Mac had arrived at Jag Headquarters early. She had been sitting in her office reflecting on how wonderful the past two months have been. She was spending time with all her friends at the many social events that had come around. There was Bud and Harriet's anniversary party that she threw for them at Cath's house. Then there was little AJ's birthday. Then the Memorial Day Ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery, were Cath's mom is buried. Then Al's father came down for a visit from New York and there was a birthday party for him on June sixth. And there was the night her, Cath, Al, Harm, and Meg spent a quiet evening talking over pizza about their lives, and as Mac had said, cath told them about her sister, about how she hated the military and had showed up at Cath's graduation from OCS and spit on her..And now the fourth of July was two days away, and Cath and Al were throwing a big bash. Pool party, barbecue. Everyone from Jag and Bethesda would be there. AJ and Merideth, Harm and Meg, Sturgis and Bobbi Latham. Bud Harriet, Tiner, Petty Office Coates, and even Lauren Singer. Also attending would be friends of Cath's. Her commanding officer, her executive officer, and a number of other female and male officers. Yes Mac's life was wonderful these past months, except that there was still no man in her life. But that didn't bother her. She knew when the time came Cath would come thru, Yes Cath, so out going and likable, she wished she could be like her. But she wasn't and would depend on Cath for help. Work was fine too, she had nailed the Dunbar case with Cath's help and it was a big win for her. It would be a feather in her cap once her fitness report came up, it would surely mean another accelerated promotion to full colonel. And she made sure that Cath got recognition for her work on the case. She had requested that Admiral Chegwidden send a letter of commendation to Cath's commanding officer, which he gladly did. Mac needed more coffee, she had two cups already but she needed another. She had been working hard for two days. Staying late, coming in early and taking work home. She wanted everything done so she could leave early tomorrow and help Cath and Al shop for the party. She got up and headed for the coffee room. On the way she ran into Harriet. "Good morning Harriet", she said. "All set for Friday?". "Yes ma'am", Harriet replied. "If I can find a sitter". Mac slapped her forehead. "Duh, I forgot Harriet, Cath said to bring little AJ". "Oh that's great ma'am", Harriet said. He loves Catherine, why just yesterday he asked if he could call her Aunt Catherine". "Aww, that's so cute, I'm sure she wouldn't mind."Mac sighed, "Well Harriet coffee calls then back to the grind, see you later.". In the coffee room she ran into Tiner, who was making a fresh pot of coffee. Tiner had a reputation for making coffee worse than diesel fuel, but lately it tasted damn good. "Hey Tiner", Mac said. "Your coffee is much, much better", "Thank you ma'am", Tiner said. "Commander Russo taught me how to make it", Tiner said. "She calls it seagoing coffee" "Damn", Mac said, "that girl can teach anyone everything" "Yeah", Tiner said, "If she can teach me then everyone else is a breeze". Mac laughed at that as she let tiner pour her a cup. "Thanks Tiner, got to run", and she flew out of the coffee room. At the same time Harm was doing the same thing as Mac, trying to get his work done so he could leave early tomorrow. He tried working at home , but Meg had been playful the last couple of nights and he didn't get much done. He was going over a file about a submarine and got stumped. So he went o see Captain Buro. Harm knocked on Al's door. "Enter", he heard and went in. Al was doing what everyone else was doing, trying to get his work done by the end of the day."Hey buddy", Al said, "what's up. "Got a question for you". "Shoot", Al said. "Can a torpedo be fired with out anyone knowing it?". "Sure", Al said. "Well not actually fired. But if the guidance wire is not connected there would be no indication on the board. It wouldn't fire, it would just be forced out by compressed air and sink like a stone."Ah hah". Harm said, "that's it". "Some one lose a fish?", Al asked. "Yeah the Watertown". Al shook his head. "That boat has got more bad luck then a room full of broken mirrors". Harm laughed. "Well thanks for the input, got to run wanna get everything finished today. See you later", and Harm returned to his own office. The day went quickly for everyone as they were so busy. By 1700, Mac had just about finished her work for the week. A few hours in the morning and she would be done. The admiral had already given his ok for anyone who had finished their work to leave early on the 3rd . Mac packed up her stuff and left her office. She ran into Harm who was leaving too. "Hey sailor leaving?", she said. "Yeah Meg and I have some shopping to do for Al and Cath's party", Harm replied. "Cool", Mac said. "See you in the morning then". "Night marine", Harm said. 0700 hrs July 3rd 2003 Jag Headquarters Falls Church, Virginia. Al entered the bullpen and saw that Mac and Harm were already in. Each was in their perspective office working away He went to the coffee room and poured two cups. One for Mac and the other for himself, and proceeded to Mac's office. He poked his head in, "morning baby sister coffee?". "Oh you're a life saver big brother", Mac said. "I just haven't had the time to get myself one". "No time or just lazy?", Al laughed. "Hey be nice or I'll have Cath kick your six", Mac said. "No please anything but that", Al chuckled. "By the way, Cath said you can sleep over tonight, this way we can get up bright and early to set things up". "That Cath", Mac said, "Always has those wheels turning huh?".. "Yeah", Al replied, "That devious mind of her's is always in fourth gear"."She is kind of devious isn't she", Mac laughed. "Well I'll let you get back to work baby sister. See you later" "Ok big brother"< Mac replied, and returned to her files. Mac worked through lunch, and so did everyone else, so by 1330 everybody was gone except a skeleton crew. Mac closed her door and headed out. 1500 hrs July 3rd 2003 Stop and Shop Silver Spring, Maryland. Al, Catherine, and Mac pushed three shopping carts up and down the isles of the huge supermarket shopping for the big party. They bought steaks, ribs, chicken, hamburgers and hot dogs. They also bought beer, soda, iced tea, lemonade, and wine coolers. Tons of ice, and plenty of pastries. After they were done shopping they stopped for diner at a very nice Italian restaurant, that Catherine loved, She had shrimp marinara with pasta. Mac had spaghetti and meatballs , and Al had veal and peppers. After diner they had Italian cheesecake and coffee and then headed home. 2100 hrs Lt Cdr Russo's home Silver Spring, Maryland The three friends had worked getting things ready since they arrived home from diner. Mac decided she wanted to take a shower, so Catherine told her to go ahead, she would go after her. While Mac was in the shower Catherine told Al that she invited someone special to the party. "Al I invited Jim to the Party", she said. Jim was Captain James Jorgensen, commanding officer of the surgery department at Bethesda. "That's great", Al said. "going to introduce him to Sarah?". "Yeah", Catherine said. "I think he would be good for her". Captain Jorgensen was a widower, his wife died just about a year ago, and he was starting to date again. He was a tall man with a mustache. He looked somewhat like the actor Sam Elliot. "I like him", Al said. Al had met him at this years hospital Valentine's Day Party. "I think Sarah will like him too. But don't push to fast hon". "Oh I won't, I'll let nature take it's course, If they hit it off, I'll ask Mac if I could give him her number". Mac emerged from the bathroom wearing the skimpiest thong she ever dared to wear. It just barely covered her pubic area. Some hair was sticking out the top. She also had ob a very short tank top that exposed most of her stomach. In her navel she had a ring that she bought at the mall a few weeks ago when she went with Catherine to get her navel pierced. Catherine had done it years ago and Mac liked it and wanted it done too. Al looked at Mac. And said. "Wow baby sister aren't we getting daring". "Yeah", Mac said, :that woman next to you is sure a bad influence", she said, pointing at Catherine. Catherine laughed, "I'm the devil". Mac walked further into the kitchen and Al said, "turn around Sarah". Mac turned and Al saw that the thong had absolutely no back at all. "Damn Baby sister, you keep dressing like this and you'll have a thousand guys groveling at your feet". Mac's face lit up with a huge smile at the complement. "Well", Catherine said. "I'm going to take my shower now, but I just don't know how I'm going to top Mac's outfit". Ten minutes later Catherine came into the kitchen wearing a skimp leopard print thong and a tight see thru tank top."Damn", Al said. "You girls are going to drive me wild" They retired to the living room to watch TV. Jag was on and Al had to watch his other Catherine. After the show was over they had coffee and watched a movie. After the movie Catherine said, "I'm going to bed, I have a lot to do in the morning". "Yeah me too", Mac said, and she went to her room. Al and Catherine went to bed, but they didn't sleep. Al was so aroused by Catherine's attire, that he grabbed her and put his hand inside her thong, She moaned, "Oh god that feels so good, rub it baby". Al rubbed her nub and she exploded. After that she pleasured Al orally, and finally they had intercourse and fell asleep in each others arms. In the other room Mac was so turned on by the way she looked she masturbated herself to sleep. 1000 hrs July 4th 2003 Lt Cdr Russo's home Silver Spring, Maryland. Catherine was in the kitchen preparing food for the day's party. Al and Mac were in the pool cleaning it. Al showed Mac the right amount of chlorine and other chemicals to mix so that the pool would be in good order. Al had a net and was skimming the water for leaves and other floating objects. Mac poured in the chemicals just as Al had instructed. After she finished she got out of the pool wearing shorts and went to help Catherine in the kitchen. At about 1300 one of Catherine's friends arrived. Lt Cdr Samantha Carver. Samantha was a tall blonde of six feet three inches. She had short hair and deep blue eyes. "Hey Al", she said, walking over and planting a kiss on his cheek. "Where is Cath?". "In the kitchen", Al replied. Samantha head through the sliding doors and into the house. "Cath hiya girl" Samantha said as she entered the Kitchen. "Sam hi hon, glad you could make it. Did you bring a suit?" "Hell yeah, you think I'd come to a pool part without a suit". "Well", Cath said. "I thought that maybe you'd like to give the guys a show". Catherine said with her famous devilish grin" "Your bad Cath", Samantha said. "Oh I'm sorry, Sam say hello to my dear friend Sarah". Mac stuck out her hand and shook Samantha's . "Hello Samantha". "Hi Sarah nice to meet you, call me Sam". "Ok Sam", Mac said. "I'm Mac" "Mac", Catherine said. "Sam is a radiologist at Bethesda". "Wow", Mac said sounds interesting". "What do you do Mac?". Samantha asked. "I'm a JAG attorney". "Cool Samantha said. "Any thing I can do to help". "Yeah", Catherine said, " take out the drinks" No one was scheduled to arrive until 1500, so the three girls got everything ready with Al's help and sat down to chat. Samantha removed her jeans and top to reveal a black thong bikini. After stripping down to it she sat down and had a drink. Mac decided to do the same and took off her shorts and top to reveal the blue bikini she wore in Australia. Catherine stripped down to a purple thong suit. Al sat there and smiled. "What?" Catherine said. "Life can't get any better than this, me surrounded by three beautiful women". All three women blushed at Al's remark. "Aww isn't he sweet", Samantha said. Soon cars started to pull into the driveway. Petty Officer Tiner walked into the yard with his date, a very cute short haired redhead. "Hey Tiner", Al said, say hello to Sam". "Hello ma'am", Tiner said. This is Sharon". "Hello Sharon I'm Cath, this is Mac, and the big guy is Al", Catherine said. "Hello everyone, nice to meet you", Sharon said. Catherine motioned them to make themselves comfortable. After about a half hour all the guest were there. Harm and Meg were the last to arrive. Classic rock was blaring from the speakers mounted on the deck above them. Meg had on a red one piece swimsuit and she and Harm were playing in the pool. Lieutenant Janet Wallace, wearing a white thong bikini was chatting with Samantha and Mac. Catherine was dancing to the music of the band YES. Over in the corner Al was getting the grill going with some help from AJ. Merideth was talking with Harriet who was to pregnant to wear a swimsuit. The party was in full swing when Captain Jorgensen arrived. Catherine introduced him to the JAG staff, and finally Mac. "Jim this is Mac".Catherine said. "Hello Mac, nice to meet you". Nice to meet you too Jim", Mac replied. After awhile hotdogs and hamburgers were ready and every one ate and talked. The girls in attendance decided to play some volley ball. Catherine had a net set up at the back of the yard. The women who were playing stripped down to swimsuits and chose up sides. Captain Elisabeth Malone, Catherine's CO picked her team. Malone was a very pretty 44 year old who had long blonde hair. She wore a simple white one piece suit. She picked Samantha, an Ensign Mary Jones, who wore a red thong suit. She also picked Lauren Singer who had on a blue thong which revealed a tatoo on her left buttock. Catherine chose for her side. She picked Mac, Petty Officer Jennifer Coates, who had on a black bikini, and Lieutenant Marie Marino, in a yellow thong bikini. The game started and Catherine's team scored first. After awhile the game got hot and heavy. Catherine jumped high to spike a shot. She made it but she stumbled and caught the top of her bikini on a screw on the net. The top ripped off and her breasts spilled out. She just stood there laughing uncontrollably and clutched her arms over her chest and ran in the house. Everyone was laughing, and when Catherine came out of the house she said "You all enjoy the show". Everyone returned to their chatting. Mac was talking to Captain Jorgensen for quite some time. Catherine could see the light in Mac's eyes and knew that Mac liked Jim As the night grew darker they all watched fireworks and had a snack .After awhile Captain Jorgensen said he had to leave. He said goodbye to Mac. "Well Sarah it was nice meeting you, Ihope to see you again some time". "I'd like that", she replied. Catherine came over and told Jim, I'll walk you out". When they got to his car, she asked. "Well?' "She's amazing Cath, she's intelligent funny, and oh so beautiful. She looks just like you". "Good" , Catherine said. "I'll ask her if I can give you her number". "Thanks Cath", he said, kissing her on the cheek. It was getting late and people started to leave. Soon it was just Catherine, Mac, and Al. 0100 hrs July 5th 2003 Lt Cdr Russo's Home Silver Spring, Maryland. Al had gone to bed and Catherine and Mac were sitting on the couch talking."So Mac", Catherine said. "What do you think of Jim?". "He's nice Cath, I like him. He is smart and funny, and I enjoyed talking to him, but". "But?" Catherine asked. "But I see a lot of pain in his eyes". Mac answered. "Yes hon, he lost his wife last year, ovarian cancer". "Awww", Mac sighed. "Any children?". "No, Sandra, his wife couldn't have children", Catherine said. "He asked me if I can give him your number, can I?". "Oh yes Cath please do I'd really like to see him", Mac said with a huge smile. 1100 hrs July 9th 2003 Jag Headquarters Falls Church, Virginia. Mac could not keep her mind on her work. She wondered when and If Captain Jorgensen would call her. Catherine had told her that she gave him her number on Monday and it was now Wednesday. "How does that old school girl line go", she thought. "If he doesn't call by Wednesday do I call him on Thursday". Mac shook her head, "Suck it up marine", she thought. "You have work to do". She started going over a file when her phone rang. She nearly jumped out of her skin. She crossed her fingers and picked up the phone. Lieutenant Colonel MacKenzie", she said in to the phone. "Hi Mac", came the reply. "Jim". Mac's heart raced as she tried to stop trembling. She thought, "why am I acting like a school girl. I've been on dates before, but this man does something to me" She took a deep breath. "Hi Jim, how are you?". "I'm fine and you?", Mac said. "Great, listen Mac, Cath gave me your number. I hope you don't mind". "Not at all Jim", Mac said. Her hands were shaking, "was he going to ask her out", she thought. "Listen Mac, I was wondering if you would have dinner with me Friday?". Mac's face lit up like 4th of July fire works. "Yes Jim, I'd like that", she finally managed to get out. "Great", Jim said, "I'll pick you up at 2000?". "That's fine Jim, I look forward to it. Take down my address". After exchanging some more pleasantries, Mac said goodbye and hung up. After Mac replaced the phone in it's cradle, she got that feeling in her stomach. The one a woman gets when a man she's attracted to asks her on a date. She was so excited, she hadn't felt this way about a man in sometime. Not since the first time she met Harm. She couldn't wait to get home and call Catherine. She sat down at her desk and let her mind wander. She remembered the dream she had a few months ago. The one where she was getting married to the man with no face. "Could Jim be the man in that dream?", she thought. "If it is" she said to herself, "there is no way I can ever thank Cath. Cath my dear friend and sister doing this for me. I'll never forget her, I love her so. Mac continued her thoughts. She saw her wedding day. The birth of her first child. She would have everything she ever dreamed of. A good man, a home, a family, and comfortable shoes. Lots of them. Suddenly she realized that she had only just met this man. "Slow down marine", she said to herself. "You haven't even gone out on a date yet, and already you have yourself married with children". Mac threw herself in to her work, she wanted this day over quick. Finally her internal clock told her it was 1730 and 45 seconds. She shut down her computer, closed the lights and headed home. 2100 hrs Mac's Apartment Georgetown. Mac made it home in record time, she immediately changed into tank top and thong, had a quick supper, and called Catherine. The phone rang 16 times and Mac was about to hang up when she heard that familiar voice. "Hello", "hi Cath, catch you at a bad tine?", Mac giggled. "Oh hi Mac, no not really, I was in the shower not fooling around with Al", she said. Mac laughed, "always with the jokes huh sis?". "You know me lighthearted Cath". "Listen sis, can you talk?', Mac said. "Sure", Catherine replied, "Always have time for my sister", Catherine said. "Just let me throw something on I'm naked", she giggled. "Cath your bad", Mac said laughing. A minute later Catherine was back on the line. "You decent now Cath?" , Mac chuckled. "Yeah, I'm dressed", Catherine giggled. "Yeah I can imagine how dressed you are, probably need a magnifying glass to see what you got on". "So, Mac. What's up?". "Jim called", Mac said excitedly. "He's taking me out to dinner Friday". "Oh Mac, that is fantastic", Catherine said. Cath?", Mac questioned. "Can you go shopping with me tomorrow night and help me pick out a new dress?", "Of course hon, but are you sure you want me to help, you know what I'll pick out", Catherine said. "Yeah", Mac replied. "A dress with a hem up to the bottom of my navel and a neckline cut to the top of it", Mac said giggling uncontrollably. "You know me to well sis", Catherine said. "1800 good for you?' "Fine", Catherine said. "See you then", and hung up. Mac slipped into bed around 2300, but she couldn't sleep. She kept thinking about her upcoming date with Captain Jorgensen. "Will it go alright?", she thought. "Will he ask to see me again?". At about 0200, Mac finally drifted off to sleep. THE END
