My email is never_lucky@hotmail.com 0945 ZULU Headquarters “Hey Harm” Mac said as she walked up to Harm “Hey” he replied looking up to see her “Looking forward to Bud and Harriet’s Christmas party?” A smile crossed harms face and he said “sure am, it’s gonna be great. What about you… you looking forward to it?” “Yeah, I mean I get away from cases and reports to write… who wouldn’t!” Mac answered back to him with a big smile. “Ha, yeah,” harm then starts to walk to his office door “ that reminds me, what to do want for Christmas…or should I just surprise you?” harm asks with his flyboy smile “Um…surprise me” then Mac walks to her own office 10 minutes later Harm's Office Sturgis knocks on harms door. “Harm, you busy?” Harm looks up from his computer where he was typing a report up “Why?” “I just though that we could play a game of basketball, you know so I can kick your six again!” Sturgis says with a smirk “Haha, sure but I’ll be kicking your six” “Don’t count on it buddy” 1202 ZULU On the basketball court Harm swoops the ball under his legs, Sturgis comes into to steal it off him but harm does a quick maneuver and slams the ball into the net. Harm then goes and sits down on the wooden seat where his drink bottle is and squirts water into his mouth. Sturgis follows. “Your getting good there harm, you been practicing on the side?” “Nope,” Harm says and takes another drink of water “ I just almost died out there trying to beat you” Sturgis quickly changed the subject “So is Mac going to the Christmas party?” “Of course she is, she always goes. Why?” “No reason” “Come on Sturgis you always have a reason” “Tell me again why use two aren’t together, cause I keep forgetting” Sturgis says without a flinch “Sturgis” Harms says in a low voice “Come on harm, god if you two could only see what the rest of us see!” “And what does everyone see, Sturgis?” “That you and Mac have feeling for each other, that every time that she’s in a room you can’t take your eyes off her, that you two fight but you always apologize first no matter who started it, that you get jealous when a guys talking or looking at her and she gets jealous when a woman talking to you” Sturgis says already knowing that Mac’s in love with harm. Harm sits there stunned that Sturgis is actually saying this to him but says nothing. “Am I right Harm?” “Sturgis” “Harm why can’t you just admit it, you love her…your in love with her. What are you afraid of?” There was a long silence before harm answered the question “ Sturgis…it’s complicated” “Why, because you’ve made it?” Sturgis replies “Would you just drop it ok!” Harm says frustrated “I’m not going to drop it till you tell me Harm. Ever since I’ve known you, you have never back away from a relationship with someone you care about, so why do you do it with Mac? What are you afraid of … losing her? Ca… ” Sturgis didn’t finish he sentence because Mac cut him off “Hey guys” Mac says and she notices Harm looking upset “Harm is you ok?” Harm looks at her and puts on a smile and says, “Yeah, I fine Mac” Mac didn’t by it but said nothing further “So who won?” Sturgis looks away from Harm and looked at Mac “Harm won this time, he’s getting go” “Must be all the healthy food,” Mac says smiling Harm quickly cut in and said “I gotta go,” he stands up and picks up his drink bottle “I ah just remembered that I still gotta finish writing up a report, so I’ll see ya’s later” and he walks off not looking at Mac Mac turns her head to see harm walking away, now she knows that something is wrong with him and she bets that Sturgis knows what. “What’s wrong with Harm, Sturgis?” Sturgis looks up at Mac “Nothing, don’t worry about it” and Sturgis gets up and walks away as well, leaving Mac standing alone think what the hell is going on “ but I do worry” she says to herself as she stands alone of the basket court. 1400 ZULU Headquarter Mac sees Harm in the coffee room and walks up to him. “Harm, I thought that you had to finish your reports” Harm looks at Mac after taking a sip from his coffee “I…ah finished” Mac moves closer to harm with a concerned look upon her face “Harm if there’s something wrong, you’ll tell me right?” “Of course I would” he replies softly “Then what’s wrong Harm, out there on the Basketball court you weren’t yourself, is there something I need to know?” “Nothings wrong Mac. I’m fine, I was just talking to Sturgis that’s all” “Did he say something to upset you?” “No,” Harm puts his cup down and walks to the door and turns around “Mac don’t worry about me, I’ll see you at the party ok” “I do worry about you Harm” Mac said and Harm smiled at her for that comment and walked out the door Just then Harriet walks in to the coffee room and pours herself a cup of coffee. “Ma’am” “Harriet, how are you?” “Good, ma’am I’m really excited about the Christmas party tonight. Just to have everyone there, Bud will be happy.” She says smiling Mac smiles at Harriet “Harriet can I ask you something?” “Sure ma’am” “Do you know what’s wrong with Commander Rabb? He doesn’t quite seem himself today” “No ma’am I haven’t noticed,” Harriet replies concerned “ Is there something wrong with the Commander?” Mac looks at her “Um…no I guess not” and Mac takes a sip of her coffee. 1902 ZULU Robert’s residence “Colonel” Harriet says as she greets Mac at the front door “Hi Harriet, here’s a present for your Christmas tree and Harriet please, call me Mac” “Thank you and I will ma’am…I mean Mac,” Harriet stumbles to say Mac spots harm in an instant talking with the admiral “So your taking Meredith to the mountains for Christmas, I’m sure she will like that” harm says “I hope so,” he replies, “So what about you Harm, what are you doing this Christmas?” the admiral asks as Mac walks into the conversation “Me um…I’m staying here” “Not going to see your mum?” asks the admiral “No, not this year. Her and Frank are going on a cruise” “Where are they going?” Mac asks Harm “Bahamas, I think. I’m not quite sure. Excuse me” and Harm walks away. Mac stands there looking upset that Harm again walked away from a conversation with her. The Admiral notices it. “Is every thing ok with you two Colonel?” he questions Mac replies in a silent voice still looking at Harm “ I don’t know Admiral. Something’s wrong with him but he won’t tell me” “Maybe he has a lot on his mind” the Admiral says looking at Mac “Maybe” Mac replies still looking at Harm Harm is talking to Harriet about the party. “Great party Harriet, you really pulled it together well” Harm congratulates her “Thank you sir. Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves,” Harriet replies looking around and she notices that Harm seems distracted “ Are you enjoying yourself sir?” Harm looks at Harriet and says “Yeah, why wouldn’t I be?” “You just seem distant that’s all” “ I do? Sorry about that.” Harm replies to her looking out the window “The Colonel is worried about you” Harriet took a gamble saying that to Harm. Harm shot his head to Harriet’s direction “She told you…that she was worried about me?” He questioned “She doesn’t have to tell me I can see it” Harriet replies to his question Harm doesn’t say anything further, instead he looks over to where Mac is standing. Mac sees Harm looking at her from the corner of her eye and returns the look and adds a smile. Harm smile back at her. It’s the first smile she has seen since he went strange and she thinks to herself that everything must be back to normal with him. “Excuse me, I’m gonna get myself something to drink.” Harm says and walks away. Harm walks over to the table that has all the drinks on it and grabs a cup and fills it halfway with Harriet’s secret punch. “Harm” a voice says from behind Harm but he recognizes it and he spins around to face the person. “Sturgis,” Harm says with a half smile on his face “ Enjoying yourself?” “I am,” he replies “ Look Harm, I want to apologize about earlier on the basketball court, I was out of line questioning you on your relationship with Mac and how you feel about her. I’m sorry” “Well that must be a first Sturgis” Harm says drinking his punch. “What do you mean, a first?” Sturgis replies confused “You apologizing for sticking your nose in where it doesn’t belong. I mean you never say sorry, you never give the subject a rest do you?. Even if you say your sorry and you won’t do it again, you do. Every time there’s a relationship you think you can help put together, just remember they don’t need your help ok. Don’t always think you can do everything, cause you can’t.” Harm walks away leaving Sturgis shocked as well as Bud who just so happened to over hear the last part of the conversation. “Wow” Bud says “Bud,” Sturgis turns around and faces him “Did you just hear all of that?” “Only the last thing the Commander said to you sir,” Bud responds “You must have said something really bad to upset him” “ I’m afraid as Harm stuck it , I put my nose it where it doesn’t belong.” “I’ve done that plenty of times sir” Bud answers back “Well I think I’ve outdone you Lt.” Sturgis says and walks off Bud walks over to his wife, who is now standing with Mac and the Admiral. “Hey sweetie” Bud says planting a kiss on Harriet’s cheek “Bud,” Harriet replies back “Where have you been? Hiding?” “Just talking to people” “So Bud,” Mac asks “How you doing?” “Good ma’ma, I’m getting used to waking up late in the morning” he replies with a big smile The whole group laughs. “Ma’ma may I ask you a question?” Bud asks “Sure Bud” Mac answers back “Is something wrong with Commander Rabb?” “I’ve been sensing something is but, I don’t know what, why?” Mac says looking a Bud “It’s just before, he told Commander Turner off saying to keep his nose out of where it doesn’t belong and that he should stop trying to fix people up.” Bud replies to her question. Mac just stands there for a minute without saying a word “ He said that?” “Yes ma’ma, the Commander was really angry with Commander Turner. I think that Commander Turner did or said something to upset Commander Rabb” “Did you see which way the Commander went?” Mac asks “Commander Turner went into the kitchen ma’ma” “I think she meant Commander Rabb, Lt” the Admiral cuts in “Oh, outside ma’ma” Bud response finally getting it right “Thank you Bud” Mac says with a sort of smile. Mac walks towards the door and opens it and steps outside. “Do you think that we should also go out and see if the Commander’s alright?” Bud asks the Admiral “No, I think we should just leave it alone. The Colonels out there.” The Admiral replies Outside The Roberts House “Harm” Mac says look at him Harm turns around from looking at the stars and leans against the porch railings “Hey” was all he managed to say to her. “Harm, are you ok?” Mac asks concerned “Didn’t you already ask me this question today?” “Yeah, but I thought I’d ask again,” She response with a smile and then she turns to serious. “Really Harm what’s going on with you? What did Sturgis say to upset you? “Doesn’t matter” he said and turned back to look up at the stars. Mac sighs and walks up to stand next to Harm. “You know, people always look to the stars for guidance, is that what your doing, looking for guidance?” “Why do I need guidance?” he says not looking at her “I don’t know, you tell me” “Maybe I just like looking!” he replies “Your good at that” Mac response “What’s that suppose to mean?” Harm says now facing her. “That you always look and never take.” Mac says referring to her and Harm’s relationship; how he always looks at her but is too afraid to make a move towards a relationship. “Mac” Harm whispers “It’s always the case with you Harm, you’re too afraid to move forward…instead you stand in the shadows and let the people you care about and the people that care about you fade away out of your life.” Harm doesn’t respond instead he looks down at his feet them back up to Mac’s face. “Please Harm, just tell me what you’re afraid of.” Mac says with a pleading _expression on her face. “I’m afraid of a lot of things,” Harm answers back. “Like what?” “Of losing myself, of losing everything that’s meant something in my life…of losing you?” he whispered at the end. Mac stood there, just looking at Harm until she was able to speak “Harm, I already told you, you’re never gonna lose me” Harm looked at her “How can you be sure? I almost lost you once”” Mac looks back at Harm and sighs knowing that he was talking about when she and Mic were together. “Trust me, I’m not going to let that happen” she response back. “How did we get onto this topic?” Harm asks Mac “It just happens with us, especially on porches” Mac replies smiling Harm laughs, “I guess I should go and apologize to Sturgis” “What did he say to you, to get you upset?” Mac asks hoping for an answer this time. “Nothing” “Don’t Harm” “Don’t what, Mac?” Harm asks again this time looking straight at her “Don’t leave me out. I want to know what’s wrong, why can’t you tell me?” this time Mac moves close to Harm Harm watches her move closer to him “I just can’t” “Why?” Mac says again moving even closer Harm swallows hard, not wanting to tell her what Sturgis and him were talking about. He looks away as he tells her “Because it was about you” “About me?” Mac asks stunned. “Yeah” Harm replies still not looking at her. “What about me” Mac asks Harm didn’t answer “What about me” she repeats “Just, just don’t worry ok,” Harm says Mac takes a couple of steps back from Harm with a disappointed _expression upon her face. “Fine Harm don’t tell me, I’m going inside” and she walks to the door. “Hey don’t get angry with me,” Harms says to her, which makes her stop. “Why Harm, I’m your best friend, I tell you everything and I hoped that you would tell me everything too but I guess I was wrong.” Mac says as she raises her voice a bit. “Hey don’t make me out to be the bad guy here,” Harm says and walks near her “You never told me that you accepted Mic’s proposal, I found out by Harriet when she noticed that you moved the ring to your other hand, ok. So don’t yell at me for not telling you stuff, because you weren’t the one that told me that.” “Is that what this is about? Me not telling you that I accepted Mic’s proposal that was 3 years ago” Mac says frustrated. “No” he replies “Then what Harm!” Mac yells, “JUST tell me” “I’m not gonna talk about this any more with you, this was between me and Sturgis” “And now it’s between me and you” Mac answers back straight away “I’m not going to discuss this any further” “Fine” with that she walks back inside. “Mac,” Harm says but Mac walked inside “Great, just what I need” he says to himself and also walks inside. Back Inside Mac walks over to the table holding the drinks and picks one up. She turns around to see Harm walk in. He looks at her and then walks over to where is jacket is and puts it on, then walks to the door “Commander” Harriet asks “Harriet hi” he replies “You’re leaving?” “Yeah, I gotta get up early in the morning. But this was a great party, you really out done yourself this year,” Harms says smiling “I’ve gotta go” and with that he walked out the door. Everyone watched including Mac. The Admiral walked over to where mac was standing. “Is everything ok?” he asks concerned “No” was all that Mac could say The Admiral put his hand on Mac’s shoulder and said, “He’ll come around” “I don’t know Admiral” Mac says with a tear dropping from her eye. The Admiral notices it, but says nothing 20 minutes later At some beach Harm didn’t want to go home instead he decided drive somewhere, where he ended up was at a beach. He got out of his car and took off his shoes and walked around in the sand. He kept thinking why couldn’t he just say what Sturgis and him were talking about, then Mac and him wouldn’t of fought and everything would finally be said, but no he didn’t and that caused his best friend and him to fight. Harm’s head was going crazy with sadness and anger, that he didn’t realize that he was being followed. Suddenly he got a pain in his back and fell to the ground. A man with a balaclava over his head stood over him, with a gun in his hand and started to go through Harm’s pockets till he got Harm’s wallet and cars key. After he got his wallet and keys the guy ran leaving Harm alone in the dark. Harm realizes that he has been shot in the back and the blood is soaking into the sand but he can’t do anything, he can’t move. His body was numb and all he could feel is a sharp pain in his back where the man shot him. Still bleeding and on the ground Harm starts slipping in and out of consciousness. Ten minutes went by when suddenly he felt someone’s hand press against his back. Harm cried in pain. And the stranger who’s hand was over his wound said “shhhhh your gonna be ok, just hang on…I called an ambulance there on their way ok, I’m just trying to stop the bleeding.” Harm said nothing to this stranger but listened and thanked god someone was helping him. And then everything suddenly went black. “Hey, hey don’t die on me here. Do you hear me mister?” the stranger yelled, but Harm didn’t respond or even open his eyes. The stranger check for a pulse but there was none so the stranger started CPR, until the ambulance arrived. The paramedics ran down to where Harm and the stranger where. “A gun shot wound?” one of the paramedics asked “Yeah, I think so” the stranger replied “When did he stop breathing?” the same paramedic asked “About a minute ago” “Quick, we betta get him to a hospital” said the paramedic In the ambulance they continued CPR for about another ten minutes until they successfully recieved a weak pulse. But at least it was a pulse. “Do you know this man?” The paramedic asked “No, I was walking when I saw him lying there,” replied the stranger. “Can you see if there is a name anywhere?” asked the paramedic The stranger saw the jacket it was laying on the ground of the ambulance with blood all over it but the stranger searched it and found Harm’s name. “Harmon Rabb Jr” the stranger called out. “Great,” the paramedic replies “John can you see if you can get a number of someone that knows a Harmon Rabb Jr?” He yells to the ambulance driver “Sure” The driver replied Back at the party Roberts Residence “So Harriet, is AJ excited about Christmas?” The Admiral asks “Yeah, he sees all the presents under the tree and thinks there all for him” Harriet replies smiling The Admiral laughs. Harriet notices Mac standing in the corner of the room not communicating with anyone. “Is the Colonel alright sir?” Harriet asks concerned. “I’m afraid her and Commander Rabb had a little fight” the Admiral replies “I hope that I didn’t cause it by telling her where Commander Rabb was?” Bud cuts in on the conversation. “No Bud, you didn’t” the Admiral says looking at Mac. Just then Harriet’s phone rings. “Excuse me” Harriet says and picks up the phone The Admiral and Bud watch her leave. “What a great party huh, sir?” Bud says, “Everyone fighting or not talking, I say this is the best Christmas party yet” Bud says joking. “Admiral,” Harriet calls “It’s for you” “Who is it?” The Admiral asks “The hospital” The Admiral looks at Bud and walks over to the phone and picks it up. “Hello Admiral Chegwiggen speaking” “Hi I’m doctor Berk, I’m afraid I have one of your officers in my hospital St George Hospital it’s a Commander Harmon Rabb Jr, am I right?” “Yes he’s one of mine, but what is he doing there” The Admiral asks very concerned “ I’m sorry to say that he was brought in with a gun shoot wound to the back, right know he’s in the operating theatre” the Doctors says “He’s he going to be ok?” “He’s chance of survival is very slim, at the moment we can’t stop the bleeding.” “Oh, god, thank you doctor for calling, I’ll be right there” “I’ll see you when you get here” the doctor replies and hangs up The Admiral turns around with a shock _expression on his face. “Are you ok Admiral?” Harriet asks “No” he replies “What is it Sir?” Ask Bud Harriet walked over to the CD player and turned off the music. Everyone stood still waiting for the Admiral to speak. Mac moves closer so she can here the Admiral. The Admiral stands there for a minute without a word seeping out of his mouth. “I’m afraid I have bad news,” everyone listens closely “That was a Dr Berk on the phone, he’s calling to tell me that Commander Rabb is in hospital.” Everyone fell even more quiet, Mac stood there looking stunned “wha, why is he in the hospital?” Mac asked not wanting to know the answer. “Harm’s…Harm’s been shot. I’ve been told he’s in the operating room, but they can’t stop the bleeding,” the Admiral went silent for a few seconds “they don’t know if he’ll make it” Everyone was shell-shocked, they all thought how could this of happened they just saw him only 30 minutes ago. The Admiral looked at Mac her eyes started to become watery. “I have to go to the hospital, I hope you’ll all come?” “Yeah” They all replied and grabbed their coats 15 minutes later St George Hospital They all ran to the service desk of the hospital. “A man with a gun shoot to the back was brought in around 20 minutes ago, where is he” The Admiral asks “Admiral,” a man calls out “Admiral Cheggwiggen?” “Yeah” the Admiral replies “I’m Dr Berk, we spoke on the phone” “Yeah, how is he?” the admiral asks concerned There was a long silence before the doctor answered, “Not too good I’m afraid. We were able to stop the bleeding but he lost a lot of blood. I’m sorry but he fell into a coma about 5 minutes ago.” At that point Mac just sunk down into the chair next to her. She couldn’t believe this, not Harm. Why didn’t she stop him from leaving? She asked herself “Can we see him doctor?” The doctor looked at Mac “Sure, he’s in room 5A” Everyone walks off but Dr Berk grabs the Admirals arm “Admiral I just thought that I would tell you that the Commander is one lucky man” “Why’s that?” The Admiral asks “The bullet just missed his spinal cord, if it had hit his spinal cord it would of been certain that the he would be paralyzed for the rest of his life” The Admiral stares at the doctor “Well let us just thank god that it missed” Harms Room -5A St George Hospital In Harms room tears drop from Mac’s eyes because of the sight that is in front of her. Harm is hooked up to a machine that is breathing for him and he has tubes and wires sticking out of him. Harriet sees the tears fall from Macs eyes and walks up to her and hugs her. “He’ll get through this, he has someone to come back for” Mac looks at Harriet this time knowing whom she meant…her. Harriet was saying Harm has her to come back too. This brought even more tears to Mac’s eyes. The admiral walks in to the sight of Mac crying and harm lying there lifeless. “God” he says at the sight of Harm lying there. The Admiral walks over to Mac and places a hand on her shoulder. “He’ll be ok, he’s a fighter” Mac looks at the admiral hoping he was right. “What did the doctor say to you?” she asks wiping her tears away. The Admiral looks away “Nothing don’t worry about it” “I don’t believe it was nothing, please Admiral tell me please” “Dr Berk just told me that the bullet just missed Harm’s spinal cord, if the bullet had hit his spinal cord it’s certain that Harm would have been paralyzed for the rest of his life” The Admiral replied “How lucky can you get?” Harriet said “He’s a very lucky man,” the Admiral added in Mac moved her hand into Harms and sat down on the seat next to his bed “Well,” Bud said “Would anyone like to join me in a cup of coffee?” “Yeah I think we could all go for a cup of coffee” the Admiral replied realizing what Bud was trying to do “Would you like to join us Colonel?” “No thank you I think I’ll stay here for a while” Mac replied Everyone left the room to get some coffee, leaving Mac alone with Harm. “Why did you have to do this to me?” Mac sobs. She placed his hand in hers and laid her head down on the bed with tears streaming down her face. Harriet comes back with a cup of coffee in her hand just in case Mac changed her mind but stops at the door when she sees Mac lying there, crying. She didn’t want to disturb her so she walked away and told everyone else to leave them for a while. 5 Days later St George Hospital “Maybe you should go home Colonel, get some rest,” the Admiral asks “No sir, I’m fine” Mac replies “I’ll make that an order Colonel!” replies the Admiral “Well sir, that’s one order I won’t follow” Mac replies who’s’ standing next to the window turns her head in Harms direction who is still in a coma but is able now to breathe on his own (he doesn’t need a machine to breathe for him and he doesn’t have all tubes and wires sticking out of his face). The Admiral doesn’t reply instead he just sighs Mac is staring out the window at the blue sky when suddenly she hears a moan coming from Harm. She turns her head and runs to Harm so does the Admiral “Harm?” Mac whispers Harm moans again “Ma, Ma, Mac?” Mac is overjoyed “ Yeah, it’s me Harm. It’s me” Mac and the Admiral look at each other. “I’ll get the Dr,” says the Admiral The Admiral runs out of the room in search of the Doctor “Can you open your eyes?” Mac asks him Harms eyes flutter open and looked around the room and then he found Mac’s face. Mac stares at him “Hey sailor” “Hey” Harm replies sleepily “How are you feeling?" Mac asks him “Good, how long have I been out for?” “About 5 days now” Mac replies “Wow…oh, how was the party?” Harm asks her still sleepy “It was great you know, until our little drama and then getting a call from the hospital telling us that you had been shot, it…a turned out better then I had expected” Mac joked “I’m sorry I ruined your night” Harm says “Hey you didn’t ruin it, you just really know how to scare a girl,” Mac says to him A sad look crosses upon Harms face “I’m sorry,” he whispered, “I’m sorry I scared you” “Hey, you’ve done it before, I should be use to it by now” Mac replies looking away from Harm “I’m sorry” he replies reaching up with his hand to move Mac’s face so it’s looking at him. “Well commander, nice to see that your awake” Dr Berk says as he and the Admiral walk into the room. The Admiral also found Bud, Harriet and Sturgis. They all noticed Harm’s hand touching Mac’s face but didn’t say anything. “Hi, did you all miss me much?” Harm asks everyone removing his hand away from Mac face “Not that much, it’s been peaceful” Sturgis addresses him Harm looks at him, then he realizes what was said between the two of them a couple of days ago. “Sturgis, I’m sorry for what I said to you the other day” “Hey, that was my fault I shouldn’t of brought up the subject. So don’t worry about it we’re good now, right?” “Yeah we’re good” Harm replies Mac looks at Harm then at Sturgis, so does everyone else. “How you feeling?” The doctor asks “Good considering, my back is hurting though” “Well you were shot” the Admiral says to him “I remember” Harm says softly Mac places her hand on Harms shoulder. “Did they catch the guy that um, did this to me?” Harm asks “Not yet, but they found your car,” Bud says to Harm “It’s in one piece, nothings wrong with it” “Ha” Harm smiles “I think we should leave the Commander so he can get some rest” Dr Berk says to everyone “Haven’t I slept enough all ready?” Harm response to the Doctor “You need more rest Commander if you want to get out of here!” The Doctor answers back “You’re right I think I need rest,” Harm says Everyone walked out of Harms room Mac stayed behind for a minute. “I’ll be back tomorrow” she went to leave when Harm grabs Mac’s arm “Stay, please” Harm asks her “Harm, you need your rest” “We need to talk” “Can’t we do that tomorrow?” “No, we need to now” “Harm what ever you need to say, say it tomorrow. I don’t want to disobey the doctors orders, you need to sleep” “Mac, but…” Harm says but Mac put her hand over his mouth “Harm, leave what ever you have to say until tomorrow, we’ll talk then. Just sleep,” Mac says, “If it’s important you’ll leave what ever you have to say until tomorrow, ok” With that Mac walks out of Harms room “I love you Sarah” Harm whispered, that’s what he wanted to say to Mac right then and there but she didn’t let him, she walked out. Now he doesn’t know if he he’ll be able to tell her. When he was lying on the ground after being shot he just thought about everything that meant something in his life and Mac was the one that kept popping into his head. He thought about what they have been through together over the years and what they have talked about concerning their relationship. He thought how stupid he was, how scared he is of their relationship. Now he has finally told himself that he loves her, he just doesn’t know if he could ever tell her that. ©©©©The End©©©©
