Chapter 4
Mac returned to work the next day with a sharp pain in her arm, it hurt when she moved it but she was afraid to go the doctor. She thought that if she went she would be asked a lot of questions about how she got it and the last thing she needed was another debate with Harm.
She walked into the JAG office and took the elevator up like she did most days but she felt a sting of fear having to face Harm after yelling at him yesterday but now she had to go to him and admit that she was wrong, and ask him for help.
She entered JAG ops and began searching for Harm as she walked to her office. She set her briefcase down and kept her eye out as she scanned the office for Harm. When she saw him heading for his office she ran out of her office and ran up to him.
"Harm I need to talk to you," she spoke up.
"Morning Colonel," Harriet interjected. "Where did you get that bruise on your cheek?"
"It's nothing Harriet," Mac insisted as she turned back to Harm. "Harm please listen to me." She followed Harm to his office and watched as he set the files down on his desk.
"You need to talk to me?" Harm questioned. "Go ahead."
"Let me start by apologizing for my behavior yesterday," Mac began.
"Apology accepted," Harm said coldly.
"I had no right to act that way and I just wanted to let you know that you were right," Mac said. Harm looked up in surprise. "I didn't realize it before but yesterday when I was talking to Clay I mentioned the fight that we had and he said that I had instigated it and to make a long story short..." Mac stopped short and took off her jacket so Harm could see the gash on her for arm, which by now had swelled and appeared to be infected with bacteria.
"How did you?" Harm asked.
"Clay attacked me," Mac said. "With a knife. You where right Harm, he's dangerous and I've realized that I have to get out of there."
"You're lying," Harm said. Mac looked at him in a way to say 'your kidding me.' "You're an intelligent woman Mac. You should have realized that he was abusive the first time that he hit you." Mac looked down in embarrassment.
"I did. I just didn't want to believe it but I believe it now and I have to get out of there."
"I know you do and it's in your best interest but we have to talk to the Admiral," Harm said. "He wants to help."
"Okay." Mac watched as Harm put in a call to Admiral Chedwiggen. She hoped that he would help her and that she could get away from this misery.
"The admiral wants us in his office ASAP," Harm announced. Mac took a deep breath. "Mac are you okay?"
"Yes I just want to get out of that house," Mac said. "I feel so trapped. It's like being under house arrest and the only place I can go is home or work."
"Alright lets go see the admiral," Harm said. "We'll straighten this all out." "Enter," AJ's voice boomed over the knocking of the door.
"Morning sir," Mac said as she entered followed by Harm.
"Morning Colonel," AJ said. "I understand that you have something that you wanted to talk to me."
"Yes," Mac began. "I understand that Harm came to you the other day with some concerns about my marriage. I wanted to tell you that he was right. Clay has been abusive for the past few months but I didn't want to realize it. So I've realized it now and I want to get out."
"Sit down," AJ ordered both of the attorneys's who obeyed him. "What has he been doing to you Mac?"
"He's just been hitting me," Mac said. "Usually in places that I can hide with my uniform. One time he just kicked me in the back several times and another time in the stomach. He has just been losing his temper more often. All I'm concentrating on right now is getting away from him and out of the house."
"Here's a fairly good plan," AJ began. "We send you back to the house so that you can collect some of your belongings. You go home with Harm and you spend that rest of the day there until tomorrow morning at which point we can transfer you to a safe house or a battered women's shelter whichever we can get a hold of first."
"Thank you admiral," Mac said. "I appreciate it."
"Good now get out of here Colonel and get out of that house," AJ ordered. "And I mean now. Not when you get off of work."
