A/N So sorry that it's been a while since I've been able to update this, life has gotten in the way. Hopefully all that is behind me now. Well, here we go.. Showdown time!
Mic followed Mac to Harm's apartment, ( making sure he stayed a good distance behind her ) when he arrived he parked a ways away ( but close enough that he could see her ) he watched as she took out her bag, this raised his Curiosity, From what he'd heard back at her place, she was only supposed to be picking him up, not going up.
Something wasn't adding up, as he sat there thinking his thoughts drifted back to the night of their engagement party, they'd spent the entire evening together talking on the porch. He had at first chalked it up to them saying their final goodbyes to each other. ( so to speak ) still, he knew what he heard that night, as he watched her leave with him.
Then today when he confronted her, she gave him some bull shit story about a file he had. He knew that was a crock, just like this so-called case they were leaving for. He'd waited long enough, he got out of the car and headed across the street
Sametime inside Harm's apartment
Harm looked up from his seat on the sofa, when he heard his front door open. He smiled as he watched his wife walk in. He was about to go greet her, until she waved for him to stay put, making her way to him. She took a seat next to him, carefully laying her head on his shoulder. She took his left hand lacing it with hers.
Letting out a deep breath, she needed him now. "I couldn't talk to him, Harm. I wanted to; I just couldn't, there was a look in his eyes, I've only seen this look in my dad's eyes when he was drunk. I knew I had to get away from him."
Harm squeezed her hand, "Sweetheart; he can't hurt you here."
"I know that; I know that, what worries me is what his reaction is going to be. Judging from today, it's not going to be good."
"I wouldn't think it would be; think about it, last the guy knew, he was getting married."
"God Harm! I've made a mess out of everyone's lives, this is all my fault, if I'd just listened to you in Sdyney non of this would be happening right now."
"Hey now; this is just as much my fault as it is yours, I should have been more clear with you, back then I wasn't very good at expressing my feelings."
"Yea; well I wasn't very good at listening to you either, so I guess that makes us even." She went to stand up,
"where are you going?"
"In case you've not noticed, I'm wearing my uniform. I don't want to wear it all day."
"Well you don't need to change on my account, I happen to like you in your uniform."
"Oh; and why is that?"
"Simple; we can role play.."
"Role play?" Harm sat there smiling...Mac moved to sit on his lap, he started to unbutton her blouse. But stopped when they both heard loud pounding on the door, followed by a thick Australian accent.
"Open up Rabb...I know you're in there with her..."
Both looked at each other, time stood still. Harm put his finger on his lips, making a Signal for both of them to remain quiet. They silently prayed that he would just go away, however, this didn't happen, as the pounding just got louder.
"OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR RABB!!! I KNOW SHE'S IN THERE WITH YOU!!"
( Harm whispering ) "Take the phone and go into the bathroom, I'll deal with Brumby."
"Harm, no I'm not going to run from him, we stand against him together."
"Fine; follow my lead."
Harm stood up making his way over to the door, he braised himself as he opened it up. "Brumby, why are you here, pounding on my door?"
Mic tried to push his way past Harm, but Harm stopped him."I asked you why you're here?"
"I'm looking for my fiancé, I know she's here, her bloody car is out front."
"She's here, but she doesn't want to see you, in fact, she wants nothing more to do with you."
"What in the bloody hell are you talking about? We're getting married." Mac had heard enough. She walked over to the door
"Harm's right, Mic I'm ending things with us here and now, I should have never let them get as far as they did, all I had to do all those months ago was listen and well I didn't, I heard what I wanted to hear. That's the only reason I went out with you in Sydney."
Mic stood in the doorway, dumbfounded. He had to have heard her wrong, she went to him, she gave herself to him, she agreed to be his forever, and now she was treating him like one big mistake. No, she didn't get to treat him like this, she's his and no one was going to take her from him. He pushed his way past Harm knocking him out of his path and heading straight for Mac.
Mac saw him heading towards her, she tried to run, she stopped when she felt his hand grab her wrist, he pulled on her. She tried to free herself, but as she struggled his grip got tighter. "Let go of me"
He grabbed her other wrist, "You think you can just push me away, and treat me like this? I gave up everything for you. And you're going to be mine."
Harm quickly got up off the floor ( where he had landed when Mic pushed past him ) he rushed to the back side of Mic grabbing him so Mac could get free.
This startled Mic, catching him off guard and giving Mac a chance to get free from his grip. She moved back in horror watching the two men fighting with each other, dear god this was the last thing she wanted again. Knowing where Harm kept his service pistol, she ran and retrieved it, her hands started to shake as she raised the gun aiming towards Mic, "Mic stop or I'll shoot."
Her words hit him like a ton of bricks all at once, he stopped pounding on Harm long enough to get to his feet and charge toward Mac. Mac backed up trying to keep space between herself and the raging aussie,
Keeping her hands on the trigger, "Mic stop and listen please."Her words fell on deaf ears. She felt her breath starting to get faster as he kept charging at her. Suddenly she felt herself hit the ground, she barely realized she had backed into the stairs, at that same moment Mic lunged at her, and they both started fighting over the gun.
Time stood still, the only sound that was heard in the apartment was the gun firing...
