Summary: What happens when Mac ends up marrying Webb only to find out that he has violent tendencies.

Chapter 1:

"Objection your honor," Mac said as she sat on the prosecution side of the courtroom. "Argumentative!"

"Sustained," the judge told Harm.

"I'll rephrase," Harm commented. "What do you suppose ricocheting bullets look like?"

"Those in your hand sir," the witness answered.

"No further questions," Harm reported as she sat down.

"This court will recess until 0900 tomorrow," the judge said banging his gavel on the bench. "Dismissed!"

Mac and Harm gathered their materials and left the courtroom together.

"Dinner?" Harm asked Mac innocently.

"Sorry I can't," Mac answered politely. "Webb and I have plans."

"You know whenever I ask you ask for dinner you always have plans. Actually it started since after you got back from Paraguay with Webb," Harm observed.

"Of course," Mac said. "We're married."

"Yes but you never seem to be available anymore is something going on between you two?" Harm asked innocently.

"No we're very happy," Mac said. "I've got to go. Webb will be home soon."

With that Mac left Harm's side and climbed into her car to go back to the house she had bought with Webb a few months ago.

"Hello," Webb called as he walked through the parlor to see his wife setting the table for dinner. He walked up behind her and kissed her on the neck. Mac tensed as he wrapped his arms around her waist. "It's okay. Relax!"

"No! Clay! Stop!" Mac said as she writhed her way out of Webb's arms as his grip tightened. "Clay! Stop it!" Mac managed to pull herself out of Webb's grip . "You can be such a ...." Mac's voice staggered but Webb knew what she was going to say.

Angry, Webb hit Mac across the face. "Never disrespect me like that again. Do you understand?"

Mac looked up to face him as she nursed her cheek and nodded in understanding.
