1800 EST Friday 11 June 2004
Admiral Chegwidden's office
Falls Church, Virginia
Harm and AJ are in a heated discussion, Harm had gone his own way again in solving a case and the secnav who hadn't liked him from the start has had enough. He pressured AJ to do something about it. Harm may be his best attorney but his sometimes unorthodox decisions where often not well liked by his superiors. Harm tried to find a way out but no matter how badly AJ wanted him to stay there weren't any options left.
Harm left his COs office and went to his own. In the meantime everyone had left for the weekend. Half an hour later, Harm came back in his CO's office handed him a piece of paper collected some items from his office and left the building. AJ hadn't moved in his office since he was holding a letter of resignation, he had hoped to find another way. He filed the request in a drawer and went home, not everything was lost.

AJ had a meeting with the SECNAV; he didn't tell him Harm had tendered his resignation. The SECNAV would have liked that and AJ begrudged him for that, he simply told him he had sent Harm on leave. Harm almost never took leave so he had a few months to figure it out.

Obviously Harm wasn't at the office, he had resigned, but nobody knew that and AJ liked to keep it that way. Everybody would think Harm was out of the office for a case, not unusual. But Mac knew he didn't have outside cases so wondered what was going on. She had tried to call Harm but had only gotten his answering machine.
When AJ called her into her office for a new case she couldn't resist asking him if he knew where Harm was. But even to Mac AJ wanted to keep it quiet and told her Harm was on leave. Somewhat astonished she went back to her own office to look at the new case, but she couldn't stay focused, wondering where Harm was, he usually told her when he couldn't come to work and almost never went on holiday.
