Clay's office
March 17th, 2003
Webb hurried to get to Harm's apartment. He definitely needed to talk to
Harm. If what he remembered was right the pilot that he had saved had been
Harmon Rabb Jr. himself. That explained why Harm had gotten so pale and
almost everything else.
Webb sighed as he pulled into the parking lot of Harm's apartment building.
He opened his glove box to get the files he had put there. He removed them
but the cloth in the interior of the glove box was slightly shifted. He saw
something with wires sticking out of it. He saw flashing numbers. His CIA
training kicked in, it was a time bomb. Four seconds, he noticed.
He jumped out of the car with the files still tucked under the crook of his
arm. He ran for the closest cover, a large pickup truck. But before he
could reach it the pavement shook under him and he was lifted up off his
feet by a blast of superheated air and was thrown against the very car that
had been his planned cover. His head smashed against the side door and left
a huge dent.
Webb felt the slow trickle of blood down his scalp; he was on the verge of
consciousness. Bud, the Admiral and Harriett had seen the unfolding events
from Bud's car. Harriett immediately called 9-1-1 and Bud and the Admiral
were out the door in a flash. Bud knelt over Webb while AJ checked his
pulse. Mac was at the scene in a matter of seconds, having heard the
explosion from Harm's apartment.
Webb looked terrible, he had a large gash on the back of is head, that no
doubt masked a concussion. His left arm was bent at a weird angle and his
right leg had a piece of Shrapnel stuck in it. The Shrapnel made a
sickening hissing sound. Webb was fighting to keep himself conscious and
said in a voice that was barely above a whisper,
"The... file... it has the reason." Mac looked around for a file and saw it
lying right by her. She picked it up and showed it to Webb, she asked,
"Is this it?"
Webb nodded. His head was swimming. Mac took Webb's head and laid it on her
lap,
"Come on Webb, you can do it." She encouraged,
"Come on, Stay with me."
Webb nodded. He felt horrible. His leg hurt like hell and it was all he
could do not to scream out in agony. He tried to keep from falling into
unconsciousness.
"Hurts." He said woozily.
Mac leaned down so her face was inches from his,
"Never disobey a Jarhead, and I'm telling you to stay conscious. Do you
understand me?"
Webb nodded. His head swan and images twirled before his vision, giving him
nausea. He tried to stay conscious. The Ambulance soon arrived and Bud
accompanied Webb to the hospital.
"Mac, where's Harm?" The Admiral asked suddenly.
Mac could have slapped herself, she had left Harm alone.
AJ understood her reaction and ran towards the entrance to the building.
The elevator took too long so AJ ran up the stairs. Mac followed at his
heels. They reached the floor where Harm's apartment was and were shocked
when they found to door gaping open.
They ran into the apartment and split up, AJ looked in the kitchen and Mac
ran to Harm's bedroom. She saw that he wasn't on his bed so she made her
way to his bathroom. She spied a note on the counter. There was something
scrawled on it, she looked closer. It said crawly handwriting.
To whom it may concern,
This is who you think it is, and you'd better not come looking for
him. I won't repeat my past mistakes, he will pay for the pain he caused to
my family, and I will have my revenge.
KP
That was all it was signed, KP, Kareena Patel.
Mac was dumbfounded, this wasn't happening. If she went looking for Harm,
Kareena would kill him. If she didn't, Kareena would kill him anyway. She
slowly made her way back to the main part of the apartment. She found AJ
clutching his side in agony. She put the note and the file Clay had had
down on a table and ran over to AJ and supported him, she then helped him
towards the couch and helped him lay down on it.
"Are you okay, should I call an ambulance." She asked anxiously.
AJ shook his head, he gasped out,
"I'll be fine."
Harriett finally caught up with Mac and AJ when she saw AJ she immediately
reached into her purse and took out the painkillers that the nurse had
given her. She went to the kitchen and filled a glass with water and she
and Mac helped the Admiral swallow the pills. A little after he took them
he stopped clutching his side, Mac cursed herself for letting him run up
the stairs. A few minutes afterwards he could talk, his first question was,
"Where's Harm?" he was still panting from his ordeal and winced when he
spoke.
Mac walked over to the table where she had put the note and picked it up.
She showed it to AJ and he read what it said.
"The bomb was a diversion masking her real intentions." AJ said, still
wincing.
Mac sat down in a chair and put her face in her hands. AJ, though his side
still hurt almost unbearably got up and held her hand. He ignored the pain
he felt, focusing on Mac,
"He'll be fine." He reassured her.
He looked into her eyes, and in an instant he knew that she wouldn't rest
until she found Harm and made sure he was okay.
