The work the Admiral had made him leave yesterday seemed to have
doubled overnight. First of all one of the cases he had been working on had
turned into a suicide, which meant more paperwork. 'First things first,' he
thought, ' he dead guy's gonna stay dead so I'll leave him till last. He
began his closing statement for his case this afternoon against Sturgis. He
was almost finished when Petty Officer Tiner came to his office.
"Sir, Miss Konyk is here to see you."
"Send her in, Tiner."
"Yes sir." Tiner said and gestured someone in.
Harm stood up as a woman walked in. She wasn't as tall as harm, not by far, but her ladylike beauty radiated off her. Her hair was a magnificent orange- red. All in all, by the look Harm had seen in Tiner's eyes, she was drop- dead gorgeous. Harm remembered Alecia as a child and how she'd turned heads she soon enough avoid. However, that was no longer the case. Was she not his cousin, Harm himself would have dated her.
"Alecia," he greeted her, giving her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"Hi, Harm. It's been a really long time." Her soothing voice came out. It was slightly accented towards Canada, but her multiple years abroad had softened it. "I think that the last time I saw you was right before you joined the Navy."
"Wow, that's around seventeen years ago! Come to think of it, had Tiner not shown you in, I wouldn't have recognized you." He smiled. 'Always the charmer.'
"You on the other hand are the same, save your mature look."
"I was a bit of an ass when I was younger, wasn't I?" He grabbed his cover and put it on.
"A bit?" They laughed as Harm escorted her out of the room. On the way out they ran into Mac."
"Mac, I'd like you to meet Alecia Konyk. Alecia, this is my best friend, Sarah Mackenzie."
"Pleased to meet you." Alecia said softly but confidently.
"It's nice to meet you. You going out for lunch now?" Mac asked.
"Yup. We'll see you later. Bye, Mac."
"Bye." Harm watched as Mac confidently walked back to her office, and it struck him how much she'd been jealous of his girlfriends because she'd never held herself so high after seeing one of his many girlfriends. He loved how she was so confident now that they had taken a step in their relationship.
When they got into his car, Alecia seemed to have a faint smile on her lips. "What are you laughing at?" Asked Harm.
"Miss Mackenzie is a beautiful woman."
"Yes, she is."
"And.
"And what?
"And are you dating yet?"
"You were never so curious when we were kids."
"Times change, Harm. People change. So, are you dating her yet?
"I plead the fifth."
"Oh, you lawyers are no fun," She pouted.
"Alecia, what's happened to you?" Harm laughed, "You've become like Chelsea."
"Nope, I'm like Aunt Jolee. Chelsea is much worse then I am."
"Heaven forbid." They both laughed.
While they drove, Alecia told Harm about the family and work in her coffee shop chain: "Star Joe." It was perhaps the most successful coffee shop chain in Canada. She was in the United States collecting more Frank Sanatra item's for her shops. Each shop had unique and authentic memorabilia of the star the shop was themed after and she listed all of the places she owned to date.
After getting out of the car, Harm said: "Why Frank Sanatra?"
"Well, I've been a fan for years. Besides for Sammy Davis Junior, Bing Crosby, and Dean Martin, there isn't really anyone that can sing and entertain as well, though Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers and Gene Kelly, and. as you can see I can keep listing. In any case, these are the people that revolutionized song and dance in the in the worlds of theater, music, and on the big screen. Here's a list of my spots. She said pulling the list out of her pocket and handing it to Harm as they sat down.
