AN: Hi everyone! I am so sorry for keeping you waiting. I have been
feeling, and still do, very unmotivated to write. Before Christmas I had
way too mych to do. During my one month long Christmas break, I thought
that I would be able to write, but everything just felt like too much. And
then school started again, and everything just got even more busy than it
was before. Then today, when I was supposed to clean the house, I got the
urge to write again. It is not much, and I do not know when I will update
again, but at least it is something. This time I am not leaving you hanging
like I did last time.
I really want to say thank you to my very good friend, and an amazing writer, Madrynea for beta-reading thic chapter. My spell-check does not work, and I would be completely lost without her. Read her stories. No fanfiction, but she has much other great you like Fantasy, check out her website. http://www.thalanien.de
Once again, I am sorry for the long wait. Enjoy! /Emma

Harm looked up from the folder he was flipping through. He leaned back in his chair and sighed. They had been buried in paper work ever since their return from the Nimitz. Everything had gone crazy after the hostage situation in the courtroom and finally, after much ado, he and Mac could go home. He still had a very strange feeling about the case. Something was not as it was supposed to be His suspicions had only grown after Captain Murphy had been killed.
*Flashback Murphy started moving towards them. Suddenly he stopped. His body tensed, and he fell forward. A knife was sticking out of his back. Harm looked up and found Lt. Johnson standing where Murphy had been. Looking into her eyes, he did not see any fear, and for a moment he thought he saw a glimse of pure pleasure.
*End Flashback*
Now he was stuck here. He was so far behind in everything else, that there just was no time left. He had tried talking to the Admiral about reopening the investigation, but since Murphy had already been convicted, there was no real reason for doing it, and his request had been denied.
Now though, he was seeing an end to the endless pile on his desk, and he was going to do something about it before it was too late.
"Coates, would you come in here, please."
"Yes Sir?"
"I need you to do me a favour. Can you find Lt. Emily Johnson's service records for me? And everything else you can find about her? If she stole a chocolate bar when she was five, I want to know about it."
"Lt. Johnson as in the sexual harrasment case?"
"Yes Coates. That's the one."
"I'll see what I can do, Sir."
"Thank you, Coates."

"I hear you have Coates running your errands." The familiar voice spoke softly from his open door.
"I know something's not right. I just can't put my finger on it." He turned to look at his wife. "I've been looking through her service records for the last hour, and there's just something that's missing. Why does everything have to be so complicated? Why can't the answers just be there, without one having to look for them?"
"Are you sure there is something to find? I mean, she had me convinced from the start, and you know that I don't do people favours just because they are women."
"Everything just seems too convenient. I'm not saying that Murphy is a nice person, but I don't think he did it. The way he spoke in the courtroom... Mac, this guy was framed. I'm sure of it."
"Well then. Let's get to work..."
To be continued...
OK everyone! You know what to do now. I want reviews, and lots of them! Please...
