passengers side, the doors shut.

A scream and the sound of a slap and the sound of a fist hitting the

skin of the female.

The tail lights come on and then the lights go off, the male gets out

and walks around opening the passenger door and taking the still body

of the female out of the Vette, the door is shut, the male walks down

Last night there had been a party at the King Kamehameha Club, one

of the NIA officers was promoted in rank from Lieutenant(jg) to full

HIGGINS: Yes I see, but Magnum this is Saturday.

Magnum looks at Higgins and he smiles.

MAGNUM: This is a trick, your trying to trick me aren't you?

HIGGINS: Go back in the guesthouse and ask your lady friend

what day it is.

MAGNUM: There's no one in the guesthouse Higgins.

Higgins looks at Magnum and knows that Magnum is telling the truth,

have stayed over after the party last night.

headache, the phone rings Magnum reaches over and picks the receiver

up.

Black Leather ladies shoes on the floor of the car.

Magnum picked the shoes up, they were those of a female Naval Officer

he was confussed as the last person who was in his car that was a

female was Jackie.

He looked further and finds a gold chain on the seat where the seat

and back come together, he looks at the chain and can see that it was

broke at the clasp, it had been as it looked ripped from someones neck.

He shuts the car door and looks at the drive way around his car he sees

what looks like maybe drag marks a few feet from the side of the car.

MAGNUM: Found this in my car Higgins as well a pair of Officers shoes.

HIGGINS: You don't know how they got there?

the party, and I went to bed at 4:am.

HIGGINS: Your car never left last night as I would have known the

noise kept me awake so I spent a good part of the night awake and

on the balcony.

MAGNUM: I'm sorry about the noise Higgins.

HIGGINS: The sounds of that girl screaming woke me up.
MAGNUM: Girl screaming what time was that Higgins?

to herself. Rick looks at TC as the question was now on Ricks mind now.

Did Thomas know Karen Morgan and is that why his face went white?

good idea what was wrong with Magnum.

CRAWFORD: Karen was a girl friend of the Admiral's right? looking

again at Michelles picture.

Rick walked across the room.

RICK: You want TC and me to ask him?

Magnum looked over at MacNeel.

MAGNUM: Someone was on your base Colonel.

MACNEEL: Yes I agree.

The marks of a rubber boat and footsteps walking inland was enough to

show Magnum that the people ran into something they hadn't figured on.

MACNEEL: I have to say, that sometimes the guys brought their girls

up here, I knew all about it, and I never did anything to stop it....

MAGNUM: No MacNeel, that was not the case here....someone that didn't

belong here did this.

Magnum and the colonel walk back to the sedan, Magnum stops and has

one more look around reaches for the door and opens it gets in and shuts

the door. MacNeel starts the engine backs up and drives down the road

in the direction of his quarters.
MACNEEL: Are you in a hurry Sir?

MAGNUM: Its 18:00 and I think maybe Captain Porter would like to go

home for the day.

MACNEEL: Yes Sir, was going to suggest that you and Captain Porter stop

off before leaving and have a drink.

MAGNUM: Tell you what, maybe the next time Colonel or if thats an

invitation we will come at a later date.

MACNEEL: Yes sir, my wife will enjoy the company.

MAGNUM: Yes, I'll advise Captain Porter in reguards to your invitation.

Colonel MacNeel pulls in the parking lot of the hospital, Jackie has a

small paper bag with the articals that she had been told to pick up and

there really wasn't anything that would help Magnum in the search for

what had happen at the gunnery range.

apart and papers thrown about, they look at each other as someone was

looking for something. Magnum walks to the bedroom, and on the floor

beside her bed was a picture of Karen, and she hadn't changed.

Magnum picked up the picture from the floor, he sat down on the edge

of the bed, and thinks back to July 12 1971.

was the first day that went on for the next few weeks. 20 days

leave and he spent it all with Karen. The first week brought news that

Commander Morgan had been killed, it was a very hard time for Karen.

KAREN MORGAN: Thomas when do you leave?

MAGNUM: Monday morning 7:am my flight leaves.

KAREN MORGAN: Stay with me tonight Thomas.

MAGNUM: Yeah I'll stay and maybe I won't go at all.

lays her down on the bed.

A voice brings him back to where he was at as he set the picture on

the stand and looked up at Jackie.

Magnum looked at Sherri the few months she had been on duty he was very

pleased with her work as Jackie Porter had broke her in well.

And the fact that she was a Mirror image of Michelle Magnum did have

for a time difficulty not calling her Michelle. He looked back down at

the paper and back up at the officers.

starts his little voice working, Black Vette, that may be why his car

back to his car, opens the door and starts the engine, backs up and

drives away, Watching his moves was a Naval Officer Lieutenant Brad

Rodgers the owner of the Black Corvette. Rodgers wonders why a Navy
