Mac was not happy about the door being shut in her face. Even worse was hearing the door get locked on her. Mac spun on her heels and ordered Bud and Harriet into her office. She needed to know why they hadn't told her about Harm and that damn flying snake.
Once her office door was closed Mac turned to her friends and said "I want to know why neither of you told me about this?"
Bud decided to be the man and protect his wife. He said "Commander Rabb ordered us not to tell anyone about his personal life. He said and I quote my life outside the office is just that my life end quote. Sorry ma'am but Commander Rabb is right, we have no right to butt into his life."
"What about my life? Maybe I was coming back for him? Now I have lost him to that witch! We have to find a way to get him to come back to me." Mac stated
Harriet spoke next "Sorry ma'am but the Admiral said the commander's life is his to live and we are not allowed to interfere. I won't go against him and neither will Bud!"
Mac was pissed now. The Admiral was on that bitch's side. There has to be a way to get rid of her.
Bud and Harriet slipped away from Mac knowing the lid was about to blow. Mac got an idea and was in the process of working on it when Admiral Chegwidden walked in.
"Mac! Don't do it! They haven't broken any rules. You do anything to try and get rid of Lt. Hawkes and I will personally charge you with conduct unbecoming. You cannot use the UCMJ for your own personal vendetta." With that said the Admiral left
Meanwhile inside Harm's office, Beth said "I like it when you get all protective of me!"
"I thought you might. Now where were we?" Harm said kissing her again. Harm knew he really shouldn't but he couldn't help himself.
"Harm, we are at your office! Save it for when we get home!" Beth admonished
"Fine if I have to!" Harm pouted
About that time Tom Boone walked thru the bullpen to go see AJ. Tom could sense the tension in the room. Most of it coming from a certain female Marine Colonel. He wished he could put Harm on his staff but since he and Hawkes were together he couldn't.
AJ heard the call of Admiral on Deck and came out of his office. While him and Tom Boone didn't always agree but they were at least friendly to each other. "Admiral Boone, Good to see you!" AJ
AJ led Tom Boone into his office. "What do we owe the pleasure?" AJ asked
"Well I was told I need a JAG. My choice won't work and you know why. However, I will be needing his help in selecting one. I trust him and if tells me the lawyer is good than that works for me." Boone answered
"I can allow him to assist in the selection process. I am assuming Lt. Hawkes is here and with Rabb. I am certain the whole earth heard the Colonel's reaction." AJ stated
Tom Boone nodded and wondered how AJ was going to deal with that Marine. It was time to bring Rabb in. "Should we summon the love birds?"
"I think it's time! TINNER!"
"Sir?"Tinner asked
"Call Rabb and them him to bring Lt. Hawkes with him!" The admiral ordered
Rabb and Hawkes appeared as ordered. Rabb was assigned to help Boone and to assist him at his office. Admiral Chegwidden wanted to have some peace in the office and if Harm was there than Mac would be on the war path. If Rabb was out the office than maybe it was be quiet. AJ was even considering assigning Mac to any case away from the office.
Mac came out of her office about an hour later. She was still in a horrible mood. Harm had finally moved on and left her behind. I am gonna find a way to get rid of her and make him mine again. Now how do I do that?
Mac was terrifying the staff. No one knew where Commander Rabb had gone. Mac knew he had left with that little flying snake. Damnit I lost another battle she thought
Harm meanwhile was reading through personal files for Admiral Boone. He already had an idea of who to suggest to Admiral Boone. One Lt. Loren Singer, she was a spitfire for certain. Loren could use someone like Thomas Boone to break her Ice Queen appearance and make her a better officer. She was a good officer but she needed to learn that working with others is better than trying to one up them. Tom Boone would love the challenge. Skates would be there to play referee between the two. Also she could give tips to Loren Singer on how best to deal with Admiral Boone.
Admiral Thomas Boone strode into his office to find Harm smiling. This concerned Thomas Boone because he had known Harmon Rabb Jr since he was born. Rabb men all had the same smile. His father usually got that smile right before setting up some sort of joke.
"Alright Rabb! Out with it before that smile gets too big!" Admiral Boone Stated
"Sir I know just the JAG for you. You'll like her a lot. She remind you of a young me before you taught me all about the Navy." Harm retorted
"OH GOD! WHO?" Boone asked
