It's been such a long time. I want to forget my past. I was a rebel. Hard to believe huh? Lt. Col. Sarah MacKenizie as a rebel. I had the belly button ring, and at one time, I had short dark brown hair with VERY noticable red streaks through it. then, I let it grow out and I got rid of the red streaks. But after my best friend's OD, Reality hit me. I couldn't keep doing this and expect to live a long life. I chopped my hair off, and joined the marines. After a while, I got my law degree and joined JAG- Judge advocate general. And here I am today, a Lieutenant Colonel. My hairs grown back to right below my shoulders. I've made so many friends. Right now, though, I wish I could forget most everything that's happened. Harm left and that broke my heart. I didn't think I could make it without him. We've shared so much together. When he left, I broke down. I took a few days off, so I could collect my thoughts and put my perspectives in place.
-------------2 wks. later......
I'm leaving JAG. So many memories there; just too many. There's just too much that time cannot erase. I've already cleared it with the Admiral and all of the proper people. I'm going to go get my stuff today.
before I got there.....
"AJ!"
"Harm! Good to see you again!"
"Same here. Is Mac around?"
By then, Harriet and Bud had joined into the conversation.
"You don't know, Commander?"
"Know what? What aren't you telling me?"
"Mac doesn't work for JAG anymore."
"What? Since when?"
"Just a few weeks ago. She's really going into a downward spiral."
"What do you mean?"
"Her hair is getting long again, she is just losing everything that represented her."
I walked in with my head down. I went straight to my office. I piled all of my pictures and other stuff that belonged to me in a couple of boxes. I had all of my pictures of everyone on top. I walked back out of my office, and was on my way out. I was half-way out the door when I heard AJ say,
"Mac."
I thought 'damn. He saw me'. I really wanted to get out of here without being put through a guilt trip.
"I don't go by that anymore, sir."
"What do you go by, then?"
"Sarah. Just Sarah."
"Well, Sarah, will you come over here for a minute?"
I did as asked.
"Sarah, we want to say goodbye."
"And so do I."said Harm.
"Good for you."
"I AM STILL YOUR COMMANDING OFFICER, MACKENZIE."
"Sorry Sir."
