Mac's Apartment

The evening seemed to be going very well, they had told stories to each other and laughed all the way through, but they hadn't discussed the case, which Mac thought was the purpose of Harm's visit. But right now she didn't care, she was having such a great time she didn't mind at all. Her thought seemed to linger to long because Harm was asking if she was alright. "Yeah, I'm fine, just went to another world for a moment." she answered. When she looked up she saw Harm cleaning up the table and setting everything inside the sink. She got up to help, but he told her that he could handle it, to go watch some TV. until he was done. She didn't argue and went to the living room.

"Hey, stranger." Harm said a couple of minutes later.

"Hey." Mac answered.

"What are you watching?" he asked.

"The news."

"Don't you get enough of that at work!? I thought you would watch a chick flick or something." he said with laughter obviously in his tone.

Mac didn't answer, she, again, had gone into a deep thought about Brumby. Should she have married Brumby? Should she leave him now that she didn't love him?, It was obvious she couldn't try to kid herself, she didn't and would never love Brumby. Concern was now rising within Harm. This was the third time today Mac was lost in a thought, something had to wrong.

"Mac what's wrong? And don't tell me nothing because I know you better than that."

"Nothing very important, believe me."

"I don't, and plus anything that has to do with you is important." he stated.

She looked up at him and that's when he saw a tear drop down her cheek. "Thank you" she said.

Immediately Harm was by her side. "Mac what's wrong? Please tell me." Instead of answering she just leaned against him and started to cry. At first Harm was surprised by Mac's actions but before he could think of anything else he was comforting her. As he rubbed his hand back and forth across her back he told her that it was ok and that she could tell him anything. Mac was comforted by his words and decided to tell him what was on her mind.

"Harm, the thing is.....I have problems with....."

She didn't get to complete her statement when Brumby walked in through the door. He was as surprised to see them and they were to see him.

"What are you doing here?" Brumby asked looking at Harm.

"Oh, we were just working on a case."

"And for that you have to make Mac cry and them comfort her." Brumby said, jealousy increasing.

"He didn't make me cry, Mic. And what are you doing here anyways?"

"The case was closed earlier than anticipated and I thought I would surprise you, but I guess you surprised me." At this point his jealousy had increased to anger and at all times he was looking from Mac to Harm.

"I should get going. We'll work on the case tomorrow." Harm said.

"Ok. Bye Harm. Thank you again."

"No problem. Bye. Good to see you Brumby."

Brumby didn't even answer him.

Harm hadn't finished going down the stairs when Brumby began yelling at Mac.
