Conversations Chapter 2
Thanks for all the reviews. Before I get to this chapter I'm going to
answer some reviewers questions: Chapter one was meant to sound like the
scene between Mac and Sturgis in Capital Crime, only with the right guy
listening. I am not in the military yet, cause I'm too young, and some
services DO have "At Ease" but as far as I know, the US Navy is not one of
them.
Disclaimer: If I owned any of this, nobody would write H/M fics cause
they'd be married by now.

Harm and Mac walk into the bullpen together, smiles on their faces, deep in conversation. They walk into Harm's office and shut the door.
Harm: (sitting down at his desk) So, do you want to talk to the Admiral now or later?
Mac: Now would be best, before anything happens to make him angry beforehand.
Harm: Agreed. (Presses intercom) Tiner is the Admiral available?
Tiner: (over intercom) Aye, Sir. He wants to speak to you and the Colonel ASAP.
Harm: (getting up and going for the door) We're on our way, Tiner. (shuts intercom off) Well, shall we?
Mac: (exiting Harm's office) We had better.
Tiner: (looking up as they approach) Go right in Ma'am, Sir.
Harm: Thank you Tiner.
They enter the Admirals office and snap to attention.
Harm: Reporting as ordered, Sir.
Chegwidden: At ease, both of you. I have a new case for you. You heard of the accident aboard the USS Cole, correct?
Harm: They were attacked by pirates or something weren't they?
Chegwidden: Yes, but the pirates had help. We now have their man on the Cole in custody. Lt. Cmdr Manetti and Major Lownds will defend, you two will prosecute.
Both: Aye, Sir!
Chegwidden: Now, is there something you wanted to talk to me about?
Mac: Yes, Sir.
Chegwidden: Well OUT WITH IT.
Harm: I guess you could say I've gotten my head out of my six, Sir.
Chegwidden: Concerning??
Harm: My feelings for Colonel Mackenzie, Sir.
Mac: We've discussed the situation, Sir. We're hoping neither of us has to transfer, but if you do transfer one of us, we'll understand.
Chegwidden: I see. Well, I have news in that regard. Since the new SECNAV knows that I can't lose either of you he's given me permission to keep both of you here as long as you never oppose each other in court.
Harm: We'll try not to make you regret this, Sir.
Mac: Thank you, Sir.
Chegwidden: However, I DO have some orders for you in that regard. Keep yourselves professional in the office, and DO NOT screw this up, as I will be forced to send you both to a psych evals if you do. Now get out there and announce the good news. DISMISSED.
Both: AYE SIR!
Harm: (as they reenter the bullpen) Who knew he thought of us that way?
Mac: Everybody except us, probably.
Harm: Probably. (to the bullpen) ATTENTION PLEASE! (Harm and Mac stand there as the entire bullpen comes to a stop.)
Mac: Harm and I have an announcement. But first, Harriet!!
Harriet: Yes, ma'am?
Mac: Whose day is it in the office pool?
Harriet: Ma'am?
Harm: (whispering to Mac) Maybe we should just find out the easy way.
Mac: (whispering back) The easy. (The rest of her sentence is cut off as Harm kisses her, hard.)
Harriet: Oh THAT office pool. Ummmmmmm. (reaches into her desk and brings out a notebook) .We have Commander Turner down for how you'd announce it, and PO Tiner for the date you'd make the announcement.
Mac: (breathlessly) You could have warned me flyboy.
Harm: (just as breathlessly) Are you complaining?
Mac: Hell no. (she pulls him down for another kiss)
As they kiss again, Admiral Chegwidden walks out of his office.
Tiner: (jumping to attention) ATTENTION ON DECK!
Chegwidden: As you were! Lt. Simms, has the office pool been dealt with yet?
Harriet: No, Sir. The recipients have been notified, but no cash has been awarded, Sir.
Chegwidden: And how much goes to each recipient?
Harriet: $2000 each, Sir.
Chegwidden: Better get it to them, Lt.
Harriet: Aye, Sir!
Chegwidden: Oh, Commander, Colonel, I thought I told you to avoid PDA in the office. Oh well, since neither of you will get much work done anyway, GET A ROOM, and try to get some work done on your case.
Harm: May we borrow the Conference Room, Sir?
Chegwidden: By all means, Commander.
Harm: Thank you, Sir.
Chegwidden: Now the rest of you, get back to work. (He reenters his office)
Harm: (Note to self: Mac's kisses are like fireworks, avoid setting them off in the office.)
Mac: (Note to self: Harm's kisses can make you fly away, avoid purchasing THAT particular airline ticket in the office.)
Both: (Or at least where other people can see us.)
Harm: Hey Mac, Conference Room in 5?
Mac: I'll bring the case notes, you bring all the door keys.
Harm: And the coffee and snacks, I get the point. TINER!! Did you make the coffee this morning?
Tiner: No Sir, Lt. Simms did.
Harm: Ok. Don't worry Mac, I'll make some the way you like it.
Mac: And that is?
Harm: Strong enough to cause cardiac arrest in a normal human.
Mac: Hey, you're learning.
Harm: Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?
Mac: Ok ok, Conference Room, 5 minutes.
Harm: See ya then.
Do I REALLY need to say what happened in the conference room? Ok, if you want to read that, then say so in the reviews, or don't say it. R/R please!!
