Radar fan: Poor BJ still has that stomach ache but why won't he tell Hawkeye? Well you'll just have to wait and see.
Post Op was BJ's next stop. All his patients were doing fine, even Franks patients had managed to skip Post Op infections this time. He went back through to Radar who was now mumbling in his sleep.
"Ok ma I'll clean out the cows in a minute", and BJ left through the office door.
When he returned to The Swamp he took 'The Last of the Mohicans' from Hawkeye's shelf. He had read the book before but he had to do something to take his mind off of his stomach.
6 o'clock rolled around and BJ had now fallen asleep through exhaustion. His head now full of dreams of being back home with his wife and his daughter and doing normal family things like spending time together. Radar came in quietly and shook Hawkeye.
"Hawk, Hawk, you got to get up the Colonel wants to see you"
"Tell him I'm busy"
"You got to come now sir"
"Ok I am up" Hawkeye said reluctantly.
Radar moved round the swamp to BJ's cot.
"BJ, BJ you got to get up"
"I don't want to," mumbled BJ who had had a minimal amount of sleep possible.
"You got to it's the Colonels orders," Radar informed.
"Oh all right I be there in a minute" Radar went back over to Hawkeye to make sure he was still awake, "Hawkeye".
"Yes I am still awake"
"Ok" and Radar left. BJ pulled himself out of bed and threw a pillow at Hawkeye to make sure he was awake. Hawkeye received it full in the chest.
"What is with everyone, I am awake!" he shouted waking Major Burns.
"What's all the noise about? Some people are trying to sleep you know"
"We know Frank and we want to be two of them" Frank turned over in disgust. BJ stood up and pain surged through his lower abdomen. He sat back down turned away from Hawkeye so he wouldn't see the look on his face and clutched his stomach.
"Are you alright BJ" Hawkeye asked concerned.
"Yeah I just dropped one of my Captains bars on the floor". He stood back up again and walked out The Swamp door with Hawkeye. After a morning stop at the latrines and a cup of 'coffee' in hand the duo reported to the Colonels office.
"About time too"
"Sorry had to grab a cup of supposed coffee to start the morning with".
Radar entered with his trusty clipboard in arm.
"I have called you all here at this dreadful hour because I need some urgent medical supplies to be delivered to another MASH unit and I thought you boys are the best people I have for this" the Colonel said as Radar filed some documents into the filing cabinet.
"Radar you can leave the filing for now because you're going too"
"Me sir? But I have forms to fill out and orders to be taken" Radar protested.
"Well I thought I would give you a break and let you do something more adventurous, so take a seat". Radar was never one to disobey orders so he sat in the chair next to BJ.
"So you three will take a jeep out of here and follow this map until you reach the MASH unit located there" said Colonel Potter pointing to a red cross on the map.
"The supplies are already packed and on the jeep so you can leave anytime you wish. Any questions?"
"Yeah" piped up Pierce, "how come me and BJ are going and not Frank?"
"Would you trust Frank with the enemy lurking everywhere"
"The enemy?" Radar asked.
"Yeah North Koreans, the Chinese" Hawkeye added.
"I know who the enemy are, it's just that we might be captured by them or something"
"Well that's a chance you'll have to take," said the Colonel.
"Thanks for the encouragement Colonel"
Hawkeye and BJ got up and walked out the office.
"Sirs can we have breakfast before we go?"
"Sure Radar" BJ said.
"We wouldn't want to deprive a growing boy of his brekkie now would we?" said Hawkeye cheekily. Radar left and went to brave the mess tent breakfast.
"That guys got a stronger stomach then I have," said Hawkeye.
"Yeah me too" BJ said. His stomach felt all knotted and he knew he couldn't handle eating.
Radar fan: see I promised I would update. It will probably be on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon when I next update due to some lovely mock exams coming up.
