Chapter 2

Letter from an old Friend

The school bell rang Natalie leaped from her chair and raced down the hall to her locker. Natalie never locked her locker, so she was able to pop her locker right open. As she opened her locker an envelope fell out, she picked it up, it was addressed to her dad. That was odd she thought, but she shrugged it off, it was probably from the front office. She wondered what she or Lucy did that deserved a letter from the front office. She stuffed the envelope in the front pocket of her backpack and slammed her locker. If she were even one minute late to practice Coach Allen would make her do fifty push up before getting in the water for practice.

As Natalie raced into the locker room, she noticed her twin sister was already dressed in her suit, she was pulling her hair back and under her cap by the time Natalie put her bag down. The swimming pool was across the parking lot from the school, it was a district sponsored pool, but only high schools had teams. Natalie and Lucy swam on a US swim club team that used the pool. The pool was beautiful, it was indoors but the back wall was nothing but windows that opened up to the patio that looked out onto the mountains. It was an eight-lane pool with a separate diving well for the diving team.

"Hey don't forget mom is coming home today!" Lucy reminded as she dug through her swim bag for her goggles.

"I know she promised to bring me back a kimono I hope she remembered." Lucy emerged triumphantly with her goggles from the depths of her swim bag.

"See you out there." She called over her shoulder as she raced. Natalie sighed she heard the sound of her other teammates starting their warm up. She was pulling the straps of her swimsuit over her shoulder when she heard Coach Allen start his countdown. 'Oh no.' She grabbed her goggles and cap as she raced out of the locker room, she threw her cap on and as she dove into the pool she managed to tighten her goggles. She could here Coach Allen laughing from the deck as she began her warm up, she made it with only seconds to spare.

Harm waited patiently outside of the pool waiting for his girls to come out of practice. He took off the rest of the day so he could go pick up Mac from the airport. He was so relieved to have his other half back, not that he didn't appreciate having some time with his girls, but he missed her. Harm glanced down at his watch to check the time, when he glanced up again he scanned the parking lot out of boredom. He noticed a car parked in the back of parking lot, with a man sitting in the driver's seat, there was something strangely familiar about the man, but Harm shrugged it off he didn't know many of the parents of the swimmers. Harm was distracted when the back door opened; he turned to see Lucy and Natalie crawl into the back seats.

"Hey girls how was practice?"

"Brutal, Paige and Chloe would not stop talking so Coach made the entire team swim and extra 400." Natalie complained.

"Then we had to do sprints from the blocks." Lucy sighed, Lucy was a long distance swimmer she hated doing sprints. Harm smiled sympathetically at his daughters.

"Sorry about that but it will help you in the long run." The glare he received from his daughters clearly read they 'did not care', so he started up the engine. "Ready to go get your mom?" The girls nodded, they were clearly exhausted. Harm turned back to the parking lot as he pulled out he noticed the car was no longer there.

Honolulu Airport

"Welcome back Colonel Rabb." The inspection officer greeted as he handed back her passport.

"Thank you." Mac accepted as she put her passport in her purse. She walked out the door and was greeted by her family standing by their car. Harm came up and took her luggage from her, kissing her on her forehead; Mac returned the kiss and turned to her daughters who raced over to greet her. "I missed y'all so much, and yes I brought back your souvenirs." Mac answered in anticipation of the question, as they all got into the car.

"How was the case." Harm asked as they merged onto the highway.

"I won of course." Mac smiled triumphantly, "turned out an old rival from boot camp framed my client." Harm took Mac's hand and kissed it.

"I knew you could figure it out." Harm complimented, Mac turned back to her girls.

"So how was your week?" Mac asked her daughters, who she could clearly tell were exhausted from their swim practice.

"We had a lot of homework, but Dad said we didn't have to do any and we were allowed to stay up past our bedtime and watch rated R movies and eat tons of candy." Lucy teased, Mac laughed at the look Harm gave, she knew her daughters were teasing her, but Harm's facial expression was priceless. The rest of the car trip was uneventful, as they arrived at the house the girls raced in. They wanted to check their computers to see if any of their friends left any messages.

"Hey, hey, hey." Mac called up to her girls, they halted in their tracks and turned and smiled at their mom. "Weren't progress reports sent out yesterday?" Harm cringed as he carried Mac's suitcases in behind her, he completely forgot about progress reports.

"Yes ma'am." The twins replied, Harm placed Mac's suitcases in their bedroom, and came back out to see their progress reports.

"Lucy four As, three Bs, and one C well we can work on that how bout you Natalie?" Mac held out her hand to accept Natalie's progress report, as Natalie pulled the report out the envelope fell from her backpack.

"What's this?" Harm inquired picking up the envelope, Natalie shrugged.

"It was in my locker, addressed to you." Natalie explained, Harm gave a funny look as he opened up the letter and began to read.

"Natalie your grades aren't that bad either, still need to work on your math though." Mac commented she held up the progress report for Harm to read, but stopped when she saw Harm's expression. The color in his face was completely drained and his eyes read a mixture of horror and anger. "Harm?" She asked, noticing his focus on the letter.

"Girls go to your room." Harm ordered, the twins exchanged confused looks, what did that letter say that forced them to go to their rooms. "Now please." Harm snapped the girls scurried collecting their backpack and raced up the steps to their room.

"Harm what is it?" Mac inquired, Harm didn't say anything he just handed her two pictures and a letter. One picture was of Lucy at lunch laughing with her friends; the second one was of Natalie walking down the hall with her books in her arm obviously in between classes. The letter was a simple typed letter that read…

I can get this close to them.

Therefore I can do anything.

It's time for a reunion.

-An old friend.

I stop there I wish for some more reviews before I continue!
