A/N 1: This literally just came off of the top of my head. Please, Please, Please, let me know if you like it or want more.
A/N 2: I forgot to put the disclaimer in the first chapter, but you know the drill. I don't own JAG or it's fantastic characters.
Harm's POV

JAG HEADQUARTERS
FALLS CHURCH, VA
I had just returned from my investigation in California, when I got a call from the general to come in to the office. He didn't want to see me; he just said that there was some work that I needed to catch up on that couldn't wait. I got off the elevator and headed to my office. As I was crossing the bullpen, I took a quick look around. Not too many people were there, the general surely wasn't. I looked at Mac's office and was glad to see she wasn't trying to catch up on any work she had missed when she was on leave from her accident. I unlocked my door and walked in. From just glancing around, everything seemed to be in place. But there was a note on my desk. It was a simple envelope with my name written in Mac's handwriting on the front.
Harm, I'm not sure when you'll get this, but I'm going to be leaving for two or three days just to clear my head. I'll call you so you know where I am. Please don't worry about me H. I'll be fine.
Love,
Sarah
I immediately grabbed the files that I needed to work on and ran out of the building. When I got to my car, I got out my cell phone and sped to Mac's place. I was hoping that she hadn't left yet.

MAC'S APARTMENT
GEORGETOWN
I hopped out of my car and got on the elevator to go to Mac's apartment. When I reached her door, there was another envelope with my name on the front in Mac's handwriting. I quickly tore it off, and read it.
Harm, if you're reading this then you need to go back home. I promise you that I'm fine. Just do what I say. I promise you that I'll call you when I get wherever I'm going. Go home and get some rest. I'll talk to you later.
Love,
S
I put the note back in the envelope stuffing it in my pocket. I turned around and headed back to my place. If Mac said that she was okay, I trusted her. At least I didn't have a bad feeling like I did when she went to Paraguay with Webb.
When I got back to my apartment, I opened my door and saw the red light flashing on my answering machine. After pressing the button to play the messages, I went in the kitchen to get a drink of water.
The first message was from Mattie. "Hey Harm, I hope you're doing okay. Give me a call when you get in. I have a paper that I need help with for my english class. I'll talk to you later. I love you. Oh, and tell Mac I said hi, will you?"
The next message was from Mac. "Hey Harm, I guess you're not back from Cali yet. I was calling to talk to you. Don't worry though; I'll call you back later tonight. Love you.
As he was deleting his messages, his phone rang. He ran to get his cordless phone from his bedroom and tripped on the steps. "Shit." He stumbled and finally reached the phone mumbling a "hello".
He put the phone to his ear, only to hear an unsure Sarah MacKenzie on the other end. "Harm? You okay?"
Settling down on his bed he responded, "Yeah, I just tripped on my steps."
"Did you just get back from your investigation?"
"Yeah, it was rather…interesting." He mentally debated with himself to determine whether or not he should tell her about the kiss. It wasn't much, but he thought he'd like to know if some guy just randomly kissed her.
Mac relaxed on her couch and prepared herself for an interesting conversation. "What happened?"
"Well…you see, something happened after it."
"Like what?" She didn't like the sound of that; especially since he was stuttering.
"Well…"
"Spit it out Harm."
He closed his eyes and knew he was going to regret telling her this. "A woman kissed me."
Mac was silent for about what seemed to be an eternity. But her response was definitely not what Harm was expecting.
Sorry to stop there. I'll try to post the next part tomorrow depending on the reviews. Thank you to all of you who have reviewed so far also.
