Why this must be read: Because I tend to be a Face/Murdock girl, it's sometimes hard for me to warm to other pairings, but I'm trying. This is one of the few that has Colonel Decker in a role where he's not either chasing the team or torturing them somehow. Although I have some quibbles with the characterization in the story, I find it strangely plausible in some way ... Decker is trying to woo Murdock and attracting the team's skepticism. Is it all part of an evil plan to catch the team, or is Roderick Decker just a man in love? It's a little over the top in places, but sometimes you want something not quite so dark, and this might be just the thing.


Hannibal straightened up in his chair and turned completely around to face the captain. "Let me get this straight. Decker--Colonel Roderick Decker, just stopped by on a whim to see how you were doing and take you out for pizza."

"Yup," Murdock smiled. "And a strawberry milkshake."

"I don't like it, Murdock."

"I know, Hannibal, you usually prefer vanilla." Hannibal rolled his eyes as he thought about what this could mean.

"Did he at least pay," Face chuckled under his breath.

"Lieutenant!" Hannibal warned. "This could be serious."

By the tightening of his cheeks, Hannibal could tell that Murdock was about to burst out laughing and couldn't hold back.

"I don't get serious until after the third date, colonel."

Face and Murdock broke out into hysterics, and a slight giggle was even heard from the driver's seat, but Hannibal remained stern. "Guys, this isn't funny. Decker is up to something and we can't let our guard down."

"I'm on it, colonel... but still, it was kind of nice to get out of the hospital to have lunch instead of getting out of the hospital to have the crap kicked out of me for a change."
