Admiral's Office

"Well I think that about covers it, AJ would you kindly follow me out I have a matter to discuss with you." The SECNAV stood as did Mac who had changed positions, as the Admiral had suggested, but was disappointed that she had actually done it. Harm on the other hand was happy about it. One because he got to have Mac really close to him, two because it was pissing the Admiral off, but his legs had fallen asleep. He got up slowly and stretched a little. He and Mac began to leave when the Admiral cleared his throat,

"Um could we discuss it here?"

"No, I'm already late for an appointment, Commander, Colonel, thank you for listening and the umm informalities that occurred today are to be kept private understood and if you don't mind me asking is there going to be a wedding invite in my mailbox soon?" Mac was the first to say something.

"Well sir we haven't really had time to discuss a date but we are getting there, we've only been engaged a couple of days."

"Hmm with the fraternization trouble you two have caused I would have thought it was longer, well I will be looking forward to it. You coming AJ?"

"Yes sir… just a mome…" The Admiral was halfway up when there was a loud, Riiiip! Harm and Mac whipped around to see an extremely pissed off Admiral.

"That… is absolutely… IT! COATES!" Coates skidded into the room juggling some files and snapped.

"What is it now sir?"

"Coates did I hear an attitude in your tone?"

"No sir!"

"Good now look at this!" The Admiral turned around and Harm and Mac couldn't resist a chuckle. The SECNAV even smiled.

"Oh my!" Jen gasped, as her eyes widened and she dropped the files, which hit the floor with a light slap. Where the back of the Admiral's trousers should have been there was a large place torn out which was glued to the chair and his unmentionables were viewable.

"I apologize for this once more I think that the Commander and Colonel can escort you out if you don't mind sir."

"I do mind and I still need you to escort me out and if I can say this I order that you do so!" The SECNAV turned to Harm and Mac and gave them a discreet wink and they gulped.

He knows! Harm and Mac thought in unison.

"Very well Mr. Secretary let's be on our way you can't be late." The Admiral said confidently and the two strode out of the office. When they were gone Jen closed the door and she looked very annoyed with a shaking finger at the two of them.

"Permission to speak freely?" She managed through gritted teeth.

"Of course." Mac nodded, and Jen broke in on them.

"YOU TWO DID THIS DIDN'T YOU?" Her fists were clenched in rage and she was shaking in anger. Harm and Mac took a few steps back and ran into the wall, Coates continues to yell.

"I can't believe it the two most highly ranked officers here next to the Admiral and I thought just as mature! He might have embarrassed you in front of the WHOLE office, you didn't have to rip away his dignity, excuse the pun and in front of the SECNAV!!"

"We didn't know he was coming." Mac whimpered weakly. Mac didn't like being yelled at and she shouldn't have to take this crap from Coates, but she was afraid that if she didn't the poor girl would kill herself.

"Furthermore I have been running around all day for him to the cleaners, to his house, to the Pentagon to get all of the paperwork he needs to fill out and now I'm going to either have to go to the tailors and try and have those pants repaired or go the nearest PX to see if I can find something suitable for him to finish out the day in!" Jen stopped and was panting now and was on the verge of tears and then she bent down to pick up the files and she looked up at them and questioned,

"Why did it have to be his pants?"

"Umm random guess." Harm stammered. Even though she was half his age he was a little frightened he didn't want to set her off again. Jen just picked up the last file and stormed out. Harm turned to Mac.

"I think that is the last yeoman I will ever get angry. To think I still have to confront her at Mattie's tonight." Mac looked sympathetic.

"You know I'm starting to fell a tiny bit guilty, but the jelly doughnut was her fault, even though it was hilarious and ya know I never thought of the Admiral as a plaid wearer." Harm laughed a little and then looked at Mac.

"Ya know Mac we are alone…"

"I don't think so Commander." Mac gave him a kiss on the cheek and then went on her way. Harm followed her down to the basement where they both began to work to make up for the two or so hours they had missed.

Basement File Room

"You two are still here?" Harriet asked when she entered the file room. Harm and Mac didn't answer for a minute then Mac looked up.

"Oh hi Harriet. Aren't you going to go home soon?"
"Yes I just needed one service record for Commander Turner for tomorrow."

"Which one?" Harm asked as he set down a teetering pile of files.

"Umm a Lt. Rovic? First name Peter."

"Oh it's right over here." Mac stood and went to a far back pile and then pulled one out and handed it to her.

"That should be it."

"Yep everything is here. Thanks a bunch, sir, ma'am don't stay too late."

"Don't worry Harriet we won't." Harm assured her.

"Oh and one other thing sir."

"Yes?"

"Please don't pull anymore pranks." Harm looked surprised, Mac however didn't.

"How did you?"

"Sir I know everything that goes on in this office right down to what amount of sugar the Colonel puts in her tea, two and a half cubes or exactly half a tablespoon and a pinch using her thumb and little finger. I also happen to know that you ironed the Colonel's uniform this morning. Which suggests that she spent the night with you and the fact that she smells just like your cologne." Now Mac was intrigued.

"Oh and how do you know?" Harm challenged

"Because the crease on her skirt is a tad off center and I received a call from Mattie this morning that informed me of a little kitchen accident at your apartment this morning." Mac glared at Harriet.

"It think lieutenant you just crossed the line a little, but will I say that you have a wonderful gossiping skill and you will be the first I come to for any dirt, by the way why isn't there a camera in the Admiral's office?"

"Oh there is ma'am. It's right on the ledge of the window it's the tiniest thing, but that statue in front of it causes the sight to be very limited, but I did get a tape of him dancing to Frank Sinatra in his office one afternoon…oops!" Harriet slapped a hand over her mouth.

"Well I've got to go, goodnight." Harriet rushed off and Harm and Mac looked at each other, then in unison,

"We have to get that tape!!"


Hate to leave you hanging from a cliff, but the sooner I get the review the more story I will post for you.
