1 Chapter 10
'Where is he? I have to go see him.' Mac said jumping up and rushed to the door. She stopped at the small table near the door and picked up Harm's keys, since they had gone in Frank's car.
'Mac, no. I'll drive,' Trish said taking the keys off her. 'You're too upset to drive.'
The three of them rushed out of the house and into Harm's SUV. They drove in silence. Once in town, Trish parked in front of the church near the hospital. Mac jumped out of the car, still in her wedding dress, and started heading for the hospital.
'Mac, we have to go through the church,' Sarah said pointed to the church.
Mac didn't object. She followed the two in the door and stopped dead in her tracks when she saw Harm standing in full dress whites in front of the alter. She ran up to him and gave him a huge kiss. Then if finally sunk in as to what was going on. Mac pulled away from him and slapped him across the face. Realising what she had just done, Mac burst into tears, and ran out of the church.
Harm was about to go after her, when Trish stopped him. 'Stay here. I'll go talk to her.'
Walking outside, she found Mac sitting on a bench crying. Sitting down next to her, Trish put her arm around Mac's shoulders. 'Are you ok?'
'I hate him,' she said through her tears. 'Why did he do that?'
'He wanted to surprise you.'
'I seriously thought he was hurt. A car accident shouldn't be joked about. My best friend was killed in one when I was young,' she said as she fiddled with the necklace. 'What kind of person is he?'
'A person who loves you very much.'
'He has a weird way of showing it.'
'Mac look at me.' Trish told her future daughter-in-law. 'Harm loves you with all of his heart. He wanted your wedding day to be very special. Be quiet and let me finish,' she said as Mac was about to interrupt. 'He wanted this day to be around family and I don't think you noticed, but your wedding present was in there.'
'What do you mean?' Mac asked, drying her eyes.
'How about we go back in and you go stand next to your future husband. Then you'll be able to see your present.' Trish said standing. 'Come on.'
Mac slowly stood and they walked in.
'Look at you. You look beautiful.'
Mac quickly turned around when she realised who the voice belonged to. 'Uncle Matt!' she gave a hug but quickly pulled away. 'What are you doing here?'
'I think I'm hear to see my niece get married.' He replied smiling.
'That's not what I meant. How did you get here?'
'Well see that sailor up there near the alter.' He said pointing to Harm. 'And the guy over there in the suit.' This time pointing at Webb.
'Yeah,' Mac said smiling at the two of them.
'They pulled some strings and got me here.'
'Thankyou, both of you,' Mac said holding her uncle's hand. 'Since this is my wedding day, would you give me away Uncle Matt?'
'I would be honoured.'

Thursday, 1445 hours
The Fijian Resort
Suva, Fiji
The receptionist sat and watched the young, happy couple, walk towards the counter. They were so loving towards each other, that she guessed they were the newly weds from America.
'Welcome to the Fijian. How can I help the two of you?'
'Hi, we're here to check in.' Harm said placing their bags on the ground.
'Let me guess. The two of you are Mr and Mrs Rabb,' the receptionist said smiling.
'How did you know?' Mac asked in amazement.
'You can always pick the newly weds. Ok, the two of you have the bridal suite. I'll just get someone to take you to your room.'

Friday, 1030 hours
Harm and Mac walked slowly towards the crystal blue pool, where they had decided to spend the day.
'Are you enjoying yourself?' Harm asked as he rubbed sunscreen into Mac's back.
'Of course I am. Except for the bad feeling I keep having.'
'What do you mean?' Harm asked turning her around.
'It's probably nothing. Don't worry about it.' She said standing.
'Mac!' he said as he grabbed her around the waist and pulled her back into the chair. 'Start talking.'
'I keep having the feeling that we are being watched.'
'By who?' he asked looking concerned.
'I don't know. It's just a feeling.'
