2100 ZULU, Mac's Apartment.
Mac was leaning against her kitchen counter deep in thought when a loud knock jolted her out of it. She looked through the peephole to find Jerald on the other side. She heaved a huge sigh and wondered whether to open the door or not. She finally slid off the bolt and opened it. Jerald came barging in holding on tightly to a small child. " Mac.please you have to listen to me." He said noting her surprise. She motioned for him to go on. "I admit at first I dated you to get information, but I really did fall in love with you. It was all real after the first few dates. I stopped giving them information but they threatened to kidnap Kat." At this he stopped and explained. "Mac this is my daughter Katrina, Kat this is Mac." The little girl shyly shook Mac's outstretched hand. It was uncanny how similar Kat was to Mac. " I know you look kind of alike.that's one of the reasons I fell in love with you." Jerald said softly.
" They're coming after us, Mac." He told her. "They didn't just do a show on you they actually wanted to hurt you. I didn't know at first but I think it's an enemy of yours."
" What do you mean 'they're coming after us'?"
" I mean me and Kat. I work for the SBS (A/N It's a big media unit) as an undercover journalist. Most people don't know, but it's a dangerous job. I sometimes work for underground criminals too, without even knowing it. It's a dirty job but it paid well all these years, and it's the only thing I've been good at. But now it's no use, I failed to do my job so they're going to kill me and Katrina."
All through this the little girl had been quiet but now she spoke up. " Daddy, are you going to leave me?" She asked with big brown eyes.
"Sweetie, Daddy has to go now.but I'll bring you a big teddy when I come back. She loves soft toys" Jerald said aside to Mac.
"Jerald, of course you're not leaving. If those people are looking for you, you have to at least be in hiding for awhile."
"I have some business unfinished and I have to get to it before it's too late, Mac. Don't worry, I'll be all right. Promise you'll take good care of Katrina?"
"I'll do my best."
"Thanks" He said and gave her a tender little kiss on the lips. "I know I'm not in any position to ask this but I have to know.Sarah, Do you love me?" He asked gently.
Mac was at loss for words. She knew she didn't love him. She never had.It had always been Harm who held her heart. But it also meant that Mac had been stringing Jerald along when she knew she could never love him. Jerald also noted the many emotions playing across her face. He was disappointed but not surprised. 'Commander.you don't deserve her' He thought to himself. Aloud he said..
"It's Harm isn't it?"
He sighed when she nodded slowly. "It's ok. It really is Mac. I Understand." He said sadly looking at the small child in his lap. She was now sound asleep looking like a little angel. It broke Mac's heart to see the tender sight. She had longed for a family like this. But it was with Harm that she wanted it, not anyone else. 'At the rate our relationship is going we'll be single when we die.at least I will be, who's to say if Harm wont marry some blonde from Lord knows where?' she thought gloomily.
"Well, I better get going. Can I put her in bed or something?" Jerald asked.
" Yeah, she can have my bed. I have a folding one I can use. And don't say a word because it's no problem at all." She assured him.
He carried Katrina to the room, gently kissed her forehead and tucked her in. He then gave Mac a kiss and grabbed his jacket.
"I'm sorry Jerald." Was all Mac could manage to say as Jerald stepped out the door and out of her life. ~Maybe for good, maybe not~
