"Are you waiting for news on Colonel Mackenzie?" Mary asked the group who
were gathering in the waiting room.
"Yes." Some replied.
"Admiral Chegwidden?" She questioned.
"And you are?" He asked.
"Lieutenant Commander O'Brien. I'm Mac's OB sir."
"It's nice to meet you. How's Mac doing?" AJ shook her hand.
"Things are moving quite quickly it will probably be another hour or so. And let me see about the rest of you. Commander Turner, Lieutenant Roberts and Lieutenant Sims. I was expecting a Petty Officer Tiner, Petty Officer Coates and a Gunnery Sergeant Galindez too."
"They're manning the phones at JAG." AJ replied.
"Yes sir. While you're all here do you think someone could locate Harm he's MIA."
"MIA where exactly?" Sturgis asked.
"Mac sent him to get his head checked out." Mary replied.
"Odd time for a shrink." Sturgis muttered.
"He bumped his head when he fainted. He'll probably be in the emergency room."
"I'll go." Sturgis offered.
"Good because Mac is cursing in Russian. I don't speak Russian but it doesn't sound all that positive."
"I'm on it." Sturgis headed for the elevator.
"If you'll excuse me sir. I need to get back to work."
"Carry on."

"Harm?" Sturgis said.
"Sturgis what are you doing here?" Harm asked looking still holding a bag of ice on the back of his head.
"We're all here. I was sent to retrieve you before you were declared MIA."
"Is Mac okay?" He asked.
"She's still has another hour or two to go, but she's cursing in Russian. She needs you now."
"Some idiot kid wants me to have a CT scan."
"One minute." Sturgis went up to the desk and talked to the nurse. He had a rapid conversation with the nurse before coming back to Harm. "Let's go."
"What did you say to her?" Harm asked picking up his cover from the chair.
"That if I didn't take you with me a very angry Marine Colonel who was in labour would come and kick everyone's sixes."
"You didn't?" Harm questioned.
"No, I told them your wife was in labour upstairs and that if you had any symptoms of concussion I'd bring you back down myself. She said you could go, if the Doctor still thinks you need a CT you can have one in a couple hours."
"Thanks Sturgis." Harm smiled.
"What are godparents for?" He shrugged.

"Yes." Some replied.
