This is the official second chapter. Sorry about the disclaimer being stuck in the middle.
Admiral's Permission
Harriet's first target was Admiral 'AJ' Chegwidden. She had a hunch that he would go along with her scheme simply because he was tired of their 'dance' also. "Tiner, may I speak with the Admiral?"
"Yes ma'am."
"Enter."
"Good morning, sir."
"Morning Lt. What can I do for you?"
"Sir, I was wondering if I could talk to you about a somewhat personal matter?"
"Yes, of course. Is anything wrong Harriet?"
"No sir. It's about the Commander and the Colonel, sir."
"What's going on now?"
"Well sir, nothing yet. I would like to get the two of them together, sir. With your permission of course."
"And why's that?"
"Well sir, it would put an end to all of the tension in the office and I think that they deserve to be happy."
"All right Harriet. What'd you have in mind?"
"Well sir, the Colonel told me that Chloe is coming in this weekend for the Fourth of July and she could be a big help since she also wants them together. I was going to throw a party this weekend at my house."
"That sounds like a good idea, Harriet. But how are you going to get them together?"
"I'm still working on that."
"Alright. I'll see what I can do so that they can both keep their jobs here. Just in case your plans are successful."
"Thank you sir."
Harriet then went to see Commander Rabb. She knew that he wouldn't miss out on spending any time with his godson so he would most likely be attending. "Hi Commander."
"Oh, hi Harriet. Can I do something for you?"
'Well sir, I'm going to be having a party this weekend for the Fourth of July and I was wondering if you would be able to come. Plus Little AJ would love to see you."
"Sure Harriet. What time should I be there?"
"1400 should be fine sir. I think we'll be going on a yacht later too."
"Wow, I'll be sure to be there Harriet. Do you need any help planning?"
"No sir."
Harriet then left Harm's office and went to see Mac. "Ma'am…"
"Oh, hi Harriet. Come on in. Do you need anything?"
"No ma'am. I have some information about this weekend. The party's going to start at 1400 and I think we might be going on a yacht later that night."
"Wow. Do you need any help with anything?"
"No ma'am."
"Alright. Chloe and I will be there."
"Thank you ma'am."
After Harriet talked to Mac, she had to get in contact with two more people that would be willing to help her get Operation Harm and Mac started.
