Summary: A little trouble at the Naval Academy.
Spoilers: to be as unspecific as possible.everything from season 2 till now.
Last time on JAG:
"Speaking of Summers, do you think he could have broken up with his girlfriend in hopes of being with Myers?" "Well it's a possibility, I guess. What are you getting at Harm?" "I think we may be going at this from the wrong angle. You remember that case you prosecuted against Juanita Ressler." "Of course I do Harm, it was complete hell." "Well the defendant killed her husbands mistress, right?" "Yeah, I argued that she was prone to violence due to prior acts." "What if that's what we have going on here?"

"So what you're saying is that you think Summers' girlfriend, Midshipman Baines, killed Myers out of jealousy?" "I think it's a possibility." "Well it's the best idea we've come up with so far. Why don't we call it a night.that way I can have that bath you promised me.and then first thing in the morning we go and interview Baines." "I think that may be a good idea, but on the way out to Annapolis I think we should try to get in touch with Chase one more time.that way we aren't going in their totally blind." "Sounds good to me. Now about that bath?" "Hop to it Marine."
Harm started the bath for Mac and put in bath bubbles and lit some chamomile-scented candles. He played some light jazz in the bedroom and then went to the kitchen to get the Champaign flutes and sparkling grape juice.
Mac stripped down and slowly made her way into the bath. The water was hot.but not unbearable. In fact.it was a perfect temperature for relaxing. When she was comfortable under the layers of bubbles Harm walked into the bathroom. "Here you are gorgeous.a little of the bubbly." "Harm you are so sweet, thank you flyboy." "Now just relax." Harm began to continue the massage he started earlier.
Some time that night Harm and Mac finally made it to bed. Both were exhausted and they traded massages to loosen the tension filled day.

Harm finally got a hold of Midshipman Chase and they decided to meet at the same spot as yesterday. "Midshipman Chase, what was the relationship like between Midshipman's Myers and Baines?" "Well sir, to be honest, they got along most of the time, but there were times when they got into arguments and wouldn't talk to each other for a week. See it really bugged Myers that Baines always felt she needed to be right, about everything. She told me one night that she was just too frustrated to deal with her anymore. So Myers would keep her distance to avoid a confrontation." Mac jumped in with the next question, "Do you think that Baines sensed the attraction of Midshipman Summers to Midshipman Myers." "Yes ma'am. The day that Summers told Baines that he didn't want to see her again.well she kind of blamed it on Myers. See Baines has to kind of be the center of attention and well when Midshipman Summers told her that he didn't want to see her anymore it came as a shock. He told her that he was looking for someone more like Midshipman Myers." "Can you be positive about these allegations Midshipman Chase?" "Oh, yes sir, that's an affirmative. You can ask pretty much anyone on the hall. She was so pissed off.sorry for the lack of better words.about the whole situation. She ranted all day long." "Which day was this Midshipman?" Mac asked. "Well.actually ma'am it was the day of the murder. But Myers was so pent on studying for midterms that she paid no attention to Baines.not that it mattered anyway. She was happy with Lock. And Summers wasn't her type at all." "Well Midshipman you will come to find that in this line of work motive doesn't always make sense."
Harm and Mac both thanked Midshipman Chase again for the information she was able to provide. "Well sir, ma'am, she was one of my best friends. I know I had only just met her a couple of months ago but she was just one of those people. It truly is a shame."
Harm and Mac then made their way to the temporary dormitory escorted by two MP's. They found Midshipman Baines and read her her rights and then informed her of the charges. "Midshipman Baines, you are being taken into custody for the murder of Midshipman Crystal Myers. We will also be confiscating your saber for ballistics evidence. If you have any alibis that could corroborate your whereabouts the morning of 26 October at 0230 name them now so that they may be interrogated."

By the end of the afternoon Harm and Mac had gotten all they needed to charge Midshipman Baines with the murder of Midshipman Myers. As they walked into Mac's office she sat down at her desk and Harm found a comfortable spot on the edge of her desk, off to the left. "She spilled everything. You know I really can't understand some people's need for attention. It's one thing to be upset about your boyfriend breaking up with you, but it is totally different to kill the object of his affection." "Yeah really," Mac sighed. "What?" Harm questioned lightly. "I was just thinking.I mean considering our history with significant others and their apparent jealous fits it's a wonder further action was never taken." "Are you trying to say that you are surprised that neither of us had bodily harm inflicted on us because of suspicion of fraternization?" "Precisely counselor. I mean if I were Renee I would have been upset if I had seen you practically drool over me!" "Hey.I never drooled." Harm said without thinking. "Ah ha.see you thought about me though." "Of course I did Mac, Sarah. How could I not" as Harm said this he reached down and ran his thumb over the top of Mac's left hand. "Well why don't we finish this conversation up at my place. We can stop by the market on our way home and I'll make us something great for dinner. What do you say?" "Sounds good to me. But Harm, I can cook if you want." "We'll see." With this they left Mac's office and stopped by Harm's to get his cover and briefcase and headed to their respective cars.
A/N: I'm going to keep going with this one cause it's fun.I just wanted to let you know that at the Naval Academy (or any military academy) you aren't allowed to date while in your first year, but it made the story interesting because they were so new to the whole system. R and R, the good, the bad, and the ugly.I have so many ideas.if you want to find out more keep 'em coming!
