Alex and Maggie smirk as their enhanced hearing picks up Face's singing. Dressed in cover-overalls, Alex nudges Maggie, and nods her head to the tanning container. Hannibal nods at them and they walk forward, lock the door into place and Hannibal slides a trolley like thing (AN: can't remember the name, sorry) as Alex turns off and unplugs the machine. They start to walk out when a guard stops them.
"This one was faulty. We will have it back by next week." She tells him in a serious voice.
Maggie, during this time, was mouthing the words Face was shouting out. "Let me out, let me out, oh please, just let me out. Hey! Hey! Hey! Let me out! Hey! Help me!" When Alex started to talk, he shut up.
"Such a good song." Maggie smiles.
They get into the pickup truck Alex managed to steal and drive off slightly above the speed limit. About fifty minutes away from the prison, Hannibal pulls over near lake and Alex and Maggie get Face down from the trunk. They open it up and step back as he step forwards.
The three stare at him and say in unison. "You are really tan." Alex and Maggie stifle giggles.
"You look like a carrot." They burst into peels of laughter as they say this together. When they collect themselves, they hand him a pair of jeans, boxers, a shirt and some shoes. They turn as he dresses.
"Who put us on?" He asks as he dresses.
"The same guy that put us on in Baghdad." Hannibal tells them. Maggie looks at Alex, she smiles softly at the last memory she had of the team together.
"Lynch? CIA?" She asks, suddenly feeling terrible. He was a bastard, nothing could stop that.
"Is he…?" Maggie turns as Face finishes changing; Alex continues to look out into the massive waters.
"Yeah. Gave me a bad vibe when he visited me in prison." She sighs as she cracks her neck. Maggie winces at the sound.
"He visited you?" Face asks as Alex walks forward onto the road, reaching into the back of the truck.
"And me." Hannibal adds.
"So what are we talking about? Clean records? Reinstatements?" Maggie joins Alex as she searches for something.
"All of the above and answers for Alex." Hannibal explains. Alex looks up.
"Answers?" Hannibal nods as Face looks at them.
"What about Pike and the plates?"
This time, Alex and Maggie knew the answer. "Payback. Simple and easy."
"I take it you didn't get religion inside. Any of you for that matter." Face jokes. Alex smiles as she says her answer, Maggie just smirks as her answer follows Alex's.
"Na."
"Nadda"
"No. I got revenge." Hannibal puts in his two cents.
Face nods happily. "Good. I know a couple of guys that'll feel the exact same way."
Hannibal starts to make his way to the car as Alex pulls out her bag, still looking for something. "I'm counting on it." As they walk, Maggie looks at Alex confused.
"BA and Murdock sweetie." Alex pats her arm. Maggie swats her head and they pile into the back seat. Face drives the car well over the speed limit as they go over the plan to bust out BA and Murdock.
Maggie and Alex sleep soundly in the back of the truck as Hannibal slides into the boot. Maggie shifts and looks up at Face who looks rather pale. Feeling Maggie shifting, Alex wakes up. Not bothering to open her eyes she asks "Still don't trust my Dad 100% Face?" She yawns loudly before grabbing her bag and continuing to search.
"The last time I did, I ended up in prison for six months." He grits his teeth as he starts to drive.
Alex sighs. "We trusted Lynch; it has nothing to do with Dad." She and Maggie stretch awkwardly so they wouldn't hit each other. "How much longer?" Alex asks.
"The transportation bus is about ten minutes away. Alex nods while looking out the window, sighing slightly.
"Where is it..." She looks back into her bag and searchs a side pocket. "FOUND IT!" She cried, holding up an orange bottle of pills that Face reconizes instantly.
BA looks down at his book, smiling as he shuts the cover and looks out the window. His eyes widen to see a shocked looking Alex. He shakes his head.
"It can't be her." He mumbles as he reads the number plate. "Emergency…" He mumbles again as the car slows down. "Exit now…" After a second he realizes who it is. "Hannibal." He turns to see the Emergency Exit before running up towards it.
The truck turns around and the trunk pops open to reveal Hannibal. With a click of a trigger, the emergency door is stabbed with a harpoon. BA holds on as it is ripped from the truck."
Baracus! Don't do it!" One of the guards yells, but it is too late. The door connects with the road as BA holds on for his life. The door lets off sparks and a rough noise that makes Alex and BA shiver. Once they get far enough, Alex opens the door and pulls him in.
"Baracus! God damn it!" The guard yells as the door shuts and the cable holding the door on the road snaps off.
"Maggie, BA Baracus, BA, this is my female partner-in-crime, Maggie." BA nods before asking.
"Where to next?"
As Hannibal and Face wait, Alex and Maggie stand up to go talk to a male waiter. Hannibal watches carefully out of the corner of his eye as his daughter flirts with the brunette for some free food for the five of them. Face taps him to get his attention.
" How did you know that once that door was extracted that it would take his weight?" He asks curiously.
"I just did. He's….you know, he's what, 225, 230 pounds?" He estimates.
"230, yeah." Face agrees.
"Remember the gag we did in Venezuela seven years ago?"
"Venezuela. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But that was a midget."
"Yeah, I wouldn't go for that." He is interrupted at BA sits down. "Hey, big guy. There he is." They grasp hands and bump fists between the three of them.
"Yeah, he is back." Face agrees again.
"Yeah, it's good to be back." He eye catches Alex and Maggie. "Is Alex….flirting?"
"Come on. We just got ya back!" Face complains.
"It is good to be back" He repeats.
"My man. It's good to see you, bud." He says excitedly.
"You too, bro. You too." They fist bump one more time. "Thanks."
"You look well." Face looks him up and down.
"It's good to see you guys." After a moment of silence, BA grins and asks "What?"
Face chuckles. "Where's the Mohawk?" Alexs seems to hear this and turns to see BA with a head full of hair. She gasps and nudges Maggie, who turns and gasps as well. The waiter grabs their attention again; they converse for a second before he disappears. Maggie and Alex turn back to face the conversation over at their table.
"What, you don't like my new do, man?" BA runs his hands through his hair nervously as he laughs.
"Do I like it?" He asks shocked. "Well, we got you the clippers. I thought…."
"Yeah, I used them." BA protests.
"Hey. What's up big guy? Come on, you can speak to us." Hannibal encourages.
BA seems hesitant for a moment before confessing. "Guys, uh, I can't kill anybody."
Hannibal and Face look at each other before the leader questions. "What do you mean?"
"I've taken a vow." BA explains. Maggie and Alex start to discuss this quickly while Alex's father and brother by every way but blood come out of shock.
"Vow?" Is all Hannibal can say.
"Of non-violence." He explains. "I'll still do anything for you guys, you know that. But I just can't kill, man. Old habits may die hard, but, they still gotta die." He sighs as he goes into a childhood memory. "When I was a kid, all you heard in the hood was, "Bosco's a badass, out collecting scalps." That's where the Mohawk came from. Was always at war." Alex grabs the bench in front of her.
"And that's what warriors are for." Hannibal says confused. Alex's grip on the wooden bench tightens till her knuckles are white. Face turns and Maggie holds up to fingers. He nods and turns back around.
"Hannibal, man. I don't miss that life. I'll help you get Murdock, and right that wrong, but I can't kill." BA basically pleads for Hannibal to understand.
Face questions him. "Even Pike? Even if killing him would clear your name?"
"My conscience is the only things I need clear." Alex releases her grip as the waiter comes back and nods to the girls. They smile and start to walk over. "Now, where's that crazy-ass fool?"
Alex answers almost immediately. "Army Psychiatric Hospital, Mannheim, Germany. Sup my man?" BA stands and they hug briefly. "Looking good without the Mohawk." She complements. "And, uh." She clears her voice before singing in a horribly off-pitch high voice. "I just scored a free lunch and a number."
"We did." Maggie corrects. "WE scored a free lunch and number."
Hannibal raises an eyebrow. "I hope you're not going to call that number." Alex smirks playfully as the waiter brings over a few plates of food.
"Maybe." She grins as Maggie snatches the number and throws it in the bin. "HEY!" The men chuckle quietly as Alex slaps Maggie across the face playfully and Maggie slaps her back, knocking her out of her seat.
"Are you sure about this?" BA asks.
"Well, let's see. I did it a few years ago in that science lab Murdock was stuck in, remember?" Alex grins.
"Yes, I remember. I remember being stuck in quarantine for two weeks." Face grumbles.
"So I accidently broke a jar or two-"
"YOU BROKE ONE THAT HOLDS 5000 LITRES-" BA yells.
"-that may or may not have contained a few deadly, highly contagious airborne diseases with no known cure." She smiles at him. "However, I still think that I saved our lives by doing that."
"No, you nearly KILLED us!" Face yells.
"Oh, stop being such a drama queen, Face." Alex grins. "All I have to do is go in, claim that I am here do drop off a parcel, give it to Murdock and ask if I can stay, when your girlfriend comes around, I get Murdock to yell 'IT'S GONNA BLOW!' and we escape through the back where they drop off the laundry. Unlike last time, I am not going to get lost and go 'oh, pretty light inside jar. Alex must open jar.' " Maggie cracks up with laughter.
"You opened up a jar because it had a LIGHT?" She falls to the ground as Alex glares.
"Three, big, green lights plus an eight year old equals disaster!" Alex growls.
"Ten, you brought an eight year old on a mission?" Maggie gaps as Hannibal walks into the room.
"What can I say? We were poor, we couldn't always hire a babysitter and no one on base could handle me, I was always running about causing all kinds of mischief." Alex grins and the boys try not to wince in the memories of Alex's childhood on base. "Oh, and I caused a lot of pain for these three, Murdock was cool with it though." She explains to a very confused Maggie.
"But…you're so sweet and innocent." She says, obviously not believing a word they are saying. The four other people all snort.
"Sweet and innocent?" Hannibal asks before smiling at his daughter. She raises an eyebrow before punching him in the lower stomach, hard. (1) Alex slides off her skirt to leave her in some denim, boot cut jeans. She nods her head towards the truck, which is parked on the side of the road where they let Face get changed.
"C'mon Maggi." She growls. "Mags? Magpie? Magsipies!" She finally declares. "I knight you Magsipies!" She ducks to miss a rock flying over her head and into the water. "I de-knight you Magsipies." She yells as another fly towards her. "Maggie, there!" She ducks again. "WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO CALL YOU?"
Maggie shrugs. "I just felt like throwing something." (2)
They quickly get to the Mental Hospital (which involved knocking out BA again with a pill that didn't make him sleep for….longer than necessary. Yeah, let's go with that). During the ride over in a commercial flight, the girls sat away from the boys so they could talk about what happened at the prison.
"I got word from Emma, the boys are out and they are setting up camp in the Grand Canyon." Maggie says as air hostess walk around asking people if they want drinks or food.
"Nice, stay in Las Vegas during the day and hide out with the coyotes during the night, maybe even catch a roadrunner." Alex says sarcastically.
"It is well secluded-"
"So no one can hear anyone scream."
"-and we can hide out in public to keep an eye out for any 'prison escapes' on the news."
"Please, the Government wants people to think that they can at the very least hide some so-called criminals in some well guarded prison. The only way this gets out is if there is a leak." Alex leans back slightly.
"As in, if one girl, who may or may not be in this plane, called up CBS and told them about the break out?" Alex sits up quickly and looks at Maggie in fear.
"Please tell me you didn't." She pleads as Maggie falls into hysterics.
"And risk being put back into Government Prison? I think you know me better than that Al." Alex settles back down, grumbling as a hostess' voice calls out from the PA system in German.
"Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen. We ask you to please fasten your seatbelts as we are about to land."
Quickly, they fasten their seatbelts as the plane starts to descend. When they land, Alex, Maggie and the hostess all say at the same time "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Mannheim, Germany."
1: This happened. I had a friend stay over and we were talking about our childhoods when Mum and Dad came in. They called me a 'terror' and my friend said that I was innocent and my Dad was like 'our girl? Innocent?' and, yes, boys and girls, I hit him. We all laughed about it though.
2: This happened about three months ago. I went over to my friends to study for an exam when, next thing you know, I call her Magsipies (cause there is a Football Team called the Magpies that she goes for, and I was bored), so she started throwing pillows at me. Once I called her by her real name, she still threw pillows at me because she said 'I felt like throwing something to release my anger.' Turns out the Pies lost..mwahahahaha.
