Admiral Chegwidden's office
24 hours later
Admiral,
I need a favour. I really need to talk to Mac. My phone privelleges Only allow me to write and send emails. She was upset when her Client died, she needs to reassure her everything will be okay sir. If there is anything you can do to help sir I would grateful.
Yours Commander Rabb.
"Tiner." The Admiral said over the intercom.
"Yes sir?"
"Get me the Captain of the Freedom and Liberty A.S.A.P."
"Yes sir."

"Colonel if you could wait a minute." The Admiral asked as he finished a meeting with Mac and Sturgis.
"Of course sir. Is there anything wrong?"
"No. Sit Colonel. Be patient for a few minutes."
Two minutes later the intercom buzzed. "Yes Tiner."
"Sir, I have Captain Tyrell on line one." Tiner informed him.
"Put him through." AJ picked up the phone. "Captain, this is Admiral Chegwidden. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. By allowing this you're helping with the swift running with JAG. Put him through . It's good to talk to you too. I was only able to swing thirty minutes. Yes she's here." He held out the phone to her. "Colonel there is someone who'd like to talk to you. I'll be outside."
"Hello?" Mac said cautiously.
"Hey Marine."
"Harm? How did . ? I thought you used your phone privileges for e-mail."
"I usually do, but you sounded like you needed to talk. So I asked the Admiral for a favour. If anyone asks we needed to discuss a case we were working on before I left. So how are you doing?"
"I'm doing better today. I'm fine. I miss you like crazy though."
"I miss you too. How is everyone else?"
"They're all goof. We've all got extra work since you aren't here. Little AJ broke his arm last night trying to play football. After he got over the initial shock he thinks it's hilarious. He wants to finger paint his cast."
"Sounds like fun, I haven't finger painted in years."
"I'm sure you'll get plenty of chances in the future. Your Mom and Frank are coming to visit next week."
"Really?"
"Yes. She wants to get to know me other than from what you've told her about me."
"Sounds like Mom. Don't be surprised if Grandma Sarah comes too. Don't worry they'll love you."
"Thanks. So are you being careful not doing any stupid stunts."
"Of course, I only save the acrobatics for when you're watching. How are you doing really still eating lots of lettuce?"
"No thank god. I've got better cravings. Pizza. I'm on first name terms with all the pizza delivery guys."
"I thought you were anyway."
"Hey I'm not that bad. Now the Chinese delivery guys are another matter."
"I know. How is Ling anyway?"
"He's fine. He says you owe him money. Some team lost."
"Give the guy fifty bucks, I'll pay you back later, and tell him I said he has to keep his promise."
"And what promise would that be flyboy? Before you think about it remember the embarrassing stories I can find out about you."
"Some things should remain a secret between a guy and the Chinese delivery guy."
"I'll let it slide this time since you're somewhere in the middle of the ocean. When do you think you'll be back?"
"I don't know. I still have a couple of weeks on the minimum after that I don't know. Let's not dwell on that. Let's talk about something else."
"You said you met someone who knows me."
"Commander James Lowell. He said you yelled at him found his team for stepping on a crime scene while they were on evacutaion and ejection tests."
"I think I remember them. I don't think they were expecting me to yell so much. But it will teach them to mess with the Marines."
"According to Jimmy the only reason they let you yell wasn't because you were a Marine or because you out ranked them but because they thought you were cute."

"Did you get all the information you required Colonel?" Admiral Chegwidden asked.
"Yes sir." Mac agreed playing along.
"Good." He headed back to his office.
"Admiral." Mac said stopping. "Thank you."
"Just get back to work Colonel and we'll call it even."
