"I talked to Sturgis and Faith today. She's not going to call me or Meg as witnesses against Krennick." Harm told Mac that evening.

"Did she say why not?" Mac inquired as she sat eating a strawberry yoghurt.

"Meg told her something that happened with Krennick when I was held hostage by Chinese before we met. Something that she doesn't want to come out or rather Faith thinks shouldn't come out for your sake."

"You told me nothing ever happened with you and Meg."

"It never did." Harm confirmed.

"And with Krennick it was about her wanting power over you."

"It was."

"So what would have happened that Faith doesn't want to come out?" Mac asked.

"I don't know she won't tell me or Sturgis. She said she's prepared for it if it does come up but she doesn't think Krennick will bring it up because it could be detrimental to her case anyway."

"Intriguing."

"Come here." Harm said. Mac moved towards him and he leant over and kissed her chin.

"What was that for?" Mac asked.

"You had yoghurt on your chin."

"Thanks." She gave him a proper kiss.

"So where were we?" Harm asked.

"You were telling Faith isn't calling you as a witness."

"No. But Krennick's lawyer turned up today."

"Lieutenant Commander McPhalin." Mac supplied.

"How did you know that?" Harm asked.

"He was with Jason when she asked him if he knew where you were when she brought you the list. She says he's pretty cute."

"She's married." Harm pointed out.

"Married not dead." Mac countered.

"He's a friend of Faith's. They went to law school together, she recommended him to the Admiral."

"Krennick needed a lawyer and no-one in the office wanted to do. So why not?" Mac shrugged.

"They seem a little closer than just friends."

"And that's a problem because?"

"I found him hugging her and calling her baby doll. But Faith protests that they were anything more than just friends."

"Harm how long did we spending telling everyone that we were just friends?" Mac asked. "Since we met everyone always questioned how close we were. But we never really stepped over that line until you forgot my birthday."

"But..."

"Let it go. If she says they are just friends then they probably are for now. They're both probably professional enough not to let it get in the way of them doing their jobs."

"Mac..."

"Krennick will get what is coming to her. Trust in the system and trust Faith and Sturgis. If Faith thinks she can do this without bringing you into then let her." Mac continued.

"Okay."

"So how did your first official day of being Captain Rabb go?" Mac inquired.

"It's still going to take some getting used to." Harm replied.

"Well the extra pay will help with the car payment when we get the new one."

"And here I was planning on using it to get Sarah and the corvette both repainted." Harm teased.

"You'd better not be or I'll have to go and buy some new shoes."

There was a wail from upstairs.

"I'll go." Harm said.
