Emily hurried through JAG Headquarters, she was supposed to meet her cousin, Colonel Sarah MacKenzie, a half hour ago. She cringed, already imagining what her cousin would say. Not paying attention to where she was going, she walked right into a Marine Gunnery Sergant, who dropped all the files he was carrying.
"Oh, I am *so* sorry!" Emily exclaimed. Bending down she said, "Here, let me help."
"That's alright, I got it," the Marine answered, standing up.
Emily stood up also, handing him the files she had gathered. Their hands brushed, and Emily looked straight into his eyes.
"Sorry again," she said.
He nodded, before continuing down the hall. Emily turned around to stare at his retreating back. Feeling a shiver run down her spine, she headed towards the bullpen.
Looking around, Emily spotted Mac pacing in her office. Knocking on the door, she walked in.
"It's about time!"
"Hey, you know how I am about being on time."
"Yeah, exactly the same as Harm. Can't anyone ever get here on time?" Mac asked no one in particular. Sighing she went over to Emily.
"I'm glad you're here."
"I'm glad I'm here too. So, where's Harm? I would have expected you two to be inseperable," Emily said laughing.
Mac glared at her. Harm chose that time to walk into Mac's office. Seeing Emily, he stopped abruptly.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'll come back later," he stammered, turning to go.
"No, Harm, wait. This is my cousin Emily MacKenzie."
Emily studied Harm. "Nice to meet you. Boy Mac, you got yourself a keeper here."
Mac glared at her again. Harm leaned over and whispered, "You were late, weren't you?"
Seeing Emily nod he replied, " I know how you feel."
"If you two are done, Emily and I have to pick Chloe up at the airport."
"Bye Harm," called Emily.
"Harm, we'll see you later at the Admiral's," Mac stated, grabbing her coat and cover.
The two cousins left JAG and walked into the snowy parking lot to Mac's car.
"Why don't I get to meet this Admiral now?" asked Emily.
"Because you were late. Now get in the car!" ordered Mac.
"Ma'am! Yes Ma'am!" shouted Emily. Mac just rolled her eyes and started the car.
