A/N: Well, I will say one thing, the shooter is not revealed in this
chapter. I've already decided who's guilty, but out of curiosity, who do
you think is the killer(s) after you read this chapter?
Chapter 17
(Harm's POV)
What the hell is going on?! Why did someone shoot at Mac? "Are you alright Mac?" I asked worried.
"Yeah, but whoever was shooting at us couldn't have chosen a better time to shoot. He almost got me!" She rummaged around, "the bullet hit the seat opposite me, and I can't get it out."
"Don't worry about it Mac, we're going back to the Base before they try to shoot again. They can search the car later to turn up whatever they can. Put on your belt."
She did, and I hit the gas pedal, we drove as quickly as we could getting back to the base without exceeding the speed limit.
I showed my badge to the marines at the gate, and explained what happened. They had us get out, and asked us exactly what happened, an investigator was on the scene soon, followed by the Captain, and a jag. When the jag saw us he nearly did a double take. The Captain introduced us "Commander Harmon Burnett, and his wife Commander Sarah Burnett, this is Lieutenant Paul Jeffers."
I asked the young lieutenant what was wrong. He replied,
"I'm sure it's nothing sir, you just look like a famous pair of JAG officers, you know how people look alike."
Sheesh, THAT was close, too close for comfort. I noticed during the briefing the lieutenant looked strangely at us every now and then. He was obviously not convinced. We finished the briefing about an hour after lunch, and Mac was beginning to complain she wanted some. So the Captain invited us to join him for lunch in his office, he said we had a lot to discuss.

"Frankly Commanders, the occurrences of today have boggled me. I don't mean to be insensitive, but I'm going to start at the beginning, if I'm wrong, please correct me.
"It started out yesterday actually, when you two tried to break up a brawl between to enlisted men, and Commander Harm was punched in the jaw.
"Next, this morning I understand the two of you had a good shouting match in the mess hall. After which Commander Mac ran out, and seems to have left the base.
"Then, Commander Harm follows you out a few minutes later, you two are gone for a few hours, and then you come back with a report of attempted murder.
"This whole story is rather confusing, and might I say suspicious. The two of you are creating a serious disruption on this base. I like to give my people the benefit of the doubt, but another incident like this.. and you're both in serious trouble. I don't want anymore fights, and I would rather you not leave the base either. This is your last chance. No more mistakes. UNDERSTOOD?!"
"Sir, Yes Sir!!!" we respond.
"Fine then, anything to say?"
"It won't happen again sir!"
"It better not, dismissed."
We leave his office, sufficiently warned.
A/N: No, they will not get in trouble with the Captain again, I promise. I'm not the type of person who kicks one of them out of the military, or transfers etc. In fact, I boycotted the recent episodes of JAG where Harm wasn't in the Navy. Except 'Back in the Saddle' because that's where Harm ends up getting re-accepted. I actually liked that one too. I think Mattie and Chloe would be great friends,(I may write a story about that.) So, tell me who you think the culprit(s) is/are.
Thanks for reviewing those who did!!!!!
