A/N: Well, the poll was three to one..Mac will make a scene. Although, I will admit, I was hoping you guys would choose the other option. This is a very angsty chapter, and what I included at the end I wasn't planning on including until later, but somehow it fell into this chapter. Anything in *'s is Mac remembering stuff, okay. I tried to clear up the confusion from the last chapter, and I hope I have succeeded. Thank you for those of you who did review. I would like more reviews though, good or bad. I mean, I get on average four reviews a chapter, do you guys not like my style or something? On average, I get more reviews for my Jeannie stories than I do JAG. This is sad considering JAG is still showing, and Jeannie's only re- runs. Anyway, enough babbling, you've been warned...

Chapter 13

He's coming over here...oh gosh.....NO DAMMIT MACKENZIE!!! YOU WILL NOT FALL FOR HIS DAMN SMILE!!!!!!! He's going to try to apologize... If I allow it.

"I'm sorry Mac, what did I do?" he asks softly, I notice though, that he hasn't sat down, or made a move to. He knows when a certain marine is seriously contemplating killing him...

"What did you do?" I say softly, I laugh bitterly, and repeat, louder with resentment, "WHAT did you do???? I'll tell you what you did, you got up this morning!" As I say every word, his eyes get wider and wider, as if he cannot believe it, and I do not think he is so dumb not to have seen this coming. The only thing that is keeping me from screaming my head off and punching him for all I'm worth is that, however small it may be, I'm acutely aware that if I were to do such things, it would literally blow the lid off our investigation. We are newlyweds, and newlyweds don't fight like cats and dogs. I've already made enough scenes, but I swear if he keeps provoking me like this......I honestly wouldn't want to be him...

"This hardly seems the discussion for a public area," he said so calmly it all but blew me away, "I think we should try to eat our breakfast in peace, and perhaps we can go back to our quarters and discuss this. unless you have objections."

"As a matter of fact, I DO. We have work to accomplish, Harm, every time we try to talk, we just end up fighting, like now. I think we need to get our work done."

"How in God's name do you think we're going to be able to work, if we can't keep from snapping each other's heads off?! I've tried to apologize; I've asked what's wrong-given you a chance to talk in private. And you've shoved it back in my face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've had it MAC!!!!!!!!!!!! HAD IT!!!!!"

"FINE, BE THAT WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU INSENSITIVE JERK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I shout and storm out of the café, tears streaming out of my eyes, I'm running, running again-only God knows where.

0957 ZULU A Bar somewhere in downtown London

I finish my glass of vodka, and turn to the waitress, and ask her for more with my slurred speech. She pours me more, I gulp it down with a hiccup...

*"Besides, we're done with that aren't we?" says Harm

"Are we?" I ask.

"YES!" he shouts angrily.*

With that three letter word Harm told me what I'd always feared hearing..that he and I, were never meant to be..

I take another drink from my glass and laugh hysterically, while remembering..

*"Harmon Rabb Jr., so righteous, so pure.you never had a weak moment in your life did you???"

"I'm going to wait outside."

"Ohhh.wait. I forgot..you're long-lost father..neurotic Annie?"

"You know, you're not just a drunk..you're a mean drunk.'*

I take another gulp...and everything goes black.........

A/N: Hey! Don't say I didn't warn ya!
