A/N: Look, an update! It's a miracle! I could have a long list of excuses,
but I won't list them. All I'll say is that I am truly sorry for the wait.
This story only has a few chapters left to go. WARNING: This beginning of
this chapter is sad. It will get better though!
Disclaimer: I do not own JAG or the song "Stand By Me". If I did, I would
not be in school right now!

Mac's POV
I can't remember how long I've been here. It seems like years, although in reality it's probably only a few days. I'm beginning to wonder if anyone even cares. If Harm were here, he'd care. But he's gone. Sokol came in yesterday, or maybe the day before, I've lost track of the days, telling me that Harm's dead. Just like that, he's gone. I can't even cry anymore. I'm done with that. I know I should stay strong, waiting for something to happen. I just feel like these are empty prayers now.
Those thought kept running through my head, no matter how hard I worked to stop them. I just can't believe Harm's gone. I won't believe it. He can't be. He just can't. My thoughts were interrupted by a sharp crack, indicating that Sokol had entered the room. I quickly wiped my face of the unwanted tears and looked up.
"Good morning, Sarah." Sokol said, in a soft, menacing voice.
Those three words were enough to make me feel sick. Sarah. Harm was the only one I let call me that. I spat at Sokol's feet. "Don't you ever call me that again." I hissed.
Sokol grabbed my face angrily. "You still won't' give in." he said. "Even though Harm is dead, you won't give in." He shook his head, pacing around my chair. "I've been a patient man, Sarah." Again, I wince at the name. "But my patience wears thin." He reached out, slapping me hard across the face. "Think hard about whether you want to live or die, because the choice is yours." With those words, he left the room.
Harm's POV
Three days. Three horrible, nerve racking days since I've seen my beautiful Sarah. I've searched everywhere, but I can't find any trace of her. I slammed my hand on the dashboard angrily. "D*** Sarah, where are you!" I cried angrily. I flicked on the radio, just to get my mind off my misery. Bad idea. Our song is on. Rather, the song I've dubbed ours.
When the night has come And the land is dark And the moon is the only light we'll see No I won't be afraid Oh I won't be afraid Just as long as you stand, stand by me
So darlin' darlin' stand by me Oh stand by me Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon Should tumble and fall Or the mountain should crumble to the sea I won't cry, I won't cry No I won't shed a tear Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darlin' darlin' stand by me Oh stand by me Whoa stand now, stand by me, stand by me
[Music]
Darlin' darlin' stand by me Oh stand by me Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me Oh stand by me Whoa stand now, oh stand, stand by me
She doesn't know that this is our song. But when I'm with her, I feel so much stronger. I feel like I can do anything in this world. My kick-a** marine. I grinned when I thought about that. I pull off the side of the road, suddenly overcome with emotion. Memories of Mac and me together flow through my mind, cutting through me like a knife. Tears begin to pour down my face, but I don't bother to hide them. After several minutes of sitting there, I get a sudden image of Mac, sitting alone in a warehouse. She's tied up, tears pouring down her face. I tried to call out to her, but I'm pulled back into reality. Instead of being more upset, I smile and pick up my phone. "Admiral Chegwidden?"
"Yes." The Admiral's voice answered back.
"I think I know where Mac is."
(A/N: Yeah, short but I thought that was a pretty good place to leave off. The next chapter will be better. I wasn't very happy with this, but you needed an update. Thanks for all the amazing reviews. Next chapter up soon. (Hopefully!)
