Harm's Apartment

We just finished a brutal case this afternoon. Harm promised to cook me dinner since I had closing arguments. I sit down at the kitchen counter as Harm drops his mail in front of me. He pulls ingredients out of a sack for supper.

I take a casual glance down at the pile of mail in front of me. I notice a fancy envelope with calligraphy handwriting; it can only be one thing, a wedding invitation. I decide to play this up; maybe I'll get to see my Flyboy in dress whites.

"So, whose getting married?" I ask. Harm gives me a blank, frightened look. "Relax." I say holding up the envelope.

"I don't know." He says. "California return address. Mom and Frank are the only people I ever visit out there."

"Why don't you just open it up and find out?" I ask, "It would be a lot faster than analyzing the poor thing to death."

"I guess you're right." He says sliding a finger under the flap. He pulls out another envelope and chokes on the small gasp of air he just sucked in.

"What?" I ask, pulling the envelope out of his hand. I turn it over and read out loud, "Harm and Mac?" I give him a questioning look.

"I'm as confused as you are, go ahead read it to me." Harm says slowly, as he beings to pull out pans to cook supper. I pull the invitation out and read:

Savannah Michelle Jennings
And
Blake Weston Cooper

Request the honor of your presents at
St. Catherine's Church
Saturday, December 14, 2002
At Six-thirty in the evening

Reception to follow at
Paradise Point Country Club

Black Tie

"I can't believe it." Harm exclaims. "Van is getting married, who would have ever thought that would happen."

"Ok. Who are Van and Blake and why am I on the invitation?" I asked sounding quite confused.

"Van, is or I guess was the neighborhood tomboy. She could take any of us guys without much thought. And I have no idea who Blake Cooper is." Harm thinks for a moment. "My guess is my Mother has something to do with you being on the invitation."

"I still don't get it, why would your Mother tell them to put me on the invitation?"

"I guess I never told you. Every time I talk to my Mother she always asks how you are, and when she's going to meet you."

"Oh." I say rather surprised that they talk about me.

"Well should I ask the Admiral for time off for both of us?" Harm asks me.

"Do you really want me to go with you?" I ask in return. He's silent for a little too long.

"Yes." He says simply. "I think it's time for you to meet my family."

"I'd like that, I'd like that a lot." I say.

"Sir, Commander Rabb to see you." Tiner says into the intercom.

"Send him in Tiner."

I open the door and enter. "Thank you for seeing me, Sir." I say.

"What do you need Rabb?"

"Well Admiral, I would like to request a few days leave in December, but for the Cornel too, Sir."

"May I ask why?"

"An old friend is getting married and I thought it would be a good time for Mac to meet my Mother and Frank. I think my Mother wants to meet Mac. I can't imagine anyone else getting her name put on the invitation." I explain.

"I see, well fill out the papers for you and the Cornel."

"Thank you, Sir."

"Your welcome and dismissed."

"Aye aye, Sir."

"And Rabb, make it a week you two deserve more than a few days. Let her really get to know your parents."

"Thank you, Sir."

"Harm what are you doing here so early?" I ask.

"It's called on time Mac." He says

"Yes, I know that, but I didn't think you did." I tease.

"Funny Mac. I must have impressed the Admiral though, he gave us a week off for Van's wedding." Harm informs me.

"He must be in shock from seeing you here on time." I tease again. "Now, lets get some work done."

Next time: Mac and Harriet go shopping for a dress for the wedding. Or please give me some ideas

Please Read and Review.
