"Where is Sarah?" Sadik asked as Harm thought of a way out of this situation.
"Sarah doesn't work here," Harm replied.
Sadik laughed. "Yes, she does. She's a lieutenant colonel in the Marines. Where is she? And don't tell me she's out of town. I know her car is outside."
"I'm driving her car around this week," Harm replied.
"Then why is your car out there, too?" Sadik glared at Harm. "I'm not as dumb as you Americans."
Harm shrugged. "Well, you've got me there. I don't know where she is."
Sadik was about to say something when there was a knock at the door. "Should I get that?" Harm asked.
"Yes. But if you make one move," Sadik warned as he lowered the gun to hide it from the view of whoever was at the door.
Harm took a breath. "Enter."
The door slowly opened to reveal Trish. "I'm sorry to interrupt, I just left my purse in here."
"It's okay. Mr. Horn and I were just discussing some information," Harm said hoping his mother wouldn't notice his nervousness.
Trish sensed something was wrong, but she didn't say anything. "Oh, well, I do hope everything is okay."
Sadik looked at her. "Everything is fine. We're almost finished. Aren't we, Commander?"
"Almost," Harm agreed.
Trish grabbed her purse and smiled. "Then I'll just go on."
"Thank you," Sadik said.
Trish looked at Harm who looked very nervous. Then she looked over his shoulder to the where she saw the reflection of Sadik in the glass of the computer monitor. She looked carefully and saw the gun in his hand.
Her eyes widened and Sadik realized where she was looking. He looked off to the side and saw the monitor. "That was a very stupid move, woman." He growled as he raised the weapon. "Close the door."
Trish looked over at Harm with fear in her eyes.
Harm nodded calmly. "Just do what he says."
Trish took a step towards the door and closed it, but not before she mouthed the word 'gun' to Harriet who was looking at Harm's office when Trish closed the door.
Harriet watched as Trish shut the door. The young lieutenant felt her skin start to crawl. She quickly stood up and walked to Coates who was at her desk. "Jen, I need to see the admiral."
Jen looked up at Harriet. "He's asked not to be disturbed, ma'am."
Harriet looked towards Harm's office. "This is an emergency."
Jen picked up her phone. "Sir, Lieutenant Sims wishes to speak with you…sir, she said it was an emergency…Yes, sir." She hung up the phone. "Go ahead, ma'am."
Harriet turned and knocked at the door.
"Enter," AJ barked. Harriet walked into the office and closed the door behind herself. "What is it, lieutenant?"
Harriet took a deep breath. "Sir, I believe Commander Rabb is in his office with a man holding him at gunpoint."
AJ looked up at her. "Why would you believe this, lieutenant?"
"Mrs. Burnett went into his office and when she closed his door she mouthed the word gun, sir," Harriet explained with nervousness.
"His mother is holding him at gunpoint."
Harriet sighed heavily. "No, sir. Mr. Horn is."
"Who's Mr. Horn?"
"I don't know, sir. But the man gave me the creeps."
AJ was about to respond when his phone rang. He hit the intercom button. "Chegwidden."
{"Sir, this Staff Sergeant Douglas. We have a situation."}
"What type of situation, staff sergeant?"
{"One of the food service delivery men is missing, sir," Douglas reported.}
AJ looked at Harriet. "What do you mean 'missing'?"
{"He asked to use the restroom, sir. His partner went in to check on him and found his uniform in the garbage can."}
"What?!"
{"Yes, sir."}
"What did he look like?" AJ asked.
{"Six foot two, black hair, green eyes, medium build, sir."}
AJ glanced at Harriet. "Does that match the description of Mr. Horn?"
"Kind-of, sir. Except he had brown eyes," Harriet reported.
{Douglas interrupted. "Sir, we've found a pair of green colored contact lenses on the counter top."}
"Has a Mr. Horn sighed in though the check point?" AJ asked.
{"I've been working check point all morning and I don't remember that name," Douglas recalled.}
"Sergeant, send a team up here. I believe your missing delivery man is in Commander Rabb's office and it is possible he might be armed," AJ informed Douglas.
{"Yes, sir."} Douglas quickly hung up the phone.
"Are you sure she mouthed the word gun?" AJ asked Harriet as he hit the end button on the phone.
"Yes, sir."
"How is it you were looking at his office at the moment?"
Harriet wrung her hands together. "Well, sir…ever since Mr. Horn walked into the office I've had a weird feeling."
"Weird as in an off feeling or weird as in Mac's feelings?"
"The second one, sir," Harriet said as there was knock on the door.
"Enter," AJ commanded.
The door opened to reveal Douglas. "Staff Sergeant Douglas, sir."
AJ stood up and walked towards Douglas. "Where's the team?"
"I've got two outside and the rest in the bullpen, sir," Douglas reported.
AJ, Douglas, and Harriet walked out into the bullpen and saw five Marine MP's standing there. The JAG staff looked at each other in confusion, but in silence.
Inside Harms office Sadik, Trish, and Harm noticed the lack of noise coming from the bullpen. "They know you're here," Harm taunted.
"Well, let's go introduce ourselves then," Sadik said as he walked towards Harm and pulled him from his seat.
Trish bit back a yelp as she watched Sadik place the gun into Harm's side.
"Open the door, woman."
Trish looked at Harm with fear written all over her face.
"Now, woman!"
Startled Trish let out a mild scream which sounded twice as loud since the bullpen was dead silent. However since the MP's heard the scream the sound of their weapons being pulled filled the small space.
Slowly the door opened and Trish walked out first, very slowly. As she crossed the threshold of the door Sadik warned Harm. "You try anything heroic, I'll kill her and you."
"I won't try anything," Harm said as he wished his mother never came for a visit today.
The MP's and the staff watched as Trish walked out of the office followed by Harm who now had Sadik's gun tucked under his neck. Several of the staff members gasped when they saw this. "Everyone to the far wall," Sadik ordered.
AJ looked at his staff. "Do what he says."
Slowly the staff moved towards the far wall, except for the MP's who now had their guns trained on Sadik and unfortunately Harm who was in their line of fire.

"His route is to JAG, sir." Mike reported.
Kersh looked at Mike. "Contact Webb and get a team moving there."
"On it, sir." Mike said as he rushed to his desk to make a few calls.
