Chapter 5
At the designated time Harm drove up to Sheri's apartment complex. He was wearing white sport slacks and a mustard color casual shirt. He rang the bell, Sheri answered the door with a smile.
"Hi there." Sherri said. She was wearing dark blue slacks and a short sleeve cotton blouse.
"We have to drive to Falls Church." Harm added.
Now Sheri was really curious about what this handsome Naval officer had in mind. She knew that he was a lawyer.
They drove west on the Washington beltway until they came to the exit for Falls Church.
"I have to drop these papers off at the office. I hope you don't mind. It will give you a chance to meet everybody."
After being waved through the security gate, Harm parked the car. The Jag headquarters building was a quaint red brick building that reminded Sheri of a time long past.
"The office is on the second floor. We'll just be a minute" Harm assured Sheri.
The inside of the building was just as spotless as the outside. Sheri followed Harm up the elevator and through a set of large glass doors that was etched with the seal of the judge advocate general.
Inside people were engrossed in doing their jobs, answering the phone, or filing papers. The massive outer office was the central point of activity. Smaller individual offices lined the large reception area.
"Hi, Cmdr. Can I help you with something." said Lt. Roberts.
"Thanks Bud. I'm just here to drop off these papers that the general needs in the morning. Oh, Bud, this is Capt. James."
"Hello ma'am. Welcome to JAG. The Cmdr. will be right with you."
"Thank you, Lt. I'll just wait here."
Bud Roberts continued with his duties. Col. Sarah McKenzie entered the main reception area on her way to what appeared to be her office. As she passed Sheri, she appeared to give Sheri the once over. This made Sheri feel apprehensive.
"Well, that's all tied up for the evening. Let's say we go out for dinner." Harm asked Sherri.
"Sounds good to me, Harm." Sheri forgot all about the Col.'s gawk. All she could see or think about was the handsome naval officer next to her.
