One
JAG HQ
Lt. Colonel Sarah Mackenzie walked quickly through the JAG ops bullpen towards the direction of her office. Once safely inside Mac sat down behind her desk, closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths.
This was the second morning that she had woken up feeling this way. She thought that it was just a bug that was going around the office, but she had a slight feeling that it was a combination of the bug and the stress that the whole 'Mic' situation was finally catching up with her.
The knocking of the door, brought Mac our of her thoughts. "Enter" she called and looked up to see her best friend Commander Harmon Rabb Jr. enter the room
"Wow you actually knocked instead of just walking in I am impressed"
"Funny Mac I was actually coming to check on you, you didn't look too well as you flew by me, so I came to make sure that you were ok"
"I'm fine Harm maybe a little nauseous, I think I'm getting the bug that is going around the office but I think I will be fine"
"Ok if you're sure I was just concerned about you" he told her sincerely
"Thanks for checking on me but I'll be fine, now if you excuse me I have some cases that need by attention"
"Yes ma'am"
Lt. Harriet Sims knocked on the door "enter" came the reply from the other side
"Ma'am may I have a moment of your time" Harriet asked Mac
Mac put the pen down and looked up at Harriet "What is it Harriet?"
"Ma'am if I am say so, you don't look that well, I think you should be at home"
"Harriet thanks for the concern but I am fine"
"Ma'am…" Harriet tried again
"Harriet I feel fine at the moment but if I start feeling sick I will do something about it"
"Yes ma'am sorry to have bothered you"
"Harriet I appreciate your concern, but I need to get back to work"
"Yes ma'am" Harriet said snapping to attention and left the room
"Sir Lt. Sims would like a moment of your time"
"Send her in Petty Officer"
"You may go in Ma'am"
Harriet walked into the admirals office and stood at attention "at ease Lt, would you like to take to me about?"
"Colonel Mackenzie sir"
"What about the Colonel Lt?"
"sir if I may be blunt, the Colonel doesn't look well, I tried to talk to her and so has the Commander but she is insisting that she is fine"
"It is sweet of you to look out for the Colonel Lt. but…"
"But sir if you just look at…."
He held up his hand to stop her "But I will keep an eye on her if I think she doesn't look well I will deal with her"
"Thank you sir"
"Is that all?"
"Yes sir"
"Ok then dismissed" he said and Harriet came to attention
"Hey Mac staff meeting in five" Harm said as he stuck his head through her door later that day
Mac looked up from her work and smiled at Harm "sure just don't be late Harm"
"How can I be late to a meeting across the room?"
"I'm sure you could manage to find a way" she teased "come on if I go with you there is no chance that you can be late"
The meeting was over and for the most part Mac felt sick and queasy. She stood up to go find some peace in her office but then sat back down due to some dissness. Harm saw and was right by her side "Mac are you ok?" he asked concerned
"Dizzy" she mumbled
"Can someone get her a glass of water?"
"I'm fine Harm, I always am"
"Always how long has this been happening?"
"A few days"
Before Harm could answer the Admiral stepped in "Colonel take the rest of the day and tomorrow off, you don't have anything pressing at the moment and be back on Monday provided that you are felling better"
"Admiral…."
"Are you questing my orders Colonel?"
"No sir"
"Good, Commander drive the Colonel home I don't want any accidents caused by any dizzy spells"
"Sir…" Mac started to say as she stood up, and before she new it everything around her went black. The last thing she felt was Harm's arms around her as she fainted.
