Stolen Angel

Chapter 3

"Can I help you sir?" Bud asked closing the file he was reading.

"Unfortunately my car is having trouble, and I have to make a run over to Norfolk, I was wonder if I could borrow your van, I'll pay for gas, but this run is very important."

"Of course sir." Bud eagerly agreed digging in his pocket for his keys.

"Thanks a lot buddy I knew I could count on you." Palmer smiled accepting the keys, Bud innocently wandered off, as Palmer stood smirking in the doorframe.

Explaining to the admiral that he had a witness to a case who suddenly needed to talk to him, Harm left JAG searching for Bud and Harriet's blue mini van. Palmer drove until he was outside Church Falls city limits, pulling off the main road and onto a deserted dirt road. He headed down the dirt road searching for his friend's home. He saw the run down cabin and pulled up in front. He fixed his Navy uniform as he got out of the van and ran up the concrete steps, knocking three times on the wooden door.

"Palmer?" His friend greeted.

"Yeah it's me."

"Good job." He complimented.

"Do you have it?" Palmer snapped being annoyed with the small talk.

"Yeah, yeah." His friend grumbled opening the door for his friend to walk through.

"Small enough not to be found in a random car search, an undetectable when the police search for a cause."

"Excellent." Palmer counted out his money accepting the device. "And I have your confidence that it'll work."

"Like a charm." His friend assured double checking the amount.

"Good." With that Palmer turned and left. Checking the clock when he got back in the van he decided to drive a little more to make it appear that he actually went to Norfolk and had an interrogation. He picked up lunch at a local restaurant, after finishing his double cheeseburger he filled up the gas tank and drove back to JAG.

Harm parked a distance away from the entrance so no one would see him tampering with the Robert's van. Flipping open the hood he did enough tinkering and then applied the device. Making sure no grease or anything that would hint to where he actually was, was on him, he straightened his uniform and made his way back into JAG. While eating he had made some false paper work for proof of his interview.

"Thanks Bud!" Harm thanked tossing him his keys.

"Any time Commander!" Harm returned to his office to complete his paper work. Mac walked into the bullpen at a quarter till eight, she stopped to wish the Robert's a good night as they left for the evening. Palmer watched in satisfaction, and smiled up at Mac when she entered.

"Long day?" He asked in concern, Mac stood in the doorframe rubbing her neck.

"You could say that how about you?"

"I had to meet a witness in Norfolk that insisted I meet her on the last minute, if I knew where you were I would of stopped in. Hey do you mind towing my car to the repair shop my car died on me." Palmer gave his best attempt at giving Harm's innocent look, Palmer had drained the transmission of fluid to aid his alibi.

"No, no problem at all let me just drop a few things in my office and then we can leave." Harm smiled as Mac retreated to her office.

"So far so good." Palmer complimented himself as he gathered what he needed and left, thinking about his next day's work…and of tonight.

Well what do y'all think? Please review.
