Murdock's Crazylady and Retard Mel, Now Susie and Red also
G for now..
Disclaimer: I don't own the team. Not that I wouldn't mind having Dwight for a big brother though, I do own CrazyKid and Melly, they are my true child side, and Melly is a true friend of mine. He knows about this story, and is helping me write it. I sorta own Sky, but Susie owns half too, since it's loosely based on her as a kid.

SKY'S NOW A MAIN CHARECTER! YAY! ENJOY HER!!



The sun is setting....



"Gosh it's dawk. Dere's a nother vent!" CK said as she sneezed from the dust and wiped her nose on her shoulder. Seeing the vent ahead getting closer, quietly crawled over to it. She stifled a sneeze, just in case someone was below in the room to hear her. CK got close enough and looked down, and smiled. It was the kitchen! CK was so glad, she'd made it to the kitchen! That was real close to the CW, and plus, it was closed now, which meant no one would catch her sneaking in!



Pulling the pick back out of her overalls, CK pried the vent's screw on the one side and after it stopped swinging, she climbed out and landed on a long silver counter. CK put the pick back away and looking around, she carefully climbed down from the counter. Then she silently walked over to the door and unlocked it, (thankfully it locked from the inside)and peeked out. The halls were clear, without a single orderly or nurse in site. Smiling, CK ran as fast as she could towards the nearest computer. She had to make one stop before the comy, but She had an idea, and all she needed to suceed was a PC, her hacking skills, and her own determination.

"What're you doing Murdock?" Face sat up and asked. It had ben an hour since lights out, and Murdock hadn't turned his flashlight off the whole time. He kept flashing it around the room like a light house. Then he'd wave it all around the cieling, write his name until Face was about to scream. "I cain't sleep Face. I'm used to CrazyKid's montior light shining in my eyes. I miss er, Face." Murdock said sadly as he clicked his light off. "You do, big broder?" CK asked, standing in the doorway. "CrazyKid!" Murdock yelled leaping off of his bed, lunging right for his sister.



"Yaaa!" Ck yelled as he hit her so hard she fell backwards onto the floor. She was glas she hadn't fallen too hard, and it felt good to have her big brother's arms around her again. "I gots ta go an fine Melly...I come back den. I wuv you, Muwdock." CK said hugging him again."But how did you.." Murdock asked, wondering how she'd escaped. "I splain yater, o-tay?" CK said and he nodded. "Hey, watch out you don't get caught by the colonel." Face said, shocking both Murdocks.



"You mean you ain't gonna tell, Face?" The older Murdock asked. "I didn't see a thing. It wasn't right for you and Mel to be split up. Punished, yes. Seperated for good? no." Face said and CK ran over, jumped up onto his bed and hugged him. "Tank you, Facey." CK said and he kissed her head. "Just don't get caught, okay?" Face said and CK giggled as she climbed down.



"And uh, CrazyKid.." Face said again as CK stood in the doorway shocked by hearing her first name. She turned and looked at him. "Yeah Facey?" CK asked. "Go hack em." Facey said, giving CK a smile. CK gave him a smile and a thumbs up. "You know I will, Facey!" I smiled and ran out, right for the place I knew I could go to find my friend. TMC. Or, The Main Computer.



As CK walked down the halls, trying to quietly get to a computer, it was just her great luck to run into the one person she was happy to see. "Sky, I gotta go, I..." CK said to her quickly. "What's up? I heared you was in solitary." Sky said, but her words were cut short as CK saw BA coming and dove into one of the empty rooms, scaring her.



"Why'd you do that? I can't stand dark places!!" Sky, asked shaking. "C'mon! get under the bed! Iffin BA catches us, us ain't gonna see no day yight no more!" CK said as they both dove underneath one of the beds. Sky had the shakes, her fear of the dark setting in. They soon heard BA's gold rattle by, and CK took a deep breath.



"C'mon. I'll splain on the way." CK said helping Sky out from under the bed. She was almost catatonic, and she barely nodded. CK opened the door slowly and peeked out. BA was long gone, and they went out into the hall. The lights in the hall revived Sky after a few seconds, and she came back to life. CK walked down the East wing and took her along right into the library. There, in the center of the big room was what CK had come for. A computer! CK walked over and sat right down at the PC, cracking her fingers. Sky stood nearby, nervously looking around.



"Let's get it on!" CK said as she began to open files, hack into important ones, and erase others. As CK continued to glide over the keys, tapping each one in percise order, Sky watched quietly but shocked. Five minutes later, CK hit enter for the last time and looked at Sky with a sneaky smile. "Now what?" Sky asked. "Us finish us mission. Dat what." CK replied, and Sky looked a little afraid. "Will you puhlease tell me what goin on sirst?" Sky asked. CK took a deep breath.



"Me and Melly pranked grampa an he said we can't see us selves nomore an maked me moved away from big broder an i scaped an now you an me goin ta help Melly. Kay?" CK explained, pretty much summing it up. "We? what?!" Sky asked, pointing to herself, her eyes wide. "Uh huh. You wit me?" CK asked as she turned to leave. "I can't belief I gonna say dis...but...o-tay, let's go. You tell me what I do an I does my bestest ta do it, o-tay?" Sky replied and CK smiled. "Gweat! Yet's go!" CK said and they ran out, quietly, on the trail to saving Mel.



*************



The click sounded like it. But was he hearing things? This is what Mel asked himself as he woke up an hour after being sedated. He'd thought he'd heard the door unlock. *But nobody camed in, why?* Mel thought to himself, as he lay on his bed, not sure of his ears were playing tricks on him or not. Then he heard whispering, and playied like he was asleep, so that if it was the nurse again, she wouldn't try to put him back to sleep for real.



*************



"Kay, you keep a eyeball out an make a youd sound iffin you sees BA, wolf or grampa, an lemme know." CK said as she snd Sky stood outside of Melly's door whispering. Sky nodded. "Gots it. Good yucky." Sky replied as she went into her normal routine of skipping in a circle, from blue tile to blue tile on the floor, being careful not to touch a white one in between.



CK turned her head and reached for the door knob. She slowly opened it and went in, closing the door almost the whole way. CK immeadiately looked around the room for Melly. Then her eyes stopped on a Melly sized lump under a '2 Stpid Dogs' comforter and CK silently said, "Melly..." As she ran over to his bed, going over the padded floor as carefully as she could so she wouldn't fall. CK hit her knees beside the bed, and looked at Melly right in the face. "I bet dat Wolf KO'ed him!!" CK whispered, just as Melly's eyes shot open! CK was so shocked, she fell backwards onto her butt, and he sat straight up in bed, looking at her in disbelief.



"But how?..who..when...HOW??" Mel asked and CK giggled. "Where dere's a computer dere's a way!" CK replied as she sat with her legs crossed. "But how did you find me, CK? How'd you scape your cell an Ba?" Mel asked as he rubbed his eyes. "Sirst I used Face's lock pic ta open a air thingie in my cell, an then I cwaled in an maked it to dhe kitchen an climbed out an goed ta see big broder an dey knows I doin dis! Facey eben! he say he dinnit see nofin! Dat mean he ain't gonna he a high chair bird an tell! Den I hacked inta TMC, an finded out where you gettiny ou meds an here I comed! I runned inta Sky and she sayed she help too. Wolf dinnit huwt you, did he?" CK asked.



"Noper. Cept I had a eppy an the nurse put me out...Worf made me mad cos he said we was forbedden ta see us again." Mel explained, as he got out of bed and stretched. CK stood up and hugged him. Mel blushed and hugged her back. "Welcome back, pardner." CK said, and Melly smiled. "Thanks, CK." They broke the embrace, and Melly gave her one of his sneaky smiles. "Let's get outta here!" Melly said, not letting CK ask anything more about his attack earlier. "Kay." CK answered, holding his hand, she followed him to the door.



That's when Sky burst into the door and nearly hit CK with it, screaming, "Wolf offa the starboard bow captain!! WUN!!" CK heard this and squeezed Melly's hand. "Dammit!!" CK yelled as she, Melly and Sky tore off and ran down the hall for one of their hiding spots. "Dey musta knowed now dat I gone!" CK said as they ran. Sky looked back and replied, "We gots bogeys on our tails!" Then, suddenly, Hannibal appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the hallway ahead of them, and everything went into slow motion as all 3 of the kids saw him and tried to stop, but at the speed they were running across the slick tiled floor, they all began to slip and slide, right across the ammonia smelling floor, headed right for Hannibal!

*****

CK fell first, then Sky, and then Mel, whom landed hard like the girls. It felt like the floor was being yanked from under their feet. Mel slid into the wall on the right, and Sky followed. landing next to him. CK, CK had slid and fell, and continued to slide until BOOM! She landed against Hannibal's legs and saw stars.



Seeing where CK had landed, Sky gasped and Melly looked shocked but determined. CK sat up and shook her swimming head, rubbing the back of it. Then she looked up and ahead, she saw Wof and BA, a few nurses, and then Murdock and Face. Then CK swallowed and looked straight up. CK gave Hannibal a small wave and smile. "Uh, hi grampa..he..he.." Ck said knowing already that they were all in big trouble. Hannibal glared at her, then at Sky, but mostly at Mel. He felt that 'That Boy' was the whole reason for this whole mess. No one dared breathe as Hannibal crossed his arms in front of his chest.



"What are you doing here? How did you get from your room to here? Why did you get the girls mixed up into this?" Hannibal growled at Mel. Melly smiled sneakily. "I take the 5th." Mel replied, unfazed by Hannibal's unnervingly stern voice. CK looked at mel in disbelief. He sure had the guts! She would back talk anyone, including Worf, but not Hannibal. "The fifth? You've got a smart mouth, Boy." Hannibal said and Mel smiled proudly. "And what do you have in this?" Hannibal asked Sky, but not as sternly. Sky jumped at hearing her name and looked at him.



"I..I...Uh, I jus keeped my eyeball out, dat all." Sky answered afraid. "So you had no idea what he was up to?" Hannibal asked her. Before Sky opened her mouth, Melly nudged her in the side, and Sky caught on. She shook her head no. "Uh-uh." She replied and Hannibal saw no reason to punish her. "You go with Worf back to the children's wing and stay there. If I catch you over here anymore today, you'll be grounded to your room." Hannibal said in almost his normal tone. He'd never had a problem with her, and and he knew by her recirds that she'd never gotten into trouble before. Sky nodded as Worf took her hand, she gave CK a smile and a wave as she left, telling CK good luck.



CK smiled back and soon she and Worf disappeared around the corner. "And you, younglady..." Hannibal said turning his attention and again sern voice to CK. CK cringed and looked up, she'd almost forgotten he was even there. "What are you doing in this? Why didn't you tell someone if he's been threatening to hit you?" Hannibal asked, and CK was confused. Mel lost his smile as CK looked at him for answers. CK looked from Mel to Hannibal. "But...But..." Was all Ck could say in her confused state. Hannibal's eyes were now mere slits. "The only butt around here is yours and it's not going to be very comfortable to sit on pretty soon. Now tell me what happened. Why didn't you tell someone about his threats?" Hannibal asked, and CK swallowed.



Unlike before, she knew he meant it this time. "He neber hitted me! OR sayed he were gonna! You the one who yell an hit. Not Melly." CK replied, not meaning to sound cocky, but doing so anyways. "You are getting too big for those britches, CrazyKid." Hannibal said, and CK scowled and remained quiet. There it was, her real name again! CK knew she knew better. The point was, right now, she didn't care.

"BA, take CK back to the room across from my quarters. Don't leave her unguarded, and find a way to seal that vent so she can't escape again." Hannibal said and BA came over. CK stood up and looked at Hannibal. "I is not. Dey fits jus fine!" CK said, meaning to be rude this time. Hannibal didn't reply, and BA put his hand on CK's shoulder. CK gave Hannibal a snarlish look as she turned and walked with BA back to her room/cell.



Mel was the only one left. Hannibal turned to him after he was sure CK and BA were far enough out of ear shot. "You will be being tranferred to another VA. I am trying to run a hospital, not a juvenille hall. I know you have problems, but not any that would cause you to act as you have been." Hannibal said as he saw Worf returning from taking Sky back to the CW. "Sky is back on the CW. She had one of her attacks and fell asleep. The nurses told me she'll be okay." Worf said as he walked back over to Hannibal. Hannibal nodded okay with a smile. "She's a good kid." Hannibal replied.



"Take Mel back to his room, and do the same with him, except for be ready to pack his things." Hannibal said as Mel stood up. "I can do it myself. I don't need or want you help!" Mel said, and Hannibal nodded. "Fine. I will see you off in the morning." Hannibal said. Worf took Mel, and put him back in his room. Hannibal sighed and walked back to his office. He had plenty of phone calls to make.
