Chapter 27
(Harm's POV)
I remember calling "Sarah" before I blacked out. Now I wake up with a terrible pain in my side, and she's gone. So is the man I shot. I look down at my side, it doesn't look pretty at all.
My survival training kicks in and I take off my jacket and rip a piece off to use as a bandage. With great difficulty I manage to get off the floor. I slowly get into the bathroom and strip off my shirt to do what I can to stop the flow.
I find some gauze and other medical supplies in the cabinet. I wrap up the wound. Suddenly it dawns on me. Mac's gone. Who knows what they've done with her, or are going to do with her. I change into another uniform. I've got to find the Captain and tell him what's happened.
Twenty minutes later...
I have just finished explaining the abduction, except my getting shot to the Captain. He called a SEAL unit into action, and I demand to go with them.
"Honestly Commander you aren't trained like they are, they know how to deal with this situation you don't."
"Sir, I think it's time I was frank with you. I'm not Commander Harmon Burnett a computer technician; I'm Commander Harmon Rabb Jr. from the JAG corps. My CO is Admiral Chegwidden. And that's not my wife out there, that's Lieutenant Colonel Sarah MacKenzie, my partner from JAG. We came to investigate the murders of the female Naval officers. And honestly sir, I can say that if I don't get out there with the SEAL team you won't hear the end of it from my boss. And I will get out there without your permission if need be."
The Captain's expression is shock and then understanding. "You two seemed a little strange in the beginning, and now come to think of it I've seen pictures of you. And I hear the stories Admiral Chegwidden tells of you two. It all makes sense now. I'll let you go with the team on one condition."
"What's that?" I ask eagerly.
"Well two actually, first you take orders from the team's CO. Second, tell me why this Colonel means so much to you."
"I'll take his orders sir. You needn't worry about that. Why does Mac mean so much to me sir? She's my friend sir."
"No, your partnership has always been bordering the edge according to Chegwidden. Don't deny it Harm, you love her, and I'll wager she loves you."
I nod slowly, "If only I'd told her earlier..."
"Commander good luck." He says as the SEAL team enters for instructions.
A/N: Just to clarify, Harm is running on Adrenaline. This is a special function the body has which enables it to do superhuman or nigh impossible things when their life is in danger. (Or in Harm's case Mac's life.) That is why he's still able to operate so well despite his wound. (Which will come back to haunt him later.)
The idea of Harm revealing himself for who he is gets him with the SEAL team because the Capt. Knows Harm's reputation. (Hey, Harm was the poster- boy don't forget!) And he knows better than to mess with him, even the Admiral knows that, and since they're friends it is a reasonable conclusion that the Admiral told his friend about them.
