„Okay Webb, what do you want?"

„Nice to see you too Mac". She was mad now.

„Oh, get it over with and let me work". By now she noticed another man in the room. She studied him for a while.

„This is agent Lewis", they shook hands and then all of them sat down.

„He is one of yours?" Mac asked about the agent.

„No, I´m from FBI". Surprise evident in Mac´s face.

„FBI? What is the FBI doing here, cooperating with CIA and the local police?" she wondered.

It was Webb who spoke.

„We´re all here because of the murder you saw last night. We think that you saw this man, Marco Lopez", he handed her the photo.

„This guy is an suspected assassin. He usually works for a man named Rodruguez and this one is very dangerous. CIA has been after him for years, but we can´t prove anything. Your testimony will put them both into prison. We need you Mac". She started to get nervous. She didn´t like any of this.

She was used to Clay's usual shocking revelations, but somehow she knew they were asking for much more than just her testimony.

„Okay, and what exactly do you want me to do?"

„Witness protection". Mac was shocked.

„We want you to be safe".

„I know we are asking you to give up your life, but it´s the only way. You can take some time if you want".

So many thoughts were flying through her head. Her screwed up relationship with Harm, her life in general, her job. The government was offering her a new life, a fresh start. She could move on.

„No, no it´s okay. I´ll do it". Webb was shocked, the other men in the room just confused, curious and surprised.

„Are you sure?"

„Yeah" that didn´t sound much persuasively. „And how am I supposed to dissapear?"

„Easilly, we transfer you to London".

„I would go to London?" Mac asked

„No, but everyone would think you did".

„You can´t stay in contact with anyone".

„When?"

„Well, we thought it over. You´ll take two weeks leave and in the meantime the transfering papers would get in. The Admiral won´t have a chance to do anything about it. He will have to let you go. So would everyone else".

„Oh, okay. Where am I really going?"

„That´s need to know and you don´t rigt now". Mac glared at Webb who quickly stood up and left. The othes followed him and walked away with a short goodbye.

Harm´s POV

She was gone. Gone for three weeks now. I´m counting every minute and hoping she will walk through that damn doors I keep staring at, with a smile on her face, telling me it is just a dream, that she would never leave me.

She got transfered to London. I know it since Monday. Everyone was shocked and I think the Admiral didn´t knew about it too. How could she do this to me?

Every damn morning I look at her closed office, every day I expect her to be in the breakroom, making this really bad coffee. God she was so beautiful. How can I live without her…

The day Mac left was the day when my life changed forever. I´m working just like I should, but I plow through my work mechanically, locking myself in my office and ignoring everyone. Admiral Chegwidden knocked once to check on me, but I assured him I was okay and he left me alone. It is always long after everyone else had gone home that I finally turn off the computer and call it a day.

SOMEWHERE NEAR SAN JOSE, CA (two years later)

Mac´s POV

I always wanted to live near the ocean, on the beach. Right now I´m looking straight into this big amazing sea. Blue and white, sometimes calm, sometimes stormy and rough. Just like me.

Sometimes when I´m alone I keep looking, watching the waves, trying to hear what the ocean has to say, remembering my past, think back how my life always seemed to take sudden turns, like I´m spinnig a little bit too fast, too soon.

I´m thinking about him. What is he doing now, if he is happy. Everytime I wake up in the morning, everytime I´m going to my bed or when I look at the sky I always see him soar above the sky in his bi-plane, in Sarah. And every morning I briefly wonder what would happen if I ever returned to JAG. Then I would force myself to forget about it and start the day Harm-free. Oh how I miss him.

„Mommy?" I turn around and I see my little girl walking, okay trying to walk towards me.

„Honey, what are you doing up at this hour?" I take her in my arms, I´m clinging to her.

„can´t sleep". She is so small, so fragile. I have to figure out how can she get out of her crib, it´s unbelievable.

„Oh, I can help you with that. Do you want me to read you a story?"

„Yeah, please". I take her to her bed and watch her lie down with her beloved toy. I start reading something about a lamb, but she is asleep in a few minutes. She is just over a year old but you can already see that she looks just like him. Her piercing blue eyes, dark brown hair, they are a little bit curly, her smile. I love her.

The telephone rang a few minutes later. It was my neighbor Carol.

"Hi, Carol, what's up?" I answered cheerfully.

"Hi Liz, I just wanted to see if you and Jasmine are still coming over for lunch tommorow. I really want to try this new recipe!"

Her enthusiasm was contagious. A bubbly blonde in her early 30's, Carol Swensen had a warmth that could make the sun shine brighter on the coldest day. She was one of few close friends I had made over the previous two years. She helped me get through my pregnancy. Without her, I'm not sure I could have survived this long.

"Of course we'll be there!" I exclaimed, smiling.

"Good. I need someone to test it and you're the only one I trust!"

I laughed

"We'll see you tommorow!"

I hung up the phone and looked at Jasmine. She was sleeping peacefuly so I decided I´d go to bed early too.

What I didn´t know was that my life takes another twist the next day.
