Fade out...
In the weeks and months to pass; things would never be the same. The Admiral had changed a lot. He became more and more bitter, and came down harder on the JAG staff if something was done wrong. Everyone at JAG was real careful not anger him, or even mention her name. He seemed to be this way with everyone except Harm. Everyone knew the Admiral felt sorry for him, and they couldn't blame him.
Harm, had made a total change. He didn't smile anymore; or care concerning anything. He did his work and left. Everyone knew why he was turning down partners. They knew no one could replace Mac. No one was sure how close they were, but they knew not to say anything about that in front of him. It almost seemed like he didn't care about anything anymore.
Bud and Harriet, on the other hand kept a closer eye on Harm. They constantly invited him over for things like birthdays, holidays, and diners, but he just kept turning them down. They knew he didn't mean to hurt there feelings, but they knew he just wanted to be alone. They knew he blamed himself for letting Mac go, as if he should have been there to stop her, or should have seen this coming. And there was nothing they could do for him.
The Admiral had given Harm the day off, and was a lunch break, so he thought he should check up on him. He found him at a garage not far from his apartment. He was fixing up and old car. The Admiral was glad he was doing something.
AJ: How's it going Rabb?
HARM: Sir, what are you doing hear?
AJ: Well, I was on my lunch break, so I thought I would stop by.
HARM: Checking up on me, sir?
AJ: (Sighed.) Yeah. You're worrying everyone Harm.
HARM: I know sir, and I don't mean to.
AJ: I know you miss her Rabb, we all do, but-
HARM: But I have to get over it sir.
AJ: It's not as easy as it sounds.
HARM: No, it not.
AJ: Especially for you.
HARM: Yes sir.
AJ: You want to talk about it?
HARM: (Sighed.) No sir. I wouldn't know what to say. I mean she just left.
AJ: I have been holding off processing her AWOL papers, but I put them in this morning.
(Harm sat on the bumper, and Admiral, sat on a crate across from him.)
HARM: She has been my partner for five years, sir. Everyday when I went to work, I knew she would be there. She wasn't just my partner, but my best friend. She was....
(But Harm couldn't finish.)
AJ: You love her, don't you Rabb?
(Harm looked up at him surprised. Harm softly laughed.)
HARM: I do sir. But I just never told her. I didn't know how.
AJ: There is never an easy way to say that you love someone.
HARM: Especially when there not hear to hear it.
AJ: You'll be okay Harm. You will.
HARM: Yes sir.
(After the Admiral left, Harm threw down his tool, and took another drink from his beer. He knew he was drinking to much, but he didn't care. With Mac gone, he really didn't care about anything anymore.)
Fade out....
Mac cautiously opened her eyes, hoping it was all a bad dream, but she knew it wasn't. It had been exactly sixty three days since she had been abducted, and taken to her new 'home.' as Palmer called it. She was sitting in her kitchen reading the paper. She had just read the article, about Palmer escaping, and was about to call Harm, when her doorbell rang. He had come into her apartment late one night dressed as a delivery man, and when he had knocked her out, and tied her up. Mac knew she was in trouble. When she had come to, he explained her what was going and what he planed for her and Harm.
(Sixty three days earlier.)
PALMER: You see Colonel it's very simple. I take you hostage, and make it look like you went AWOL. To everyone it looks like you are leaving your career behind, and not to mention all of your friends behind, especially Harm. And you know how that will crush him, when he finds out that you have left.
MAC: I won't do it.
PALMER: Oh I think you will. You see, it's either you write that note, and come with me, or I can call my friend, who is monitoring the Commander's place, and have him kill you're Flyboy.
(Mac gave him a weird look.)
PALMER: Wondering how I know that stupid little nick name you gave him. I have been watching the two of you for the past few months.
MAC: You bugged our phones.
PALMER: Oh you catch on quick. You see I have a score to settle with the Commander, and Agent Webb. What better way to settle it, then to take away the only thing that means anything to them.
MAC: They have a lot more that means something to them then me.
PALMER: (Laughs.) You two must be blinder then I thought. Everyone knows that you and Rabb love each other, but have yet to admit it. How romantic. It makes me sick.
(Mac opened her mouth, and then closed it again. Palmer laughed.)
PALMER: Speechless?
MAC: (Whispers.) Go to hell Palmer.
(Present.)
(Mac knew that she would do anything to protect Harm. Even if that means, being held hostage by this creep. He always brought her pictures of Harm that he clamed he had his 'Friend' take, and if she ever tried anything, he would have him killed. She also knew that there was no chance for her to be rescued, since she left that note, that Palmer had her sign. She just had to hope for a chance to get away. She wouldn't give up hope to get back to Harm. She had a lot to tell him. She remembered a song that she heard on the radio, and how it described her, and how she felt about Harm.)
Everybody's got something
They had to leave behind
One regret from yesterday
That just seems to grow with time
There's no use looking back or wondering
How it could be now or might have been
Oh this I know
But still I can't find ways to let you go
I never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though that I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be will always be
With you...
Somewhere in my memory
I lost all sense of time
And to my world can never be
Cause yes that day is all that fills my mind
There's no use looking back or wondering
How it should be now or might have been
Oh this I know
But still I can't find ways to let you go
I never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
And even though that I pretend that I moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
Your the one I think about each day
And no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be with you
You'll always be the dream that fills my head
Yes you will, say you will, you know you will
You'll always be the one I'll never forget
There's no use looking back or wondering
Because love's a stranger and wasn't then
No matter how I try and try
I just can't say goodbye
I never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even thought that I pretend that I moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
That you're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be with you....
(Mac sighed, and tried not to cry. She had a lot that she had to tell Harm, but he must think that she abandoned him. What would he say to her when he saw her? How could she face him now? Even though it wasn't her fault for leaving, she couldn't tell him.)
