13:45 Zulu
JAG Headquarters
Staff breakroom
"Rabb! Mackenzie! In here now!" The admirals booming voice could be heard throughout the entire bullpen, bringing any activity to a sudden stop.
Mac and Harm stopped what they hade been doing moments before, arguing over who would get the last of the double-choc-fudge ice-cream and stared at each other.
"Oh great, what have you done now?" Mac groaned
"Me? I haven't done anything!" Harm stared at her incredulously. Both of the lawyers were in an awful mood. Both had been badgered by the press entering JAG and whilst in court. Not only that, there had been dozens of calls from various newspapers throughout the day.
"Sure, you always think that you've never done anything!" Bud gave Mac a sympathetic look as they approached the Admirals office.
Harm caste a wary glance in Mac's direction before knocking, and after a quick 'enter' he opened the door.
"Rabb and Mackenzie reporting as ordered sir"
"At ease, I am sure you are acquainted with the SecNav" AJ motioned towards the window
"Yes Sir" Mac said, glancing at the man that had previously gone unnoticed. He looked old and tired, and Mac felt slightly guilty that her and her partner had probably created a few of those worry lines.
"Please take a seat" AJ motioned to the chairs in front of his desk.
"I asked the Admiral to bring you in here because we are having problems with a news reporter." The SecNav moved across the room and leaned against the desk next to AJ.
"Uh, Sir does this have anything to do with all the reporters following us around today? As far as I know we don't have any high profile cases". Harm stared at the Admiral, obviously confused.
"The media frenzy has nothing to do with any cases.This reporter, Miranda-Ashley Jones has been trying to get dirt on the Navy and in particular JAG." The SecNav replied and handed a folder to Mac.
"This morning at approximately 0700 newspapers in the D.C. area and two national gossip magazines were provided with pictures and articles about certain staff within JAG." He continued
Harm looked at Mac, expecting to find her staring in confusion at the SecNav like himself. Instead his partner was looking pale and staring wide-eyed at the contents of the folder.
'Um…sir? I don't understand, how…why?" Mac choked out.
"The reporter was dishonourably discharged three years ago from the navy for fraternization with her CO. As far as we know, that is her only reason." AJ looked at her with pity as he replied.
"Permission to be excused sir?" Mac said swaying slightly as she stood.
"Permission granted Colonel" Mac ran out of the Admirals office holding her hand to her mouth.
"Sir, I'm sorry I still don't understand." Harm stood up and looked out the door that Mac just left through.
"Well in suggest you take a look at the contents of the folder your partner just had." The SecNav took a seat in the corner waiting for a reaction.
A moment later Harm's loud yell could be heard throughout all of the Jag building.
Ok, so it wasn't very exciting. But hey! I only had 10 minutes to write it, anyway- REVIEW or you don't get anymore!
