Harm's Apartment
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The pounding of Harm's heart left him breathless as he tried to calm himself down. He tried to convince himself that nothing happened to Mac. She was going to come home to him safely. After failing to use his lawyer skills on himself he knew he had only one choice, but to find out the truth. There was only one man that he knew that could tell him.
The phone ringing on the other line was no answer, but finally the familiar greeting came over the line.
"Webb," sleepily Webb greeted into the phone.
"Webb, this is Harm. I need to know what's happened to Mac!" cried Harm.
"Can't this wait for the morning?"
"Something's happened to her, and I need to know."
"You probably know more then me, Harm. I'm not working with her on this investigation. I haven't worked with her since we worked together."
"You've got to find out. I know she was on an investigation, but...but I can't explain it but something has happened."
"I will try in the morning. There is nothing I can do now. Go back to sleep, and as soon as I know something I will call you."
"Webb there's got to be a way to find out something!"
"There is no option. Go back to sleep. She's probably just fine, and you are worrying yourself over nothing."
Harm tried to choke back the tears that were threatening. "If something happened to her, I'll go after the man that did this to her."
"Rabb, calm down now. Nothing's happened. Good night." Webb hung up the phone before getting a response from Harm.

Webb's Home
~~~~~~~~~~~
There was no going back to sleep for Clayton Webb that night. It seemed destiny was to go without it. It wasn't even a moment later after hanging up that his phone would ring again.
"Webb!" cried annoyed Clay answered the phone.
"Sir, this is Gunny Sergeant Galindez. Sorry to wake you, but I need to relay some information to you."
"I was already awake. What is it?"
"It is about Colonel Mackenzie. She was found unconscious in the passenger seat of a truck full of what looks like other survivors of a bomb. The driver still has not been found."
"What is her condition, Galindez?"
"She survived surgery, but they are not promising anything to me about her chances of living."
"Keep me updated on her condition. I want to know everything. Is there any investigation going on about what happened?"
"Yes, sir. They will not let me take part. I believe the CIA is behind it all."
"Mac was undercover for the CIA. Try using my name to get into the investigation. I'll try to get to Afghanistan as soon as possible. I want to know what happened now."
"Will you be informing Commander Rabb?"
"He's my next phone call. Now go find out what's happening, and get back to me." Suddenly, the alarms could be heard over the phone line. "What's going on?"
"It's coming from the Colonel's room." Gunny was soon on his feet rushing to her room to find out what was happening, and completely forgetting about Webb on the phone.
