As Murdock placed their groceries on the counter for the cashier to ring up, Face felt the familiar feeling of someone watching him. He looked around. A tall woman with wavy blonde hair was standing by the door, gazing at him. As soon as he made eye contact with her, she smiled and slipped out the door.

"Uh, Murdock, I gotta go check something, you pay for the stuff, okay?" he told his friend as he moved to follow her.

Murdock looked up and saw the woman through the window of store front. "Fine, muchacho, but you'll owe me, and remember we're not staying in town here for long, so your date better be tonight." He grinned.

"Right," Face replied, not really listening as he headed out the door.

When he got outside, she was gesturing for him to join him by the alley at the side of the building. Obeying his hormones instead of common sense, as usual, he followed her.

"Hey, hot stuff, you new in town?" she asked, wiggling her eyebrows suggestively.

Face grinned. "Yeah, you offering to show me the sights?"

"Depends. Does he count?" Her voice lost the seductive edge as she gestured to a man standing behind a dumpster nearby.

Face looked up. "Decker."

"Peck." The man in the green uniform brought his gun up, and Face ran back around the corner.

Murdock was just coming out of the store with two full bags when Face raced by him. "Come on, Decker's on our trail!" he shouted.

The pilot dropped both bags and chased after Face to the 'Vette. They jumped in and pulled out of the parking lot, brakes squealing. Murdock looked behind them to see Decker jump into another car and pull out right after them. "Faceman, he's catching up..."

"I know, Murdock!" Face made a quick right turn from the left lane, causing someone in a red Honda to lay on the horn. However, this was not enough to lose their tail, as Decker followed close behind. Face made another quick turn...

...Only to end up at a dead end.

He jolted the car around, but Decker had already blocked the way out with his vehicle.

Defeated, Murdock and Face slowly got out of the 'Vette.

Decker had a smug grin on his face. Two men got out of the back of his car, and glared at Face and Murdock.

"Face. You *know* that practically every seductive blonde you meet is a trap," Hannibal scolded his lieutenant. "And Murdock, you shouldn't have let him leave the store alone."

BA looked just as annoyed. "Yeah, fool, don't be lettin' Faceman go off with some woman while you get groceries."

"If I were still with the military and we were really after you, we'd have gotten you for sure this time, Peck." Decker looked at Face coolly. "Smith, I believe you need to teach your men better discipline."

Hannibal grinned. "Couldn't agree with you more, Decker. Face, Murdock, you have a three-mile run back to the hotel. We're gonna get the groceries and then head back there; if you aren't there in fifteen minutes, you'll have to run here and back again. Get moving."

Face whined, "But Hannibal..."

"No buts! Fifteen minutes. Move." Hannibal was in his no-nonsense mood, and BA and Decker were looking like they'd enjoy watching the two younger men do strenous work.

Murdock looked at Face. "Hey, you were the one who followed her," he pointed out, then started running.

Face sighed. As he followed his friend, he couldn't help but think that life had been easier *before* Decker had changed sides.
