"Commander?" Sturgis stopped and turned around, finding himself facing a happy looking Lieutanant Singer.
"Something I can do for you Lieutanant?" he asked her.
"Have you heard what's going around the office Sir?"
"Can't say I have Lieutanant," he replied mildly, not sure if he wanted to hear it.
"People are saying Colonel Mackenzie and Commander Raab are sleeping together," she said happily.
Sturgis took a double take before quickyl changing his expression to neutral. "And how would they have come across this information Lieutanant?" he asked calmly, a hint of accusation in his tone.
"Maybe they overheard a conversation Sir," she replied.
"And what would make it any of their business?" he asked.
"Well Sir, it would be against regulations for-"
"Lieutanant, whatever's going on between Commander Raab and Colonel Mackenzie is between them, not office gossip," he told her.
Sturgis saw Mac walking towards her office and broke himself away from Lieutanant Singer to catch her.
"Mac!" Mac turned at the sound of Sturgis' voice. She waited until he caught up with her.
"What's up Sturgis?" she asked him, continuing towards her office.
"Can I talk to you for a minute?"
"Sure, come in," she said, closing the door behind them.
"What's up?" she asked, sitting behind her desk as Sturgis sat in front of it.
"I was just talking to Lieutanant Singer," he told her.
"I'm sorry," she said sympathetically.
Sturgis smiled. "Actually, it's more what she said that's worrying me,"
"And what'd she say?"
"Well," Sturgis began.
"Come on Sturgis,"
"She was telling whoever would listen that you and Harm are sleeping together," Sturgis told her quickly, waiting for her reaction.
Mac stared at him for a while before answering. "Are you kidding me?"
"Would I joke about something like this?"
"Did she happen to mention why she thought this?" she asked him.
"I was thinking you could tell me," he replied.
"Sturgis what are you implying?"
"ARE you sleeping with him?"
"This sounds a lot like another conversatoin we've had, in which I can remember telling you-"
"That you were in love with him," he finished, cutting her off.
"-That I'd never slept with him," she said, ignoring his remark.
"Things change. I was just wondering, and I thought you should know, what she said,"
"Well, thanks. Could you ask her to come in here so I can kill her?"
A knock on the door stopped him from answering.
"Enter," Mac called. Harm opened the door with a pile of folders in his hand.
"Hey," he said. "Hey Sturgis," he added, noticing him there.
"Hey Harm, come in and close the door," Mac told him.
"What's wrong?" he asked, confusion crossing his face as he did what she asked.
Sturgis re-told his story for Harm while Mac pretended to study a brief on her desk.
"I'm gonna kill her," Harm said when Sturgis had recounted the conversation.
"Sorry, Mac's already requested that,"
"Fine, you kill her, I'll get you off," Harm told Mac, only 3/4 joking.
"This had to have come from somewhere guys. Think," Sturgis told them.
"We will, but right now we need to the Mayers case done. She chose the worst day to do this," Mac complained.
"All right, I'll go out and try to prevent her from telling too many people," Sturgis promised, getting up.
"Okay, thanks buddy," Harm said, taking the seat he'd just vacated.
When Sturgis had left, closing the door after him Harm looked at Mac.
"So, you think it has anything to do with the fact that it's the truth?" he asked her.
