So now Sarah found herself on her second missing person case of today.

Now she was searching the local hang outs of some very Special Agent. Who by the looks of it what sleeping his way though every night club in town. He'd better have started that AFTER Harm dumped him or she would have to kill him.

When she finally tracked him down she spend some time observing him from a corner of the nightclub. He was pretty. Tall, lean , artfully tousled hair with the air of old money surrounding him.

She hated that type. It made her feel inadequate, acutely reminding her of her own lacking upbringing.

Shaking that feeling off...thinking about her best friend who she left spend and miserable sleeping in her bed .. she moved towards him.

He turned around smiling.

Wauw that was one hell of a smile he packed there. Momentarily stunned she didn't speak so he took the opportunity to start the conversation

"so I was wondering when you would finally come over here. What kept you honey, you like admiring from afar? "

Ow Harm, she thought, how the hell could you fall so hard for such a sleazeball?

'its not honey, its colonel McKenzie. And I was not admiring you but observing. I'm here about Commander Rabb "

She almost got a whiplash from the one-eighty he made. Gone was the relaxed graceful inviting posture. For her stood a man with almost military posture and a hard cold face.

"what do you want? "he snapped.

"i just want to talk to you about Rabb"

"there is nothing to tell. We were friends and that's all your going to get out of me "

he made a sharp turn and walked towards the exit.

To late she realized how this must look from his perspective.

It did impress her a bit though, that he didn't take the opportunity to get back at Harm. The way Harm told her, he had dumped this Tony guy in a spectacularly ugly way.

She went after him and grabbed his upper arm. He hissed in pain and almost went to the ground

"Wow sorry what just happened there? "

He shrugged like it was nothing but she saw sweat drops appear on his forehead and he was looking distinctly gray.

"nothing just a bullet grace. You grabbed the precise spot. Now get away from me "

"i don't think you understand. I'm not here to out Harm or do anything to him. I'm his friend"

Green eyes seemed to take her measure.

"Colonel McKenzie? You must be Mac right? "

She nodded.

"what the time?"

"Huh"

"whats the exact time?" he snapped

"01.23"

He checked his wristwatch A terrible flashy Rolex by the looks of it, but accurate because he nodded satisfied.

So now she found herself staring in the face of Harms ex-boyfriend over a cup of coffee in an all night diner

"so Colonel Sarah McKenzie what do you want to talk about and hurry up because I'm having a really shitty week in an even shittier month and I really need to get layed tonight if I will have any change of facing my team tomorrow "

Harm had never found out what they had talked about. He only knew that when he woke up the next morning Tony was sitting in Mac's living room painting her toenails.
