Agent Mike Davis was on his way to the maintenance parking lot when he heard gunfire. He immediately tried to reach Webb on his radio.
"Webb?" he shouted. No answer.
"Webb?"
'Where the hell could he be?'
"Shit," he cursed as he sprinted the rest of the way.
Harm looked around and made sure he wasn't dreaming. One second he remembered coming face to face with the muzzle of a pistol and the next he heard gunfire. But he noticed that he wasn't hurt and neither was Mac. That's when he noticed Webb, gun raised, standing behind Billy Randal. Webb had shot Billy just as he saw him raise his gun in Harm and Mac's direction.
"Nice timing Webb," Harm said grateful. Harm was so relieved that him and Mac we're ok that he didn't notice William Critchon pull out a knife and bring it to Mac's throat.
Webb was having déjà vu. He remembered a similar situation in Afghanistan. And if he remembered correctly, the marine in Mac didn't take to being held hostage very well.
"Hey Will just let her go," Harm said trying to reason with him. "You're not helping yourself by holding her." The fear Harm was feeling was evident in his eyes.
"Just shut up! Everything was fine until this cowboy over here showed up and started shooting."
Will was desperate. There was no way he was going to prison. He never pulled the trigger. Therefore he felt he had never really killed anyone. He'd done nothing wrong. There was no way they we're going to pin this on him.
If this wasn't such a serious situation Harm would have laughed at the reference to Clay as a cowboy.
"Critchon let her go," Webb said. "Haven't enough people been killed already?"
Mac decided that this talking was getting them nowhere. It was time to take matters into her own hands. With a swift elbow to the abdomen, she had Will doubled over and the knife away from her throat. She then followed with a strike to his groin and a kick that landed him flat on his six.
Harm just stood there stunned. Sure he knew Mac was a marine and that she knew how to handle herself, and he'd witnessed it a few times but this was different.
"Wow," was all he managed to say at the moment.
"Are you okay?" Mac asked checking to make sure he wasn't hurt.
"Yea I'm fine and I can see that you're doing good too," he said with his flyboy grin in place.
Mac just smiled back.
"Okay you two I hate to break up the touching moment but we have work to do," Webb said inwardly grinning. He was a spy after-all trained to notice every little detail. And he knew that the ring Mac was wearing certainly wasn't the one she was given for the investigation. Nor had he seen that sparkle in both their eyes before tonight.
'Maybe miracles are possible,' he chuckled to himself.
"Oh and Mac," Webb said getting her attention. "That makes two," he said smiling.
Harm just looked between the two of them confused.
Webb's men were taking care of cleanup as Webb led Harm and Mac into the hotel.
"Well I have to say you guys did a good job. But… I almost wasn't her in time to save your assess once again," Webb said rolling his eyes.
"What do you save our asses again?" Harm asked. "Usually ours asses need saving because you put them in jeopardy," Harm pointed out.
Webb didn't answer.
"That's what I thought," Harm said.
"Alright back to business. I will need to brief both of you and then your free until tomorrow where you are booked on a one o'clock flight back to D.C."
Harm and Mac spent the next several hours briefing Webb and what had transpired over the course of the week. Well almost everything.
"Okay that's pretty good." Webb said taking down his last bit of notes. "
"Now are sure there isn't anything else you would like to tell me," He said an innocent looking smile on his face.
Harm knew that smile; it was far from innocent.
"Why would you say that Clay?" Mac asked.
"No reason. Just thought you might have something else to tell me. You know something along the lines of, 'Admiral we're going to need some change of address forms, oh and did we forget to mention we're married!'"
Harm had a shocked look on his face.
'How the hell did Webb know? The only two people that know are my parents. Well there was the limo driver but I don't think he said anything.'
"Don't look so shocked Harm. I'm a spook remember? I'm supposed to know things like this. But don't worry I won't say anything to anyone. I'll leave that up to you."
"Thanks Clay," Mac said. She and Harm had wanted to be able to explain things especially to the Admiral.
"Alright well I'm done. See you guys back in D.C." and with that Webb and his spook posse was gone.
"So Mac I guess it's over."
"Yes it is," Mac said sighing.
"Hey I never got to tell you. Nice moves back there."
"Why thank you commander. Marrying me means you get the whole package. Take charge marine included. I mean I couldn't just wait around all night for the two of you to talk your way out of it," she said teasingly.
"Well this squid happens to be very impressed with the whole package."
"What do you say we head back upstairs? I mean we have nothing more to do down here and we don't have to leave until tomorrow morning. That does leave us with a whole night with nothing to do."
"I say that's a fantastic idea," Harm said smiling.
Harm and Mac headed upstairs enjoying the last night they had together before work and their lives in D.C. were revisited.
