A/N: This is my last JAG family episode, but I realized I had to do one more episode. This is in a way the continuation of Episode One: Stolen Angel…you do not have to read it to understand it though. Palmer is back again to take care of some unfinished business. (Side bar I've realized that I made two stories episode two so this is officially episode 5 but they were not in any particular order).
Episode 5
Final Showdown
Chapter 1
The Return of Palmer
It had been twelve years since Palmer came too in the ambulance after a well executed recovery by his partner narrowly escaping his ill fate in the hands of the American government. He had managed to remain low, evading the Americans and the British. He was wanted in both nations, for numerous crimes. In the past ten years he conducted business with terrorists, delivering weapons to enemies of the Americans and British, running illegal drugs across Latin America, and the occasional assassin's job. Always managing to escape the authorities at the last second, but not a day has gone that he has not remembered that fatal day twelve year ago, when a man almost took life, he had not yet forgotten. He had been keeping tabs on this man and his family through some old contacts, and had been plotting, and he realized that now would be the best time for a reunion with Harmon Rabb and his family.
Rabb Residence
Honolulu, Hawaii
0700
"Girls come on lets go you are going to be late for school!" Harm called up the steps to his daughters. Commander Rabb had temporarily been placed in charge of the JAG's Island circuit. After the retirement of Admiral Chegwidden the JAG family seemed to split and go their separate ways. They still managed to meet up once every year for a 'family reunion', and the admiral was a frequent visitor to the Rabb home, as it was hard for them to get out to the admiral for he had moved to Italy to be closer to his daughter.
"Natalie, Lucy I am not going to tell you again!" Harm hollered up the steps, his patience dwindling. Mac was currently in Okinawa defending a marine who resided in Honolulu, but had to go to court in Okinawa for a crime he was accused of while stationed in Japan. Harm sighed as he removed two blueberry bagels from their sack and lightly spread some cream cheese on for the twin's breakfast, putting both on a paper towel next to the girls lunch sacks. He heard the familiar thundering noise of his twin daughters racing down the steps. He turned to see his eleven-year-old daughters jump from the third step to the ground floor.
"How many times have I told you girls not to jump from the steps one of these days your going to break your foot, then you'll be sorry." He scolded as he handed them their bagels and stuffed their lunches in their backpacks.
"Sorry Dad." The girls apologized, as they began nibbling on their bagels, Harm assisted them each with putting on their backpacks, he then picked up his briefcase and pushed them out the door.
"You two have the ability to tell time like your mother, and yet you are never on time!" Harm teased, as he they got into their car and pulled out into the Honolulu morning traffic. The middle school the twins attended was not far from their home, and fortunately not far out of the way of the JAG headquarters at Pearl Harbor. As Harm pulled up to the middle school he could see that he was not the only one who had trouble getting his children moving as he saw other children scampering out of their parents cars and running up the steps into the building.
"Have a great day at school girls I will see you after practice!" He called after them.
"Bye Dad!" They called back as the raced into the school with only a few minutes to spare before the first bell.
As Harm pulled out of the school parking lot he was unaware of a car parked across the street from the middle school, Palmer slouched down in the front seat to avoid Harm accidentally spotting him. As Harm pulled out of sight Palmer raised back up his binoculars as he watched Harm's twin daughters race into the school. He had been informed that Harm and Mac had twin daughters but this was the first time he really saw them.
"Not bad Harm." He complimented as he started the engine to his car and pulled out he had much to do before enacting his plan.
I know a lil short but I promise not to have any large gaps so please review and I will post this weekend!
