"What do you mean you can't use the dialysis machine anymore?" Harm screamed. "That's the only thing that's keeping her alive."

"I'm sorry," the doctor said. "Unless a match comes in Colonel Mackenzie isn't going to make it."

"How long does she have without dialysis?" Harm asked.

"Not long," the doctor said. "Probably days."

Mac awoke later that morning. The first thing she saw was the sun and then she saw her Uncle Matt and Harm sleeping in two separate chairs next to her bed. She yawned exhaustedly saw the two men stir.

"Hey ninja-girl," her Uncle Matt whispered. "How are you feeling?"

"Groggy," Mac said. "When did your flight get in?"

"Late last night," Uncle Matt said.

"What happened to the dialysis machine?" Mac asked as she realized it had been moved out of her room.

"Mac that's what we needed to talk to you about," Harm said. "You had an allergic reaction to one of the chemical used in the dialysis machine. You went into anaphylactic shock and the doctors bought you back but they can't use the dialysis machine anymore because it will kill you."

"So what does this mean?" Mac asked. "I'm dying?"

"Yes and no," Uncle Matt said. "The JAG officers where all tested to see if they could possibly be your match. If one of them is your match they are willing to donate a kidney."

"Did you get the results back?" Mac asked.

"Yes," Uncle Matt said. "The results showed that Harm would be your best chance for a safe transplant."
