Author's Note: well, this is my first JAG fic, so be nice. :)
Everything was finally back to normal.
Mac sighed contentedly as she sat at her desk in her spacious office. It was another beautiful spring morning, and though she longed to be out in the sun, doing anything besides the masses of paper work she had committed herself to over the past few weeks, there was a peaceful and happy silence that consumed the JAG offices, and she fully reveled in it.
Her relationship with her partner Harm, had gone back to that competitive yet comfortable, relaxed and flirtatious friendship that she had missed in the past months. Now that Mic, Renee, and all of the confusion they had brought with them had been almost entirely cleared up, everything seemed to be running smoothly and chaos-free.
But she had a feeling that all of her new found peace would soon come to a crashing halt, as her partner gave a quick erratic knock on her door before rushing into her office in excitement. She looked up at him with an amused expression of confusion, and saw that elated gleam in his eye, which always indicated that something completely interesting and thrilling, and sometimes completely devastating was about to happen.
" Mac..." Harm had gotten only one word out before he was stopped in mid sentence. As he stared at his partner with a strange distracted, awestruck gaze. The sunlight from the window behind her was pouring in through her office, that made her hair shine softly and her eyes come alive with an intensity that he had never seen in them before. For a moment he just stared at her, captivated.
" Harm, what is it?" she asked, nervously.
Harm shook his head slightly to the left, " Oh," he had almost forgotten what he had come to say, " you'll never guess what's happening." he said excitedly.
" um, the admiral is voluntarily taking the day off?" she mused.
"nope. better."
" okay, I give." she smiled at him, amused.
" well, you know how I told you about my cousin Andrew, you know the one from New Jersey?"
" the shrink?" she asked.
" yeah, that one, and you know about how a few days ago the admiral was talking about how we were going to hire someone who can do case profiling, personal investigation, interrogation, and counseling? Well, I knew Andrew was looking for something knew, and that he was definitely suitable for the job , and so I talked him into applying so he did, and he really is a great guy and we always used to..."
" So wait he's coming to work here?" Mac interrupted in a surprised tone.
" yes, isn't that great? and I just know he's going to add to the atmosphere around here, and we'll make a great team..." he rambled quickly, as if he was already trying to force Mac into approving of his younger cousin.
" well, when's he going to be here?" Mac asked, feeling slightly overwhelmed by this sudden change of events.
Mac stood up from her desk just as she noticed a tall, unusually attractive man walk into her office, " Hey harm," he called in a casually humorous tone, " Sturgis said that you were probably in trouble in here so I thought I'd..." the man paused the moment he noticed Mac, and turned towards her, with an interested, slightly stunned expression.
Mac studied him. he had light brown, almost blond hair that was cut in a longer style that hunk loosely around the sides of his forehead and almost reached his ears in the back. His eyes were a deep brownish green that held an incredible amount of depth, a lot of humor, mystery, and an intense amount of ambition that caught her a little bit off guard as he peered at her intently.
He held his hand out towards her, " hi, I'm Andrew." he announced. his voice was deep and soothing, almost hypnotic.
Mac shook his hand, noting it's strength . " I'm Mac." She replied. she flashed him one of her rarely spared, dazzling grins that has an enticing affect on nearly every man who had ever glimpsed it. The act did not go past Harm who tensed, and cocked an eyebrow at them curiously.
" So this is Mac! Harm has told me a lot about you, but he sure was holding out on some of the, uh, primitive details." he smiled at her, and glanced at harm accusingly.
Mac laughed, and so did Andrew, she noticed that Harm did not. " same here." she replied.
She guessed Andrew to be 2 to 4 years younger than she, not the young, inexperienced school boy she had imagined him to be.
Their meeting was interrupted when Harriet stepped into Mac's office. "The admiral wants to see the three of you." He paused inside the door for a moment to cooly glance Andrew up and down before exiting.
" She seems nice." Andrew stated, sarcastically.
" She really is once you get to know her." said Mac.
" We should get to the admiral soon." Harm stated, directing Mac and his cousin out of the office, the elated lift now absent from his voice.
Mac noted the graceful and confident way in which Andrew carried himself as they walked toward the Admirals office. He had an incredibly strong sense off presence, which was similar to Harm's, So that whenever he stepped into a room, all eyes were immediately cast upon him. Yet he seemed not to notice the curious glances and stares he was receiving as they made their way through the bullpen, and stepped into the Admiral Chegwidden's office.
Mac and Harm stood at attention as they entered the admiral's office, and Andrew shook A.J.s hand. " Admiral." he addressed him personably.
" Andrew Rabb." he nodded at him respectfully. AJ peered at Andrew with that intimidating gaze that he used so commonly on newly appointed officers. " Welcome to JAG. I trust that you will be a valuable asset to our... family. " he added formally.
He took out a yellow case file, and handed it to Mac. " This new case just came in this morning, it will require a lot of investigation and time, you should find it rather challenging." he paused and looked at them. He seemed to be unsteady, not sure of his actions, which was unusual for the Admiral. His expression devoid of any obvious emotion. He raised is hand towards the door gesturing for them to get started on their work. " have fun kids." he said.
An uneasy feeling settled over Harm as he left the Admiral's office and retreated with Andrew and his partner back to Mac's office to begin researching their first case as a trio. Just a few moments ago, he had been ecstatic about having Andrew come to JAG. But now, for some reason, he wasn't so sure, and he didn't understand why. ' What exactly is it that's bothering me?', he thought to himself. He would now be able to work everyday with who he considered his two best friends, everyday. What could be better?
He looked over at Andrew, thought about all of the things he loved about Andrew, all of the good times they'd had together, and the bad ones. He noticed that Andrew was looking over at Mac, with an intrigued look on his face. Mac, sensing someone was watching her, glanced up at Andrew as he flashed her a quick smile, which spoke so many words in it's briefness. And for the first time in his entire life, Harmon Rabb felt threatened by his little cousin Andrew.
