"Its about time Henry, we were beginning to think you deserted." Hawkeye yelled over the commotion.

"Okay people, settle down...settle down now...I have an announcement to make." He put his hands up to quiet his troops. Surprisingly they complied, possibly because they had been sitting for a half an hour waiting for him.

"Tonight's lecture will be cancelled...due to the fact that I....well...dismissed!"

With that the confused group started out the doors, right after their CO made a B-Line for his tent.

Hawkeye and Trapper exchanged a quick glance and followed after him.

Entering his tent, they found their CO, scrounging to clean up the place.

"Henry, you getting ready to end it all or is this just spring cleaning in the winter?" Hawkeye offered, touching hanging lingerie on the line.

"Don't touch that!" He grabbed it away and threw it into a pile.

"Henry, what's up? What's all the commotion about?" Trapper asked watching his Colonel rampage through his tent.

Hawkeye finally grabbed his arm to stop him. "Breathe Henry; you're gonna give yourself a heart attack."

Henry stopped and looked at the two men. "We're having a visitor in camp."

Hawkeye clapped his hands and jumped up and down. "Oh Oh! A visitor, a visitor!"

"Get it together Pierce, this is no joke."

"Who is it Henry? MacArthur?" Trapper commented.

"No, nobody you guys would know."

"No body we would know huh? Well can we get to know 'em?" Hawkeye replied breathing a little hard from his previous jumping fit.

"PIERCE! This is not a joke...now why don't you two go do something useful?! And leave me be!"

"Useful? Henry this is a war, what usefulness' could we possibly be doing?"

"Dam nit Pierce, Macintyre, must you always know what is going on? Can't you just ever mind your own business?"

"Easy Henry, we just wanted to check and see what was up. You were acting odder than usual." Trapper replied, putting his hands up as if in innocence.

Henry finally threw the last piece of laundry into the pile and looked up at the doctors.

"OUT!" He pointed to the door.

"We're out, we're out." Hawkeye said in defense grabbing Trapper on the way out.

"Geez, whoever this visitor is, sure has Henry in knots." Trapper offered, straightening his jacket from the recent pulling.

"Who better to ask than the one who knows all?" Hawkeye replied.

Trapper thought. "God?"

"A little shorter." Hawkeye smiled.

"Radar."

The two then headed to their CO's office.
