Chapter 13
The JAG staff found their way to Mac's room just in time to see that Dr. York had just finished hooking Mac up to the dialysis machine. Mattie stared at the plastic tube, which tapered from the clunky looking machine to the port in Mac's left thigh.
"Knock, knock," Harriet said as she knocked on the door.
Mac turned her head in time to see little AJ wake up start squirming in his mother's arms. "Auntie Mac!! Auntie Mac!!"
"Shhh," Harriet said to the child.
Mac laughed as the group came in and sat on the edge of Mac's bed making sure that they didn't sit on the IV tubes or the wire coming from the dialysis machine.
"Did Harm find you?" Mac asked.
"Yes," Coates said.
"And after fighting with me, he sent us up," Mattie said.
"Auntie Mac!" Little AJ yelled.
"Yes," Mac said to the child.
"What happened?" Little AJ asked.
"I got hurt," Mac said.
"Who hurt you?"
"A friend of mine."
"It wasn't Uncle Harm was it?"
"No Harm would never hurt me," Mac reassured the five year old.
"What is that?" Little AJ pointed to the dialysis machine.
"It's helping me get better."
"Well get well soon Auntie Mac," Little AJ stood up on the bed and hugged his godmother tightly around the neck.
"AJ we have to get going," Harriet told her son. "It's late."
"Mom! Can't we stay here?" Little AJ asked.
"No you have preschool tomorrow," Bud said. "Come on."
"Bye Auntie Mac," AJ said as he kissed his godmother on the cheek. "See you later."
Bud took his son in his arms, "We'll see you later ma'am."
"Bye Bud. Bye Harriet," Mac said.
As Harriet and Bud left the remaining JAG officers tried to establish a dialogue.
"So you plan on nailing that jerk or what?" Mattie asked.
"I plan on bringing him up on charges of abuse in the morning when I can hopefully find a phonebook and contact a civilian lawyer."
"So you're going to nail his ass."
"Did I ever tell you that I didn't like him?" Coates asked.
"I don't even know why I started dating him, always with the three piece suits," Mac laughed as she pictured Clay in the admiral's office the first day that she met him.
"I have to admit Webb did get on my nerves," AJ mentioned. "Always willing to kill someone if it was willing to keep him alive."
"You know we can sit here making wisecracks until he is convicted or one of us can get the phone book so I track down a couple decent attorneys," Mac proposed.
"Won't be necessary," Harm said as he entered the room. "I already found one." He handed Mac the book.
"Well I better get going," AJ said. "I've got to be at work early tomorrow."
"Yeah so do I," Coates said. "So we better hit the road too."
"Alright I'll see you later Mac," Mattie said as the three remaining officers left.
Mac took a deep breath. "Well I better get to sleep."
"I'll see if I can have one of the nurses set up a cot," Harm said. There was a pause in the conversation. "Mac, the admiral called your Uncle Matt and he said that he would be on the next flight to Washington."
"It wasn't necessary to call him," Mac insisted. "He has work to do."
"I know but he's the only family you really have," Harm said. "It could pay to have him tested for a kidney as well."
Mac had to admit that Harm made a lot of sense but she didn't see the point in bothering her uncle when he was stationed in Arizona. However deep down she wanted to give to the weights on her eyelashes and sleep. "You have a point there flyboy," Mac yawned as she closed her eyes and peacefully fell asleep.
Harm pulled up a chair and sat down and leaning back he fell asleep.

Harm awoke in the middle of the night to see Mac's uncle standing over her bed. It seemed like a scene someone would see in a promotional ad. Mac's uncle was standing over her stroking her hair as she slept peacefully in her bed.
"Colonel O'Hara," Harm said as he sat up straight.
"Commander Rabb," Colonel O'Hara said. "Thanks for staying with Sarah."
"It wasn't a problem," Harm said.
"I never liked that jerk," Colonel O'Hara said. "I knew that he was a loose cannon."
"I have to agree with you sir," Harm said. "I have to admit after their mission in Paraguay together I couldn't see him harming Sarah but after this..."
Silence hangs in the air and suddenly the two men hear a flat line coming from the heart monitor.
Hastily Harm pushed the intercom button. "Nurse we have a flat line."
A team of nurses and doctors rushed in and began trying to save Mac.
"Charge to 150," the doctor ordered.
"Charged," an orderly said.
"Wait!" a nurse called. "Look at the port for her dialysis machine."
The doctor examined the area and saw that it was red and puffy. "This isn't a cardiac arrest. This is anaphylactic shock."
"What do you mean?" Colonel O'Hara asked. "I thought that this was supposed to help a person with failing kidneys."
"She had an allergic reaction to one of the solutions," the doctor said. "It's about a million and one odds. There's no way we could have known." The doctor turned to a nurse. "I need ten ccs of epinephrine."
"So what do we do now?" Harm asked.
"We can't use the dialysis machine anymore," the doctor said.
