A/N: Hey! I'm back. I keep on getting these F'in viruses. I'll put this chapter up as a double chapter because the first installment is so short. And also because I don't know when I'll get my next chapter up.
Kareena was watching outside of Harm's apartment building when finally someone came out without someone else to escort them. First that pesky CIA operative that claimed to be the undersecretary of state, and a Lieutenant, then a woman Ensign who was escorted by the man that was walking towards his car now. When she saw his rank her heart leapt. An Admiral. Perfect.
She leveled her pistol that was outfitted with a silencer and took aim through her window. She shot but was startled by a loud ricochet. It took her a second to realize her silencer had malfunctioned. She quickly analyzed the situation and selected the best course of action. She looked at the driver and said,
"Step on it."
Her car went zooming down the road.

Harm sat straight up in bed, 'was that a gun' he asked himself.
Mac came running in with her gun raised. She looked at Harm he was fine. The same thought crossed their minds at the same time,
"The Admiral," they both exclaimed.
"Stay here Harm," Mac said.
She ran out of the Room, leaving Harm feeling utterly useless.
Mac took the stairs two at a time. She vaulted the railing that was on the stairs to the entrance and rushed to where AJ's car was. He was against the side of it clutching his side.
Mac saw a man coming out the door of the building and yelled,
"Call 9-1-1"
He immediately took out his cell phone. Mac turned her attention back to the Admiral.
"Are you okay?" she asked.
He looked at her; his face was contorted with pain. He was on the edge of consciousness,
"What does it look like?" he managed to gasp.
White hot pain seared through his side and he gasped and fell forward.
Mac caught him and eased him onto the pavement. She could see that he was loosing consciousness. She pressed her hand to his wound and applied pressure; it slowed the bleeding until the ambulance arrived. She walked to the ambulance with AJ and left him with the personnel. Then she headed back up the stairs.
She looked at her hands and her shirt; both were stained with the Admiral's blood.
Now that Kareena girl had hurt the two most important people in her life, she would not let that go unanswered.
When she got to his room, Harm was sitting up in bed.
"Mac?" he asked uncertainly.
Mac walked next to him and sat down on the chair she was on the night before.
"Yeah," She answered
Harm noticed that her voice was strained.
"What happened? Because I just got done explaining to myself that some kid's bottle rocket blew up the wrong way and that the sirens were there because they needed to make sure the kid was alright." He asked.
Mac almost smiled and said,
"No such luck commander. The Admiral was shot, he should be okay." Harm cried out in frustration.
"I hate this. I mean not being able to see. It's just so infuriating."
Mac put her hand on his shoulder, he relaxed slightly from her touch.
"The Admiral, and you, are going to be fine. it'll just take some time." She said reassuringly.
Harm nodded, he loved the smell of Mac's perfume. Mac shifted so that she was sitting on the edge of Harm's bed and lay down next to him. He instinctively wrapped his arms around her and waited for her to retaliate. Mac felt his arms tighten around her, she knew she should shift away, but she loved being in Harm's strong arms. To Harm's surprise, as well as her own, she turned in his arms and held him as well.
Harm didn't know how to interpret this and started to ask,
"Mac."
Mac groaned and said,
"If you don't shut up and kiss me, squid, I'll kick your six to the moon."
Harm gladly complied and brushed his lips against hers, waiting for her reaction. She immediately deepened the kiss and when they surfaced, both were breathless.
Mac looked at Harm, despite the bandage over his eyes, he looked drop dead gorgeous. She knew what the consequences of a relationship with him were, but knew that the pros far outweighed the cons. Then she realized that he probably thought she kissed him because she felt sorry for him. Sure enough he started too say,
"Mac." She sighed.
"Yes."
He asked.
"Do you love me?. I mean, because I've loved you for the longest time."
Sarah was startled by this revelation,
"I do love you Harm, and no doubt longer than you have loved me. I just never thought you would feel the same way."
Harm still wasn't convinced.
"You're not saying this because I can't see, right?"
"No, Harm, I just guess it took something as dire as this for me to get the guts to tell you how I felt."
Harm nodded and Mac leaned in to kiss him again.
