The Jag staff waffled between laughter and intrigue as they saw a side of Sarah MacKenzie they had never seen before. She was indeed a very amusing and entertaining young woman with answers that were quite animated and very seductive at times.
They watched as Harm reacted to her answers. They wondered if or when he would realized who the woman on the other side was and that he knew her quite well. There were bets on how many questions it would take before he realized that it was her.
They were quite surprised that the Colonel knew almost instantly that Harm was on the other side. They saw the smile that came across her face when she heard his voice.
It wasn't one of her cute little smiles that she gave whenever she was amused by something Harm or Bud did, but one that lit up the room. It engulfed her whole face. It was one that they had rarely seen.
It was so radiant and beautiful. It enhanced her beauty tenfold. They were surprised with the answers she was giving. They bordered on the line of being overtly seductive in their manner and indication.
She was getting an amazing response from the audience. She was playing on their anticipation and her own sexuality. She seemed to be really enjoying herself. The networks must be loving her as well.
As for Harm it was hard to tell when he knew that Mac was on the other side. Jason thought it was early on judging by his choice of questions and in the order in which he asked them. It was like he was painting a picture for the jury.
Gunny on the other hand wasn't quite so sure. He couldn't believe that anyone could be that insightful. He found it hard to believe that Harm knew that the Colonel was on the other side. There could be no reason for him to believe that.
Harriet tried to explain by saying that they were in love, but didn't convince anyone who was there. Bud tried to help her by saying that they had spent so much time together during the three years that Harm was at Jag.
They were together sixteen hours a day working, exercising, and just having fun. He told them that the answers that the Colonel was giving were only answers that the Commander would know.
For example the significance of her red dress, lots of shoes, walking around the Mall at night, Harm's meatless meatloaf, and finally her weird sense of humor and the smile that grace her beautiful face.
He explained that Harm knew Sarah was on the other side by the time he started talking about her little marine green butt. It was a code word between them.
He had heard the Commander say it to the Colonel whenever he wanted to throw her off stride whenever she had gotten one over on him. It was his way of telling her he wanted her. This time was no different.
It was time to choose his lady. Harm appeared to them as being quite apprehensive. They wondered why since he knew Mac was number three. They watched as Tom walked over to Harm to ask him the most important question of the show.
"It's time Harm to choose your Valentine. The three young ladies have done their best to entice you to choose them as your Valentine. I was amazed at the questions that you asked. You sounded like a lawyer in the manner in which you asked the questions." observed Tom.
"I was a lawyer in another life. I hope to be one again soon." replied Harm as Sarah's ears perked up at that revelation. Was it possible he was coming back to Jag?
The audience came alive on that comment as they all realized that Mac was a lawyer. Harm was a former lawyer. They were all trying to figure out what the connection was and what it all meant.
They wondered if they knew each other from another time and place. Sarah's answers were very explicit and sexual in nature as though she was teasing him.
"Lets see, you sound like you were in a few movies Harm, Top Gun, A Few Good Men, and An Officer and a Gentleman." smiled Tom for effect. He was trying to draw out the suspense. He thought he knew who Harm was going to take as well as the audience.
"Yes Tom, they were all movies about one phase of my life. Though I have to admit they were all a pale imitation of the real thing." smiled Harm to a round of applause.
"It's time for your selection Harm. Will be lady number one, lady number two, or lady number three?" asked Tom smiling.
"I must say that I had my reservations when I arrived here this afternoon. I had just flown in from the Mediterranean. I was hoping to rest and hopefully meet up with some friends and one very special young lady in particular.
I was disappointed to be brought here instead. I didn't want to be here, but when they explained to me that this was a special show to benefits the troops in Afghanistan and their families I couldn't say no.
I felt it was an honor and privilege to participate here tonight and I have had a very good time here tonight. The audience was super. All the ladies were special, but unfortunately I can only choose one." smiled Harm oozing the flyboy charm.
