Harm had just gotten to work when he noticed, a note sitting on his desk.
"Admiral wants to see us ASAP. Hopefully you'll get in on time today and we won't get in trouble ^_^ --Mac"
Harm smiled as he noticed that he had actually gotten in to work fifteen minutes early. Must be some kind of record he thought. He knew Mac would be teasing him about it. But he didn't mind. She always looked so beautiful when she did. The way she would smile and get that gleam in her eyes. Oh how he loved it when she smiled. 'Oh how I love her' he thought. 'Wait where did that come from? Love?' Harm thought but then sighed. It was true had been hopelessly in love with his beautiful marine partner since he first met her, but he could never seem to get up the courage to tell her. The few times he had tried the timing was never right.
Harm knocked on Mac's door and went in after he heard her say, "Enter."
"Hey Mac. The Admiral wants to see us?" Mac looked up obviously surprised to see him.
"Yea he does. And since you are actually on time for once maybe he won't chew out our sixes." Mac said as she approached Harm a worried look on her face.
"What?" he asked noticing the look she was giving him.
"Do you have a fever," she said as she placed her hand to his forehead.
"Not that I know of," he said still disturbed by the serious look on her face.
"Is tonight a full moon?"
"I have no idea," Harm said obviously confused.
That's when Mac started laughing, confusing Harm even more. She loved his face when he was confused. He looked like a kid who had not been paying attention and had just been called on by the teacher to answer a question. He was so cute. She also loved teasing him and she knew no matter how annoyed he might seem he loved it too.
'Love.' The word seemed to float through her head. She had to face the facts. It was true; she was hopelessly and madly in love with Harm. Had been since the day she met him. But their timing never seemed to be right. After her fiasco with Mic, Mac had realized that even if nothing ever happened between her and Harm, there would never be any other man in her life. She knew that Harm was her one true love. It was him or no one.
"Your on time Squid. I say the only way to rationalize that is fever, or full moon," she said with a smile.
Harm matched her smile with his flyboy grin that always left her weak in the knees.
"Marine just wait till the day your late," he said still smiling.
"Never happen," she said as she walked past him a saucy smile on her face.
Harm just shook his head as he followed her to the Admiral's office.
"Sir Commander Rabb and Colonel Mackenzie to see you sir," Tiner said as he buzzed them in.
"Send them in."
Harm and Mac walked into their CO's office and both let out a call of "Webb" as they saw the spy seated in the corner of the room.
"Colonel, Commander," Webb said as they sat down.
"Webb has just given me some interesting information. And for once even if Webb hadn't asked you to participate I would have seeing as this case is a Navy matter."
"Sir," Harm said confused for the second time this morning.
"It seems that there has been several incidents of murder in Las Vegas and the suspects are two naval reservists. But there isn't enough evidence to prosecute. That's where you and the Colonel come in," AJ told them.
"You and Mac are going to Las Vegas undercover," Webb began. "The murdered couples all were young wealthy couples who spent large amounts at the gambling tables. These couples also tend to be flashy as far as their money is concerned. You and Mac are going undercover as married couple that is staying at the MGM Grande hotel. The three couples murdered so far had been staying at this hotel. Are hope is that whoever is behind these killings will be attracted you and hopefully we'll be able to get to them this way. If it is indeed the two men the Las Vegas police think it is, then we will get all the evidence necessary to prosecute."
"Why does the CIA have such a vested interest in a case like this?" Harm asked interested to hear the answer. Usually when Webb came attached to an assignment so did trouble.
Webb face turned to stone. "The CIA doesn't have an interest in this case. But I do. One of the people that were murdered was my cousin."
"I'm sorry Clay," both he and Mac said.
"I just want to find out who did this."
"So do I," AJ told the two officers.
"How long will be gone Admiral?" Mac asked.
"That is uncertain. As long as it takes to gather the information needed. You will leaving at 1500 hours so you have the rest of the day off to pack."
"Yes sir," they said in unison.
"Dismissed."
Harm and Mac made their way from their CO's office to collect their stuff.
"Mac I'll pick at 1300 to take you to the airport ok?"
"Sure that would be great," Mac said as she gathered her belongings and headed for the elevator.
Once Mac was home she started going through her closet deciding what she should bring. Being a rich couple she assumed that's exactly how they would be dressing rich. Webb had later informed them that he had given each of them a credit card, which they could use to purchase additional clothing items, and anything else they deemed necessary once they got to Vegas. She packed one suitcase and a garment bag hoping it was sufficient.
Harm was having similar wardrobe dilemmas. He decided that he would pack several civilian suits. Something he didn't where often. Once he was done like Mac, he had a suitcase and a garment bag.
For the second time that day, Mac noted that Harm was on time as she heard a knock on her door at exactly 1300.
She opened the door and her breath caught as she saw what he was wearing. He definitely looked sexy in the khaki pants blue shirt that brought the color in eyes and the navy sport jacket.
Harm also was speechless as he saw Mac was wearing tight black pants that hugged her perfectly. And for a top she had chosen a nice red silk shirt.
"Uh you ready to go?" Harm asked once he found his voice.
"Yea," Mac still a little breathless.
Harm loaded their bags into the SUV and headed to Dulles. They reached the airport and he parked his car in a long-term lot. They had checked their luggage and were waiting to board.
"Delta Airlines flight 117 to Las Vegas now Boarding, First Class and Business passengers."
"That's us," Harm said as he grabbed their small carryon bags.
They had boarded the plane and now were awaiting take of. Once the plane taxied away from the gate. Harm really thought about the assignment. He was married to Mac! Even if it was just for the duration of the investigation he couldn't help suppress the excitement that bubbled up. He was looking forward to the assignment.
Staring out the window Mac was having similar thoughts.
Neither of them knew what this assignment in Sin City would do to their relationship.HHaH
