Part 4

"Alright lets go. I'm starved"

"Hey isn't that supposed to be my line." Harm smiled at her.

"I guess your rubbing off on me" Mac just laughed.

"Come on flyboy, you have to feed me" Harm started the car, pulled out of the car park and headed to the dinner.

Part 5

1030 ZULU Penny's Diner Yuma Arizona

For the past the past hour Harm and Mac had been talking about there cases at Jag, about Chole, Sergei, Bud, Harriet, A.J, the Admiral, Sturgis and all there past adventures.

"Come on Mac that wasn't my fault, it's not like I gave the stripper my dress whites" Mac was trying so hard not to laugh but Harm had this wounded puppy dog look on his face.

"Maybe that wasn't your fault but don't try and tell me you had nothing to do with the bar fight"

"What, I had nothing to do with that fight. Bud's father is the one who started it, I was an innocent victim." Harm flashed Mac a flyboy grin.

Mac's mouth was wide open in shock. "You an innocent victim, right and Singer is my best friend"

"Well you do have the same ambitious drive"

"Well at least I can say neither Singer nor I go around starting bar fights" Mac had a smug grin on her face.

"What...come on Mac, in all the time you have known me do I go around starting bar fights" Harm tried to look hurt by Mac comment.

"Yes" Mac could barely control the laughter she was try hold. The look and Harm's face was priceless, his mouth was open so wide he look like a goldfish.

"What, beside Bud's stag when have I been in a bar fight"

"Think back to when you were undercover as a recon marine." Mac knew he would be surprised that she remembered that.

Damn I forgot about that Harm thought to himself. "Okay, you got me on that one but other than that"

"Well I know for a fact that you used to get in to bar fights all the time while you in the Academy." Mac watched Harm go pale at this bit of information. Harm was racking his brain trying to figure out how the hell she had leant this.

"How...I mean I never told you about that"

"You forgetting about the 3 days I spent with Keeter in the desert" Mac was loving every minute of this, she knew that what Keeter had told her would one day come in handy.

"What, Keeter told you about that." Harm was thinking about all the ways he could kill Keeter the next time he saw him.

"Yep"

"What else did he tell you" Harm was very worried now. Knowing the stuff that Keeter had on him and if he had told Mac any of it well she could very well blackmail him into the next century if she want to.

"He told me all about your end of year pranks" Mac knew Harm was worried about what Keeter told her. She wondered what would happen when Harm found out that Keeter only told her about the bar fights, after she had told him about Bud's stag. She was guessing about the end of year pranks.

"The next time I see Keeter I'm going to kill him"

"It's not his fault, It kind of slipped out"

"How, exactly did it slip out"

"Well I mentioned what happen at Bud's stag and how I had to bail you, Bud and the Admiral out of jail. Then Keeter mentioned that Sturgis had to bail the two of you at of jail once or twice. Then I kind of cross - examined him to get the rest."

"You cross - examined him" Harm was having a hard time trying to stop himself from laughing.

"What, if you want information out of someone you would of done the same thing."

"True, but I would have loved to see you give Keeter the third degree, the poor man didn't stand a chance against you."

"What about you did u stand a chance against me"

"Are you kidding, you have a power over me that no one has ever had. It's one of the things that scare me. You know I don't like not begin in control. Well when I'm around you, saying I lose control is an understatement." Harm was embrassed by what he just admitted.

"Wow, I have to admit, I would never thought anyone had that kind of power of you, especially me" Mac was surprised to say the least. To think she had the power to make Harm lose control. Mac had thought nothing on this earth had that much power over him.

"Mac when we first meet, I felt this connection to you and before you say it no it's not because you look like Diane. I had feelings for her but nothing to the extent of what I feel for you." Harm reached acrossed the table and lay his hand over hers. "Sarah I know I have done some stupid things when it come to you, but I promise for this day forward I will make it up to you. I will spend the rest of my life proving to you how much you mean to me. When we get back to D.C you and I are going to sit down and talk. I mean really talk about all that's happened in are past and we are going to talk about are future."

Mac just sat there in shock. "I...I don't know what to say. I mean when you let go you really let go. I was convinced that the only thing that would get you to open up would be nothing short that an act of God. I do want us to be together Harm, but I want to take this slow. I don't want anything to mess this up."

"I promise you, I won't let anything mess this up. This is are time and nothing will ever come between us again" Harm wasn't going to let anything or anyone stop them from begin together. "How about you show me around town" Deciding to come back to this conversation when they were alone.

"I'd love too" Harm stood up, walked over to Mac and held out his hand. Pulling her towards him, Harm placed a quick kiss on Mac's lips.

"So, where do you want to go first." Harm asked

"Well lets see, we could go to the mall first and then we can check out the shops on 16th street, they used to have this really nice dress shop there, Montego." "Well the lets go" Hand in hand Harm and Mac walked out of the diner.
