FAMILY REVENGE
==========================================================================================================================
NORFOLK
Mac walked into the CO's office in full marine mode.
"Who are you?" Mac demanded of Amanda.
"Amanda Adams, and I don't have to say anymore. I want a lawyer." Amanda replied.
"You're not under arrest." Mac snapped. "Why were you trying to kill Commander Rabb?"
"Because he didn't die last night," Amanda simply replied.
"Why did you try to kill him last night? Why are you attacking the ensigns?" Mac asked.
"Those privileged ones." Amanda seethed. "They don't deserve to be here."
"What are you talking about?" Mac asked.
"Colonel, can I speak with you for a moment." Gunny asked.
Mac and Gunny left the room.
"What's up?" Mac asked.
"Ma'am, I checked the record for Amanda Adams, she doesn't exist." Gunny said.
"What do you mean? The navy does proper background checks." Mac said.
"Her social security number is linked to Amanda Williams." Gunny said.
"So she's changed her name, now we have to find out why." Mac said walking back into the room. "Ms. Williams, any reason why you changed your name?"
"It's not a crime to change your name." Amanda answered.
"Either way, you've murdered one man, attempted murder on four others; two of whom are in comas." Mac informed her.
"And if you hadn't been here, I would have taken care of the rest of those from the class of 2002." Amanda snapped.
"Why are you targeting the class of 2002?" Mac asked.
"They are a mean group." Amanda said and began to weep. "All Academy men are. They don't care about anyone but themselves. They don't have to work, they are handed their careers. Not like you, you worked your way up."
"We all work our way up." Mac stated. "Why are you targeting these men?"
"You can't understand." Amanda replied.
"Gunny, follow me." Mac said walking to him. "Call Annapolis, find out if there was anyone who entered in 1998 with the last name Williams."
"Yes, Ma'am," Gunny said and went to get the information.
Mac called the local police and advised them of the current situation. While she waited for them to get to the base, Gunny returned.
"Colonel, there were 28 midshipmen who entered the academy in 1998 with the name Williams." Gunny announced and handed her the list.
"Some were enlisted men who had been recommended." Mac said as she looked over the list. "Look at this. Adam Williams."
"He never graduated, Ma'am." Gunny said.
"He's deceased." Mac replied and went back to Amanda. "Who is Adam Williams?"
"My brother," Amanda replied.
"What happened to him?" Mac asked.
"All he ever wanted to do was be in the Navy." Amanda said.
"He made it to Annapolis, what happened?" Mac asked.
"They laughed at him." Amanda said. "They didn't accept him."
"Amanda, what happened to your brother?" Mac asked.
"He killed himself." Amanda shouted. "He would have been part of the class of 2002. If he didn't live, why should they?"
Mac just looked at Amanda, she was crazy. The police arrived and took Amanda into custody. Mac and Gunny just stood there.
BASE HOSPITAL
"How are you feeling?" Mac asked.
"Better now that you're here." Harm replied. "What happened?"
"Amanda's brother was accepted to Annapolis in 1998. He would have graduated in 2002. He committed suicide his first year. No one knew Amanda was his sister because she used a different name." Mac stated.
"So, she was trying to kill those who she felt were responsible." Harm said.
"It's sad." Mac said,
"Hey, any idea when I can go home?" Harm asked.
"I think they might want you to stay and get some rest." Mac said.
"I can get rest at home." Harm replied.
"That's up to the doctors." Mac answered.
"What's up to the doctors? Ashlyn asked walking in.
"When I can go home," Harm replied.
"I think by the end of next week." Ashlyn said.
"So soon?" Mac asked.
"I think so, but Commander you need someone with you." Ashlyn said forgetting his memory problem.
"I've got that covered." Harm smiled and looked at Mac.
"Oh right," Ashlyn said. "Silly me."
"Yeah, silly you," Mac said under her breath.
"Well, I wanted to stop by and check on you before I left." Ashlyn said. "I need to get home."
"Thank you for everything," Harm said.
"I'm glad I could help." Ashlyn smiled. "Gunny has my number; when you get home don't hesitate to call if you need anything."
"Thanks, Doctor." Harm said.
"Mac, walk me out." Ashlyn said.
"How long is this going to last?" Mac asked.
"I don't know, I've never seen anything like it." Ashlyn replied. "Maybe once you get him home, he will snap out of it."
"Whose home? Do I take him back to my place?" Mac asked.
"If you do, I suggest you have some of his things there before he gets to your place." Ashlyn stated.
"This is unbelievable." Mac sighed.
THE NEXT MORNING -HARM'S ROOM
"Good morning." Harm said with a smile.
"How are you feeling?" Mac asked.
"Ready to leave," Harm replied.
"Harm, you need some rest." Mac stated.
"I can get rest a home." Harm whined.
"No, you need doctors and nurses around you." Mac advised.
"I need to be in the comfort of my own home." Harm stated.
"I think we should let the doctors make that decision." Mac said.
"How are you feeling?" Perkins asked.
"Better, when can I leave?" Harm replied.
"You need to be monitored for a while." Perkins replied.
"I want a second opinion." Harm smiled. "Where's Dr. Spaulding?"
"She's gone back to DC." Mac answered.
"What about Gunny?" Harm asked.
"We're leaving this afternoon." Mac said.
"You're both leaving?" Harm asked.
"We need to get back." Mac advised.
"Who's going to stay with me?" Harm asked.
"Harm, the doctors and nurses are here for you." Mac said.
"It's not the same." Harm whined.
"Harm, I need to get back." Mac said.
"Who will take care of me?" Harm asked.
"That's what we're here for." Perkins interjected.
"It's not the same." Harm replied.
"You'll be home soon." Mac said with a smile.
"Not soon enough." Harm replied.
Mac said her goodbyes and left for Washington. Gunny had left an hour earlier in his car. Mac wasn't due back at JAG for another day but she needed to get back to pick up some of Harm's things and bring them to her place.
TWO HOURS LATER
"Lt. Sims." Harriet said answering the phone.
"Harriet, it's Mac. I need your help." Mac said.
"Hello, Colonel. How is the Commander feeling?" Harriet asked.
"He's doing fine." Mac replied. "Listen Harriet, we have a small problem. Harm thinks he and I are married."
"He what?" Harriet said trying not to laugh.
"You heard me." Mac groaned. "The doctors think he will eventually remember the truth, but for now I am to go along with it."
"What do you need, Ma'am." Harriet asked.
"In my top right desk drawer is a key to Harm's place, can you meet me at his place?" Mac asked.
"The Commander is moving in with you?" Harriet asked.
"Temporarily," Mac said. "Will you do it?"
"Of course, how far are you from the Commander's?" Harriet asked.
"About an hour," Mac replied.
"I'll meet you there." Harriet said. "Oh Colonel."
"Yes, Harriet," Mac said.
"Congratulations." Harriet replied with a giggle.
Mac met Harriet at Harm's apartment and they took some of his things over to Mac's. She was not thrilled with any of this; this was not part of her plan. She wasn't sure how she was going to handle any of this.
