The Team's Gem (The A-Team x OC)

Seized: Chapter 3

Gem peeks around the corner to see if the coast was clear. Sure enough, she didn't see any white van with three buffoons looking for her. She runs across the street and bolts into B.A.'s backyard. She finds the duffel bag of her stashed items and grabs it. Gem finds the key she hid and uses it to get into B.A.'s house. She dresses quickly, replacing her scuffed-up jeans with shorts and her top with a dark green tee. Pushing her hair into her black cap, she stuffs her backpack with the other items in the duffel bag: a satellite phone, some chocolate bars, three $20 bills, and a notepad and pen. Gem opens the satellite phone, dialing the van.

"Come on, come on, pick up!" Gem mutters. The line was dead. She quickly writes down a note for B.A. and leaves it on the counter. She locks the door behind her and quickly runs out of the backyard. She was pulling her bike out of the bushes when MPs arrived. The first man she sees makes her gasp.

"Charleston?"

"Decker."

"Amber Charleston." Decker smirks. Gem quickly mounts her bike and peddles hard down the road. "After her!" She hears the sirens and spots the cars chasing her. She peddles harder.

'Come on, Amber! Don't let them catch you!'

"I hope we find Gem soon. Who knows the kind of trouble she's in right now?" Face says. They had searched all over Los Angeles. Still no sign of Amber.

"Shut up, fool." B.A. shouts. "If it wasn't for you, she'd be here!"

"B.A., now calm down." Murdock says. "Just because Faceman here wasn't able to keep Gem from being kidnapped doesn't mean you have to blame him."

"That's exactly why I blame him!" B.A. shouts.

"I'm really sorry, okay? They were just too fast. I barely had time to register what..." Face trails off when he sees a girl on a bike zoom in front of the van, followed by MPs.

"That's Gem!" B.A. shouts.

"Step on it, B.A." Hannibal orders. The van shoots forward in pursuit of the MPs.
