As Time Goes By

Chapter 10

In less then 24 hours the team of temporal dynamic scientists led by Dr. Roberts and accompanied by Major Montego was arranged and settled in DC. While the team was officially briefed, Major Montego accompanied by Dr. Roberts and a handful of federal agents, left for JAG headquarters.

Rabb Residence

Mac sat on the couch trying to muster any last energy before work, she was physically drained, and this pregnancy was a little difficult. Her doctor has encouraged her to take an early maternity leave, but Mac was persistent and refused to take off any additional time off before the girls were born.

"Mac maybe you should come in a little later the admiral would understand." Harm offered, Mac shifted on the couch trying to prove that she had the endurance to make it through the morning. "Sarah please." Mac could tell by the tone in his voice that he was greatly concerned for her health, and she was to exhausted to argue.

"I guess I could come in a little later." Mac agreed, the admiral had suggested that Mac take it easy over the past few days. Harm smiled placed a kiss on her forehead and left her cell phone on the table next to her before leaving. Mac removed her shoes propping them up on the coffee table and turned on the morning news.

JAG headquarters

One hour later

Harm had already reported to the admiral and found himself buried in paperwork within the confines of his office, as he finished up the paper work on a four month old case, Major Montego, Dr. Roberts and their team made their way to the admiral's office.

"What is this?" Admiral Chegwidden demanded holding up the small packet of paper that the major had just offered him. The major stood his ground, he stood up straighter before continuing.

"It has been determined that Lieutenant Natalie Rabb and Lucy Rabb are a threat to nation security, and under the Patriot Act we are enacting the right to place the lieutenants in our custody, sir." The major described.

"That is preposterous, these ladies are in no way a threat to nation security." As he spoke these words he began to wonder how he could warn the twins before the feds reached them.

"Its already to late Admiral, we have taken the lieutenants into custody, sir." There was a silent pause. "We would also like to interview Colonel Rabb." The admiral glared at the major.

"Major Montego, Colonel Sarah Rabb is an honorable and patriotic marine, she is in no way a threat to national security." The admiral defended.

"We do not question her loyalty sir, Dr. Roberts and his team wish to address other topics." The admiral's glare shifted to the doctor.

"I will not allow you to physically hurt the colonel or the lieutenants." The admiral defended.

"We do not intend to physically harm anyone Admiral, but unfortunately this is out of your hands." The doctor finally spoke up; one of the federal agents suddenly appeared by the major's side and whispered in his ear.

"Admiral, we need to know the where about of Colonel Rabb she was not in her office." The major demanded, he was clearly enjoying the advantage he had over the admiral.

"She must be on her way in then, you will have to ask Commander Rabb." Admiral Chegwidden lied, hopping this would buy him enough time to warn Mac and let her slip out.

"Then we will take her to our headquarters once she arrives, and rest assure Admiral we do not wish to hurt her in anyway, merely we wish to ask her a few questions." The major attempted to assure, but the admiral had dealt with his fare share of intelligence officers and agents in the past to see through this lie.

"Very well you're dismissed." The admiral was short, not even attempting to hide his anger, knowing that every second was valuable, it would not be long before they realized that he had lied. The team was slow to leave but not a second was spared as soon as the last man was out the admiral wasted no time in getting on a secured line to warn Mac.

I know I'm sorry it's short and choppy, but I wanted to post a new chapter, I promise the next one will be longer and better!
