Harm sat in a chair at Grace Aviation, Admiral Chegwidden had just left after offering Harm his old job back. Harm was thinking about the best solution to his problem. He wanted to return to the Navy but he couldn't abandoned Mattie. While Harm was deep in thought Mattie wandered back into the office and said "Harm you aren't going to leave me are you?"

"No Mattie but I know neither us can save the business. Not with those loans your dad took out. With that said I am going to petition the court to make me your guardian."

"Harm we have to save this. My mother left it to me!"

"Mattie, I can't. I don't have the money or the ability to get the money for that. I am going to save your family home."

"Alright, Harm. How long until we get a hearing for you becoming my guardian?"

"I am going to make an emergency application so not too long, I hope. I am going back into the Navy so I am going to get Mrs. Peabody check on you daily. She will bring you dinner. I know you have been eating pizza nightly but that won't work."

"Fine you win."

Harm got back to DC and called the Admiral. He told him he would come back but wished to remain in the office until the petition was resolved. The Admiral agreed but was not happy. Harm was his best investigator so he would have to deal for now. Harm sat down to work on the paper work for the petition. About the time he was wrapping it up there was a knock at his door.
