Chapter 6
"Harm I have to hand it to you," Mac said. "Your meatballs are pretty good. I wish I could say the same for your meatloaf."
"Mac don't be so damn judgmental," Harm said as they finished their dinner. "Listen, Mac, I was just wondering what you plan on doing about your baby?"
"Well," Mac began. "I think I'm going to keep it, but Clay can easily find me at any obstetrician's office in the U.S. so the question remains how do I keep a low profile and still have the baby. I mean I know abortion is a possible option but I just can't do it."
"I understand Mac," Harm said. "After you get settled, where ever you decide to stay. I want you to call me and I will help you take care of the baby."
"Do you remember the baby deal that we had?" Mac asked.
"Yeah," Harm said. "I do."
"This isn't exactly how either of us pictured having a baby," Mac said.
"I know," Harm said as the electricity suddenly went out. "Dammit!!!"
"Where's your circuit breaker?" Mac asked.
"It's downstairs on the ground floor of the apartment," Harm said. "Just stay here and I will go down to the circuit breaker."
"Harm!" Mac clung to his hand like she was a frightened child.
"Relax Mac. I'll be right back and everything will be fine," Harm assured her.
Harm took a flashlight and left his apartment. Mac sat there in silence as she heard a creaking sound come from outside the window. She jumped back startled. She moved into the kitchen where there where fewer windows that she could be seen from and heard a creak come from outside that window as well.
She knew that Harm still had his cell phone on him so she took hers out and began dialing the buttons on the keypad. She kept hanging up and redialing because her heart was racing and her palms where sweating profusely and in her hast she ended up dialing the wrong number.
When she finally got through she got Harm's voice mailbox. She started to pant worried that something had happened to Harm but he had just gone down to check the circuit breaker. She tried to assure herself that Harm had turned it off so that he didn't waste the battery but it didn't help she still worried.
She heard the front door creek open and she counter. She didn't see who it was but if Harm had fixed the circuit breaker the lights would have been on and she wouldn't have needed to worry about who was entering the apartment.
"Sarah!" the voice called.
Mac was petrified. She knew who the voice was. It was Clay, but how did he know that she was here?
"Come out," Clay said. "I won't hurt you."
Clay entered the kitchen and Mac tried to control the rapid panting that was coming from her fear. She thought that if he couldn't hear her he would go away, but he turned and looked straight at Mac on the floor in her marine uniform.
"I'm not going home with you Clay," Mac said as she stared him down.
"What I don't understand is why you left," Clay said. "And why did you choose to come here? You had to have known that I would find you."
"Mac!" Harm yelled as he came into the apartment. Webb ducked down so he would not be seen. "Mac, the power for the entire block is out we're going to have to..." Harm rounded the corner and saw Webb couched down next to Sarah. "Webb."
"Don't move Harm," Clay said as he pulled Mac closer to him and pulled out a gun. "Or she dies."
