Chapter 7: I Do Like Him

FRIDAY NIGHT

C.D.'S BAR & GRILL 1845

DALLAS TEXAS

"There's Gunny, the rest can't be far behind him." Holly said with a really happy smile when she caught sight of the Gunnery Sergent. "Holly, why don't you come to the bathroom with me?" Syd asked hoping Holly would say yes so she could pump her for information. "Okay." Holly answered as she stood and followed Syd to the bathroom.

"How long have you and Gunny been dating?" Syd asked, has she washed her hands five minutes later. "We're not." Holly answered. "Why'd you ask?" She questioned. "Cause your power of your smile and the light that shown in your eyes when you caught sight of him could have given a power company enough energy to light the city of Miami for a year." Was Syd's simple answer.

"I do like him, he's sexy, sweet, fun, tough and more than a little stubborn at times. We're really good friends and work together, so if we got together adn it didn't work out it would ruin not only our working relationship but our friendship too. I really cherish our friendship." Holly admitted glad to finally have someone, who wasn't across the country or a coulige, to talk too. "Besides, he's never even shown the slightest interest in me." She added.

"I know what you mean, I felt the same way about getting with Gage, especially the worry about if he felt the sameway. Now that I'm finally with him though I can't be happier. I don't know why we waited so long. Now we better get back out there, before they send a search party out to find us." Syd said with a grin.

"Can you believe the nerve of that guy? Grabbing my butt like he did, especially while I was in uniform." Holly was saying as her and Syd walked back to the table. "He sure backed of fast when we told him what we do for a living though." Syd responded with a grin as Gunny asked "What guy?"

"I know like he though girls couldn't be in the military or Texas Rangers." Holly said while rolling her blue eyes. "What guy?" Gunny asked again causing Syd to grin. As she grinned she caught sight of Walker grinning too, upon locking eyes with him he winked at Syd letting her know that he to thought that the couple should be together.

"Where should we go from here on this case?" Mac asked Harm as an exsperated Gunny once again asked Holly "What guy?" "Just a guy that we were questioning, he grabbed my butt as we were walking away from him It's okay though, because between my telling him I'm in the Navy, as if my uniform wasn't enough to tell him that fact, and Syd's telling him she's a Texas Ranger, we got him to back off fast." Holly told Gunny.

"Are you sure your okay?" Gunny asked. "I'm sure fine." Holly said gently reasurring the over protective Marine as Harm and Mac ignored them and continued discussing the case.

"We were talking about having Holly follow Petty Officer Cara McLintock's last movements here in Dallas and see if we can come up with anything that way." Harm told the group. "By herself?" Gunny asked. "No Gunny, with me riding in her backpocket." Harm said with a roll of his eyes.

"Walker, I suggested that they use a wire if you agreed to lend them one." Gage told his friend and boss. "Of course they can borrow one, it's in everyone's best intrest to find this pschycopatha. Anything we have that you need is yours." Walker voluntereed.

"Harm, your not actually thinking of sending Holly out to follow Petty Officer McLintock's last hours by herself are you? With only a wire and no kind of backup are you?" Gunny asked. "No Gunny, the Admiral gave me this number of a guy he know's who should be able to help us. We call the number tomorrow morning and ask for a guy named John and tell him we work for JAG and he's supposed to give us some kind of special help, whatever that may mean." Harm told everyone.

"Not only is there going to be that extra help, but if Walker gives his okay than Syd will help me give me help me give Holly extra back up." Mac added. "If Syd wants to help out by going undercover with you two, then it's find with me." Walker said okaying Syd's involvement. "I do want to help." Syd agreed to help her new friends.
