"Who is this?" came a sleepy voice on one end of the phone. When Harm didn't hear a reply to his question he thought it was some weirdo prankster but then he heard quiet sniffling on the other end of the line.

" Harm."

"Mac, Is that you?? What's wrong? Are you ok?"

In spite of the anxiousness she was feeling she had to smile at his concern. " No, Harm, I'm fine. It's Jerald.he was.he was murdered about an hour ago."

"Murdered? Is there something I don't know about?"

" He sometimes works for criminals without knowing it. He said that someone is after him and his daughter. He came earlier tonight and left his daughter, Kat, with me and.."

"Back up a second.he left his daughter with you?"

"Yes Harm and she is so adorable. What am I going to say to her? She's only about seven years old.she'll be devastated to hear her father died."

" Do you want me to come over, Mac?"

"I don't know, Harm, It would be easier with you by my side but you sound as if yuou need some sleep."

"MAC.sleep can wait. We're talking about an orphaned child here, Surely you don't think I'm that heartless, do you?

"Ok then, I'll be waiting."

"I'll be there in 20 mins"

"Thanks Harm."

"For you.always welcome"
