lieutenant_faceman | For captsosa: You Did What For Us?

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.

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.

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.

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."

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

"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.

"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."

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?"

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

From:

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.

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."

From:

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."

From:

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

From:

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.

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

"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."

From:

lieutenant_faceman

Hannibal gave Sosa a small smile being civil for Templeton's sake, a promise is a promise after all. "Captain," he says, "glad to see you are alright."

From:

captsosa

The smile quickly throws her off but, she offers a faint one in return for the sake of the man by her side. "Face was quick on the drop when he realized something was wrong."

From:

lieutenant_faceman

"That's because we got some intel saying the attack was going to happen today and he knew we have to move before you got hurt."

From:

captsosa

"Though you both know I'm highly capable of taking care of myself." She points out, a bit annoyed. Charisa wasn't some sort of damsel in distress, she'd never been that type and to this day it still killed her that they tended to view her that way at times. Moving past Hannibal she heads inside the hotel.

From:

lieutenant_faceman

Face sighs and rolls his eyes at Hannibal as he heads into the hotel also. "She did say thank you boss I promise."

From:

captsosa

Hannibal turns to follow after Face, the smile that had been plastered on his lips falling not that Sosa was ahead of them. "I gathered that much kid." He mumbles before turning off into his room and closing the door.

Charisa on the other hand was digging a couple loose ones from her pocket and feeding them into the vending machine down the hall, she couldn't help the fact she needed chocolate of some sort at the moment.

Face rubs a hand over his face feeling like he's caught between between two world, the real one and the one the A-Team has made. He leans against his room door and groans. "Ah Temp what the hell do we do now."

From:

captsosa

After a slight struggle with the vending machine, that may or may not have gotten worse from the fact she kicked it one too many times (hey she wound up with a couple more candy bars this way), she makes her way to where Face leaning against the door to his room. "Talking to yourself?"
