"We're only AWOL becase we're absent without leave"
By: Trivette Lover Heather
"RADAR!!!!"
Radar already half way through the doors...
"Yes sir?"
"Where in da hell is Hunnicutt? He's been AWOL for four hours."
"I don't know sir...I could get on the horn and ask around."
"Why don't you get on the horn and ask around Radar" He sighed.
"Yes Sir. Right away sir."
Potter headed straight for the SWAMP if anyone knew where BJ was, it was Pierce. He was however, asleep when the Colonel came in.
"Pierce."
"Go away." He rustled under the covers. "I've been drafted and I can't get up."
"Pierce, its Hunnicutt, he's gone AWOL."
Hawkeye came out from under the covers.
"Since when?" He said following a yawn.
"Four hours ago, far as I can figure."
"He's nowhere in camp, you looked everywhere..."
"And here I was hoping you could help the situation...of course we looked everywhere..."
Hawkeye slipped his boots on. "Well I'll go look for him."
"Oh no you don't, we're fit to get some heavy shelling and fighting soon, I can't let all my surgeons leave the camp. You're staying here."
"Colonel, if we're getting heavy shelling, that means BJ is in even more danger than usual in this damn place. Ya gotta send a chopper up...anything."
"Sorry son, Radar is on the horn, you can blare your complaints on him, I've got orders of heavy casualties due in."
"Alright." Hawkeye gave up. "I'll go sit with Radar."

"No luck sir"
"Any luck Radar?" Hawk stumbled in a cup of something that resembled coffee in his hands. "Will you quit reading my mind?"
"Sorry sir. I've called all the surrounding units no sign of Doctor Hunnicutt."
"Where in the heck would he go? Or more importantly why?" He sipped his coffee.
"Yea this is Radar...how ya doin... look one of our surgeons is AWOL...ya got any extra doctors roaming around."
Radars face turned white and Hawkeye couldn't help but notice the change in complexion.
"Are ya sure? Alright well get back with us as soon as you know...right we know...thanks." Radar set the phone down and looked up.
"What is it Radar...you find him?"
"Sorta sir...seems they just got a new shipment of wounded and one of the bodies had medical insignia on it...they're gonna check his status, but they're pretty sure he didn't make it. They're gonna call back as soon as things get settled down."
Hawkeye's face in turn got whiter. "Tell those idiots, we need to know now! Get em back!"
