton "Faceman" Peck.
