Authors Note: This story may be a little confusing to read. So I wrote it in script mode and hope that you do enjoy it.
Summary: The A-team has been declared dead because no one has seen them for almost a year. All but four people believe this rumor and they bring it upon themselves to create the new A-team and look for the others.
Time: present day.
FaceGirl- Mandy Deck (age 24)
B.A.- Jason Pepper (age 23)
Murdock- Athena Williams (age 25)
Hannibal- George Johns (age 26)
The New A-Team part 10: On their way.
Billy: But they know everything!
Boss: I know. (and he hung up)
Billy started to get everyone's breakfast all together.
Right before Billy left the phone rang.
Billy: (picked up the phone) Billy's diner. Billy speaking.
Sammy: (apparently the "boss") You got any sodium fenedyene?
Billy: Yeah I got a little left. Why?
Sammy: I want you to put it into Murdock's food.
Billy: Why?
Sammy: Think you fool! They are going to have to fly here and Murdock is the only one that really knows how to fly. Drug him, he'll be out before they land and they will crash.
Billy: But I thought that you wanted the whole A-Team together.
Sammy: I want the whole A-Team dead! And I decided that I might have some fun torturing these two over here. So just do it! (and he hung up)
Billy went to the cabinet, took out the sodium fenedyene and put some onto Murdock's food. He then took the food out to Face and his friends.
Billy entered the room: Breakfast is here!
Athena: Food! Pop tarts! YEA!!!
Billy placed the food and drinks down in their appropriate places.
Murdock took the piece of pizza and stuffed the whole thing into his mouth: (before he swallowed) I'm ready. You guys ready?
Everyone looked at him.
Murdock: What?
Athena: He said (she shoved a whole pop tart in her mouth) 'I'm ready. You guys ready? (she sounded just like he did and once again no one could understand what was said)
Mandy: And what does that mean?
Athena and Murdock chewed, swallowed quickly, and coughed and at the same time: Look Bubbles!! (instead of laughing they just looked at each other)
Murdock: That's my line.
Athena: No it's mine.
Mandy: She ate a small bar of soap, coughed, and bubbles came out of her mouth.
Face: And how old were you?
Athena: 25. (Face gave her a weird look, like she was crazier then she actually was) What?
Mandy: What about you Murdock? What's your story for the "Look Bubbles" line?
Murdock couldn't answer he was in a coughing fit.
Face: Back in 1982, we were hired to save this girl who was being forced to get married. Well we, all four of us, got in by pretending to be waiters and we made a cake of cardboard and shaving cream, and Murdock stuck his finger in it and ate it. Ah, the good old days. (and he went back to his eating)
Athena: And you give me a weird look. He was older!
They were soon finished and they were driving to a nearby airport.
Mandy: How are we going to get a plane?
Face: All ready taken care of.
Mandy: You mean you already scammed one?
Face: Yup.
Mandy: Face what are we going to do for transportation?
Face: Oh thanks for reminding me. (he pulled out a cell phone and called someone) Adam? Hi! Templeton here. Remember how you said that if I ever needed any help that all I had to do was call? Well I need something done. I need you to pick up two vehicles for us and have them transported to the L.A. airport. And it has to be there by tonight. Yes tonight. I know that it is a little short notice. But I need it done. Okay there will be a silver corvette, license 543-YME, in front of the Washington Monument. And there will be a van in the airport here in Washington. It is black with a red stripe on it, license 911-U2U. Thanks.
Mandy: You know you are really something. (she said with a smile)
Face: Thanks. I think!
Mandy: No really thanks. I get to drive my vette around a little longer before I have to give it back.
Face: Sure anytime.
Athena: So we are going to fly?!!
Jason: No we aren't going in a plane! I refuse to go in a plane!!
Face took out a needle and some kind of liquid out of his pocket and whispered to Mandy: We used it all the time on our B.A. One prick and he's out cold. (saying to everyone else) All we need is someone to pretend to be sick.
Athena: OOOOOOOOOO!!! ME!! Please!! Me!!! PLEASE!!!!
Face: Ok B.A. you can be it.
Jason: I ain't gonna do it! Let the crazy girl do it.
Murdock: But I am going to show the crazy girl how to fly.
Athena: (that was it. After that she went off the handle) OOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! I'm gonna fly!!! I am going to fly a plane!!
Jason: Now there is NO way that I am going to go up in a plane with two crazy people flying it. (they reached the airport and stopped. Face and Athena switched places. Face handed the needle to George and George looked at Face.)
Mandy: (Whispered to George) It's the same thing that they used on B.A. to knock him out so that they could go up in the plane. (with that George knew exactly what to do)
Face put some rubbing alcohol onto Jason's neck and Jason never even realized that he did that.
Jason: Faceman, you are going to have to make up a new plan because I ain't going up! And there is no way that you are going to change my mind!!!
George: Of course not. (and he quickly pricked him with the needle. Jason was unconscious and his head hit the horn.)
Murdock: Why do they always hit the horn?
George and Face got out of the van and carried him to the airport.
When they reached the airport Face lead them to some lockers. They sat Jason on a chair. Face went to a locker and got what looked like doctor gowns out.
Mandy: What are they for?
Face: It's part of the disguise. (and he gave one to everyone)
Mandy: Oh too cool. (and everyone put it on. Face's was different. It was a doctor's jacket. Mandy looked at him)
Face: What? Someone has to be the doctor. Come on. (he and George took hold of Jason once more and walked to one of the flight attendants, everyone else just sat in the nice comfy chairs) Excuse me, ma'am. My patient has passed out. I need a stretcher down here quick.
Attendant: Of course. What is your name?
Face: Dr. Thomas.
Attendant: Are you the one who ordered the private jet?
Face: Yes! Now quickly. I need a stretcher.
Attendant: Yes sir. (and she was on the phone right away after talking to someone for a while she hung up the phone) They are on their way.
Face: Thank you. (turns around) Nurse Murphy? Nurse Murphy?
Mandy: (whispers) Murdock, he means you.
Murdock: Oh. (got up and walked over to Face) Yes, Doctor?
Face: Take Harry here and bring him to those seats over there and wait for the stretcher to come.
Murdock: Yes, doctor. (took a hold of Jason and left)
Face: So what's your name?
Attendant: Julie. (and they started to make small talk)
Mandy: (she saw the stretcher coming) I'll go get the doctor. (she walked over to Face) Doctor?
Face: Belinda, can't you see that I am talking to Julie?
Mandy: Yes doctor, but the stretcher is coming. (forgetting about what was going on he gave her a confused look) The stretcher. (still confused) The white bed thing, where people are placed on when they are knocked out.
Face: (finally remembering) Oh yes the stretcher.
Mandy: (grabs a hold of Face and drags him away) Come on Doctor.
Face: (to Julie) Call me!
Within the hour they were on the plane. Jason was sleeping comfortable in a passenger seat, and Face strapped him down.
Mandy: Why did you do that?
Face: So he doesn't kill us if he comes to.
Murdock and Athena were sitting in the front of the plane, while Face, George, and Mandy were sitting in the back.
George and Face took a cigar out from their inside pockets and lit them.
Athena: (plugged her nose with her fingers so that she could speak in a different voice) This is your co-pilot speaking. Please put your trays in their up-right position, and no smoking until we turn the "no smoking" sign off. (Face and George look at each other and shrugged their shoulders. They don't really care.) We will be taking off soon. Signing off!
They took off.
An hour goes by and nothing really happens. Mandy finally gets some sleep, for she hasn't been able to sleep ever since this mission began. George and Face were smoking their cigars and Face was telling him about his old A-Team missions and Jason was still sleeping, while Murdock was teaching Athena how to fly the plane.
Murdock has a painful look on his face.
Athena: Murdock, are you ok?
Murdock: Of course I am. Here I taught you how to hold the plane straight. Take a hold of her. I'll be right back. (and he ran off. At that moment there was a slight unbalance the plane wobbled for a few seconds and then went back to going straight. That is when Mandy woke up, saw Murdock run to the bathroom.)
Mandy: Face go and check up on Murdock. It looks like that Murdock #2 is flying the plane.
Face: (gets up) You mean to tell me that, that crazy girl up there is flying this? (Athena walks into the back and sat down)
Mandy: (grabbed Athena) What a kidder! (and brought her back to the cabin. While Face went to check up on Murdock.)
Mandy: Murdock, do you know how to fly on of these things?
Athena: Sure I do. Murdock showed me how to fly. Face look! I'm flying! I'm finally flying! (she forgot what she was doing and the plane started to go down, just a little)
Mandy: Murdock! Keep your eyes on the ro... just keep your eyes opened and don't crash us.
Murdock: (Came back Mandy got up and Murdock sat down next to Athena again) I feel better. I never got airsickness before. (he started to sweat bullets.)
Mandy: Murdock, are you okay? It looks like you are running a fever!
Murdock: I am fine Facegirl. Don't you worry. Murdock, give me the controls.
Athena: Sure. Thanks! It was a lot of fun!!
Murdock: Good. (and he passed out, making the control go down and the plane too)
Mandy: Face!!! Hannibal!!! Get here quick!!!! (George and Face got in there fast, saw him and before anyone could say a word Mandy said) He's sick and unconscious! Move him!! (they did so) Murdock, (she sat back down next to Athena) get us back into the air!
Athena was all calm and cool and got the plane back up. Mandy thought to herself: How the heck can she be so calm. I'm not even flying the plane and I am sweating bullets!!
Face: Athena, it would be ridiculous for me to ask, but did Murdock show you how to land the plane?
Athena: No.
Face: So what's going to happen?
Athena: Well considering with the fuel that we have left, we can make it to L.A. and still have fuel.
Mandy: But?
Athena: But if we can't get Murdock up in time to tell how to land this bird then we are going to crash.
Mandy: No, Athena really what's going to happen.
Athena: We are going to crash, and die.
Mandy: Oh boy. (she runs over to where Face and George put Murdock) Murdock!! Get up!! Get up!!!
Face: Mandy, that's not going to do anything.
Mandy: Then what are we going to do?
George: Mandy, go get some cold water and a sponge and try to cool him down. I am going to try and find some of that smelly stuff that can wake someone up when they are passed out and see if that does anything. Face, you stay here with the Murdocks and make sure that Athena doesn't get out of hand.
Athena: (Jumps up) What about me colonel?
George: Sit down and fly!
Athena: (Salutes him) Yes colonel!! (and then she sits back down)
Mandy and George left and looked for their items.
It was a matter of minutes before Mandy came back with a bowl of cold water and a sponge. She soaked the sponge and started to wet Murdock's face and neck and tried to wake him up.
It was quiet except for Mandy's little whispers to Murdock.
After what seemed like forever passed by when George came in.
Mandy: Hannibal did you find any of that smelly stuff?
George: (sadly) No. Murdock, how much longer do we have?
Athena: Well, we will be in L.A. within the hour.
George: Well do your best and maybe one of the tower guards can help us down.
Athena: Hopefully.
A half an hour has gone by and nothing has changed. Murdock was still out cold and Athena was still flying.
Mandy: (still trying to cool Murdock down) Murdock, we need you now. We really need you. Come on back and show Athena how to land us. We are all counting on you. And so are B.A. and Hannibal. (with that Murdock moved his head and groaned) Hannibal he's awake.
Murdock tried to get up and screamed with pain.
Mandy: Sit still Murdock. You are quite sick.
Murdock: But I have to land the plane.
Face: Not like that you can't.
George: Athena has been doing a great job at flying this plane. I am sure that if you can just tell her what to do she can land this bird.
Murdock: (tried to move felt the pain) Maybe you are right!!
Athena: Murdock what are we to do we are almost there.
****Murdock: Okay Athena you see that flashing light?
Athena: The one that says low fuel?
Everyone but Murdock who had a little smile on his face: What?!!
Athena: I am just kidding I am just trying to lighten the mood. And nobody seems to be laughing. Okay yeah I see it.
Murdock: Push that in. (Athena does so)
Athena: Murdock, I can see the airport. It's really small, but I can see it.
Murdock: You have to slow the plane down. Pull down on that object that looks just a big light switch. (Athena quickly finds it and pulls it down)
Athena: Murdock, I can see the airport really good.
Murdock: Athena, we have only one chance to do this correctly. Not to pressure you, but I think that you should know. Anyway right in front of you, you can see a screen with an airplane on it right?
Athena: Yeah.
Murdock: You are going to want to get that plane right smack in the middle of the screen. How close are we to the airport?
Athena: Close.
Murdock: Push the button down that says tire release. (Athena does so). Mandy, get on the CB and tell the tower guard that we need an emergency landing and that we might come down a little hard so everyone should stay clear. (Mandy did so)
Murdock continues: Okay Athena, you see the runway? (Athena nods her head) Good now slowly push the control stick all the way down and when you hit the ground pull the switch that says Emergency stop on the left side of you.
Athena did everything. They landed with a big THUMP and everyone went flying everywhere. Athena pulled the switch and the plane was slowing down fast. Quite fast!
Athena: We aren't going to stop in time! We are going to hit the airport! (They got really close, but as soon as the plane was about to hit the building it stopped. Everyone was on the floor except for Murdock and Athena) Now you see that is why you wear your seat belt.
Everyone started shouting with joy! Everyone was all right. Everyone but Murdock.
Mandy: Face, get the stretcher. Hannibal, go and wake up B.A. Murdock, you help me help Murdock get up.
George: Who's the Colonel now?
Mandy: Sorry, I am just nervous. You want to say something?
George: Yeah. Face, get the stretcher. I will go and wake B.A. up. Athena and Mandy you two help Murdock get up.
Mandy: Now why didn't I think of that? (George just shrugged his shoulders)
Jason was up and out of the straps before anyone could untie him! And he was angry!
Jason: I cannot believe that you did what you did!
Mandy: Not now B.A. we have to get Murdock to a hospital as soon as possible.
Jason stopped being so mean figuring he could be mean later. He helped Murdock get to the stretcher. George opened the door. Mandy, Athena, and Face all walked out. Jason and George carried the stretcher out of the plane.
Mandy: B.A., go and get the Van. Face, go and get the vette and we will meet you around the front. (and they ran off)
George: Great! The only fastest way to the front of the building is going through it and they are going to be asking a lot of questions.
Mandy: One thing at a time! Please Hannibal!!
They ran into the building. Mandy saw an attendant and ran up to him: I am so sorry...
The attendant interrupted her: Dr. Thomas already explained. Go.
Mandy ran back to the stretcher to help push it. She, George and Athena were running as fast as they could. And Athena said: Hang in there Murdock. We are getting you to a hospital soon. Very soon!
They were outside the airport in a matter of minutes and the van and vette was out there waiting for them.
Jason and George got the stretcher into the back of the van.
Face: Follow us. I know where a close hospital is.
Jason, George and Athena got into the Van with them. Face and Mandy got into the vette and drove off.
In the Van......
Athena: (Takes a hold of Murdock's hand) It's all right Murdock. Just hang in there. We are going to get you to a hospital soon.
In the vette.....
Mandy: I hope that he will be all right.
Face: Oh you bet he is going to be all right. He went through a lot. He once took a bullet for Hannibal and almost died. And there were a lot others too.
Mandy: At least you knew what was wrong when he got shot. He could be dying and we don't even know it.
Face: It's going to be okay Mandy. Murdock will be okay.
Mandy: I hope so.
About ten minutes later, they finally got to the hospital. Mandy and Face ran in to tell them what was happening.
When Jason, George, and Athena got Murdock in the nurses were waiting for him.
Nurse: Miss....
Mandy: Call me Paige.
Nurse: Paige, my name is Tommy. I need to ask you a few questions. What is the name of our patient?
Mandy: Harry Mason and we all have no clue what could be wrong with him.
Tommy: Are you family?
Mandy: No, no he has no family. We are the closest thing to family for him.
Tommy: All right as soon as the doctor is done checking him over he will be right out to talk to you guys.
Mandy: Thank you Tommy. (Tommy smiled and left)
After a good hour the doctor came out and said: We found 10cc's of sodium fenedyene in him. We got him stabilized, but he is not too good.
Mandy: How long would he have to be in here?
Doctor: One maybe two days tops.
While they were talking Face thought that he saw Harry the Hammer. He shivered. He scared him more then Sammy did. But Face just shook it off. He knew that Harry was still in jail and would be in there for a long time.
The doctor left and Mandy and Athena sat down in a comfy seat.
Mandy: I think that we should take turns staying here.
Face: Good idea.
Athena: (jumps up) I will stay!!
George: Murdock, I think that you should take over the night shift because you need to get some rest now.
Face, George, Jason, and Athena went out to get some hotel rooms.
That night.....
Face was right it was Harry the Hammer. He was in Murdock's room Athena had gotten up to get something to eat.
Harry: Finally once and for all I will get rid of you Murdock.
He got a needle out of his pocket, very deadly, and got positioned to inject it............
To Be Continued....
**** I very highly doubt that this is how you land a plane. PLEASE do not believe that. I have no clue how to land or how to fly a plane. I made it up as I went a long. It is not true!!!
