"Colonel, the Admiral would like to see you in his office." Tiner said after he knocked on Mac's office door.
"I'll be right there Tiner." Mac said.
"Yes ma'am."

"You wanted to see me sir?" Mac said as she walked into the Admiral's office.
"Yes. Take a seat Colonel."
"Yes sir." Mac said sitting down.
"I need you to pack a bag."
"Sir?" Mac questioned.
"I need you to go somewhere without questioning why. You don't need to take your uniform, but be ready by 1400. You'll be gone all weekend."
"Where am I going sir?" Mac asked.
"That's on a need to know basis. Commander Rabb will pick you up at 1400 at your apartment."
"Commander Rabb knows where we're going?" Mac questioned.
"Yes. He'll fill you in on the details on the way."
"Sir, are you sure I need to go I have some work I was going to do over the weekend?"
"I need you to go. Take the drive to sort things out and I want you talking by the time you get back on Tuesday. Dismissed."
"Yes sir." Mac stood and saluted before leaving.

"Harriet, can I see you in my office for a minute?" Mac asked as she walked past her in the bullpen.
"Of course ma'am." Harriet followed her into the office and closed the door.
"Harriet, is there any scuttlebutt about why I'm going to somewhere mysterious for the weekend with Harm?"
"No ma'am. Only that you're leaving for the weekend and that you won't be back until Tuesday. I only know that because Cmdr Rabb asked me to take messages for him."
"I see. Did someone tell Harm why I was angry with him."
"Not that I know of ma'am. Cmdr Turner ordered Bud and I not too."
"Okay thanks Harriet. Can you keep an eye on my messages too, if anything comes in urgent you can reach me on my cell phone."
"Yes ma'am. Have a nice weekend."
"You too."

"Sturgis, do you have a minute?" Mac said leaning against the doorframe.
"Sure. I'll have an answer on your offer on the Dawson case by Tuesday for you."
"So you know I'm going somewhere for the weekend them?" She asked sitting down in the chair opposite him.
"I heard the scuttlebutt plus Harm told me that you were going somewhere for the weekend. Are you talking to him again?" He asked intrigued.
"No, the Admiral ordered me to go. Not that I know where I'm going which presents a packing challenge."
"I'm sure that Marine ingenuity will come into play." Sturgis said leaning back in his chair.
"Have you seen Harm this morning?"
"He came and saw me while you were in with the Admiral. Then he left saying he had some things to organise."
"Typical squid runs out when the going gets tough."
"Hey, not all the Navy is that bad."
"Just arrogant Naval aviators. I'd better go and figure out what to pack." Mac said with a sigh.
"Have a nice weekend and maybe you should forgive him. You can always forget his next birthday to make up for it."
"Yeah maybe. You have a nice weekend too."
"Colonel, the Admiral would like to see you in his office." Tiner said after he knocked on Mac's office door.
"I'll be right there Tiner." Mac said.
