Author's note: This is my second Jag fic. All feedback is appreciated. It might even lead to more
fanfic (read, the second part of this story). Once, again, I wrote this while I was bored in
Christian Ethics and finished it when I got home. Let's hope the class continues to be boring, so I
can finish it up. Thanks to everyone who read my first story. Hope you like this one too.
'It's been a slow week.' Harm thought as he strolled towards his partner's office. Knocking on
the door briefly before pushing the door open and walking in.
"Hey flyboy." said Mac, looking up from her paperwork.
"You ready."
"Yeah." Mac said, closing the folder and standing up. "This is becoming a regular thing."
"What?"
"Us and Friday nights. We really need to get out more, meet people, have something to do
besides dinner with your partner every weekend."
'She wants to meet other people?' Harm's eyes widened slightly at the thought as I looked at her.
"God Mac, I must be doing something wrong if you're ready to find someone else to eat with."
"Harm, you know what I mean," says Mac playfully hitting his arm as they walk out of her office
side-by-side.
'No, really I don't know what she means. I thought we were finally heading in the right direction.
Apparently, I need to do a better job letting her know that dinner with her isn't something I do
just because I don't have anything better to do.' thought Harm.
"Colonel, Commander." AJ called, coming out of his office at the same time.
"Sir." "Admiral." they answered turning to face him and coming to attention.
"At ease." the Admiral said giving them a moment to relax before continuing, "I'm glad I caught
you. I need you both to head over to the brig. Ensign Thane Walker was just brought in on
charges of drug possession. You'll both be representing him. He's the son of an old friend. I
want you to find out what happened."
"Yes sir." answered Harm.
"Anything else, sir?" questioned Mac.
"No, dismissed." replied Admiral Chegwidden.
They turned simultaneously and entered the elevator as it came open. Once on the elevator, Harm
spoke up, "Guess we won't be keeping our dinner date tonight after all."
"I'm not letting you off that easy. You still have to feed me, even if it's just take-out Chinese
while we talk strategy."Mac said grinning.
"Your car or mine?"
"Yours," she answered heading towards his car. Stepping in front of her quickly, Harm pulled the
door open for her, shutting it once she was seated inside.
Later
"We're here to see Ensign Walker." Harm told the guard. Buzzing them in and motioning them
towards a room, they entered to find Ensign Walker sitting at a table waiting for them.
Offering a slight smile the Ensign said, "The Admiral called ahead and told them to have me
waiting for you. Thanks for coming. I'm sorry I messed up your Friday night."
"Hey, don't worry about it. Now, tell us what happened," Mac said taking a seat with Harm
quickly sitting down beside her.
"I'm not exactly certain sir. I was picked up about an hour or so ago for possession of drugs.
They were doing a regular sweep of the buildings and the dogs called attention to my locker.
They're not mine. I swear, I don't know how they got in my locker. I can't have these charges
against me, sirs. Not only wouldn't I be able to become a Seal like my father, but I couldn't even
stay in the service. You have to believe me sir, ma'am. I would never do anything to get myself
discharged..."
"Hold on a minute there Ensign. Don't worry if there's a way to get you off, we'll find it." Mac
answered.
"Now we need to know if you have any idea how the drugs got there." said Harm frowning
slightly.
"No sir, I don't. I haven't even used my locker in a few days. We've been gone on a training
mission for the last few days."
"When was the last time?" questioned Harm glancing at his partner.
"I'd say three, no make that four days ago, right before we left." replied Ensign Thane Walker. "I
cleaned it out about a half-hour before we left because I wasn't sure exactly how soon we'd
back."
"Was there anything else in your locker when they opened it?" asked Mac.
"I don't think so, ma'am. There shouldn't have been. I didn't leave anything in it before we left."
he replied.
"Do you know how often do they use dogs when checking the buildings, Ensign?" inquired Harm.
"I don't know, a couple times a week I think."
"So, they probably came through the building sometime while you were gone as well as the day
you got back? Is that right?" asked Mac, catching on to what Harm was thinking.
"Yes, I would guess so."
Harm and Mac look at each other, understanding passing between them. "We'll have to ask a few
questions, Ensign, but I don't think you need to worry about these charges. However, we won't
be able to get you out of here until Monday." Harm said.
"That's okay sir." answered the Ensign smiling slightly, "I can handle that, as long as you think
you can get me out and have the charges removed so they don't mess up my record."
"I'm pretty sure we'll be able to do that Ensign." Harm said. "We'll see you in court on Monday
unless something changes."
Harm and Mac leave the building. Harm said to Mac, "You think he's innocent?"
"Yes, don't you?"
"Yes, do you know how we're going to get him out?" asked Harm.
"Call and see when the last time the dogs went through the building. Assuming we're right and
they passed through while he was gone without picking up anything, it should be pretty simple to
get the case thrown out. It doesn't explain where the drugs came from but at least it'll clear him."
Mac said a grin starting to form, "Now, where are you getting my food from? You can call and
check on that while we're driving."
"The chinese place on the way to you apartment, okay?" said Harm.
"Yes."
Harm makes a call, checking to see when the buildings were checked that week. Hanging up, he
says to Mac, "The Ensign is lucky that there has been such increased security. The dogs did go
through once while he was gone without finding anything. That should at least clear him of the
charges, even though it doesn't tell us who the drugs belonged too."
"Good, I'm glad there won't be any problems for Ensign Thane. He seems like a nice kid." Mac
says smiling.
A few minutes later. "Wait here, I'll go inside and make the order. You want your usual?" says
Harm.
"Okay. Yes."
Harm comes back a few minutes later. "It'll be about 15 minutes. Want to run in the video store
across the street and pick up something to watch tonight? It doesn't look like it will take very
long to wrap up this case. "
"Sounds good to me." Mac replied, "You sure you want to spend the whole evening with me?"
"Of course." Harm responds, "What could I possibly have to do that would be better than
spending the evening watch a movie and eating Chinese with my best friend?" 'There's nothing
I'd rather do than spend time with Mac. Anything is better with her. I can't believe that after all
these months of my spending time with her and not looking for a new girlfriend, that she hasn't
caught on yet.' thought Harm, 'Clearly, I'm going to have to take more drastic steps, especially
with Valentine's Day coming up soon.'
"I don't know. It's just that we do this all the time now. You're not tired of spending so much
time with me yet?"Mac asked tentatively.
"No, I'm not tired of it and I doubt I will be tired of it anytime soon, unless you're tired of it and
want me to give you some time alone." Harm answered uncertainly.
"No, of course not. I better run pick up the movie. Our food should be almost ready." Mac said
changing the subject and hopping out of the car.
Slowly, Harm climbs out of his door and goes inside to get the food. Returning to the car, he
finds Mac waiting for him. "So, what did you get, Mac?"
"XXX." says Mac, "I figured it was something we would both like."
"Great."
Arriving at Mac's place, Harm hurries out of the car opening Mac's door before she can get it.
Mac looks at Harm a little oddly climbing out of the car. "Let's go before the food gets cold."
she says.
Stepping in to Mac's apartment, Harm says, "Go put on the movie, partner. I'll grab some plates
and drinks for us."
"Okay."
After getting out a couple of plates, pouring some drinks, putting the food on the plates and
grabbing the chop sticks, Harm makes his way over to the couch to find that Mac has not only
started the video, but found time to change into a t-shirt and jogging pants and is curled up on one
side of the couch. Harm sits down next to her. They eat as the movie begins. Part way through
the movie, Harm takes their now empty plates into the kitchen. Returning to the couch, they
watch the movie. Enjoying it and making occasional comments throughout the movie, Harm
relaxes leaning back into the couch, one arm sliding around the back to curl lightly around Mac.
Mac unconsciously snuggles closer to him as the movie progress until she is curled against him,
her head leaning on his chest, his arm wrapped around her, holding her in place. As the movie
ends, Mac shifts lifting her head off of Harm and starting to stand up, yawning slightly.
'God, I hate it when she gets up. Why can't she just stay where she is ever? Now she's going to
send me home. One day, she's going to stop sending me home.' Harm thinks, his mouth turning
up in a wide grin at the thought.
"It's getting late, Harm. You should go home so I don't worry about you driving too late at
night." says Mac.
"Okay." replies Harm, "What time should I come back tomorrow to go running with you and take
you to get your car?"
"0900?"
"Sounds good. That will give me some time to sleep in." answered Harm turning to go, pausing
and turning back around. "About next weekend..."
"Yes?"
"It's Valentine's Day next Friday..."
"And you want me to know that you have a date, right?"
"Yes, well not exactly, I haven't asked her yet."
"Don't worry about it, Harm." says Mac frowning slightly.
"No. I mean that's not what I wanted to say. Would you let me say what I mean for once?" Harm
said getting a little flustered.
"Go ahead."
"What I was trying to say was would you like to do something with me for Valentine's? I mean
besides our usual Friday night deal. That is if you don't have anything else to do." Harm asked
quizzically.
"I...That would be nice Harm. I'm impressed you even asked in advance." Mac responded a grin
lighting her eyes.
"Great. I'll pick you up around 1830."
"Where are we going?"
"You'll find out next week." says Harm quickly stepping out of her apartment, "Good-night,
Mac." he said glancing back at her for a moment, pausing in the hallway for a second to hear her
click the lock into place.
