Chapter 6 Bathroom Talks and Missing Disk
Friday Morning
Harm's Bathroom
9:50am
Recap: By now Harm had gotten up and had the same thought she did about taking a shower. He sleepily grabbed clothes out of his room, took off his shirt, and walked to the bathroom.
Mac was just finished rapping the towel around herself when they door was opened.
"Harm!" She gasped clutching the towel tightly around herself.
"Mac!?!" He said equally surprised jumping back startled. Suddenly all the memories of yesterday came flooding back. They continued to stair at each other for a few seconds when Harm looked down.
"Uh...sorry," Mac. "I didn't see anything."
"I didn't give you anything to see," she said a little self conscious, after all she was just in a towel.
"Right," Harm said. "I'll just be outside the door."
10 minutes went by and Harm wall still waiting for Mac to be done in the bathroom. He decided to knock on the door to see what was taking her so long; after all he really wanted that shower. Mac stuck her head out the door; she was still clothed in a towel.
"What's taking you so long?" He asked sounding more annoyed than he wanted to.
"I haven't been in here really long," she said.
"Well I really want to take a shower," Harm complained.
"You're just going to have to wait," Mac replied getting a sassy look in her eyes. She then shut the door in his face leaving him standing there speechless.
5 minutes more went by and Harm was getting irritated. He knocked on the door again. Again Mac stuck her head out. This time Harm stuck his arm in the door and pried it open.
"Harm wha- Mac started to say as he squeezed by her in the very tiny bathroom.
"Look," He said standing directly in front of her. The room was barley big enough for the two of them who now stood less then one inch apart. "I don't see why we both can't share the bathroom. Do you have a problem with that?" He asked daring her to say something.
"I don't have a problem with that," she gulped, not wanting to argue with him.
Mac turned back to the mirror while Harm set his clothes down. He started undressing when Mac saw a spider that just happened to be hanging over her head. Mac shrieked, backed into Harm and they fell to the ground.
AN: Don't you hate it when spiders scare you like that?
"Oh my g-, Harm did you see that?"
"The only thing I can see is your hand on my face."
"Sorry," she said pulling her hand off of his face.
She was lying on top of him on the small yet romantic bathroom floor.
"What was it?" He asked.
"It was a spider," she said shaking a little.
Mac looked around afraid that the spider would some how get her. Harm rubbed Mac's shoulders comforting her. She relaxed and laid her head on his shoulder.
"It's probably gone," He said calming her fears. "We probably squished it with our fall," he joked, then received a swat from Mac on the arm.
He started to rub her back them moved his hands down her side.
She jumped saying, "Harm that tickles."
"My bad," Harm said mischievously, but didn't stop until he had Mac pleading with laughter. "Ok....ok! Harm, please stop."
Harm released her and she got up and adjusted her towel. "Thank you," she said starting the hair dryer.
Harm got up also and finished undressing in the shower and turned on the warm water. While he showered they talked of their plans for the day.
"So did you plan on checking Athena's house this morning?" He asked lathering shampoo in his hair.
"Yeah, but I thought that I should also go to the police station and have a chat with Officer Michael or Jeffery. I remembered something last night. I remembered writing down the license plate number of the black van that was parked in front of my apartment. I don't know, but maybe that could help them."
"Why did you with hold the name Athena gave you? Why didn't you tell them she said, "Striker?" Harm asked turning off the shower.
"I would have told them if they had let me help with the investigation. I knew Athena better than any of them and I was there when she was shot. I could have helped."
"Can you hand me that towel, Mac?" Harm asked.
She tossed him the towel and then he got out.
Mean while at the police headquarters
Officer Michael walked into headquarters with three cups of coffee in a bag.
"Hey, Stacy," he said setting the coffee down in front of her.
"Hi, Michael," she said tearing her eyes away from her lab top to smile up at him. "Need help with something?" She asked as he looked over her shoulder.
"Just wondering if you got to analyze the disk I gave you yet."
"What disk?" She asked.
"I left you a disk in your box yesterday. You had already had gone home but I left a note for you."
"Mathews checked my box for me this morning. This is all he gave me," she said, indicating the stack of files on her desk. "There wasn't a disk."
"There wasn't a disk?" He asked with a frown growing on his face.
"No," she said.
"That's weird," he said walking off.
"Mathews," Michael said jogging over to his desk.
"Did you give Stacy the stuff from her box this morning?"
"Yeah, why."
"I left a computer disk for her inside her box, but she said she never got it. Did you happen to see a disk in her box?"
"I pulled out everything in her box. I don't remember a disk."
"Thanks anyways," Michael said starting to panic inside.
He spotted Jeffery over typing at his desk and walked over.
"Good morning, Mike."
"I need to talk with you," Michael said. "I'm in serious trouble."
Jeffery looked up at him confused.
"The disk is gone," he said pacing in front of Jeffery's desk.
"The disk from Ms. Colonel Mackenzie? He asked.
"Yes it's gone. I left it in Stacy's box but she never got it!"
"Hold on a second. You're joking right," Jeffery said. "This disk could have been the only lead we had in months."
"Does this look like the face of someone who is joking???? Michael said.
"Disks can't just walk away. It must be around here somewhere."
"But what if someone took it? I told Chief Fredrick that we had gotten a disk that could help us in our search for the Black Fang Organization. Am I supposed to tell him that it disappeared?"
Dun dun dunnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!
