"Mac?" Sturgis questioned causing Harm who was lying on the couch recovering from drinking too much the night before to jump up.
"It's me. Is Harm there?"
"He just fell off the couch." Sturgis said. "I'll get him."
"Thank you."
"Harm, your wife wants to talk to you." Sturgis held out the phone to him.
"Thanks." He snatched the phone from him. "Mac?"
"Hey flyboy do you miss me?"
"Like you wouldn't believe Marine." He replied.
"I'll just leave you too it." Sturgis said.
"Is everything okay? You're not calling to tell me something is wrong are you?"
"No I'm okay. My blood pressure is a little high, but the doctor is keeping an eye on it. The twins are definitely getting more active."
"How is Abi?"
"She misses you. She's not sleeping very well; she can obviously sense something is wrong."
"We're working on it. Gibbs knows who it is and he's trying to track them down."
"I know. Krennick's daughter. What did she write on the wall?"
"It doesn't matter. As soon as Gibbs clears the house Sturgis is going to help me repaint the wall."
"Webb would like to request that you don't harass his secretary anymore, she's threatening to quit."
"You've spoken to him then, every time I've tried to call him he seems to have disappeared off the face of the planet."
"Well right now he's sat on the floor keeping Abi entertained while I'm using his phone to call you."
"Webb disappeared and now he's sat on the floor playing with Abi?" Harm repeated with in disbelief.
"He came to give me an update."
"Where are you?"
"You know I can't tell you that. But we're safe."
"This is turning into a nightmare."
"It will be over soon. By the way do you know what happened with my court martial?"
"The Admiral and Jen managed to broker a deal which they were almost at. It took most of the day. But it's over."
"Good. How is everything else?"
"The Admiral is keeping me off cases that will take me out of town. So I have Jen helping me go through everyday paperwork which was backlogged."
"Sounds like fun."
"Umm. I love you."
"I love you too. Do you want to talk to Abi?"
"Please."
Mac moved so she could hold the phone up to Abi's ear.
"Say hello to Daddy sweetheart." Harm heard Mac say. Abi cooed.
"Hey sweetheart. It's Daddy, I miss you so much and I'll see you really soon." Mac smiled as she watched Abi light up and make undistinguishable sounds.
"Webb, take the phone." Mac said. "I have to pee. Let Abi keep talking to Harm."
"You call that talking?" Webb questioned.
"Until she can make words out of the sounds yes. I'll be right back; don't take your eyes off her."
A few minutes later Abi seemed less interested in talking to Harm.
"Enough talking to your father." Webb said taking the phone. "Rabb." He said into the phone.
"Webb." Harm said. "I've been trying to contact you for the last few days."
"So my secretary mentioned. She wasn't very appreciative of you yelling at her."
"She wasn't being very helpful."
"Harm, she works for the CIA exactly how much do you think she was going to tell you?"
"Where exactly were you anyway?"
"Backtracking Shaw's life, seeing if she popped up anywhere."
"Obviously she didn't."
"No so I thought I'd drop by and make a personal check on Mac and Abigail's well being for you."
"How are they truthfully?"
"They are both fine. Abigail, get back here." Webb dropped the phone and made a grab for Abi who had started to crawl off.
"Webb?" Harm questioned.
"What's going on?" Mac asked picking Abi up.
"Your daughter is trying to make a break for it."
"WEBB???" Harm could be heard yelling from the phone.
"Sorry." He picked up the phone. "Abi decided to crawl away."
"Let me talk to him." Mac said. Webb handed her the phone. "Everything is okay Harm; you know how fast she moves when she wants to."
