Summary: Just having a bit of fun. I can't really summarize this story.

Spoilers: None.

Disclaimer: I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth...No, they aren't mine. Yes, I borrowed them without asking. No, I wasn't planning on giving them back. Yes, I know they belong to D. Bellasario, Paramount, and CBS.

Author's Note: I'm always looking for a beta, cuz I can't catch my own mistakes. I FINALLY got the hang of ZULU! Yay! So now I'm using it whenever I can around the house, confusing everyone. Any applicants for beta readers, you know where to find me! This story really isn't a story as of yet, not exactly any plot to it. That may change though!

Lt. Colonel Mackenzie's Car, en route to her residence(AN:don't I sound all fancy?)

May 18th, 2003

1800 Hours

Lt. Colonel Sarah Mackenzie, or Mac as she was known to her friends, was on her way home from work when her cell phone started ringing. Grabbing it off the seat, she looked at the Caller ID before answering. She didn't like talking on the phone while driving, and if it wasn't someone whose call would be fairly important, she would let them talk to her voice mail and call them back when she got home. Seeing that it was Harm, she answered the phone and held it up to her ear.

"Hey Harm" she greeted him.

"Hey beautiful. How was your day?"

She smiled as she heard his voice. "Long, uneventful because a certain flyboy wasn't around. Yours?"

"What's that supposed to mean Mac? I am almost done here, finally. I should be home tonight. Are you on your way home?"

"Yeah, I am about 10 minutes away."

"Okay, well, I'll let you go. Bud and Manetti are coming over to work on the case later?" Harm asked her.

"Yeah, and I have that lady and her daughter for an hour tonight, which I am late for right now. The Admiral was on the warpath today, its a good thing you weren't here." Mac answered, stopping at a red light.

"I am going to ignore that last comment Mac. I think I'll be home by 2300, midnight at the latest.", he told her.

"I'll see you then. Please be careful Harm." She suddenly sounded worried.

"You know I will. I love you Sarah.", came his answer.

"I love you too." She hung up after that and concentrated on the rest of the drive home.

As she pulled the 'vette into the driveway, she noticed another car already parked there. Checking her internal clock, she saw that is was 1810. She was 10 minutes late for her meeting with the people, and Bud and Manetti were supposed to be there at 1830. She parked and grabbed her briefcase before getting out of the car. Mac saw the other people get out of their car as well and went over to greet them.
