JAG Headquarters, Falls Church, Virginia.

Mac was sorting through some files for her latest case but her mind was not in it. Yesterday Jerald has gone back to England and his JAG base. (A/N I don't know if there is a JAG office in England but just imagine there is) He wanted to be with her and he was going to transfer into Falls Church. Mac wasn't exactly thrilled. This was starting to look more and more like another Mic Fiasco. She didn't have the guts to tell him that it'll never work out between them; after all they have been dating for 2 months now. "I'll just have to break up with him when /he/ realizes it wont work." She thought to herself.

And on top of all that, today there had been another episode about her. This was the second one and it was a special about her exes. She was hurt and upset at how the whole thing suggested that she couldn't handle a decent relationship with a man like a normal woman. Sure, they had showed her medals and made sure to mention all the difficult assignment she had taken on for her country. But they said it in an offhand way as if anyone would do the same and the way it focused on her personal life was getting to be very unnerving.

Just then a knock sounded on her door.

"Enter" she called. Harriet came in carrying some papers.

" Lieutenant, did you find anything?" she asked anxiously.

" No ma'am the station wouldn't give out the source. I got Tiner to call them and ask for a Mrs. Lockhart. She was on the opening credits as the exec. Producer. I was hoping that Tiner could charm it out of her but unfortunately she is married. But Tiner got to hear some colorful language in the process." Harriet finished with a smile.

"Well, at least that's something." Mac offered a small smile "But what's in the paper?"

" Well ma'am I got Mrs. Lockhart's address.maybe you should go talk to her."

" Thanks Harriet.I think I will" She said taking the paper from Harriet and studying it.

Harm came in just as Harriet walked out. He leaned on the doorframe watching Mac. The light coming from the open window illuminated her face, and her brown hair was shining with streaks of auburn. Harm found himself wondering why he just couldn't let go and be with this wonderful woman. She was smart, intelligent and the most beautiful woman she ever saw. And on top of all that She loved her like he never thought he could love anyone. "Maybe that's what is scaring me." He unconsciously said it aloud

" What's scaring you?" asked Mac bemused.

"Ohh.umm..nothing."

"Well then, do you need something?"

'I need a lot of things' he thought to himself. "Since when do I need a reason to see my best friend-&-fav-partner-in-marine-wrapping?"

Mac just smiled and said "I didn't know I was your favorite partner."

"Well, you are."

"Anyway, do you want to come with me to find the Producer of the show. I'm going tonight." She asked.

"Sure Mac. But what are you going to ask her. Obviously she'll recognize you and clam up, especially if they were exposing your personal life intentionally to hurt you."

" You got a point. How about if you go with Bud and find out for me. Just say something like how you like the looks of me and wanted to find out things about me. Lead that on to where she got information and Wham! You got the source."

" Thanks but I do have a brain you know. I don't depend on yours for /everything/." Harm said in a mock hurt voice.

"Yeah.Yeah.get a move on Rabb."
