Finding The 4077th

Please...Mozart

Meanwhile the Colonel had received a call about Frank's weird behavior. Apparently Major Burns had confronted and scared two blonde army women, but escaped before the MPs could catch him by jumping out of the window.

The Colonel put Radar to the job of making some calls in order to replace Frank in the meanwhile. They could really use the help, as more wounded were planning to arrive.

Chris sighed sadly, he didn't like it when his dad was working so much. He was happy to be sitting here because if he listened he could still hear his dad's voice inside the O.R and could hear what they were saying. He looked up from his notebook when he heard another familiar voice. It also came from the O.R.

He quickly stood up and had to stand on his toes to be able to peek through the small window from the door and saw Margaret standing next to his dad. She was already dressed in her scrubs and seemed ready to work. Even though she didn't look very happy about it. He released a loud sigh as a huge wave of relief washed over him. This was great, things would go back to normal in no time. He finally felt like he could breathe easily again. He listened for a while and heard them talk about her honeymoon but she didn't want to talk about it. The conversation went towards Frank being absent. The only thing that was said was that he was behaving irrationally before Hawkeye told them he didn't want Chris to overhear. Apparently his dad thought he was already stressed out enough, which he was but he also wanted to know and it made him irritated that his dad wanted to hide it.

Klinger rushed towards the door so Chris quickly jumped out of the way. As Klinger rushed past Chris saw the man was wearing a white nurse outfit and wore a pair of sparkling gold earrings. Again Chris felt a small pang of jealousy. He didn't care much for the outfit but those earrings were really pretty. He still didn't understand why boys shouldn't wear earrings but he knew people disapproved so he kept quiet.

Radar came by for a moment to talk briefly to Klinger, apparently Frank was heading for a section 8. The man was behaving weird. He had attacked someone screaming Margaret.

Klinger found it really funny and Radar was about to say more but he noticed Chris was watching them from a distance and immediately stopped talking. The clerk quickly made an excuse and left. Chris sighed defeated as more people came running past him. He was a bit hurt that Radar left so quickly but he knew if his dad did that, there was something he wasn't allowed to know. It happened often that when he came into a room people quickly stopped talking. His dad explained it as people talking about inappropriate things. Which wasn't good to hear as a child, but Chris didn't really understand. What could they be talking about what was so inappropriate?

After a while his dad finally walked in post-op and Chris immediately walked up to him.

Hawkeye was very relieved to see his kid smiling again, apparently the boy had seen Margaret already.

"M-Margaret is back." Chris said softly. His voice sounded a bit rough after being silent for so long.

Hawkeye couldn't stop the huge smile he got after he heard his kid speak again. "Yeah, she is! Like I told you she would." He brushed the boy's head affectionately before he left to speak with one of the patients. He wished he had more time with his son, but they were still short staffed.

Meanwhile Radar finally had found a temporary replacement for Frank, he rushed into post-op to tell the doctors about a Charles Emerson Winchester, who would be arriving soon. Chris started to feel a bit nervous about it as he didn't like change very much, and new people scared him.

Hawkeye, who had noticed him getting upset again had tried to explain that this new man was only temporary and that there was nothing to worry about and that nobody could hurt him, he could go to everyone from the 4077th to get help. Chris nodded, he knew those things were true but it didn't make the nerves go away.
