"Lieutenant Sims?" A female voice said.
"Yes." Harriet turned to look at the woman who was stood in front of her.
"I don't know if you remember me ma'am, but I was told to report into you this morning."
"You're Petty Officer Shaw right?" Harriet questioned knowing exactly who she was.
"Yes ma'am." Shaw confirmed.
"Bud." Harriet said to Bud who was passing.
"Yes sweetie?" He said.
"This is Petty Officer Shaw." Harriet introduced him. She saw the look of recognition on his face.
"Petty Officer." Bud said.
"Lieutenant."
"Bud, could you take the Petty Officer into your office for a few minutes, while I finish making a few phone calls. It's quieter and I need to give her the introductory tour as soon as I'm finished." Bud caught on to the real reason Harriet wanted her away from her desk.
"Of course. Petty Officer if you come with me." Bud said leading her away.
"Tiner." Harriet said walking over to his desk.
"Yes ma'am."
"Lieutenant Roberts has Petty Officer Shaw in his office. Can you contact security to come and place her in custody and alert the Admiral while I contact Agent Gibbs?" Harriet asked.
"Yes ma'am." He paused. "She came into work?"
"I guess she doesn't know half the Navy is looking for her." Harriet replied. "Thank you."
Harriet went back to her desk and dialled NCIS.
"Agent Gibbs please." She asked when she was connected. She waited a minute while she was transferred.
"Gibbs."
"This is Lieutenant Sims from JAG HQ."
"What can I do for you Lieutenant?"
"Petty Officer Shaw just reported in for duty. Lieutenant Roberts has her in his office while we wait for security to come and detain her."
"We'll be right there. Keep Rabb away from her."
"Yes sir." Harriet replied.
"You sent for security Lieutenant." Two of the Marine guards appear in front of her desk when she hung up.
"Yes. There is a Petty Officer in Lieutenant Roberts office that needs to be detained until Special Agent Gibbs from NCIS gets here. There is a warrant out for her arrest."
"Yes ma'am." They turned and headed towards Bud's office.
"Harriet have you seen..." Harm asked coming out of his office reading a file.
"Captain, the Admiral wants to see you I believe." Harriet said saying the first thing that came into her head.
"Did he say what about?" Harm asked.
"No sir."
"I'll be back shortly." Harm took the file with him and headed to Tiner's desk. "Harriet said the Admiral wanted to see me."
Harriet appeared just outside with a clipboard with a piece of paper on which she had written.
'NCIS on way. Want him kept away from Shaw.' Tiner read it.
"Yes sir. Let me just let him know you are here." He picked up the intercom phone and buzzed the Admiral's office. "Admiral, Lieutenant Sims informed Captain Rabb you wanted to see him... Yes sir it's being taken care of.... Aye aye sir." He hung up. "He says to go right in."
"Thank you Tiner." Harm said before turning and knocking on the Admiral's office door.
"So you served sea duty?" Bud questioned.
"Yes sir." Shaw replied.
"And now you've transferred to JAG."
"Yes sir."
"I see." There was a knock on the door. "Enter."
"Lieutenant." The two Sgts said.
"Petty Officer this is Sgt Green and Sgt Morterson."
"Sirs." Shaw said.
"Petty Officer we need you to come with us." Sgt Green said.
"What for sir?"
"There is a warrant out for your arrest. We need to detain you until NCIS get here to take you into custody."
"For what?" Shaw asked.
"Threatening the life of a Military judge for one." Bud replied. "Take her to a holding cell Sgts."
"I want a lawyer." Shaw said.
"When Special Agents Gibbs advises you of your Article 31 rights you can request a lawyer. I'm sure Captain Krennick will be concerned." Bud replied.
There was a flash of recognition from Shaw, while the Sgts each took an arm and escorted her out.
