Livin' the High Life
*Chapter 2*
"Bud, Harriet, I need to talk to you", Mac announced as she approached them in the bullpen. They were discussing Harriet's new assignment to the USAO tours.
"Yes Ma'am", Harriet answered quickly. Bud also put the file he was holding down onto the desk.
"Harm and I are being reassigned to the new JAG in Everett, Washington", Mac started. She was crushed to see the sad look on their faces. "We're leaving in a month, but don't worry because we'll be able to visit during the holidays", Mac continued.
"Mac, I can't believe you're leaving", Bud said somberly. "But of course it'll mean that you two will have a better career", he added. "Just watch out for landmines", Bud said as he made his way to court. Harriet just stood there with a crushed look on her face.

For the next three weeks Harm and Mac spent their entire time at home packing boxes and looking for houses in Seattle. There were a couple of houses they liked but all of them were either on a busy street or they didn't have a backyard.
Finally, while Mac was checking housing listings on the Internet, Mac came across a possibility. It was a house that was built in 1856. It had white siding and navy blue shutters. The listing also said that it needed some updating but Mac felt confident this was the house they should purchase because she knew Harm was a pro at home renovations.
She printed out the listings and showed it to Harm so he could say yay or nay on the house. Harm only looked over the paper once and he automatically said this was the perfect house and that they should put an offer in on it.
Harm and Mac got their reassignment papers two days later and promptly made moving arrangements. They were going to take a plane from Falls Church to SeaTac. Their possessions were going a week early so that they would be there when Harm, Mac and Clark reached their home.
Sturgis, Bud, Harriet, PO Tiner and Cotes, and the Admiral said good-bye to Harm Mac and Clark on the Saturday they were set to leave. It was an emotional farewell and Harriet was crying.
Just before Harm and Mac were about to board their plane, Tiner cleared his throat and waited for everyone to pay attention. "Harm, Mac and everyone, you're invited to Jennifer's and my wedding on December 18th", He announced. After the initial shock, he added "That way you can come for the wedding and be home in time for Christmas in your new house".
"Congratulations you two", the Admiral exclaimed excitedly.
The last call for boarding came over the PA and Mac and Harm said their final good-byes as they boarded the plane.
The flight was uneventful except for the fact that Clark wasn't really aware of the concept of moving across the country.
After they landed, they took a cab to their house. The cab pulled up and the sight was breathtaking. What the listing failed to mention that the house was on private waterfront property. Also, in the listing the picture didn't show the yard, which turned out to be covered in extensive gardens.
TBC: I hope everyone liked this chapter. It came to my attention that someone who reviewed knew someone named Richard Clark. That's possible because I named him after some one named Richard Clark. Its not the one the person knows though because I named him after my dad. Any ways, I'll continue after I memorize for Drama otherwise I'll fail the course and my dad will get very angry.
