Part 6
The light blue pickup truck pulled into the emergency bay at the hospital, screeching to a halt.
"You can't park there!"
"Watch me sucker!" BA gave his fierce look to the orderly. BA jumped out of the cab showing his full size to the orderly, who was then too afraid to argue.
"We need help!" Face shouted at the man as he and Murdock gently lifted Amy out of the back of the truck, now totally unconscious.
The orderly grabbed a gurney from inside the hospital entrance and as he did so he shouted for assistance. He wheeled the gurney as close as he could to Face and Murdock so that they could lay Amy on it.
Doctors and nurses, to the team's relief, came rushing out of the hospital to Amy's aid, starting to check all of her vitals. An oxygen mask was immediately put over her face. All four men reluctantly moved out of the way from Amy's side to allow the doctors and nurses to take over.
"She's been poisoned, but we don't know what with." Face said frantically to one of the doctors.
"Here, this is the syringe they used." Murdock gave it to another doctor who looked like he was in charge. "You might be able to find the antidote."
"Take this straight to the lab, tell them it's urgent!" The doctor ordered a nurse, handing her the syringe. She rushed off into the hospital. "Sir, can we have her name, please?" The doctor turned back to Hannibal.
"Miss Amy Allen." Hannibal confirmed.
"You'll look after her!" Murdock was still worried. Face put an arm round him, patting his back.
"We'll do the best we can, sir. She's in good hands."
Everything was moving so fast, the hospital staff wheeled her into the hospital and off out of site, all talking to one another about stats, blood pressure, it all sounded quite serious to the guys as they watched her be wheeled away. Murdock and Face anxiously tried to follow but Hannibal called them back.
"Guy's we gotta move it and find those slimeballs!"
"But what if they work out we've brought her here, Hannibal?" Murdock protested.
"Yeah, I don't like the idea of leaving her here, unprotected." Face was in agreement with Murdock. The pair of them showed their concern in their faces to Hannibal.
"You're right. I've got a plan" and Hannibal walked into the hospital and up to the reception desk of the ER. Face, Murdock and BA watched as he talked to the receptionist.
"Man, I hope she's OK." BA started to show his own concern. He usually kept these feelings locked up inside of him until he could hold it in no longer. "Those guys are gonna pay." He clicked his knuckles angrily. Face and Murdock looked at BA and then one another, each with a wicked smile. Felton and his men were going to pay.
Hannibal returned back to the men, with a grin on his face. He knew they weren't going to like it.
"What?" Face looked worried, seeing the twinkle in his Colonel's eye.
"What'd ya say Hannibal?" Murdock was also intrigued by Hannibal's grin.
"I told them to get in touch with the military," the three of them started to protest to Hannibal's words, but he continued, "to contact Colonel Decker, and to tell him that the A Team just brought in Amy Allen." Hannibal chuckled as he reached for a cigar. This was definitely a cigar moment, with the look on their faces.
"Ah man!" BA shook his head.
"Decker!" Face's eyes widened, with an expression of dread. "You're crazy Hannibal!"
"Crazier than Murdock, man!"
"Look guys, he'll be here in a shot. And besides, we'll need someone to clean up our mess." Hannibal grinned. He loved the idea of Decker being one step behind him, picking up the scum that Hannibal left behind him. It kind of had this nice feeling of rubbing salt into a wound. "Come on, we've got slimeballs to hunt. The tables have turned and they don't know it yet." Hannibal chuckled as he walked around to get back into the cab of the pickup truck.
"Yeah, if Decker doesn't catch up with us first!" Face complained as he jumped into the back of the pickup truck.
"You sure Amy's gonna be alright, Faceman?" Murdock asked as he too jumped into the back of the pickup with him, he looked back in the direction of the hospital entrance where he'd seen Amy been wheeled away on the gurney.
"You heard what they said, Murdock, they'll do the best they can." Face tried to reassure his friend, although deep down he too shared his concern. But she was in the right place now.
"Now, I think we're gonna need a chopper! Hannibal said as he got into the cab of the truck.
"I ain't flyin."
"You're right BA, we need us two on the ground. Face and Murdock will travel by chopper, you and I will stick to the road."
BA smiled at Hannibal. For the first time, BA was actually happy with this plan.
