AN: Extensive author's notes at the end.
Time To Leave
Mac had been rigidly fixed to the table when she heard shots coming from the outside. She didn't dare hoping that it was someone who had come to rescue them, but the thought did cross her mind. A few minutes later Harm showed up at the door. His facial expression was hard to read. He didn't seem happy or relieved to find her. He only stopped for a while and than he went to free her from the table.
"Elena is in the basement with Webb," Mac said. Rescue had come and now she had to make sure her daughter was taken out of here.
"You found her," it was a statement that lacked any surprise you would have assumed that Harm was feeling about this fact.
"Yeah," Mac picked up the gun her former guard had had and they went out to go over to help Gunny get both Webb and Elena out. Mac who knew in what condition Webb was in and that one person couldn't get them both out of there.
Twenty minutes later Webb was sitting on the passenger seat of the red jeep Gunny and Harm had driven into the compound. Harm and Gunny were trying to fix change the tire and Mac was feeding Elena standing beside Webb. They had decided that Gunny was going to drive Webb and Elena to the hospital and Mac and Harm would go and try to destroy the stinger-missiles. Mac didn't really want to leave Elena now when she had finally had her in her arms, but she also knew this was the best way to go. She and Harm would have a better chance of accomplish the mission together and Elena and Webb needed to get to hospital as soon as possible, which Gunny was more capable of doing than she was since he knew the way there.
During the rescue they hadn't found the man who had kidnapped Elena in the first place and they suspected that he had left Paraguay, even before Mac and Webb had gotten there. To Mac it didn't matter anymore anyway, she just wanted to get home as soon as possible.
Mac saw that they seemed to be close to finished with the tire and gave Elena, who had now both finished eating and been burped, to him to hold.
"I hope you realize that regardless of what you went through the last couple of days for us, if anything happens to her on your watch you'll wish to be in this state again, do you understand me?"
"Yes, ma'am," Webb got out and held on a little tighter to the baby. Mac leaned forward and kissed Elena's head and looked into Webb's eyes so he would see how much trust she had put in him. She took his hand and squeezed it before letting go and turn around to face Harm.
They had gotten to a small hangar beside a rather large farm. Mac had kept her pregnancy suit on her and they now used it to try to get one of the planes.
"Mein Baby kommt zu früh. Mein Mann muss mir su einem Krankenhaus fliegen. Können wir Ihr Flugzeug mieten?"Mac was leaning over in pain to try to persuade him to let them take his plane. First he said he had to dust his crops, but finally he consented.
"Ich werde Sie selber hinfliegen."
"Nein. Er ist Pilot der kann das machen wenn wir nur Ihr Flugzeug nehemen dürfen,"Mac had to make him let them leave alone with the plane. The man suddenly went over to speaking English and they discussed a price for the rental.
At last they were getting ready to fly. Harm had started the engine and Mac felt her fear of flying coming back.
"I never had much luck flying with you. One time I was ejected over the Russian Taiga and another time we crashed and I was shot by a deranged hillbilly. I still have that scar by the way. I hope you aren't planning on making my daughter an orphan this time."
"Well Mac it would be the third strike. Besides she wouldn't really be an orphan she'd still have Sturgis," Harm tried to lighten the tension by joking, but realized it was a badly chosen time and subject to joke about when Mac turned and looked at him with a look that could have killed. It was too late for her to do anything about it now, a few seconds later they were up in the air.
They had dropped the explosives and they had hit the Stinger-missiles that they were intended for. One problem was out of their mind, but another was fast intruding on it. Harm had little control of the plane and there was no doubt that they were going to crash. The question was just where and with what result.
To Be Continued
Will Mac and Harm survive the crash? Does Gunny get Webb and Elena to the hospital in time? What will be the lasting effects of the events of this 'season'? You'll find out in the sequel Love and Troubles. (Don't expect it too soon though)
Author's note: I want to thank everybody who supported me through reviews and feedback. It was greatly appreciated and it's nice to see when someone else is enjoying what you've written. I especially want to thank Cria, TZ and Dor all the help I got with beta-reading.
This was my first fan fiction ever and I had so much fun writing it. Writing has become my new addiction. The encouragement of course made it even better. I would love to hear what you feel I could do better with my writing so the sequel becomes better than this one was. As long as the critic is constructive I don't mind it at all.
Because of some of the comments I got I want to explain some of the reasons why I wrote this story. It was never meant as a scenario that I would have preferred over what happened on the show. It was simply meant to explore a different possibility to the real show.
Apparently some people think that I don't like Mac (and Sturgis) because of what they're doing in this story. I love both characters and to be honest don't really feel that I wrote them as bad people. I don't know if people think so because they have different opinion than I have or because what I mean doesn't come across in my writing. It might also be because I actually know what's going to happen later on...
