01425 Romeo
Things had thus far had been going well for Harm and Mac, the kept their newfound relationship under wraps and were comfortable with each other, but they found themselves at home some nights after they had met for the evening and going to bed lonely. They weren't quite ready to stay over night at the other's apartment, they wanted a normal laid back relationship without complicating circumstances. The office however expected something was up but never said anything about in their presence. Harriet saw every little smile or look they shared. She even swore she had seen them lip locked when she walked by the break room one morning.
This morning however, things were slightly different. Harriet knew it the minute Mac walked into the office that there was something not right. She didn't seem to be radiating as much happiness as she had been lately and she was looking a little pale. Mac stayed in her office for most of the day and at about 1700 she went into the Admiral's office with a grim look and air about her. Harriet waited until she emerged an hour and a half later with a look of determination on her face. Harm stepped out to meet her at the other end of the bullpen, Harriet couldn't hear what was said but she saw that Mac had a look of sadness about her and Harm looked confused, like Mac was holding back information about something. Harm returned to his office quickly and Mac went to hers and within five minutes she was back out and with her coat and briefcase. She walked past Harriet and forced a smile and then on her way out the door she looked back at the bullpen and at where Harm was standing and the look of sadness returned and then she turned on her heel and left.
The Following Monday
1030 Romeo
Harm walked into the bullpen an hour late and was surprised to see that Mac's office was still dark. She had avoided him all weekend and he didn't know why. He walked over and opened her office door and when he turned on the lights he dropped his briefcase and cover both which hit the floor with a smack.
Everything, was gone, down to the last file and the office was empty completely stripped of Mac's things. It looked like she had never been here ever, eight years completely disappeared. He turned and shouted to Harriet.
"Where is Mac?" Harriet looked up at his alarmed voice.
"I don't know sir. She left on Friday at about oh…1710 and when I came in this morning that was what her office looked like." Harriet shrugged. She was just at as much of a loss as Harm was.
"You're sure you don't know where she is?" Harm panicked.
"No sir I don't. Maybe you should go to…" But Harriet hadn't finished when Harm leaving his things on the floor dashed out of the bullpen and down the stairs to his car and then sped off to Mac's apartment.
Mac's Apartment
One hour later
Harm dashed up the stairs and down carpeted hall to her apartment, which the door was open and as he approached a man stepped out with a large box.
"Hey you! What are you doing?" Harm said grabbing the man's arm. In a gruff voice the man answered,
"Moving Ms. Mackenzie's things, like she was asking."
"Look I am Harmon Rabb her… boyfriend and I want to know where these things are going and where she is." Harm demanded. The man set down the box and replied.
"You're Harm I suppose then."
"Yes."
"Well she told me not to tell anyone by that name a thing that I couldn't tell nobody and I promised her I would and I don't ever break a promise to a lady."
"What do you mean! I have to know."
"I can't tell you sir. She just gave me the new address and told me not to speak to a Harm. Sorry." Harm groaned,
"Well thank you sorry to bother you." He then began the walk down the stairs heartbroken. Where was Mac and why hadn't she told him what she was doing, surely it wasn't because she didn't love him. There had to be another reason. He was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't hear a voice calling him.
"Sir! Harm! Wait up!" Harm turned to see the man jogging towards him.
"I forgot. She left this on a box and it is addressed to you." The man handed him a small envelope and then returned to his duties. Harm opened it and written in her neat handwriting were the words,
My dear Harm,
I will always love you and maybe someday our paths may cross again. Please do not try and find me just don't forget me.
With love,
Your Ninja-Girl, Mac
Harm turned it over. There had to be more, that couldn't be all. Sadly however it was and with a tear escaping his eye he folded it up and walked back out and went to his car and headed back to JAG.
