For captsosa: You Did What For Us?

[lieutenant_faceman]

Most people looked at Templeton and dismissed him as a pretty face, hell that's how he wound up with his nickname. But it was Hannibal Smith who saw more and took him under his wing. Smith helped to mold and meld him into a soldier. But it was Charisa Sosa who made him human. It wasn't love at first sight exactly, they'd had to grow on each other but once they had there had been no one else.

It was why he was so worried about her now. He couldn't have said what was bothering him so much he just was worried. He'd tried to call her on a secure line twice but nothing, so now he was pacing trying not to go racing in to save her.

The look on her face says it all at the moment. In honesty she had been worried for the last three years that the military would catch on to her involvement, she just didn't expect everything to happen so quickly in one day. As the car is set in motion away from her place she stares straight ahead and runs a hand through her hair.

After they are out of the city Face finally speaks. "Are you okay?"

[captsosa]

"I'm fine," she speaks softly while turning her gaze out the passenger side window. Sosa's mind was certainly clouded at this point, unsure of just what the hell she was going to do now.

[lieutenant_faceman]

"You are not fine, I know you and that is your not fine face......talk please. I really don't want an awkward car ride."

[captsosa]

"You realize how stupid it was for you to show up right?" She's still not looking at him. Was the thankful he did? Yes, but he could have easily been caught. "Were you even thinking!?" Charisa lays her head against the cool glass of the window with a sigh.

[lieutenant_faceman]

"Yes I was thinking don't let Sosa die so you're welcome," Face snaps.

[captsosa]

The moment Face snaps at her she winces slightly while chewing on her lower lip. She had been grateful of course, there was no denying that but, sometimes she wished he wouldn't risk his life for her. Lips part to say something and instead she just goes back to silence between them.

[lieutenant_faceman]

"We're almost there," Face offers helpfully, "Hannibal can help explain how we found out what was going on."

[captsosa]

"I'm sure he's going to be thrilled to see me," Sosa finally offers a glance to Peck, "Hannibal and I don't get along...you know we're not going to play nice."

[lieutenant_faceman]

"That may be true but he understood that loosing our one ally isn't going to do us any good either."

[captsosa]

Running a hand over her face she can only nod in agreement with him. After a long moment she shifts her body over near the center console and finds it's just enough to where she can lay her head over on his shoulder while he drives.

[lieutenant_faceman]

He takes her hand with his free one and holds it with a squeeze as he drives them to a rather run down hotel. Hey beggers can't be choosers sometimes when you are on the run.

[captsosa]

Closing her hand around his own she closed her eyes for a brief moment, allowing herself to calm her nerves before they arrived at where the boys had been staying. As her eyes opened and the hotel came into view she just stared at the building as they neared it. She understood that they had to keep a low profile but, this was one step away or maybe two from where local drugs would be dealt.

"Nice digs."

[lieutenant_faceman]

"It's not perfect but it's clean enough and the beds are comfortable," he admits, "beggars can't be choosers."

[captsosa]

"Hannibal could have easily asked you to get them a better place," she points out. No she wasn't actually complaining she fully understood that they took what they could get.

[lieutenant_faceman]

"We could have, but that would be like flaunting our location in the MP's face," he replies, "and we want to go back to court one day with a decent reputation."

[captsosa]

A slender brow perks up at the last part, while she holds back a snort that badly wants to escape her. Giving his hand a small squeeze she lulls her head to the side a bit as Murdock suddenly comes into view, waving his arms rather frantically. "Did he lose Billy again?"

[lieutenant_faceman]

"God I hope not," Face says trying to sound bright and optimistic as he turns the car off and gets out.

[captsosa]

Pushing open the passenger side door Charisa slips out in time to hear Murdock frantically call for the invisible dog, the flailing of his arms having ceased though since Face stopped the car. And his frantic calling stopping as well when he notes Sosa. "El Diablo..." He whispers hoping she doesn't hear before continuing his search for Billy.

Oh, she heard alright and all she can do it run a hand over her face. "Really? I'm still El Diablo?" She asks while looking at Face.

[lieutenant_faceman]

Face sighs and shrugs as he comes around the car to join her. "I still don't know what goes on in his head sometimes, but trust me he'll get used to you, this is all so new to all of us."

[captsosa]

Sosa leans her back gently against the car, eyes drifting away from Face for a moment and resting once again on Murdock while she shook her head slightly. "I'm really going to wind up cramping your guys style."

[lieutenant_faceman]

"This will work," Face answers softly meaning it, "we have to give it a chance to, but it will work."

[captsosa]

"God I hope you're right," Sosa gives him a nod toward the hotel to have him lead the way. Moving to walk after him she glances back at Murdock for a second seeing him slowly following behind.

[lieutenant_faceman]

"Would you stop worrying," Face whispers, "the more you worry, the more I worry."

[captsosa]

"I'm sorry, didn't think I'd be getting attacked today," Charisa whispers back before going silent as Hannibal rounds the corner. "Hello, Colonel."
