Hey guys. Thanks for all your wonderful reviews and ideas. I might use some
of them but I mostly have a different idea of what I want to happen. The
stalker is revealed in this chapter but I'm not entirely sure if I got his
name right. I hope that you'll know who I mean. One more thing, if I get
off the subject a little don't worry because it will work out in the end.

"I'm getting sick of this. I'm tired of waiting to have my Sarah. I'm going to just forget about the others and go after Sarah's little boyfriend." a man said, his face to the wall. "Sir do you think that's wise?" a voice from across the room asked. "Chris I told you this is my operation and I'll do what I want. I need you to contact Palmer and tell him to forget about the old man." "Yes sir." Chris answered. "Good." he said. The man picked up a picture of Mac. "We'll be together soon my love. I promise you that. Mark Sokol doesn't go back on his word." Sokol laughed evilly.

Mac's POV
We had been sitting in the waiting room for hours, waiting for news on Sturgis. The bullet had gone through his chest, collapsing his left lung. I looked over to where Bobbie and Chaplain Turner were. Bobbie was hysterical. I didn't blame her. What if it was Harm in there fighting for his life. I shivered at the thought. I don't know what I'd do if I lost him. I looked over at him. He was using the payphone to call Admiral Chegwidden and keep him updated on what was happening.
Harm walked over to me and smiled. It was the first real smile he'd given me all day. "What'd A.J. do this time?" I asked. He laughed.
"The Admiral gave him some crayons and a coloring book, then left to go get some cookies. When he came back."
"He had colored all over the walls." I finished.
"Yep." Harm said.
I started to say something else when a doctor walked out of the O.R. "Is there anyone here for Commander Turner?" he asked.
Harm, Bobbie, Chaplain Turner, and I stood up. "We are." I said.
"Is Sturgis going to be okay?" Bobbie asked, wringing her hands nervously.
The doctor smiled. "Well he's not completely out of the woods yet, but I think he's going to make a full recovery."
"Thank you Jesus." Chaplain Turner said.
"Can we see him?" Harm asked.
"Right now he's still in recovery but when we move him to his regular room you can."
"Thank you doctor." Chaplain Turner said.
I just stood there. I knew the doctor said that Sturgis was going to be okay, but it was my fault he was hurt in the first place. I knew that I had to confront my stalker and soon. I couldn't let him hurt anyone else. I just wish that I knew who it was. I have many enemies. It could be Palmer, Coster, or even Brumby. At this point you could have told me it was Renee and I would have believed you. I just don't know.
Harm put his arm on my shoulder. "We'll find whoever's doing this I promise." he said. I smiled. It was almost as if he could read my thoughts. Suddenly he grabbed my hand and started pulling me from the waiting room.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"You'll just have to wait and see." he said.
He led me out to the parking lot and to his car. "Shouldn't we stay here?" I asked.
"No there's no reason for us to. We know that everyone at the hospital is okay and if anybody needs us I told Chaplain Turner where we were going."
We drove for about half an hour when Harm pulled off to the side of the road. "Put this over your eyes." he said, handing me a blindfold.
I laughed. "Harm you're crazy!" I exclaimed.
"And I'm proud of it." he said, "Now put the blindfold on."
"Fine." I said, "But you owe me this time sailor." I let him tie the blindfold for me.
After driving for ten more minutes, I could feel him pull into a parking spot. "Can I take off this blindfold now?" I asked.
"Hold on a minute we're not there yet." he said.
"You mean I have to walk blindfolded." I said.
"I'll guide you. I promise I won't let you fall." he said. He put his hands on my shoulders and led me out of the car. I felt the familiar surge of energy when he touched me.
"Are we there yet?" I asked. "Almost." he answered. About 2 minutes later he said, "Okay we're here."
"Close your eyes." he said.
"Harm I'm already blindfolded why do I have to close my eyes?" I asked.
"Because I said so." he answered, "And I'm in charge."
I giggled. "Yes sir." I said, saluting.
Harm swatted at me playfully. "Are your eyes closed?" he asked.
"Yes Harm." He took off the blindfold and then said, "Okay open your eyes.'
I opened my eyes and gasped. He had brought me to The Rose Garden. "Harm it's beautiful." I said, "But why did you bring me here?"
"Because this is where we first met." he said, "It's the place I first saw your beautiful face. It's the place I first realized that I loved you."
I opened my mouth to speak but he put his fingers to my lips. "Let me talk." he said, "I've waited to long to tell you that I loved you. I'm sick of this dance. Sarah you mean the world to me. Please say you love me to."
"Of course I love you Harm." I whispered. He grabbed me by the waist and pulled me into a deep passionate kiss. I broke the kiss and stared into his eyes. As soon as I did, it began to rain. Within a few minutes we were soaked but we didn't notice.
Harm pulled away from me after a few minutes and disappeared form my sight. "Where are you going?" I called after him. He didn't answer. I started to run in the direction he went when he came back with a radio in his hands. He clicked the play button and soft music floated from the speakers.
"Dance with me." he said. We danced for hours that night. I couldn't believe this was happening to me. It seemed like one minute I was scared to death of a stalker and the next I was wrapped in Harm's safe embrace. "I love you." I said. "I love you too." he answered. We were so wrapped up in each other that we didn't even notice the sniper on the roof of a building near us. He aimed his gun at Harm and pulled back the trigger.
(Well what did you think. I bet you were surprised at who the stalker is. I don't know why I chose him. He just always seemed like the kind of guy to stalk Mac. He already loves her so why not. PLEASE REVIEW!"
