Here is more of this story. Sorry so short work has been no stop lately. More to be posted tomorrow. Thanks to all who have reviewed.

I don't own any of the JAG crew but the rest are mine. When you find your soul mate, the connection that you have with them is a really strong one. For example some people can tell when their other half is hurt. Some people can even tell you when there other half was/is killed. This is the kind of connection that I believe that Harm and Mac have. Now on with the tale of the Courtroom.

The Courtroom part 2

In the court room

Mac was sitting in one of the chairs at the defence table. "What do you want with me?" The commander from the other day came up to her. "Ma'am, and I use that term loosely, you are just a means to an end. On the other hand, you might be fun to play with for a time. What do you say boys? You think she would be good?" There were only 4 as far as Mac could see. They were all in the Navy. Two were commanders and two were ensigns. Mac knew what she had to do. When the first one got close enough to try to hold her, Mac kicked him in the balls and sent him to the ground. The next thing Mac knew, she felt a hand come across her face.

Outside the courtroom doors

Harm was trying to get the man in charge to listen to what he had to say. Judges Morris and Hopkins were standing there beside Harm trying to help him. After a few minutes into the talk, a bruise appeared on Harm's check. The man in charge saw this and watched as Harm's head snapped back as if being hit hard by something or some one, but no one was near him. "Sir are you ok?" Harm looked at the man and said, "Right now I am, but if you don't let me talk to them at least, I won't be very soon. Just then Judge Morris told the man to let Harm try. Lets see what would happen. The man turned to tell Harm to be careful, but to go ahead and try. Harm went down like some one had knocked the breath out of him. "Sir are you ok? That makes two times that no one has been near you and you have been hurt." Harm just assured the man he was ok and holding his ribs went to the door to try to talk to the guys inside.

In the court room

Mac had been hit by something that took her breath away when Harm had gone down. " Come on now just tell us were your liar of a husband is Mrs. Rabb and we won't hurt you any more." Mac was growing tired of this but she would die before these men got near Harm. "I won't tell you anything and you know it. So why keep on with this? You are not good officers, because if you were then you would know that I can't work with him since we got married. You would be looking for him at home or at his job not here with me." An ensign looked at Mac and then hit her so hard across the face she fell to the floor. Harm did the same thing outside the door.

Judge Morris looked at Judge Hopkins "I knew those two had a link. But in all my years have never seen two people have one this strong. Especially when they battle in court against each other as much as they do. I bet the hits and bruising that he is getting, Mac is gettin in there." Judge Hopkins agreed and added "When all this is done we need to bring Mac up with us and they need to make it real." Judge Morris agreed and then went back to watching Harm.

Harm had gotten up off the floor and knocked on the door and was waiting on the answer. Commander Black answered Harms knock by yelling out "We will only speak with Commander Rabb." Harm just looked at the two judges and the guard that were standing beside him. Judge Morris gave him a head shake to go on in. With one last look at the men in the hall Harm said "This is Commander Rabb. May I come in to talk to you?" Commander Black looked at Mac. "See your husband loves you and wanted to make sure you're safe. Come on in but do it slowly. You come in alone or your wife will have her neck snapped fast." Harm just looked at the men in the hall and opened the door slowly as he was told to.

"Glad you could come to see your wife commander. Why don't you come on in so you can see her better?" Harm was upset not that they were here but was mad that they would use Mac to get to him. This commander had no way of knowing what he was saying. The only way that they could think that Harm and Mac were married is if they had followed Harm and Mac these last few weeks. These guys had done just that wanting to know all about Harmon Rabb Jr. Out of all his friends no one was as close as Mac.

As Harm walked in they hit Mac hard in the ribs again. Harm tried to stand upright expecting it this time. Harm did flinch a little but that was enough for one of the ensigns to see it. The ensign that saw it went to commander Black and the other commander and told them. It looks like every time we hit her Harm gets hurt to. The commanders wanted to see if this was true. "Oh come on commander, you don't want me to hurt your wife anymore now do you? " Harm could not take anymore. "You are here to settle something with me let her go!" Harm had no problem with himself being killed for something he had done. However he had a big problem with Mac dying for something he had done. That was not going to happen Harm told himself. No matter wha,t he was not going to let that happen. Mac had a lot going for her and a family here at JAG that needed her. These men weren't going to take her away from them.

"Commander Black, you told me the other day that things did not work out for me that way. Did you know that some time back I had to go up against the man who taught me how to fly and he did worse to me then this Captain did to you? " Keep him talking Harm thought. If he is talking, it will give the guys outside the time they need to get around and get in here without any one else getting hurt.

Outside the door

The judges were talking with Aj telling him what had happened.When they got to the part about Harm being hurt with no one being around him, AJ took it well and didn't asking about it. "Aj for some reason, these men seem to think Harm and Mac are married. Do you know why they would think that?" Aj informed them that no matter how far apart Harm and Mac had gone with there friendship people still thought that. The issue was dropped. Aj turned to the man in charge and asked him how long tell they could get in. "Sir if commander Rabb keeps this up, only a few minutes. My men are going in around the back by the judges' offices. " Aj sent a small prayer upward, " Please let this go ok with the less blood as can be." A few minutes later Aj's prayer was answered when the guards got in to the room. Harm had kept them talking to him or hurting him not Mac.

Inside the courtroom- same time

Harm was sitting there waiting on the men to do something. When commander Black saw that Mac and Harm were looking at each other, he hit Mac across the face hard. This got Harm as close to her as he could get before the two ensigns pulled him back. "Why are you hitting her? You want me right? Then be a man and come get me. Don't hide behind Mac. " Being called a coward and told that he was hiding behind a woman was not what the Commander Black was expecting to be called. "Why would I waste my time hitting you when all I have to do is hit her and you get hurt too."

Mac was mad that the connection that she and Harm had was being used to hurt him. "Do you not want to see how good I am any more or was that just a show till Harm got here? " The commanders looked at each other. "Well let's see, to hurt Harm as you call him would be fun but to let him see how much more you like me than him.Now that would more enjoyable. You do know that I am a better man then he is right? You do know that once you are mine you stay that way no matter what happens you will only see me with you. Even if by some chance Harm here gets you and him out of this, you will only want my touch. When you're having sex, it will be my hand you feel on your body not his. " Harm was about to go mad. There was no way that these men were ever going to get the chance to hurt Mac, let alone enjoy her as the commander had said. Harm had tried to get over to where Mac was, but the two ensigns and the other commander stopped him by hitting him in the stomach with the lead pipe that they had used on Mac. They wanted Harm down, just not out yet. That time would come soon enough but the idea of getting their hands on a woman that looked like Mac and not having to worry about getting hurt was something they could not pass up. Mac had hoped that this would be the case. This would buy the men outside more time she thought and keep them away from Harm.

Commander Black had his hands on Mac's uniform jacket just as Harm got a breath in. "Mac no!! Why don't you all pick on me leave her alone. You don't need to do that to hurt me. I can take that. The only thing I can't take is for Mac to see me hurt and dying. " When the men heard this they decided that Harm would not lie like this to protect Mac. They were wrong. To a point he did lie but he didn't when he told them that it would hurt him to have Mac see him like that. If they hurt me then Mac will get over me sooner then she would if they did that to her Harm thought. Just as the men landed their first round of punches on Harm, the doors in all areas of the courtroom came open and the 4 men who started it all just started shooting. The guards were ready for this and in turn the only people that were hurt more were the 4 men.

When the shootout ended suprisingly no one was dead, hurt bad, but everyone would live. Mac was taken by one of the guards outside the judges' door to make sure she was ok. Harm on the other hand had no where to go. He was surrounded by the 4 men and had to just wait on someone to come get him. When Harm was freed from the men, he was taken to the hospital and released a few hours later. Mac had been taken to the hospital right away and then she was released around the same time as Harm was.

Mac was in better shape then Harm was, but emotionally, Harm was far worse then Mac. Harm laid there waiting on the doctor to tell him he could go home thinking about what Mac almost had to go through for his sake. Mac was wantng to know how Harm was. The connection ended when the guards came in. Aj was in the waiting room with Harriet and Bud. Mac came out first. Harm soon followed. Harm could not look at Mac. He said hello to her and walked right out to Aj and asked him for a ride home. Mac was hurt but was more upset that Harm would not want to talk to her. AJ told Harm that he would take him home if that's what he wanted but he should at least talk to Mac. "Sir with all due respect I can't right now. " Aj thought of why Harm couldn't talk to her right now but was hoping that Harm could come to terms with it.

"Ma'am, can we give you a ride home?" Harriet asked Mac. Mac was still standing there with a hurt look on her face. "Thank you Harriet, that would be good. " Bud saw that Mac was not going to say anything on the drive to her apartment. Bud let it go for a little bit. Right before they got to her place Bud asked "Mac you do know why Harm did that the way he did don't you?" Mac was taken aback. Not only was Bud not being his shy self but he was calling her and Harm by their names and not their ranks. That got her attention. "Yes Bud I know he was hurt so he's taking time to heal and letting me come to terms with it to. " Bud thought for two people that were so smart they were acting so dumb. "Ma'am, from what I heard the Admiral say, these men were after Harm and you offered for them to take you instead of him. Is that right?" Bud just watched Mac shake her head yes then he went on."You do know that you are the most important thing in this world to him right? For you to be hurt because of him was something he needs to come to terms with." Mac sat there a minute "Bud we have had each others back for some time now. Why would this time be any different?" Bud and Harriet both wanted to smack Mac upside the head. Harriet was the first one to talk up "Ma'am the other times were in the line of duty. This time was because of him being seen as the Navy's poster boy as he had said. " Mac thought about it for a minute. Then an idea hit her.

"Bud, do you all have anywhere you need to be right now?" Bud was wondering where Mac was going with this but told her "no ma'am. We don't have to be anywhere for a few hours. " Mac's mind kept going and she soon knew what she wanted to do. "Harriet do you think you could help me for a few minutes? Bud, will you call the admiral and see if he's still with Harm. I really need to talk to him. " After saying all this, Mac and Harriet got out of the car and went into Macs apartment. Bud called the admiral. Bud was told that Aj would be there soon and that he needed to have a word with Mac as well. With an answer, Bud went up to see what his wife and Mac were doing.

This is all for now the rest will be up soon. Please let me know what you think. Thanks again for the reviews.
