"So what did you want see me for sir?" Harm asked. The Admiral had told him to sit and then had continued to read a file he had opened on his desk.
"Just wait Captain." AJ said.
The intercom his phone buzzed. AJ picked up the phone.
"Yes Tiner.... Good.... And the reason behind our last conversation...... I see. Very well." AJ hung up the phone.
"Sir?" Harm questioned.
"The reason you are here is so I can inform you that Petty Officer Shaw has been held pending Agent Gibbs coming to arrest her."
"Where was she found sir?"
"She came to report in." AJ replied.
"She's here in the building?"
"As I said she is in a holding cell until Gibbs gets here."
"I'm here because..."
"Gibbs doesn't want you to have contact with her."
"So Harriet lied to me." Harm said.
"I doubt she flat out lied Harm."
"No she said she thought you wanted to see me."
"There you go. Working with lawyers everyday you learn how to say something without saying it exactly."
"So what now?" Harm asked.
"Don't go near Shaw, I'll have Gibbs apprise you as soon as he knows anything. Go back to work."
"But..."
"That's an order. Dismissed."
"Aye aye sir." Harm snapped to attention before turning to leave.
"Harriet." Harm said as he walked up to her desk.
"Sir, I want to apologise for..."
"It's okay Harriet I know why you did it. You did your job." He paused. "Do you want a drink?"
"Ice tea sir." Harriet replied. "I'm sorry."
"I'll be right back." Harm said before walking off in the direction of the break room.
"Ma'am?" Jen asked walking over to Harriet's desk.
"Security have Petty Officer Shaw until Gibbs gets here."
"So this is over?" Jen asked.
"Hopefully Jennifer, hopefully."
"So the Colonel will be back soon?"
"Probably in a few days. They'll want to make sure that there isn't anyone else involved before they let her come back for both her and Abi's protection." Harriet replied.
"How's the Captain doing?"
"I lied to him and told the Admiral wanted to see him while Shaw was being detained. Agent Gibbs doesn't want them to have contact." Harriet explained.
"I guess I can understand that."
"Me too."
"Now he's gone to get me a drink."
"So we need to keep an eye on him for the next few days?" Jen questioned.
"Until the Colonel gets back yes." Harriet replied.
"Yes ma'am." Jen said.
"By the way why was he coming to see me earlier do you know?"
"He needed some forms, I offered to get them but he said he needed the exercise. I'll get them."
"Thank you Jen."
