Mac sat on the floor playing with Abi when the doorbell rang. She scooped her up and placed her in the travel playpen that Webb had provided so she couldn't escape. The only people she had got to know was Linda next door and a few people at the corpsmen's office.

Pushing her sleeves up her arms she made her way to open the door. When she opened it and saw who it was there she burst out laughing.

"Captain." She managed. Abi let out a wail. "Come in and close the door behind you."

"So how are you doing Mac?" The man asked.

"It's okay sweetheart." Mac plucked Abi out the playpen. "Webb's one of the good guys."

"You didn't answer my question."

"My blood pressure is a little high but other than that I'm holding up. Abi is missing Harm though; she used to sleep all through the night. But now she wakes up a couple of times."

"I'm sorry." Webb apologised.

"But if you're here to tell me I can go home, you'll make my day."

"Sorry, you'll have to wait a few more days. We know who is behind the threats; NCIS are having a little trouble locating her."

"Her? I'm guessing it's not Krennick."

"Krennick's involvement is still yet to be determined." Webb replied.

"So who is it?"

"Petty Officer Third Class Rebecca Shaw." Webb answered.

"Never heard of her. Why would she be threatening me?"

"It turns out that she is Krennick's daughter."

"Krennick has a daughter?" Mac questioned slightly stunned by the revelation.

"Krennick gave her up for adoption when she was born. They reconnected a few years ago and now Shaw was supposed to be transferred to JAG HQ in some office clerk capacity."

"Good timing or in my case bad timing." Mac replied then paused. "I'm sorry did you want something to drink while you tell me you're here?"

"I'm fine. I'm here because your husband has been yelling at my secretary for the last few days."

"Why didn't you just talk to him?" Mac asked.

"Because I've been backtracking Shaw's recent expenses and locations." Webb replied. "I've been out of contact with anyone other than you."

"That doesn't explain why you're here and dressed in an Army Captain's uniform."

"The quickest way to get to the base was on an Army helo that was headed this way. I couldn't get on as civilian so I made a few calls and became an honorary Army Captain for a few hours."

"Impersonating a Military officer is a serious crime." Mac pointed out.

"Not when you have direct permission from the Chief of Staff of the Army. He owes me a favour."

"Well maybe someone should have pointed out some of your ribbons are on upside down and you can take the cover off now you're inside." Mac pointed out.

"It's only for a few hours. You can straighten them out before I leave."

"That didn't explain why you are here."

"I thought you'd like an update in person." Webb stalled.

"And?" Mac prompted.

"And while I'm here perhaps you could make use of this." He held out a phone to her.

"You gave me a secure satellite phone." Mac replied.

"With the only number you can call being me." Webb explained. "I thought perhaps you'd like to call Harm."

"Really?" Mac questioned.

"It may save everyone a lot of stress and stop my secretary from going through with her threat to quit if you talk to him and assure him that you are okay."

"Abi go to Uncle Clay while Mommy calls Daddy." Mac handed Abi over to Webb.

"Wouldn't see be better off in her playpen?" Webb questioned.

"She's in a strange place with people she doesn't know, her schedule has been thrown completely into disarray so she likes to be held at the moment."

"Okay." Webb said.

"Sit her on the floor and play with her if you don't want to hold her. Just don't build towers with the blocks she doesn't like them so she knocks them down and throws the remains." Mac warned.

"He'll be at Turner's apartment." Webb advised.

"Why would he be at Sturgis's apartment?" Mac questioned.

"There was another incident at your house. Gibbs team is on it but Harm went to stay with Turner."

"What kind of incident?"

"Shaw broke in a left a message."

"Did she take anything?"

"No. Just wrote something on the wall. It's nothing for you to worry about its all being taken care of. Just give Harm a call."

Mac eyed him for a minute, before dialling the number for Sturgis's apartment.

"Turner." Sturgis answered.

"Sturgis is my husband there?" Mac asked.
