Porter Webb's Plane

ETA 20 minutes from Barksdale AFB

Mac really wanted to scream. She hated the amount of time it was taking to get to where Liz was. She was grateful for the use of Porter Webb's plane, but dammit right about now she'd take a Tomcat. Her sister was in immediate danger and all she could do was sit there. She leaned her head against the window and closed her eyes. At least there was one thing she could do. She could not remember, well she didn't want to remember ever being this tired. With out knowing how long it would take to reach Liz once they landed, she decided to at least use the opportunity to sleep. "Better to be prepared than asleep" She thought as she settled into her seat. No matter how comfortable she got, however, she was not ready for the images that flooded her dreams.

* A clearing surrounded by clusters of trees. A young woman perched high in one, barely covered by the leaves. A man is down on the forest floor, yelling for the girl. Two new figures enter the clearing, causing the man to turn. The young woman in the tree jumps out of the tree and lands on the man. There is blood. *

Mac sits up abruptly in her seat as the last of the vision passed. This didn't go unnoticed by Harm or Webb. "Mac?" Harm asked, trying to hid the concern in his voice, even though it was evident on his face. He was still worried about how she was dealing with all that was happening. Even though there hadn't really been time to talk about it. "I, I had a vision." She stated plainly, running a hand through her hair. Webb had never heard of her visions, so he was intrigued. "You had a dream Mac or."But a sharp glance from Harm kept him from finishing his sentence.

Harm immediately took a seat next to Mac and placed a comforting arm across her shoulders. "What did you see?" He asked, genuinely surprising Mac. The first time she'd had a vision, he'd been skeptical, but then again so had she. "There were trees and a clearing, I think she, Liz, was in one. Palmer was below, yelling at her. Then we entered a clearing and she jumped out of the tree at him. Then there was blood and that's when I woke up." She told him. She eyed him cautiously, looking for signs of disbelief.

Harm looked at her and tried to come up with a reply, hoping his face showed that he believed her. The cabin was quiet as Webb was motioned forward to the cockpit. As he went up, Harm flashed a smile at Mac and she knew that Harm believed her. She smiled back. "The pilot just got word that we're landing in a few minutes. Barksdale was nice enough to allow us use of their base until this gets resolved. While this isn't a military aircraft, it is a military op, so they were nice. It's too dark to start the search now." Webb began, noting the sharp glances from both Mac and Harm. "It is, I'm sorry. So at first light, we'll head out. " Mac just nodded, the uneasiness of the vision still resonating within her. The sooner they landed, no matter what the circumstance, the sooner she could find her sister and prevent the vision from coming true.

Red Chute Bayou Late Night

"Yes sir. I'm sure he can't see me. I'm ok. Just scared out of my mind and amazed that it worked." Liz whispered to AJ (he'd insisted she call him that, so she'd complied). He had assured her that Lt. Sims was trying to get a hold of her sister so that they could trace the call and locate her more quickly. "There's no way you can tell how far from the road you are?" AJ asked again. He wanted to try to do as much for the rescue team and for her as he could from there. Hell she'd impressed him so much in the first few minutes that he wished he were there himself. "I don't even know which direction I ran, much less where the road is." Liz told him, getting more anxious by the moment. Everything was going too perfectly in her head. Something had to give.

* Creak *

Liz heard the unmistakable bending of the tree and knew she was in trouble. "AJ.Admiral?" She whispered, the fear evident in her voice. AJ immediately feared the worst. "Liz? What's happening? Did he spot you?" AJ's heart jumped. He hoped that Bud got a hold of Rabb soon. "No. The branch I'm on is giving way. If it breaks.I can't run anymore.I.I" Liz was getting flustered and starting to have another panic attack. She couldn't hold onto the phone and the tree and grab her inhaler without falling. But she'd fall anyway if she didn't move. "Ok. Listen. Take a deep breath." He heard her try and urged her on. "Take another. Now, hang up, reposition yourself and then call me back. Lt. Roberts just got a hold of Commander Rabb, your sister's partner. They just landed. Hang in there a bit longer and they cavalry will be there shortly, alright?" He told her, hoping she heard him. Despite the breathing, he'd forced her to do, he could tell she was beginning to panic.

Liz took a deep breath and promised AJ she'd call him back. Closing the phone she stuffed it back in her pocket and looked at her options.

* Creeeaaak! *

They were beginning to run thin as the branch was bending farther and making more noise. If she didn't get off soon, Palmer would wake up because of the noise or her screaming, whichever came first. If it came to that, there would be no need for the calvary.

Barksdale AFB Bossier Parrish, LA Early Morning

Harm hung up his phone and ran back to the group. "I just got off the phone with the Admiral. Bud should be faxing us the coordinates of the last location of Liz's call. Bud said that the tech guy had a hard time with tracking it because the call was located in a random calling area. But he then pointed out to the tech guy that not many people call the JAG from the middle of the Bayou."

Webb swiped the piece of paper from the Corpsman running to him and placed the map of the hood of the SUV. They'd all massed at the airfield with the one Huey that was going to take them to Liz. It was all the Base commander could spare because of other pressing matter. "Ok.we're here," he said, pointing the base on the map. "Her last call came from 10 miles off State Highway 71. It's a quick 10 minute Huey insertion or a 30 minute car ride, your call Colonel." Webb advised. Mac mulled it over in her head. If they did the Huey insertion, then Palmer would know they were there and that she didn't come alone, like he had wanted. But at the same time, with Liz on the run and hopefully still in hiding, his rules were no longer in play.

"Huey insertion 5 miles from her last call. That should be far enough away for Palmer not to hear the rotors and close enough for us to locate her with the next call." Mac said as she circled the area. It was the only chance they'd get, Mac knew, and it had to count. "Alright people. Let's get in there and quickly." Webb yelled as they headed towards the chopper. A medical team was on standby if any unforeseen injuries took place. Harm took a moment to pull Mac back before they got into the chopper. "You going to be alright?" He yelled over the helicopter as it powered up. "As soon as she's in that helicopter and on her way back here I will be." She yelled. Nodding, Harm squeezed her hand and followed her to the chopper. Heaven help Palmer, cause the Marines were coming.
