A/N: This is where my writing skills come to an end. I have never written
any sort of real extensive violence before, so it's probably all wrong.
Please forgive!
Chapter 26
(Mac's POV)
I look up at Harm who seems to want to tell me something important. All of the sudden our door is broken open and four people dressed in black barge in holding guns. Harm draws his own pistol and fires at the nearest bringing him down, but I watch horrified as another aims at Harm and shoots.
Everything seems to be going in slow motion, I jump onto the man, but the gun still fires and the bullet flies towards Harm while he tries to aim for another attacker. Thanks to my jumping him, the bullet doesn't hit Harm fatally. But it still hits him. I watch in horror as he gets hit, the blood spreading quickly on his dress whites.
I try to wrench my eyes off him, but I cannot, he falls to the ground. Just like in my dream, the tears don't stop falling, Harm weakly calls my name.
"Sarah." He whispers.
"HARM!" I scream as everything goes black..
I wake up much later in surroundings I don't recognize, I realize almost immediately that I am bound and gagged, and last images I have of Harm falling down sear through my mind like a hot knife.
I was desperate to get out of here and to rescue him if I could.
One of my captors pulls off his mask and smiles wickedly, I recognize Lt. Com. Wright.
"Nice of you to join us Commander." he says removing my gag "We thought the death of your husband might have traumatized you too much. I am sorry you had to see that. But please understand that he fired first and you two were getting into files and finding out things you shouldn't have."
"Release me Wright and we'll have this out together fair and square." I say desperate to avenge Harm.
"HAH! You're only a woman, and a widow at that. I'll wager my shot still killed him even though you jumped me. If we were to 'have it out' you wouldn't be a widow much longer."
I have attracted the attention of the other men in the party, but I don't care. I have one goal in life, to kill these wicked men slowly and painfully like Harm.
"You're wrong Commander. I'm not just a woman. I'm a United States Marine. My real name is Lieutenant Colonel Sarah MacKenzie from JAG corps. You shot not my husband, but my partner Commander Harmon Rabb Jr. also a JAG. And you know what that means don't you?" I say tauntingly, my fury getting the better of me, "It means the brass knows something fishy is going on down here and murdering me and my partner will not stop them. So, give me a gun and let me show you mercy by blowing your brains out, so you won't get the Death penalty for your crimes." Quick as a flash I broke loose from my restraints that I'd been working on the whole time, and pull one of his underling's guns from the holster and have the gun pointed to his head.
"Move out of here." I demand, "Or he dies!"
Wright starts to struggle in my grasp and I feel myself losing grip. I fire and he falls down at my feet, the other men looking up at me astonished.
Then, out of the shadows comes my worst nightmare, at least thirty more black-covered men, I fire indiscriminately into the group, hoping to kill a few more before they take me down.
After six shots, I'm out of ammo, and I start darting the barrage of bullets aimed at me, and then a intense pain rips through my left leg, and I fall to the ground. Somebody calls ceasefire and they bind me again for another journey into the wilderness. That is when I lose consciousness.
A/N: *Looks at all my angry fans, "Sorry?!" I flash hopeful grin. Notice nothing's changed and run....* Honestly, I like the part where Mac tries to intimidate them. I think it shows how dedicated she is, but also how desperate the situation is.
Angela B.: Well, sorry obviously that didn't happen. He *was* going to say something until they were interrupted. As for the dream, sometimes it's one of them, sometimes it's both of them, it varies. But, it does add to the freakiness of the story.
e-dog: Dream discussed in last review response if you are interested. Sorry, Harm would have told Mac *if* they had not been interrupted. Thanks for your review!!
