Hannibal left Face in Maggie's capable hands while he went to follow up on whether or not BA was able to get the attacker. He followed the hall to a dead end and then looked down one hallway to the right and one to the left. The hallway to the left had the only door marked exit and Hannibal figured, if he was looking to make a hasty retreat, that's where he'd go.

Opening the door, Hannibal stopped and smiled as he causally took out a cigar from his pocket and lit it. The security guard stood nearby looking as though he was in shock at the scene before him. "You want one?" Hannibal asked as the guard looked his way. "This might take a while."

BA continued to fight until the larger man started to wear down, he got a few good punches in as the attacker took a deep breath and swayed on his feet and Hannibal thought that it might be the end before the man doubled his efforts to go after BA again. The Sargent easily blocked the attempt and laughed when the man turned abruptly to try and flee. Grabbing him by the collar of his shirt, BA pulled him back toward him. "No you don't, sucka!"

"BA," Hannibal said after he noticed the assailant looked on the verge of collapse. "Stop playing with him and bring him over here so we can find out who he is and more importantly, who he's working for."

"C'mon," BA said dragging the man to his feet.

Maggie applied a fresh ice pack to Face's neck before she gently spoke. "Feel better?"

"Yeah," Face said with a nod as he took the ice pack away. "Thanks, Doc."

Maggie smiled easily. "It's my job," she said pushing his hand back up to his neck. "You'll probably have a nasty looking bruise tomorrow."

"Great," Face replied rolling his eyes.

"Could be worse," Maggie said mischievously. "You could be dead."

"I know, I owe you one," Face said seriously. "But, I want you to promise me one thing from now on, Doc."

"What's that?" Maggie said taking the ice pack away long enough to check the swelling.

"You won't ever use that gun, unless your life is in danger," Face said meeting her eyes. "If anything happened to you while trying to protect one of us, I don't think, I could live with that. You know what I mean?"

"Yes," Maggie replied thoughtfully. "But, I won't promise not to step in if it means someone's life hangs in the balance and I can help. However, I will promise to be more selective in the future about when I need to use it."

"Good enough," Face said with a smirk before gently squeezing her hand. "Hannibal's a lucky man."

"I keep telling him that but he don't seem to listen very well," Maggie said with a laugh as the colonel walked in quickly followed by BA. "Did you get him?" Maggie asked as Hannibal nodded toward BA.

"Sure did," Hannibal replied. "And, it appears Mr. Trigorin is in town and knows where we are. I think we should get Murdock and get out of here asap!"

"I'll talk to Doctor O'Fallon and see how soon he can be moved," Maggie replied. "In the meantime, we need to put security on his room."

"I've already done it," Hannibal said with a grin. "BA's going to take the next watch." Turning to observe Face a moment, Hannibal put a hand on his shoulder. "How you feeling, kid?"

"Okay," Face replied sullenly. "Just bruised my pride that's all. I can't believe, I let my guard down!"

"Why wouldn't you," Hannibal replied honestly. "This is a hospital, no one expects anything to happen here."

"Still," Face said angrily. "I knew better. You taught us to always be aware of our surroundings, Hannibal."

"Well, then let this be a learning experience," Hannibal said with a grin. "I bet you won't let it happen again, right?"

"Right," Face replied with a groan. "I don't even have my gun. It's at the hotel."

"Don't worry about it," Hannibal said sternly. "I don't want you to beat yourself up over it. We'll work on it, okay?"

"Okay," he said quietly as Hannibal moved over by BA. Face knew Hannibal was being reserved and it only succeeded in making him that much more angry at himself. The colonel would have under normal circumstances berated Face for allowing such a mishap to happen and he would have been right to do so. Face was his second in command and as such, he didn't make these kind of stupid mistakes. Taking on the role as the head of the EIA was making him sloppy and he didn't like it one bit.

"Good news," Maggie said upon her return to the waiting room. "Doctor O'Fallon said, if Murdock continues to do as well as he did today, he'll allow him to transfer into my care and he can leave the hospital tomorrow."

"That is good news," Hannibal said as BA agreed. Face's cell phone chose that moment to suddenly ring and they all stopped and watched silently as he answered it.

"Hey, Carla," Face said with a sigh as he listened to his sister's voice on the other end of the call. "Now! No, that's not possible...he's just going to have to wait!...We'll be there tomorrow at the earliest, I'll meet with the President then!...I don't care if he likes it or not! I'm not flying halfway around the world tonight just so he can have a conversation with me!...I'll call tomorrow when we're on our way and discuss what Hannibal found out!" Ending the call, Face ran a hand though his hair as he looked at Hannibal. "Apparently, the President is ready to move on the situation with Sarajevo and wants me to personally brief him and his cabinet members."

"Terrific," Hannibal said sympathetically as Face nodded.

"At least we were already planning on going home tomorrow," Maggie said with a wiry grin.
