As Time Goes By
Chapter 12
I-95 North
Mac was driving down the interstate, not exactly sure where to go, but knew it was anywhere other than to the office or towards the DC area. She smiled when a location crossed her mind, it would be the perfect place to go, and she was already on her way!
JAG Headquarters
"Where is Colonel Rabb, Admiral?" Demanded Dr. Roberts his hands shoved in his pocket, rocking back on his heels using body language to show his annoyance of this game of cat and mouse. The major stood in the back of the room curious who would win this.
"I have no idea, I was under the impression that she was on her way into office." The admiral looked annoyed he had not even bothered to budge when the doctor had burst into his office. Calm and complex like the trained SEAL he was, Admiral Chegwidden maintained his poker face while taking a sip from his coffee, his eyes never shifting from the report he had been reading before he was so rudely interrupted.
"If you are truly curious, why don't you ask Commander Rabb." The admiral was trying to shake off this doctor and his team; he did not appreciate them lurking around the office. He had been able to slip a note to the commander explaining the scenario through Coates.
"I believe I will." The doctor stormed off without waiting for permission, the major followed the doctor out with his eyes and then turned back to the admiral waiting for his orders.
"You are dismissed Major." As soon as Major Montego left the admiral finally looked up, neither the doctor nor the major would disclose the whereabouts of the twins other then to say they were in custody. Admiral Chegwidden was aware of the twins' impression of intelligence officers, and was concerned over how they were doing now.
Doctor Roberts bursts into Commander Rabb's office just like he had with the admiral; the Commander looked up annoyed. He had no tolerance for the man who taken his daughters into custody and was now tracking down his wife.
"Commander, I am running low on patience, where is your wife?" The Commander stood up from his chair; he felt more intimidating and more in control when he stood up so he could glare down at the doctor.
"My wife was ill this morning, she planned on coming in late, she must be on her way." He answered, looking quite smug down at the doctor.
"You're obstructing the law, by aiding a suspect." Threatened the doctor.
"Doctor, if you haven't forgotten I am a lawyer, I know the law quite well, and another thing when did my wife become a suspect, what crime did she commit?" Harm's cold stare barreled right into the doctor's eyes. The doctor shifted his weight, and looked back at the major.
"I am tired of this run around, I am going to go back to the lieutenants, when the colonel arrives be sure to bring her in." He instructed the major, as he turned and left. The commander glance turned towards the major, to make sure he knew he did not appreciate his presence. The major ducked out without permission, knowing that the glare he was getting was sufficient enough. Harm relaxed after the major shut the door after himself, he was worried for his daughters, both sets of them, and his wife, he hoped Mac had found a good place to hide.
Grandma Sarah's residence
Pennsylvania
"Why Sarah what are you doing here in your condition?" Grandma Sarah proclaimed ushering her granddaughter (in-law) through the door. Harm's grandma was in excellent shape for a woman her age, and still resided in Pennsylvania, it was an excellent temporary hideout. Mac explained the events of the past several days and today as Grandma Sarah prepared her some lunch.
"Oh you poor sweetheart, you made the right decision coming here, you're are welcome to stay here as long as you need to, you will be safe here too." She gestured in the direction of the shotgun propped up in the corner, Mac laughed she knew there was reason she loved this women so much!
"Thank you and I promise I won't be a nuisance, and I can help."
"I will have no such thing! You've been through quite an ordeal and need your rest." Mac was grateful to her for everything, and knew she made the right decision.
Interrogation room of Lieutenant Lucy Rabb
The wait was torture in itself, Lucy shifted ever so slightly in her seat, if anyone was watching her she did not want him or her to see her get uncomfortable. She had, had plenty of experience of how to deal with intelligence officers from the war. She relaxed in the fact that legally at the time American intelligence officers could not torture suspects. She was told that she and her sister were charged with the accusation of being a threat to national security, and were being taken into custody in order to protect the general public. She could not see how eating breakfast was a threat to national security, but while in the POW camp she had been charged with more ridiculous accusations. She was curious about how her sister was doing; they had been separated after being arrested. Lucy slowly reached up and rubbed the back of her neck, she knocked her head pretty hard after falling to the floor, Lucy was right she still hadn't learned her lesson. Just then the door to her room opened and in walked two federal agents; Lucy returned her hand to resting on the table.
"You need any Tylenol? You took a nasty spill." Offered one of the agents, Lucy did not respond she kept her eyes trained on the agents. They were clearly holding out for a response before they continued it would at least be considerate to be polite so not to portray a terrorist as they probably figured her out to be.
"No thank you, I'm fine." Before allowing the agents to speak she added. "Where is my sister?"
"She is fine, we made a deal and she is telling us all we need to know, we are willing to make the same offer to you as long as we can just get your statement in order to make sure both of your stories check out." Lucy gave a slight laugh.
"I am afraid I'm not going to fall for that one gentleman, I doubt my sister has even said enough to offer her name let alone tell you 'everything you need to know'." Lucy didn't need to be in the same room to know that her sister had said nothing to these agents.
"Very well, we can be more merciful towards you then if you just answer a few questions." Spoke up one, Lucy kept a straight poker face the whole time.
"You accuse my sister and I of being a threat to national security, we were only eating breakfast, I hardly find that a threat, and I'm not going to answer anything." The agents snickered.
"We know you and your sister are from the future, so you can save the innocent act for someone else we merely want to ask a few questions." Lucy kept her word and kept her stare steady concentrating on the wall behind the agents, after asking a few questions and not getting a single response the agents left promising to return in a few in hopes she would be more willing to compromise.
Natalie shoved the sleeves of her long sleeve t-shirt up, the room was kept a little warmer then room temperature, on purpose she was sure. She worried about Lucy, the fall she took was pretty bad, and she didn't get a chance to check on her. She wasn't going to show her concern though, that'd be a weakness that these agents could go use. Just then the door opened and two agents walked in, they sat across the table from her, Natalie nonchalantly pulled down her sleeves, but before she could one of the agents grabbed her wrist.
"Interesting tattoo." He commented, Natalie didn't say anything she pulled her wrist back and finished pulling down her sleeve. "Is my sister alright?"
"She is fine, we just got done talking with her." Natalie skeptically glared at them, she knew Lucy wouldn't tell them anything.
"Oh yes quite a little chatter bug, we know that you are both from the future and she was more forthcoming with even more details." Natalie raised her eyebrow in her best Spock impression, since her dad didn't approve of most of the TV shows that were on the air while they grew up. Natalie and Lucy were raised on old TV shows on DVD. She knew that this was just a bit to get her to start talking, but Natalie wasn't buying it she stared at the agents but didn't offer anything up. After awhile the agents grew tired of her silence they left and promised to return later.
Agent Michael and Agent Keller stepped into the hall they were both frustrated over the fact that neither twin would talk, they were shocked when they were told who these lieutenants were. They were about to re-enter Lieutenant Lucy Rabb's room again when Doctor Roberts showed up.
"How is it coming?" Inquired Dr. Roberts.
"Neither of them are talking, any luck with the colonel?" Replied Agent Keller.
"No, I believe we didn't act fast enough and someone was able to warn her, we are just going to have to work with the lieutenants in the mean time." The agents were about to re-enter the room once again when another agent came down the hall.
"Doctor, we just located the lieutenants aircraft, unfortunately its locked, we are going to need the lieutenants to open it." The agent informed, the doctor turned to Agent Keller and Michael.
"This is just the break that we needed, get the lieutenants, gentleman we are about to make history."
