"Commander, there is a very irate Colonel Mackenzie on the phone for you." The corps man informed him.

"Damn, I asked the Captain not to call her."

"Commander are you up to speaking to her?" He asked.

"I'd better she's my wife." Harm shuffled up and accepted the phone. "Hey Sarah."

"One don't try and placate me by calling me Sarah. Two the Captain didn't call me I called him."

"Mac honey..." Harm tried again.

"Don't Mac honey me Harmon Rabb Jr, if something happens I want someone to call me, I don't care what time it is."

"I didn't want Abi woken up."

"News flash Harm, Abi got woken up when I realised something was wrong. So did Meg, the Admiral and whoever he had to call to get this number."

"Mac can you please not yell I have a headache."

"Harm, are you okay?" Her voice softened.

"I'll be fine they're just keeping me under observation because I blacked out for a few seconds."

"Yeah, well Tomcats are made of sturdier stuff than your head."

"I take it Captain Johnson told you what happened."

"Oh yeah. I'd recommend not punishment anyone; you should know to look where you put your feet on an aircraft carrier."

"Duly noted." He smiled.

"So how much longer is it going to take to complete your investigation?"

"Well depends on how long they keep me here, then I have to finish my investigation and if there are charges to press. So probably the end of the week."

"You'll be staying where you are as long as they tell to otherwise I'll instruct the corps men to tie you to the bed."

"Kinky." Harm said remembering a similar conversation.

"Remind me to tell you why female Marines are like the Energizer Bunny when you get back."

"I think this is a red light situation Colonel." Mac chuckled. "So you never did tell me how it went with Jen."

"She has a broken hand, bruised ribs and a giant bruise on her face."

"So how's the plot for Webb's death going?" He asked.

"It wasn't his fault, the guy who she was watching took exception to her telling him he'd had too much to drink and back handed her into a table. A security guard who came to help stood on her hand and broke it."

"So Webb gets to live another day."

"Hang on a sec." He heard her put the phone down. "It's okay Meg, thanks... he has a concussion....I think he's pretty dumb for not calling too." She picked the phone again. "Harm, I got to go Abi won't settle. Call me and let me know what's happening and if you ever hurt yourself I'm the first call."

"I know. I love you Ninja girl."

"I love you flyboy." Harm hung up.

"Is your wife a Marine sir?" The corps man who took the phone from asked.

"Yeah."

"What does she do sir?"

"Since it's very early Sunday morning in Virginia she's a wife and mother. Tomorrow she'll be a judge, last Thursday she was a lawyer and last Friday she was acting JAG."

"Sounds like she had a busy week."

"Yeah, considering our daughter is only eight weeks old."

"What's she called sir?"

"Abigail Rose."

"It's pretty sir."

"It's good since we came up with it on the drive to the hospital."

"You didn't pick before hand?"

"We thought we had two more weeks, but Abi was born on Mac's last day at work and the day she got promoted to full Colonel."

"Your wife doesn't do things by halves does she?"

"Of course not. She's a Marine."

"Get some rest Commander I'll come back and check on your in a while." The corps man instructed.
