I think I just need to assure readers that the marines at the Harrisburg marine base are still looking for Harm and Mac. You see Harm and Mac were chase into a really dense forest area, and it kinda makes them hard to find. (For more information about Liberia, so as to better understand the story, check out this web page: .) With the locals still chasing them, Harm and Mac can take no chance and must stay hidden. Also I'm gonna point out that in my story it's monsoon season. (Which means lots and lots of rain.) So that makes find our dramatic duo a bit hard. And don't worry I will get back to the hunt soon.


And hey, thanks to JAGsister for giving me the idea for the boys. Thanks!


And having Palmer kidnaping the twins would be just to cliche'.


On to the story...



~~~~~~~~

Webb lead the Admiral and me back to the command center and played the tape. There we saw both boys walk out of the museum hand in hand. It didn't look like anyone was forcing them out, but the fact that someone was walking so close behind them was a bit to disturbing.


"I have officers scouring the neighborhoods in a one thousand mile radios," Officer Garret said handing us both a cup of coffee.


"So what can we do," I asked. I couldn't stand there and do nothing.


"Go home. If someone deliberately took those boys, then they'll probably be calling for a ransom."


"It's taken care of. If have some of my officers at the Rabb house right now," AJ assured the officer.


"Good, I'll send some of my boys over there-"


"Sir!" another officer said running over to us. "Sir I think you should come outside and see this," the officer exclaimed leading us outside.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



The first thing I was aware of when I came to, was loud angry shouting, that seemed to be getting closer and closer.


"Mac," I whispered hoping she was awake.


"Yeah, I hear them too, we have to get out of here."


We get to are feet and don't get far before it starts pouring again. Damn it why now? We start running anyways, having no other option. Even though we can't understand the voices we know those guys are angry, and they are hell bent on finding us.


We come to a steep incline and hesitate before we attempt to go down it. It's mud all the way down, and the chances off getting hurt were pretty good.


"What other choice do we have?" she asks and starts to slowly down the hill. I soon follow and it seems like we're going to make it down in once piece before she falls and starts to slide. I try and grab her hand but I lost my balance and fell to. I couldn't even breath when I saw mac fall down that hill. Some how I just knew that she wasn't okay.

I tried to stand up, but sat down again. There was an unbelievable pain in my wrist. I sat down caked in mud and looked frantically around for Mac. My heart stopped when I saw her laying on her side facing away from me. She didn't seem to be moving at all.

(AJ's POV)


As soon as we followed the officer outside, I had to stop and give a sigh of relief at what I saw. Shawn and bobby were sitting on top of the police cruiser talking with some of the officers. One of the officers noticed us and walked over to give us the bullet.


"It seems that the twins, getting bored of their Uncle Jason's stories of planes, they wandered off and looked outside and saw the ice-cream truck. In running to catch the truck. Shawn dropped his hat," the officer said pointing to the cap in Sturgis's hand. "And then they found themselves lost. They walked around the streets for awhile where one of our officers picked them up."


Thank god they were okay. While walking over to the boys, I couldn't help but laugh at the twins getting bored with Tiner's stories.


"Hi Uncle AJ!" Bobby said and threw himself at me.


"Hi Uncle Sturgis," Shawn said at the same time and held out his arms to him.


"So where did you boys get money for the ice-cream truck?" I asked wiping off Bobby's face, while Sturgis did the same.


"We saved the money," Bobby said trying to wiggle out of my arms.


"Yeah we saved it," Shawn said.


We both sat the boys back down and explained to them about running off, and they both promised that they would never do it again. I called Bud and Harriet from the road, and about twenty minutes away from the Robert's home, I looked in the back seat, and the boys were fast asleep.

Meanwhile...in the wilds of Liberia...


I rose to my feet again, still swaying a bit, but I finally made my way over to Sarah.


"Sarah," I said, my voice all choked up.


But there was no response.


I moved her carefully onto her back and assessed her injuries. She had multiple cuts on her face and arms, and most likely a broken leg. My hands trembled as I ran my hands over her stomach. My god, what if anything happened to the baby?


I could hear the tribes men get closer to the top of the hill where we fell, and I knew if they did, then they would see us. So as carefully as I could I gathered Mac into my arms, minding her injuries and my wrist and headed for cover.


I am lucky to be able to find a cluster of tress that will shelter us from the rain and hide us from the men. I hold her tightly in my arms praying for our safety.


My heart jumps when I hear her moan, but she doesn't open her eyes. Just as well I thought, until I figured out away to get us out of this nightmare, she might as well rest.


We have been missing for over two months now, and I know it's hard to believe we haven't been found yet, but it has been raining almost nonstop since we got into this mess, and I suppose being in this very dense forest hasn't helped the search any. Mac and I often heard the helo's flying overhead, but we knew it would be impossible for them to see us. I just hoped the ground troops would find us, and fast.



Now I can only sit back and wonder what our boys are up to. The kids must be driving him up the wall by now, but I'm sure everyone is pitching in to help. I just hoped they weren't getting in to much trouble.
