part two Sense of Loss
13 May 2003
JAG Headquarters
Mac left the next morning with Webb on his bizarre mission. Harm didn't like the idea of her going on one of Webb's missions without him. Webb's missions had a history of failing and something really bad happening.
He had always been there to cover her six. He didn't like the idea that Webb would be the one watching her six this time, especially if he was pretending to be her husband. No, he definitely didn't like that idea.
Harm spent the next week worrying about Mac as he heard nothing from anyone about the mission she was on. Harm wanted to check in with the Admiral everyday to make sure Mac was alright, but he knew he couldn't do that.
He didn't have the right. He wasn't officially involved with her. She was just his partner. Yeah ... right. He hadn't worked with her since Afghanistan. Those were glorious times he thought.
He didn't like landing in a minefield or having the natives shooting at them, but he did love spending all that time together with her. He had missed being with her that much. It was better than the before time, before he left to fly.
Having her so close to him was intoxicating. There was a sense of togetherness he had never felt before. It was like they had finally become a couple. It was great. It didn't matter where they were as long as they were together.
He had to give the Admiral the benefit of the doubt that the Admiral would let him know if anything happen to Mac. He hoped that the Admiral would give him the opportunity to go after her, to save her from Webb's ill conceived plan. But that didn't mean he wouldn't check in every few days.
Unfortunately for Harm that day finally came a few days later. He was checking with the Admiral on that particular day when the Admiral informed him that Mac and Webb had missed their last two check ins.
"Take a seat Commander. I'm sure I know why you're here." deadpanned the Admiral.
"Yes Sir, I was wondering if you had heard anything about the Colonel? Is everything still going okay and when will she be returning? They were only supposed to be gone a week. It's been ten days now Sir." replied a worried Harm.
"From what I understand Commander, the first part of their assignment went off without a hitch, but there was some complications before the second part could be accomplished." replied the Admiral solemnly.
"Webb and the Colonel have missed their last two check ins. They think Mac and Webb may have been captured."
"What are they doing to rectify the situation?" asked Harm. "Have they made any plans to get them out Sir?"
"The CIA isn't planning to do anything at the moment Commander. They don't want to acknowledge that the US government was involved with the elimination of a drug dealer." replied the Admiral shaking his head.
"What are we going to do Sir?" asked Harm with a pleading look in his eyes. He felt sure the Admiral would come up with something. He wouldn't leave one of his people behind. He was a SEAL.
"We're going to do nothing Commander. I've been ordered by the SecNav to stay out of it. It's a CIA mission. It's their responsibility to do something about going after Mac and Webb, no matter how long it takes." replied the Admiral dejectedly.
"But Sir! We can't leave her there, you can't let her stay there. You're a SEAL, she's a Marine. You don't leave men behind." pleaded Harm.
"I'm sorry Commander, but the Colonel knew what could happen on this mission. She also knew there wouldn't be anyone coming after her if she failed." replied the Admiral.
Harm looked at the Admiral dejectedly. He slowly got up and walked backed to his office to think. What was he going to do? There was no way he was going to do nothing. One way or another he was going to find out where Mac was and then go after her. He'll have to make a few phone calls first.
The only person he knew who might be able help him was the little blond lawyer who worked for the CIA, Gayle something he thought. He found out she was having dinner at a local eatery.
He thought that maybe if he could catch her outside the office, just maybe she would be more willing to help him. He could use his flyboy charms on her. He never met a woman who could resist, even Sarah, though she always denied it.
Six hours later Harm was back at his place. God what an evening. What should have been a simple meeting somehow got to be so complicated, the story of his life.
He thought it was a good idea to take her to the hospital after she got that phone call, but no ... he got hoodwink into marrying Gayle because her mother was dying, or was it something else.
Then to see her mother's condition improve so much after the wedding, what else could go wrong? Good thing he had managed to get Bud to perform the wedding. What a doofus. Once again Bud found a way to screw up. How was it possible for him to performed a gay marriage ceremony?
There was one good thing that came out of all of the headache, he found out where Mac and Webb were. Once Gayle knew he was looking for Mac, she was very helpful. Another member of the Harm and Mac belong together fan club, he chuckled.
Now all he had to do was convince the Admiral to let him go and get her. It shouldn't be too hard, after all the Admiral was a SEAL. They were like the marines, they never left a man behind. Somehow he believed that once the Admiral had all the facts, he would let him go.
Harm went to bed. He needed to be fresh and alert when he went to see the Admiral. He had to be convincing. Mac's life depended on him finding her quickly. He didn't have time to waste.
