B.A. got to the hospital doors looking out into the dark the ground wet from the rain that started. He growled thinking about his gold getting wet. He had no idea where the Captain and Colonel was at. One of the nice nurse's had given him the address to a motel that was close by and also giving him her phone number. He was flattered, wasn't very often that a beautiful woman gave him her number. But that was quickly put to the back of his mind as he walked outside the cold rain hitting his skin. Seemed like a perfect time to rain with all the emotion from the day.
Walking down the sidewalk he could hear mumbling off to his left though the sound of the rain. He couldn't make out what the person was mumbling, probably some homeless drunk. But as he got closer he could make out the familiar black ball shoes of the crazy pilot. "What you doin on the wet ground you crazy fool."
But Murdock continued to mumble while rolled up in a ball the rain drenching his cloths. "I don't wanna go back, ya can't make me."
"What you talkin about fool?" B.A. got down to one knee. "Lets get to da van where it's dry."
"I aint going back to that stupid chicken bucket, ya can't make me!" Murdock said kicking his feet out. "Stop that, I don't wanna be tickled…or fried!" He looked up at B.A. with his eyes wide and crazy. "You want a feather?"
"What?" B.A. watched Murdock sit up, the mud he was sitting on turning to a puddle as the rain came pouring even more making it hard to hear what the Pilot was saying. "What you going on about now? Now's not the time for one of your crazy spells. Get up!" He told him as Murdock's arms folded under his pits and started to move up and down.
"Baaaa bock bock booocckk! I a chicken! Boooock!" The pilot cried out his neck out pecking at the air. "I a chicken, chicken bite!" He said his face coming at B.A.'s gold chains. "Me likey gold shiny!"
B.A. stood up anger getting to him. "You go for my gold I punch your lights out you crazy fool!" Next thing he knew Murdock wrapped his arms around one of B.A.'s legs holding on for dear life begging him to not leave him. The distress in his voice tugged at the big guys heart strings. B.A. reached down patting him on the back. "Stand up, lets go to the van now." He told the soaking wet man not knowing how to deal with the odd break down he seemed to be having, since that was more of a Faceman thing. He was great at it.

"I need a room to myself Hannibal, I can't take watchin this crazy fool no longer." B.A. begged with his eyes. "He's completely nuts!"
"Now B.A. just go with the flow." Hannibal told him with humor as he looked at Murdock sitting in the middle of his bed. Blankets all around him in his man made nest.
"Boooock! OW!" He cried followed by a pop sound he made with his lips. "Ohhh! Its beautiful! My baby!" Murdock held his cupped hands in the air, his hands held empty space. "I'm new mama bird!" Murdock's crazy eyes stopped on B.A. "Come rest your eyes on the amazing golden egg!"
"What? There aint nothin there! Stop being an idiot!" B.A. looked back at Hannibal his eyes pleading. "I can't take him tonight Hannibal, I need to be in a quiet place."
"That's fine B.A. but all you have to do is play along and everything will be fine." He told him as he walked over to Murdock's bed. "What a lovely egg. Good job mama." He told the Captain patting him on his semi wet ball cap.
"You really think so boss?" He asked a big smile on his lips. "Booockkk! Booooocckkk!" He yelled his eyes grew big his lips coming together.
Hannibal looked a little worried at the face he was making. "You alright Captain?"
Murdock blew air out between his lips making fart noises, then puffs of them for to what felt like an hour to B.A. "Man this is crazy!" Murdock always got on his nerves with some of the stuff the crazy man came up with.
"Murdock?" Hannibal asked when he suddenly became quiet.
Murdock looked down at his nest his face in a frown. "Awww, thought it was ganna be another egg…just poop." He said his face looking up to Hannibal his brown eyes looking like a kicked puppy as his cheeks flushed with red.
"Look I can fly!" Murdock suddenly stood up his arms out stretched his face stone, turning facing the bottom of the bed he jumped flapping his arms as fast as he could up and down. Taking a leap of faith he flew or at least he thought he was.
B.A.'s eyes flew open as he watched the fool jump off the foot of the bed heading right for him. Murdock landed chest first right into B.A's head knocking them both to the ground. B.A. shoved at the added weight laying on top of him. "Get off me fool! We don't need another man down!"
Murdock rolled away and kept rolling until he ended up under Hannibal's bed. "Bed time!" He said trying to roll in a ball.
"Are you alright B.A?" Hannibal asked the big man laying on his back his face scrunched up in anger. He leaned down offering him a hand up.
"I'm fine, good thing da nuts light." He told him as Hannibal helped him stand. "I'm ganna go see if they got another room for me. I'll see ya in da mornin." He said walking out the door.
Hannibal walked over to Murdock's bed unmaking the nest and flattening the sheets and cover out. Smiling when it was neat again he sat down on the bed. Taking his shoes off he laid back. "Goodnight Murdock." But he got no response. Hannibal smiled as he lay there, his back will thank him in the morning now that B.A. was off to get his own room he didn't have to sleep in the chair like he planned.
