Author's Note: If you would like part 1, email me for it. And I'd like to
thank all the people that sent encouraging words when the will to write
left me. I've never seen myself as a good writer and after my laptop died
and I was working so much, I didn't think I'd ever get back to writing.
But YAY I have a new laptop now and I'm back at school so my schedule isn't
quite as bad. I'd also like to thank those who sent ideas, a lot of them
were about who the attacker should be but that's the first thing that I
planned out (. And I'd also like to say that I haven't read any of the Mac
rape stories that have came about since I started my story. I saw the
summary and deleted it. I didn't want them to effect my story, so if there
are any overlaps, I am very sorry. Anyway, I've revised each section,
changing and fixing different things. So enough said considering this note
is now almost as long as the story itself, lol.

PART 2:
Mac's Apartment 1230 Tuesday May 5, 2003
"Mac! Come on. Open up! I know you're in there, your car is out front."
Mac tensed immediately at the sound of her partner's voice. //What now? Was he coming back for seconds?// She slowly opened her eyes to find that her bindings had been taken off. She lifted the covers to find all that she was wearing was a Navy t-shit. //God! He wanted to leave his mark?// Moving slowly because of the immense pain, she got out her firearm and got off the bed.
Harm sighed when she didn't answer, he dug out his key and let himself in. "Mac?" He called out gently, his voice full of concern. He looked around, everything looked in order. Her uniform jacket wasn't hung up though. He heard movement in her bedroom and walked back there. He knocked lightly on the door, which was open a crack. "Mac? Hey are you okay? It really isn't like you to miss work. Mac? The Admiral was worried when you didn't call in and asked that I come and check on you. Why haven't you been answering either of your phones? Mac? Are you awake?" He pushed the door open and walked in slowly. He heard something crack under his foot. When he lifted his foot back up to find a button from her uniform top. "What the.?" He looked around the room and saw her clothing cut apart and tossed aside. //She'd never let someone do this to her clothes, especially not her uniform.// He jumped at the sound of her voice.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Mac tried to sound stern, but her voice cracked. She pointed the gun at him. "How could you?! I thought that I meant something to you! I thought that you cared! And now you're going to act like nothing happened? Why?! Why would you do that to me?! You BASTARD! God! If you wanted me that damn badly, you didn't have to RAPE me!! I would've slept with you willingly. I can't.I don't understand, Harm. I don't understand at all. What did I do to deserve that? If this is about the damn case, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to make you that angry. I was just doing my job. You don't have a case. And even if I was being unfair, why did I deserve that? Explain it to me. Make me understand. Please. I have to know." She pleased as a defeated sob escaped her.
He turned towards the sound of her voice. "I didn't have to WHAT?!" Harm stared at her. "Power down, Marine. What the hell are you talking about? What happened to your face? And where did you get my shirt? Mac, what.?" He stepped towards her. "Come on. Just put the gun down and we can talk about this. I really don't know what you're talking about. I didn't do anything to you. I never would. What happened? Talk to me, Sarah. I can help you if you let me. Just slow down and tell me what happened." He stepped towards her again.
"Don't you DARE come near me! I'll kill you, you son-of-a-bitch! Stay back!" Tears filled her eyes. "Why Harm? I LOVE you. How could you do that to me? How? Why? I don't get it. I really don't. Where you drunk? On drugs? Did something happen after you went home? Don't lie to me. Just tell me. Tell me why you did it, Harm. Please. I have to understand." She held the gun steady on him.
Harm was taken back, not only by her accusation, but her statement of love as well. He took a deep breath. "Mac.Sarah, listen to me, please. I don't know what you're talking about. I really don't. I'd never do that to you. God, I'd cut my hands off before I'd ever hurt you. You know that. I care about you too much to ever do that to you. Come on, put the gun down. Please. We can talk about this. Just put the gun down"
"Why? So you can tie me up again? I don't think so. And stop lying to me! Just tell me the truth. It's a little late to protect me now."
"Tie you up? I didn't.I wouldn't." Harm was beyond confused. "Sarah.when did this happen?"
"Fine. You wanna play dumb? I'll play your game. Last night. You did this last night. I came home after working late and I came back to my bedroom. You picked me up and.you threw me down on the bed. It knocked the wind out of me and then you tied me up. You ripped my shirt off and then cut the rest of my clothes of and then you raped me. And stop calling me Sarah!"
"Oh my God.Sarah." He took another step towards her.
"I already warned you and I said stop calling me that!" She hissed and angrily wiped tears from her cheeks.
"Okay, Mac, I wouldn't and couldn't have done this to you. If you don't believe that, then I have proof that I wasn't anywhere near your apartment last night. Josh came to town for visit. He's on spring break or something like that. He asked if I'd take him flying, so we took out Sarah to a field and had a little camp out for the night. We left as soon as I got off work. That's why I left early. You weren't in your office so I didn't come by to tell you. We didn't get back until 0700 this morning. I dropped him off at my apartment and took a quick shower, changed and went straight to work. I thought that it was odd that you weren't there. The Admiral called me in at 1130 and asked if I knew why you weren't at work. I told him that I didn't so he told me to come check on you since you didn't answer your home phone or your cell phone. I wasn't here and I didn't do this. I could never do this to anyone, but especially not to you. I do care about you, Sarah. I really do. I could never hurt you. Never."
"But.no..." Mac was so confused. "I saw you. I looked into your eyes. I saw so much hatred there. It scared me. And you wouldn't talk to me. You wouldn't answer me. You just."
"Oh Mac.I couldn't look at you with hatred in my eyes if I tried." He said gently. "I know that you believe that. You know me, Sa.Mac and you know that I'd never lay an abusive hand on you. It would kill me."
She loosened her grip on the gun and tossed it onto the bed. She saw the truth in his eyes. Those eyes that were always the window to his soul. She knew he was telling the truth, but that only made her more confused. She nodded slightly. "I..I believe you, but someone was here last night, Harm. Someone did this to me. And if it wasn't you, then who did?"
