Some Other Place

Katiemarie

A night out on the town with our favorite guys, What do you think would happen? Well let's find out. I know my story's have been bit melancholy lately so tonight it will be just a little blow off of steam for the team. OK so the last chapter got a little feely. but you got have some drama at least no one has been physically hurt .I work in bars and at one point at any night people get caught up in their own lives and thoughts.

Warnings- none ,

Chapter 9

"We can make it Mac we just need a little more time. And if these guys are interested in helping I think we should try. I'm Jane Mac's wife "

Mac nodded and did the introductions.

"Come on Mac trust us " Face said

Patty came back over after getting them all drinks.

"Mac I think you are an amazing man and everyone who comes in here loves the place,AND you are a great boss. I know I don't want to work for anyone else. Would you guys be silent partners or bosses too?"

"Strictly silent unless we are can help with some stuff, Face said, I can help with advertising and promotion , BA could help with repairs , Hannibal can also come up with ideas and Murdock , Well he can" Face was at a loss for what Murdock could do being in the VA most of the time unless they were out on a job.

"I can help with music." Murdock pipped up flashing a smile at Face, He had found himself in a bit of quandary. He liked Patty but didn't know if his living arrangement would scare her off.

"Of coarse there would be no proof of our involvement for obvious reasons, and Jane for full disclosure We are all on the run from the Military so no one can know of us". Hannibal said in a serious tone

" Wait are you guys saying your THE A-TEAM? I have heard of you, Mac talked about after he read an article in the paper." Jane said her eyes growing wide

"Yep that's us ,So not only for our protection but your own it is imperative that we remain anonymous"

"And if you have any reservations about us our our situation then we will go. We are trusting you and you have to trust us too. "

"How would we get hold of you..I mean if we went forward , I can't imagine you are easy to get hold of."Mac asked

"We have a few numbers that get to us directly, plus you can get hold of Amy Allen At the L.A courier. She also has ways to reach us."

"Or you can call me , I'm around " Murdock piped up Face stared at him surprised

"Well They can, I am technically NOT on the run but I do live at the V.A . I have my own phone and if I am not with these guys righting wrongs for the good people of the world "

"Yea so there's that too , So what we are saying we can be reached, we may not always be available to come right in but someone will be able to help." Hannibal said

"SO what do you say Mac, Jane?" Hannibal lit a cigar and sat back on his chair

"Let's do it" Mac said

"Well look's like you just went into Business with The A-Team Congratulations " Hannibal reached over and Shook Mac's Hand then he shook Jane's

While Face and Hannibal talked money with Mac and Jane, B.A wondered off to see what else was in need of sat back down with Murdock who was spinning a quarter on the bar

"SO the V.A? that's where you live? " Patty asked

"Yep it's a long story."

"You don't look injured , I mean the way you dance you seem pretty fit to me "

"Not all injury's are physical hun, ya know what I mean ."

" You don't seem crazy either."

"Awe you just caught me on a good day. Who knows tomorrow I might be Superman, Or a talking car" Murdock said spinning the quarter faster

"So will I be able to get that number too? I mean I Like Superman. A talking car sounds like it might be fun." Patty said boldly

Murdock's quarter flew off the bar and He laughed as he jumped up to retrieve it.

When he stood back up Patty was right there and quickly kissed him. He was taken back for a brief moment and kissed her back. She slid her arm's around his waist and placed her head on his chest. She was a few inches shorter and he could rest his head on the top of hers. She could hear his heart beating and smell his cologne and the leather of his jacket . He felt safe to her she hadn't felt that for a long time.

His eyes were closed as he stood there with her in his arm, smiling at the way she seemed to fit perfectly against him. He was lost in the moment no thoughts spinning around in his head. Just one man one women and the closeness. Before he knew it they were dancing to Ain't no sunshine by Bill Withers.

Hannibal and Face had finished talking to Mac and Jane. Ba had come into the office and gave them a rundown of all the work he saw that the bar. Nothing he couldn't have buttoned up in a few days with the guys pitching in.

They looked around for their friend and Face pointed at the figures swaying together at the bar.

"Well there is another plus to this arrangement. She seems nice maybe it will do him some good to not feel alone when we're not around." Hannibal said.

"It will do her good too her husband was killed in car accident a year ago. That's when she came to me for a job. She usually keeps men at a distance but something about your Pilot seemed to change that tonight."Mac said thoughtfully

" Yea he is like that, he has a way with the hurt" Face told their new partner

" Did I tell you there is a small apartment behind the bar? I use it when we have bands and sometimes when I get out of here to late to drive home. But knowing your situation it may come in handy if you guys need a place to crash or something."

"Actually Hannibal if we stay tonight I can start on these repairs in the morning. an I am pretty tired don't think I want to make the drive back to LA, and none of you guys are driving tonight."BA stated he didn't like anyone driving his van but no one was touching it after a long night of drinking.

"Mac if you don't mind us crashing there tonight that would be wonderful. I don't know if we could pull Murdock away tonight anyway." Hannibal said

"Captain if you don't mind we are gonna stay a few more days."

Murdock skipped back to where the rest of the men were standing around a tall bar table

"Sure Colonel what ever Mac needs." he couldn't hide the excitement in his voice.

"Well its settled. Mac if don't mind showing BA to the apartment. Sargent see if you can find a more discreet place to park the van it was fine for one night but if we are gonna be around for a few more days I don't want it to draw any attention."

"There is room to park it in the back by the apartment, its out of the way and out of sight from the road"

"Excellent, Guy's I think this is work out just fine, I love it when a plan come together "
