Note: I'm not sure exactly how old Chloe is so for this story she's fourteen years old. We're also going to assume that her grandmother is dead and her father hasn't been good after losing his mother. Also Sergei lives with Harm.
Part 1
JAG HQ
FALLS CHURCH, VA
Colonel Sarah "Mac" McKenzie was going through a case file when the phone rang.
"Colonel McKenzie" She said picking up the phone.
"Mac…its Chloe" Chloe said on the other side of the phone.
"Chloe honey, how are you?" Mac asked
"Mac…I need your help" Chloe said sobbing.
Mac got really worried when she heard Chloe sobbing.
"Chloe what's wrong?"
"Dad… he hurt me Mac. I need to get out of here"
"Chloe, where are you right now?" Mac asked concerned. She couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"In my room but dad is trying to break into the room and hurt me again. Mac help me, I can't live here anymore" Chloe said now crying.
"Honey listen to me, is there a way for you to get out of the house from the balcony or something?"
"There is a window that I can get out of but I'm afraid he'll come after me" Chloe replied.
"Listen to me, get out of the window and go to your friend house or somewhere around the street so he can't find you and I'll do something until then." Mac said telling her what to do.
"How will you reach me?" Chloe asked.
"Do you have your cell phone with you?" Mac asked.
"Yah but I don't think it has a lot of time left on it though" Chloe told her.
"Don't use it for anything else until I call you. Just get out of there and I'll call you as soon as I can."
"Ok. Thanks Mac…I love you"
"I love you too" Mac said before hanging up the phone.
She really needed to talk to Harm right now and was hoping he wasn't busy. Mac went out of her office and toward Harm's office when she heard noises from there. It sounded like Renee to her but she wasn't sure. When she reached at the office, she saw Renee sitting there talking to Harm while Harm was looking at some kind of a file. Mac didn't want to face the 'video princess' but right now she needed to talk to Harm and didn't care who was in his office. She knocked on the door and said, "I hate to interrupt but I need to talk to Commander"
"Well, then don't interrupt" Renee said rudely.
Harm looked up from his file and saw Mac and could tell by her face that something was wrong.
"Renee, would you please stop it" Harm said getting up from his chair and walking over to Mac.
"What's wrong?" He asked softly.
Mac explained everything to him with tears in her own eyes.
He took her in his arms and said, "We need to go speak to Admiral"
Mac nodded in agreement and left the office with Harm. Harm was at the door when he turned around and looked at Renee and said, "You need to wait here" before leaving.
"Tiner, is the admiral in?" Mac asked Tiner
"Yes ma'am"
"Can you please tell him that Commander Rabb and I need to see him right now" Mac told Tiner.
Not even a second later Tiner said, "Ma'am, you can go in"
Mac and Harm walked in to the office and explained everything to the admiral and after looking at Mac and Harm, admiral asked Mac how far was Chloe from JAG head quarters.
"About an hour and a half sir" Mac replied.
" Do you have court this morning?" Admiral asked.
"Yes sir, in half hour" Mac replied not knowing what to do. She had court but Chloe needed her help.
"Sir, I don't have court this morning, if you don't mind, may I go pick up Chloe sir" Harm said looking at admiral.
"Well, Commander, we have no other way to get to Chloe and I guess you can go and get that young lady" Admiral said smiling at Mac. He knew how much Chloe meant to her.
Mac looked at Harm and didn't know what to say to him.
"Thank you sir" Harm said and he looked at Mac and said "Don't worry, you go ahead in court and before you even know it, Chloe will be here"
"Commander, I suggest you get going if you're going to get there on time." Admiral told Harm.
Harm looked at Mac and reassured her that everything would be fine.
Few minutes later, Harm and Mac left Admiral's office and headed over to Harm's office.
Harm entered his office and saw Renee still sitting there and said, "Sorry Renee, but I need to go and I won't be back for lunch"
An upset Renee said, "Are you canceling our lunch date again?"
"I'm sorry but I need to go get Chloe" Harm getting his stuff from the table and not paying attention to Renee.
"Ohh I see how it is. You do what she says but yet you don't care about your girlfriend"
"Listen Renee, Chloe is like a little sister to me and I do care about her and you can think whatever you want but I don't need to permission to go anywhere." Harm said before heading over to the door to join Mac who was just standing there not knowing how to react. Renee got angry and just left before giving an angry look to Mac.
"Let's go Mac" Harm said taking her out of his office and heading out to the parking lot.
When Harm and Mac reached his car Mac grabbed his arm and said, "I'm sorry Harm. I didn't mean to come between you and Renee."
Harm looked at Mac and said, "Mac, you are an important person in my life and if I need to leave Renee or anyone else to help you, I will"
"I know you would but I'm still…" she was cut off by Harm
"Don't you dare say sorry Marine. Now I want you to relax and go call Chloe and tell her I'm on my way. I'll be back before you even know it." Harm said getting in his car.
"Be careful sailor" Mac said softly.
"Always" Harm said before leaving.
Mac went back to her office and called Chloe and told her that Harm was on his way to get her.
