Authors' Notes: Before we get started I want to address a small issue. I was because of some recently made negative opinions going to disable Anon reviews. However after some thinking I have re-enable them. People have a right to their opinions so who am I to say otherwise? And myself and Drowsy have a right to ignore those opinions. So comments will no longer be deleted, however we reserve the right to ignore negative ones. We enjoy this story, we had an interesting time writing it and feel that a lot of character and relationship development occured during it as well as some things we can bring up in later stories to address such as the arguement Face and Charissa had and what his particular problem has been this entire part if we ever figure it out. With that said we consider this matter closed on our end. Enjoy the rest of the story or don't that is your choice.

Now then for a quick reply to an Anon reviewer.

A-Team: That was good wasn't it lol. B.A. And Charissa were freaking out and Hannibal was all calm and cool because Hannibal is badass like that. *nods*

Exactly two hours later, Hannibal stood by the designated meeting place, drumming on a nearby garbage unit with his fingertips. He was waiting for the rest of the team to show up.

Charissa was oddly comfortable in her costume and had even donned a black wig to play it up making her look completely different. She knew she looked good and that alone made her walk with a roll to her hips as she walked with Face and Murdock. They made quite the trio really.

"They're here…" Even B.A. at first had to blink, like the rest he was a man and it was very hard not to give Sosa a second look in that get up, in fact he graced her with a third and then promptly reminded himself it was like he was checking out his own sister, plus about that time he got a load of Face and snickered.

Face scowled. He and Murdock were tugging a rolling platform with a large, decorated and blanketed cage, which had previously been used at a casino performance and left behind. "Don't laugh," he protested, "The saleswoman said it matched my eyes."

Murdock was grinning broadly, though. He was decked out in an Evel Kneivel-esque outfit, complete with helmet.

B.A. of course did laugh, "Well… she was right." He said with a grin and eyed the hidden cage before looking at Hannibal, "How do we get him into the cage?"

Charissa was wondering the same thing and where she was playing the magician type character she had a funny feeling it would have something to do with her, "Nice spots B.A." She eyed his costume with a smirk, reminding him that he wasn't in anything better than Face was.

"Yeah, yeah." He scowled and promptly stopped being amused by Face's attire.

"We trick him." Hannibal said, smiling as he came forward. He was dressed in high pair of black leather boots, with khaki pants and a white dress shirt underneath a red jacket with long coat-tails. Attached to one hip was a long, thick blacksnake whip. "And we give him plenty of bait."

Charissa swallowed hard, something about Hannibal holding a whip was just, well sexy as hell. She kept that thought to herself however since Face really didn't need to feel anymore discomfort than he was already, but it was hard not to comment, "Looking good Colonel." She smiled and quickly looked away.

"Let's do this then." B.A. was excited, he wanted to take Lynch down hard, "I'll go get someone to announce us, and Lynch will have no idea what hit him." He said with a laugh and waited for the go ahead from Hannibal.

Hannibal nodded. "Murdock, help me cover the cage. We need to make sure that they can't see there's no lion inside."

"Sure thing." Murdock began draping the liners and blankets over the cage, turning on a small muffled tape recorder, which began making sounds of an animal pacing, sitting, getting up, and wet snuffing sounds, the occasional low growl as well.

B.A. went ahead of them and talked to the MC of the event and then returned and picked up his fake barbells. He had wanted to use real ones, but Hannibal had discouraged him, explaining that the fake ones looked bigger and gave a better overall effect.

Charissa led the way, using some card tricks that Murdock had taught her quickly and little things he had cooked up that exploded when she tossed them to the ground making it look like she was causing random explosions.

"Ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages, we have a special treat for you tonight! Please welcome from the Santa Monica pier, some select performers from the amazing and spectacular Pier Troupe Circus!"

This wasn't in the plans at all. Colonel Lynch stiffened and watched as they came out into the middle of the bbq like it was planned. It had been alright, but not by him, "Smith." He growled under his breath and wondered what exactly they hoped to gain from this.

Murdock, pleased at the way Sosa had handled the explosives, had forgiven the fact that Hannibal didn't allow him to really be shot out of a cannon. Instead, it would be a trick designed to allow Lynch to get close during the show, then trap him in the empty lion's cage.

B.A. wowed the crowd with a few strong man gimmicks and then stepped aside and Charissa stepped forward and took over the show. She was able to make it convincing even though she had never done a magic trick in her life. She really owed Murdock one for this. She had them cheering and clapping, she also garnered some wolf whistles from some of the male audience members. Finally it was time for their biggest trick of all, "I need a volunteer from the audience." She tried to disguise her voice as much as possible as she scanned the crowd.

Lynch frowned as he watched her zero in on him, "No." It had to be Sosa who else? His eyes narrowed as she taunted him making the crowd chant for him to go up.

Charissa smirked, this was fun, "Aww come on. I'll be gentle. Promise." She said with a sultry wink making the ones who had whistled at her go crazy and demand to be picked instead.

After some serious coaxing, Lynch slowly made his way down and stood close enough to her so he could whisper in her ear, "You will pay for this Captain."

"What are you talking about?" She blinked innocently at him and lead him towards the cage as planned.

Will it work? Will they pull off the little ruse? Tune in and find out soon!

Thanks to all our faithful and loving reviewers. :)
