A/N: sorry it's taken so long for me to update, I've been really busy, but here it goes…
"Sorry"
The next day everyone woke up to the smell of bacon and eggs emanating from the kitchen, once they were all in the living room they went towards the kitchen and dinning area to find the table had been set for breakfast, and Carter finishing making the last pancake.
"So, ah you made breakfast?" Hannibal asked half astonished and half confused
"Yes sir, it's ready if you guys want to start eating."
"What do you think Lieutenant?" Hannibal asked Face
"I think it's poisoned" He stated flatly
"I only poisoned your's Face." She shot back as she winked at BA and Murdock , "Oh and your's Frankie." She added as she gave a big grin and sat down herself
"Man quit worrying about it and eat!" BA told Face
Later after everyone had finished what they needed to for the day, in the way of chores, it was around noon, so Murdock decided that he and Carter were going to go on a training exercise with her chopper. Once they were at Murdock's favorite place they landed and decided to enjoy the view of the little pond. While they sat under a tree near the pond they began to get a little comfortable.
"So how'd you know about this place?" She asked
"Well I usually come here when I want to be alone." He answered
"I'm grateful that you're comfortable enough with me to show me this place." She thanked him
"Well, this may sound silly, and I know I haven't known you for that long, but I feel like I've know you forever." Murdock said wrapping his arms around her from behind, so she leaned back against his chest feeling the warmth from his body against hers, before they knew it it was time to go.
"Ya know we better make it look like we were actually doing something." Carter said
"How about we just do a couple circles around the compound land in a couple odd places and call it a day?" he suggested
"Ya know I've been meaning to ask you if you would want to go out with me sometime, you know the whole dinner and a movie thing?" Murdock asked while they were circling the compound
"Well I'd love to, but…"
"but what?" He asked
"well It's just, I don't really have anything to wear for a date"
"That's okay, neither do I , we don't have to do anything fancy." He confessed
"Great it's a date then."
"Great how's tomorrow night sound?" he asked
"Fine by me, and maybe we could stop by the airport and I could show you my other chopper, and plane." She added
The next day was Friday, the end of the week, but that didn't really phase the team, they were on a hiatus, well they just didn't have any missions, and Stockwell told them to take it easy, so they were going to take advantage of it.
The day had gone by relatively slow and boring which meant Murdock was driving BA crazy, and everyone else was having a good time watching the two argue all day.
It was around six when Murdock and Carter decided they were going to start their date, but they couldn't really come out and tell everyone they were going out.
"Colonel?"
"Yes captain?" Hannibal answered Murdock
"Carter and I are going to go down to the airport and she going to bring me up-to-date on her aircraft, so if you need anything we should be there, we might go get a bite to eat." He added as they left the house
They first went to the theater where they saw some old Humphrey Bogart movie, afterward they went to a hamburger Heaven and got Murdock's favorite, finally they went to the airfield, where she showed him her 77/YAH-64 Apache and her little cargo plane and finally her Huey she was planning on restoring.
"Wow I haven seen one of these in a while." He said as his face light up like a kid in a candy store
"Maybe if you're good I'll let you take me out in a ride someday." She promised him
Meanwhile back at the compound Stockwell was throwing a tantrum because he couldn't find Carter.
"Smith have you seen Carter?" he asked
"Actually her and Murdock went to the airfield a couple hours ago." He answered amused
"Why Stockwell, having women troubles?" Face asked
With that he gave a disgusted look and left
A couple hours later they decided to head back to the compound, when they showed up everyone was in the living room watching the game.
"How'd everything go?" Hannibal asked
"Colonel you'd never guess what she has, she has an Apache, a cargo plane and an old Huey she going to fix up.." he began to ramble
"I'm glad you had fun, oh Carter Stockwell was here looking for you earlier." Hannibal said
"Great, he's probably still mad about the other day." she said
"What were you guys fighting about?" Face asked
"well, it's a long story so lets just say that we've never gotten along." She told Face
"You know I've been meaning to apologize to you guys about the past couple of days, I've been on edge and when I got that call from Stockwell that just put the icing on the cake."
"Well I was wondering if you were going to come to your senses, so apology accepted' Face said as if he had another chance, "Now, how about we discuss this over dinner, say tomorrow?" he added
"Well Lieutenant, I'd love to have dinner tomorrow, just not with you, you see I wasn't apologizing about turning you down I was apologizing for my attitude." She said
"Looks like Faceman's loosing his touch." Murdock teased
"you mean to say I have no affect over you what so ever?" he asked
"Well I didn't say that, you are kinda cute, in that oh look it's a puppy type of cute, until he turn into a dog and tears up all my furniture." She stated
"Thanks I feel much better now."

History
The United States Army issued a request for proposals (RFP) in 1972 for an Advanced Attack Helicopter (AAH). From an initial list of 5 manufacturers, Boeing-Vertol, Bell, Hughes, Lockheed, and Sikorsky, the finalists selected were Hughes Aircraft's Toolco Aircraft Division (later Hughes Helicopters) and Bell. Hughes' Model 77/YAH-64 was selected over Bell's Model 409/YAH-63 in 1976. First flight of a development prototype occurred on September 30, 1975 but it was not until 1982 that a production contract was signed. In 1983 the first production helicopter was rolled out at Hughes Helicopter's facility at Mesa, Arizona. In 1984 Hughes Helicopters was purchased by McDonnell Douglas for $500 million. Hughes later became part of The Boeing Company with the merger of Boeing and McDonnell Douglas in August 1997
In 1975, the company won the contract for the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter.5 By December 1981, six AH-64A prototypes had been built and the Army had awarded a purchase contract to the company.6 http://en.
