(A/N: Thanks for all the reviews for this story. What do you
guys think, should I do another brain teaser? I liked all the
guesses, as strange as some of them were. I hope that you
enjoyed this story, and I encourage everyone to keep reading.
All of the stories on Fan Fiction are great. Standard
disclaimers: Same as in last chapter.)
Fade in
(Taken from Harm's POV)
Thirty minutes after my mother and Stepfather left, and the crowd of co-workers had finally left I sat back in my chair, and let out a long sigh. This had been a long week for me, and it still wasn't over. I knew I still had to talk to Mac, and the Admiral. The SECNAV had left awhile ago, and I knew it would be any minute till the Admiral would summon me.
To say the Admiral was surprised to see that I was alive was a major understatement. His jaw just about broke when it hit the floor. Sure, I understood why the Admiral had shoot me but he could have said whatever he needed to say to me in his office, instead of scheduling a private meeting. I knew that meant trouble. I probably was going to get yelled for not telling anyone that simple little fact that I was alive.
Just then a knock at my door broke me from my reverie. I sighed, and called out for the person to enter. Tiner poked his head in my door.
"Sir, the Admiral would like to see you."
"Thanks Tiner."
When I heard to door click, I stood up, and sighed. Here goes nothing.
(In the Admiral's office)
"Sit down Rabb."
"Yes sir."
There was a long silence before the Admiral finally spoke. I knew enough not to speak yet.
"I didn't know what to do, Harm. I didn't want to put my daughter's life in danger, and you, hell I don't know. You're like a son to me Rabb, but-"
"I understand perfectly sir. You don't have to explain it to me."
"Why didn't you contact me, and let me know you were alive? Did you have any idea what these people were going through?"
"I know sir, and I am truly sorry. By the time I was going to call you, we found out about Hicks, and were ready to get him. There was no time to call anyone sir."
"It must have hurt like hell though."
"Excuse me sir?"
"When I shot you; you might have been wearing a vest, but I know it still hurts."
"A few bruised ribs sir, nothing that bad."
"What about your neck?"
"The bullet just grazed it, sir. A few stitches, was all."
The Admiral pulled a pile of papers out of his desk, and handed them to me.
"What is this sir?"
"It takes a lot of paperwork to bring back a dead man. I want it on my desk by the end of the day, and then take the rest of the week off."
Harm snapped to attention, "aye, aye, sir." When Harm had reached the door, AJ called him back."
"It's good to have you back Harm."
"Thank you sir."
On his way to his office, Harm bumped into Mac.
"Are you okay Harm?"
"Yeah, I just have all this paperwork to keep me occupied for the rest of the month."
"Can I talk to you for a minute?"
"Sure. Give me five minutes, and we can go get something to eat, okay?"
"Sure."
"Okay Mackenzie, it's only four more minutes and fifty four seconds more, then you can tell him," she told herself while heading for her office.
