Plot Overview

Reporter Tanya Baker is working undercover at a security agency. She learns from the company's computer that the security agency is planning to assassinate a visiting sheik. She also learns that Colonel Decker is on the trail of the A-Team. She leaves to warn the team. The two heads of the security agency learn of her using their private computer to learn of their plan to assassinate the sheik, and try to stop her. Somehow, Tanya finds the team, and warns them about Decker. They are not certain about her sincerity in warning them. Being fugitives as they are, they are cautious of anybody. Tanya tells them that she works for the L.A. Courier, the same newspaper service where Amy Allen had worked. Thanks to the many adventures that Amy accompanied the team on, she was promoted to being a foreign correspondent. Tanya's reason for warning the team is similar to Amy's. She wants to accompany the team and help them in some of their adventures. First, they must escape Colonel Decker, and second they must stop an assassination of Sheik Fatasi.
