Airport
One Hour after Harm's flight

Trish sat with her son and husband trying to get her son to talk a little bit more about what's been happening in his life while they were waiting for her other son's and her brother's plane to arrive.
"So darling how's Mac doing?" Trish asked patting his knee.
"She's engaged mom. Please don't start again." Harm glanced at his watch. His brother's flight should be arriving soon, but not soon enough. He could wait till Tuck got here and their mom would start getting on Tuck for not being married and leave him alone.
"I don't know what you're talking about Harm. All I'm asking is how your partner and friend is. I don't see anything wrong with that. By the way what did you think I was talking about?" Trish smiled at her son.
"I know you mom. You were going to talk to me about getting married and settling down."
"Well now that you mentioned it. You're not getting any younger."
"Mom..." Harm started but was interrupted by the announcing that his brother's plane had arrived and the passengers would be disembarking soon.
Harm stood up along with his mom and his step-father and tried to see where his brother was. It wasn't long before Harm spotted a shorter, dark headed man walking off the plane.
"Tucker!" His mom hollered and Tuck made his way over to his family.
"Mom, I go by Spoon now." He said as he hugged his mother.
"Not to me you aren't. Your Tuck." Trish released him and he shook hands with his stepfather. "Tuck where is your uncle? He was supposed to be on the flight." Trish looked around for her brother.
"He's taking a transport out later. He had to wait on a few papers. I'm going to go pick him up tomorrow."
Spoon turned and looked at his brother.
"You've grown squirt!" Harm smiled as he ruffled his brother's hair then engulfed him into a hug.
"Would you stop calling me that?" Spoon asked pulling away and the family made their way to the baggage claim area.
"What do you want me to call you? Tucker? Tuck? Jarhead? Captain? Remember I am of a higher rank." Harm grinned.
"Spoon will do just fine, squid."
"Now, Now boys." Trish teased. "Tell me Tuck how's Terri doing?" Trish asked not knowing that they had split ways awhile back.
"Uh...mom...Terri and I split ways awhile ago."
"oh." Trish sounded disappointed.
Harm was about to say something when his cell phone rang.
"I can't believe you brought that thing." Trish scolded.
"Sorry mom, but I have to take this. It might be the Admiral." Harm walked away from the group and answered his phone. "Rabb."
"Harm did I catch you at a bad time?" Mac's voice came over the line.
"No were just picking up my brother at the airport. What's up?"
"That's something I want to talk to you about, but that can wait. I just talked to the Admiral and he's called Bud back to Washington. I was wondering if you could come out here for a few hours tomorrow. I know it's your leave and I'll make it up to you when we get home."
"Why'd the Admiral call Bud back to Washington?"
"The Admiral needs Bud to go to the Patrick Henry for an investigation and I really need your help."
"Sure what time do you need me there?"
"I was going to start the interviews at about 9. Is that late enough for you to get enough beauty sleep." Mac smiled.
"Ha, Ha, funny marine. Hold on a sec." Harm placed his hand over the phone and hollered at his brother. "Hey Tuck." Receiving a glare from his brother Harm changed the name. "Alright. Spoon what time to you need to pick up Uncle Bill?"
"I don't know 10 I guess. Why?"
"Tell you in a minute." Harm turned back to the phone. "That's fine. I'm going to bring my brother along too. You'll like him. He's a marine. Look I've got to go. See you at 9. Where are you going to be?"
"Meet me at the O Club."
"Alright 9 at the O Club." Both Harm broke the connecting turned back to his family.
On the other side of the line Mac smiled when Harm told her his brother was a marine. What a weird combination. A squid and a Jarhead being brothers. You learn something new every day.
