Disclaimer- I own nothing involving the A-team. I just like writing stories about them.
Title- Recesses of the Mind
Summery- Pike is mad that the A-team is always stealing his jobs. So he decides to get back at them and hurting Murdock is his way of doing it. Rape/Torture
Pike is back for revenge against Murdock for being labeled a suspect. Due to the amount of point of view changes in this chapter it going to be everyone's POV, but I will make sure you can tell who is thinking.

Everyone's POV

"Well considering the circumstance, he is eligible for a honorable discharge." Morrison told the three of them. "He did accept it before, when this happened in the POW camp, and probably will this time." They were all seated around the table listening to Morrison. He had called them to talk to them when the news reached him. It was the day after they had taken him to the hospital, and none of them had slept a wink. This was news they were expecting to hear but it was killing them all the same.
"I understand, but what if by chance he does decide against it?" Hannibal asked trying to remain somewhat hopeful, even if the chances were against him.
"Well, personally, I think you have a chance at that. We all know how he hates mental hospitals, and that's where he would be sent. Hannibal, I know he is your friend and you want to protect him, but I'm sure this will have after affects. Are you sure you can deal with it? It's a lot of responsibility, and can be frustrating. He probably won't want anyone touching him, and be more skittish than usual. Also, he's bound to have an increase of nightmares. These are things you will all have to cope with, and have to help him though. It won't be easy. Personally, I'd rather see him stay here with you boys though because I think that it would be better for him than being confined in a mental hospital with people who don't give a damn about him. Morrison finished, cautioning the team on what was coming in the future.
Face spoke up then. "He's my best friend. Of course I'd be willing to help him though whatever complications he has, no matter how frustrating they are." He was insulted that Morrison thought they were incapable of helping their friend. He was more willing to help Murdock. He deserved the support, and wouldn't even have to ask him for it, as far as he was concerned he already had it.
BA then joined Face's side by shaking his head and agreeing. "Ya, the fool may get on my nerves but he still deserves to know that we all have his back." Hannibal nodded and looked at Morrison.
"Alright, I'll give him his options, and hopefully you guys will get him back, but remember helping him recover physically is easier than mentally." Morrison told them giving them all a serious expression. "So you think it was Pike, Hannibal."
"Yes, I know it was. I already told you what he told me. Who else would do something so sadistic?" Hannibal said grimly.
Morrison shook his head but looked grim. "Black forest is not subject to military jurisdiction. That means he won't be charged for it."
Face and BA jumped out of their chairs. "You mean he is going to get away with this!" screamed Face.
"No, he won't. I'll punish the fool myself with my fists." Said BA punching his open hand with his fist in a threatening manner.
Morrison motioned for them to move closer and whispered "Well, if something bad does happen to befall Pike I don't think the base would look into too much, if catch my drift." Morrison said with a wink. The three grinned around the table knowing that now they could get even without worrying about getting caught. "I'll go visit Murdock later today and give him his options."
Pike was pissed about what was happening. Yesterday he had been brought in for a blood test and told he was suspect of that asshole's rape. He was sure he would never tell anyone afterwards. Now he knew he would be caught, not that anything would happen to him, but his reputation would be tarnished. He was going to get revenge, and what better way than forcing him to relive his terrible experience. With an evil grin he walked into the med. tent and sprayed the nurse behind the desk with laughing gas to knock her out. He had stolen it earlier when he was there. He then found what part of the tent his victim was at and headed toward it. Since it was a little past midnight he was sure that the amount of nurses was limited and that he could sneak fairly easily without causing suspicion.
Face couldn't sleep, not with friend in such a terrible condition. They hadn't been able to see him today. He had received the blood transfusion, but was still weak, and the nurses decided that he couldn't have visitors because he had a bad nightmare earlier and received more of the heavy sedative he was on the day before. Face really wanted to talk to him, but knew that getting to see him would be difficult. Looking around the tent he noticed Hannibal and BA had finally fallen asleep. He got up and put some clothes on deciding that conning his way into seeing his friend wouldn't be so difficult, and whether he was awake it would sooth his conscience temporarily just to see that he was okay. He began heading for the med. tent.
Pike was walking though the tent trying to find his way around. It was harder than he expected in the dark. He had cursed when he accidentally kicked a few things and injured his big toe, but kept moving. He was here for a reason, he had a mission to complete. It seemed like an eternity before he finally reached the so called 'room' where Murdock was kept. Really the tent was just sectioned off by creating walls out of tent material or fabric. He opened the fabric and walked into Murdock's personal section.
Murdock was awakened from his slumber by a loud noise and then he heard someone cursing. He was immediately on edge because he knew all the nurses' carried flashlights. That meant a patient was escaping, which was not uncommon, he had tried it himself a few times, or that someone that wasn't supposed to be here was. He kept listening for noises and heard the footstep continue to grow louder. He was growing increasingly nervous and started to fidget. The flap to his room was opened and he was shocked and scared to see Pike standing in the doorway. He tried to get up to get away but was far too weak and dizzy from all the medication. Pike smirked at him and said "Miss me? Now you haven't been very good have you. I was told that I was a suspect so it looks like you've been running your annoying little mouth. Looks like we will have to fix that now won't we." He was walking toward him now and had closed the tent flap. Murdock was trying to struggle and was about to scream when Pike put his hand over his mouth.
Face walked into the med. tent and was extremely suspicious to see the nurse at the check in desk asleep. He walked up and tried to shake her awake but she was out cold. Also, the room list book was open and on the page where Murdock's room number was listed. This sent him into overdrive and he started running to check on his friend.
Pike crawled on top of Murdock and smirked down at him. Murdock was terrified and making noises even though Pike's hand still remained over his mouth. "Scream and you'll regret it." Pike warned removing his hand. Murdock took head to the warning and started pleading with him. Pike only smirked more and started running his hand along his victum's sides listening to him whimper helplessly. When he started to tremble Pike was only encouraged further. He leaned down to whisper into his victum's ear "This will teach you to keep your mouth shut."
Murdock was begging Pike now. "Stop. Please don't." He closed his eyes not wanting to see what was going on. It terrified him and he was too weak to do anything about it. He felt Pike's hand touch his hip and he began to whimper, and tremble. He heard him whisper to him and it was true that he did tell the nurses the truth. He wasn't going to sit idly and terrified and let Pike get away with it. Now however he was scared and could only lay there and let Pike do whatever he wanted. He did struggle but nothing that was hindering Pike any, if anything it encouraged him more. He just kept his eyes closed waiting for what was to come.
Face had reached Murdock's room and threw the flap open and was even more startled at the scene in front of him. Pike was laying on top of his friend making his intentions clear. However, he had turned around to face him when the flap was opened and had a look of 'Oh shit' on his face. Face recovered quickly and felt his blood boil. How dare Pike sneak in here, of all places, and go after his friend again. He pulled Pike off Murdock and then punched him hard in the eye. Pike stumbled back and Face prepared to strike again, but Pike took off like he was fighting the Devil himself and darted out or the room before Face could catch him. He was one lucky bastard for sure.
With the immediate threat gone Face turned his attention to his friend. He still had his eyes closed and was whimpering. He ran over to him saying "Murdock! Murdock, it's alright. I'm here now." He was using hushed tones to calm him down now. Murdock opened his eyes and looked at him. The fear was evident in his friends eyes and it was killing him. He helped him up into a sitting position and felt him trembling. After he was up and seated Murdock practically jumped forward and hugged Face who was also sitting on the bed. Murdock was crying and shaking as he gripped Face tightly. Face was rubbing his back and whispering words of comfort to him. After a while, Face was starting to cramp up and noticed his friends grip loosen. He moved than so he was leaning against the head of the bed with Murdock leaning against him with his head on his shoulder. Murdock was very close to falling asleep, and Face continued to rub his back hoping to lull him to sleep. He was preparing for a long night.
As the hours passed he absently wondered if this was what Morrison was talking about. It really wasn't that bad, and he would rather have it this way than not knowing what his friend was going though. That would be awful for all of them. He would have to tell Hannibal and BA what had happened and make sure the hospital stepped up security on their friend. Nothing was going to happen to him, even if Face had to stay up guarding him himself. He felt movement from the figure currently leaning on him and looked down.
Murdock was waking up and turned to look at him. He thanked him quietly and looked away. Face reached out and gently turned his head so he was looking at him. "Are you okay?" he asked gently, deeply concerned. Murdock shook his head and shivered slightly. Face noticed that he must have been cold and took off his jacket placing it around his friends shoulders. Murdock smiled at him gently and pulled the jacket closer to him curling in on himself to preserve more heat.
"So I guess you will going back to the tent now to sleep." Murdock said looking down and sounding shaky.
Face shook his head no and replied "I'm staying here until I'm sure that you will be safe and protected." At that Murdock looked up at him surprised.
"But you need to sleep too Face. I mean you could stay here and sleep…." Murdock trailed off and looked like he was searching for the right words. Face understood what he was saying. They were close friends and it wasn't like they hadn't slept in the same bed together before. Sometimes when they went places the team only had two beds and there was no way BA and Murdock were going to share. Honestly though none of them thought anything of it.
"I know what you mean buddy." Face said and helped him lay down. He then laid down next to him not touching him and pulled the blanket over him. Now that Face was sure he was okay and that he was here for him he slept better.
The next morning as soon as there were enough nurses around he got up and left Murdock to sleep. He would come back later with BA and Hannibal. He walked up to one of the nurses and told them what happened. He was then taken to a room where the nurse who was at the desk was. She had woken up and was explaining what she had seen and Face backed up her story with his. The staff agreed to step up security pleasing Face. He then headed back to inform Hannibal and BA of the night's events.
