WARNING: There are some things in here that may make some
people uncomfortable, so just bear with me. I really don't
think this is what is happening to our Navy, this is just for
the benefit for the character. Standard disclaimers apply,
and so sorry for the delay. Please read and review.

Well I arrived fifteen minutes early, just so I would have a few minutes to get settled. Sitting down, I made sure the bug I was wearing was in place, and tried to calm myself down. When I saw him coming towards me, I smiled, and waved him over, all the while wondering how in the hell I was going to pull this off.
"Hey Harm, thanks for coming. Man this case is really getting to me. I've just been so bogged down by the mountains of evidence, that I just don't think I can work it all in by the trial."
"Hey, what are friends for, let's see those folders," I said smiling.
So for the next few hours we went over the case, and I helped him sort out the evidence. I laughed to myself, knowing that Webb and Mac must be having a ball listening to us going over this case. I sighed, knowing it was time to get down to business.
"So tell me John, what do you do when you don't handle all of those tough cases?"
"Let me ask you something Harm, when you got discharged from the navy, were you angry? I mean did you feel like the navy let you down?"
Before I could answer though, he went on.
"I mean look what is going on, look at where we are. We are fighting people who don't even deserve it, people who-" but he stopped himself and took a deep breath.
"You know for awhile there, I just hated life period, but after awhile I knew it was a good thing. I mean the navy is just so screwed up fighting a war that shouldn't be fought."
"You see that is exactly how I feel!" he said excitedly. "You know Harm maybe you can help my brother and me. It's time that we show the Navy just how serious we are about this."
I chose my words carefully, but before I could open my mouth, Webb and his men ran in, and quickly took John in custody.
"Harm, what the hell is this man?" John yelled, over Webb who was reading him his rights.
But before I could answer, they were dragging him out. Mac smiled sweetly and sat down across from me.
"Mac, I thought-"
"John's brother gave us more then enough information to shut both of them down; we just wanted confirmation from your friend there, that he was actually involved."
"So it's over?"
"Yep," she said and picked up my water glass taking a small sip, so much for getting back in the game.

After Webb and Mac left, things were finally getting back to semi normal. I wasn't called to testify, but I guess that was a good thing. Mac was right when she said that they had more then enough evidence to put John and his brother away. Both of them are now serving very long jail terms. But I guess it was for the best.
I got back to Mom and Frank's around eight, and went right to bed. Mom had gone out for the evening, and Frank was in the study catching up on some paper work. That's when the first pain hit. A shooting pain ran through my back, a pain like I had never felt before.
When Frank heard my moans, he came running, but didn't know what to do for me. I convinced him I didn't need an ambulance, nor needed him to call mom. I was sure this would pass, but it didn't.
For three long hours I laid in bed, with an unbearable pain running through my back. And when Frank was about to call the ambulance, it stopped. I was still breathing hard, but I felt as if something was different. I sat up as best I could, and that's when I saw it.
