B.A.T (Murdock LS)

Chapter 2

The sun glittered brightly in the clear blue sky. A black van was speeding down a dusty highway in Mexico. Hannibal Smith was sitting in the passenger seat as BA drove while Face was changing in the back. The colonel's sharp eyes locked onto a figure walking down the highway. Her face struck a cord in his mind.

"Pull over here BA. We need her," Hannibal ordered. BA screeched to a stop in front of the wildly dressed woman. She didn't look up as the van stopped in front of her.

"Colonel Trix," Hannibal stated as the woman sped past his door. The woman stopped in her tracks at the sound of her title, which she hasn't heard in over a year.

She started laughing after she heard the words. The laughing started to get faster and louder the longer it went on. BA and Face exchanged skeptical looks as the woman laughed.

"Whoo! I haven't heard that name in a long time," the woman said. She still didn't lift her hat covered head to acknowledge the van.

"Yes, well get in the van we need your help," Hannibal stated. Colonel Trix lifted her head to stare at the man. Her blueish purple eyes were partly hidden by aviator sunglasses. The men took a double take at how the woman was dressed.

Her holographic hair style was hidden under a cheetah printed furry hat. She was wearing a galaxy hoodie along with apair of watermelon shorts over silver leggings. Her feet were covered in bright red fuzzy boots.

"As long as you don't take me back to that God awful place. I will help you." The woman hoped into the back of the van with Face and some lady.

"Take you back where?" Face asked. Trix stared at him behind her glasses before giggling.

"The hospital of course! Those doctors don't know what they're doing! I mean, I'm not technically a doctor but I can do a better job than them. They don't even stitch patterns!" She laughed. Face cringed away from the woman and turned to talk to Hannibal.

"Who is she?"

"Colonel Trix was dishonorably discharged after shooting her commanding officer. She was pronounced clinically insane a week later. Been in the best psychiatric ward since. She must have escaped." Hannibal explained. BA almost slammed on the breaks as Hannibal told him to stop. They were parked out side of a hospital.

"So, what did she do in the army?" BA asked as they hopped out of the van.

"I was a sniper," Trix said from behind him. The dark man nearly punched her as she moved to walk beside him.

"Damn fool. I can see why, you're so quiet," BA said. Trix looked up at him with a confused face.

"No we're not. We talk all the time. About anything and everything. Though sometimes it gets dangerous for people around us." Trix jogged after Hannibal as he walked into the hospital. After a few steps in though she wandered off towards a fish tank.

"HM Murdock please return to your room," came over the intercom. Trix lifted her head at the sound of the com. Before she could investigate, Hannibal was pulling her along.

"Come on." Trix trailed behind the active colonel. Her gaze searched the halls for something interesting to look at as Hannibal lead her forward.
