"You can go straight in." Jen said to Harm and Harriet when they got to
Mac's office.
"Thanks Jen and go with the terracotta." Harm told her.
"That's what I keep saying but Jason disagrees, sir. If push comes to shove, I'll shove him out the door and repaint it myself."
"Give me a call if you need a hand." Harm said as he tapped on the door and entered.
"Yes sir." Jen smiled.
"Hey." Harm said as he saw Mac.
"Hi. So Dragon Lady paid you a visit?" Mac smiled.
"She wanted to know if I wanted to have lunch." Harm replied.
"Dragon Lady?" Harriet questioned. "You mean Captain Krennick?"
"Oh yeah." Harm replied.
"Have you met before sir?" Harriet asked.
"Unfortunately." Harm sat down in the chair. "I asked Harriet to have lunch with us."
"That's good." Mac said. Harriet was still looking slightly confused. "Krennick was here when Harm was partnered with Meg, she was the Admiral's aide as well. She had a thing for the dress white and gold wings and kept making very unsubtle passes at Harm. Turned up at his apartment wanting to use the shower that kind of thing."
"Oh really?" Harriet said trying not to laugh. "How very terrible for you sir." She could help but laugh.
"Harriet, it's not that funny."
"Sorry sir, hormones." Harriet put her hand over mouth, Mac laughed too.
"I thought hormones made you cry or get mad, not laugh."
"Hormones depend on the situation." Mac replied. "But right now I'm hungry, so can we go eat so I don't pass out in front of the Dragon Lady, who happens to be a pretty good lawyer."
"I never said anything about her being a bad lawyer, just about her social graces." Harm protested.
"Don't worry we'll protect you." Mac winked at him. "Right Harriet?"
"Yes ma'am." Harriet readily agreed.
"But not on an empty stomach." Mac stood up. "Now move your six Commander."
"Yes ma'am."

"Mind if I join you?" Sturgis asked as found them sat outside eating lunch.
"Go ahead Commander." Mac said.
"So Harm, who was the angry looking blonde Captain who left your office earlier?" Sturgis asked.
"Captain Allison Krennick." Harm replied.
"So what did she do to need representation?" Sturgis asked.
"She doesn't need representation, she's a lawyer." Harm replied.
"She's for an Article 32 hearing in front of me." Mac explained.
"So why did she drop by to see Harm?" Sturgis questioned.
"They're old friends sir." Harriet replied.
"Friends might be stretching the word to the limits."
"There is obviously a story here." Sturgis said.
"And I'm sure Harm will tell you all about it, but I need to use the bathroom." Mac said.
"I'll come with you ma'am." Harriet rose too.
"We'll be back, so don't eat our food." Mac warned.
"Wouldn't dare." Harm said.
"So what's the story with Krennick?" Sturgis asked.
"She used to work here thought she was a shoe in for the Admiral's job. But ended up being his aide for a while."
"I don't think that's what Mac was referring to Harm."
"Let's just say she wasn't backwards about coming forward about her intentions." Harm took a sip of his drink.
"You never took her up on her offer?" Sturgis questioned.
"No. The thing you have to get about Krennick is she's not used to people saying no to her. When I did she saw me as a challenge. It used to drive Meg mad."
"So this was pre-Mac?"
"Yes. Although Mac and Harriet find it very funny, even if they are trying to blame it on the hormones."
"Speaking of Mac did you sort out the minivan issue?" Sturgis asked.
"We're getting one, but I'll talk her into waiting for a while. She took the day off yesterday because Abi was teething for the last couple of nights and she was exhausted and nauseous. We talked about it for a while, but she needed to sleep."
"I didn't know she took the day off." Sturgis said.
"I think only the Admiral and Jen did. She wasn't in court so she stayed home. I tried to talk her into taking today off but she insisted on coming in."
"She's a stubborn Marine."
"When have met a Marine who isn't stubborn?" Harm asked.
"True."
