Okay here it is. The "remake" of Amazed. As I told you yesterday, I told you I was going to revise it and rewrite it. Oh and the song that plays on this chapter is 'Amazed' by Lonestar. I just thought it fit perfectly!
Chapter One~ A Bad Day at the Office
28 August 2003 1130 Zulu
Mac's Office
JAG HQ
Mac stormed into her office. She slammed the door and shut the blinds. Her way of saying, "If you want to keep your six, then you best not mess with me!" She had just lost a case in court against her friend, Commander Sturgis Turner. She was so certain that she would win it! The all-nighters she pulled to get it together! Just so her client wouldn't be convicted of murder on his watch! She was certain they wouldn't find him guilty. Then Sturgis found some new evidence and
BAM * the next thing she knew, the jury had found him guilty! 'Damn you Sturgis!' Mac thought. 'Where the hell did you get that evidence?'
Mac's stomach growled.
"Well maybe a Beltway Burger will cheer me up!" Mac said to herself. She walked out of her office and as she walked towards the elevator, she could feel everyone's eyes on her. It got quite. Too quite.
She snapped her head up.
"Is there something that you all need?" she yelled. She heard a chorus of "No ma'ams" and "Sorry ma'ams."
"Well then! I suggest you get back to your jobs if you want to keep them!" she yelled.

Beltway Burgers
Washington, D.C.
Mac bit into her burger. She smiled to herself and thought 'If this is heaven, then I must have died!' Mac always loved Beltway's burgers! She never really ate them with anybody because Harm hated to eat meat and Harriet and Bud always went out together at lunch. Mac had started to think about that case again. Soon she had realized that she was there a little longer than anticipated. Mac paid for her burger and walked outside to her car. She climbed in, feeling somewhat happier. She switched on the radio and heard that familiar song.
*~ I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you. ~*
Every time Mac heard that song, it gave her goose bumps. It reminded her of the relationship she had with Harm. But they just couldn't admit their feeling to each other. She was just afraid of rejection.
Mac pulled up to a red light, a few blocks from JAG Headquarters. All of a sudden, she felt her car lurch forward violently. "What the hell was that?" she said out loud. She got out and saw that the car behind her had rear-ended her. She walked around to survey the damage. The back bumper was smashed into the car. The other car took off before she could get the license plate number or any other information. It was out of site in a second. "What kind of jerk would pull that?"
Mac took of towards JAG Headquarters. She peeled into the parking lot, stopping only once to flash her id to the guard. She pulled into a parking space and pulled out her cell phone to call a tow truck. As soon as one pulled up, she gave them her information and they towed her truck. What else could possibly go wrong today?
Mac walked into her office and once again slammed the door. After about an hour of looking at files, there was a knock at the door. "Oh no" she muttered under her breath.
"Enter!"
Colonel, the Admiral would like to see you ASAP."
"Thank you Tiner."
Mac got up and walked to the Admiral's office. Commander Harmon Rabb Jr. was sitting in his office when he looked up and saw Mac walk by. 'Well she looks pretty damn mad!' he thought to himself.
~Meanwhile~
"Sir? Tiner said you wanted to see me?"
"Ah, yes Colonel. Have a seat." He walked around his desk and sat on the edge of it. " Are you feeling okay Colonel?"
"Yes sir. Why wouldn't I be?"
"Well, I've been hearing from a few people that your behavior is worse than usual."
"Sir, I'm sorry but I lost a case in court against Commander Turner and was a little miffed by it. Then on the way back from my lunch break, I was rear-ended and the jerk took off."
"Very well Colonel. I hope that the rest of your day goes better."
"Thank you sir."
"Dismissed!"
Mac stood up to attention.
"Aye Aye sir." With that Mac spun around and walked out of his office.
Well tell me what you think! Is it good? Or is it bad? Tell me!
