As Time Goes By
Chapter 3
The room grew silent once again, and everyone shared an array of looks, from confused, anxious, to suspicion. Mac's hand fell protectively over her abdomen, and Harm stepped up next to her. Natalie twitched nervously, she never liked the awkward pauses of silence.
"Look I'm sorry that came as a shock, you can understand we were not expecting to find y'all here, let alone find us here in the time frame…damn I wish I paid more attention in that class." After a brief period. "Ma'am, Sir." Lucy glared at her sister, Natalie was always the tattletale in the family, and whenever something went wrong she'd be the first to squeal on Lucy or their brother.
"Tattletale." She mumbled loud enough for Natalie to hear.
"What was that?" Demanded Colonel Whitfield.
"Nothing, sir." Lucy was quick to respond. The whole time both Harm and Mac stood flabbergasted, and had yet to say anything, Harm was the first to speak.
"I'm sorry did you just tell us you're are children…and clearly from the future?"
"Yes sir." The girls responded in unison.
"And what class were you talking about Lt. Rabb." Lucy gave a cough to signal caution.
"Nothing sir, just a class sir." Lucy knew that Natalie was talking of the temporal dynamics course, the class was not Natalie's strongest subject and she barely passed with Lucy's help. It was a class based entirely on theory, a hypothesis on what the future would bring, in reference to time and extensive deep space exploration, a revised version of philosophy. Mac finally spoke.
"If you are who you claim you are, then you wont mind undergoing a blood test to prove, you are who you say you are?" The girls nodded in agreement, such a reaction they expected from their mother.
"Of course we will, the sooner the better, then maybe we can start to work on how we can get back."
"Fine, we should do it now then." Spoke up Colonel Whitfield.
"Ma'am, sirs if you officers wont mind while you get ready for the blood test, I would like to interview the lieutenants alone." Interrupted Major Montego.
"I think it'd be best if I stayed with the girls as a legal advisor." Spoke up Commander Rabb, the girls smiled he was always protective of them.
"Thanks Dad." Lucy slipped, she personally despised intelligence agents. It was Natalie's turn to nudge her sister to correct herself. "I mean sir." Lucy quickly fixed. The major frowned clearly he did not want JAG personnel to interfere in his interrogation. The rest of the room occupants dispersed after orders were given, Colonel Rabb continued to linger in the doorframe, her hand still resting protectively over her stomach at the same time she studied her 'daughters.' They were what she hoped they'd look like, the spitting image of her and Harm, both girls expresso brunette hair was chopped in a short bob, they had Harm's eyes and smile, her complexion and body frame. No doubt just like Harm said they had her looks and his intelligence. She gave an encouraging smile to the girls before leaving the room, even if the blood test came back negative she still felt protective towards the lieutenants.
24 Hours Later
The interrogation proved to be pointless, even with their father at their side, the girls who had grown to distrust intelligence personnel refused to answer the questions, unsure what would be appropriate to tell and what not. The time was mostly spent discussing what everybody already knew, followed by periods of silence as they studied each other. An hour into the interrogation, a medical team came in and drew the blood, the major had become bored with the repetitive conversation and dismissed himself after another hour, so he could make a call to his superiors. That left the lieutenants and the commander alone in the room.
"Have the treated you lieutenants alright?" The girls nodded.
"We've been in a lot worse scenarios." Lucy spoke up, but nothing more was added to that statement. The girls were given rations for their dinner again, and were provided with bunks in an isolated barrack, under watch of two MP's overnight. They stayed the rest of the day in the barracks, until both Commander and Colonel Rabb returned with Major Montego, and this time Admiral Chegwidden who was curious about the Lieutenant Rabb's. Both girl's eyes sort of grew hazy at the sight of the admiral, who they considered their grandpa, he died when the girls were 11, they missed him so much.
"We have the blood test results." Announced Colonel Whitfield, he held up the envelope as if to prove it.
"And…" Asked the admiral. The colonel read the results.
"It's positive, both the lieutenants are who they claim to be." Confirmed the colonel, as he passed the paper to the admiral, so he could confirm it as well. The room grew in silence again, as all eyes seemed to shift focus between the Rabb's, Natalie was the first as always to speak.
"Now what?"
Sorry if it's a little confusing, I'll try to straighten things out and slow things down in the next chapters. Any ideas I love going off of reviewer's feedback so please review!
