Harm’s Apartment
Harm was sitting in his recliner trying to relax and sucking down a few beers. He and Mac had been back from Australia for four months now. Because he had seen Mac kissing Brumby passionately after the Admiral told him not to look back, Harm started distancing himself from Mac. He started by dating Renee more seriously. He was hurt and felt betrayed by Mac when she came back with Brumby’s ring on her right hand. How could she have his ring on her hand. A couple of days before she had wanted to start an imitative relationship with him. He couldn’t understand what had happen in those two days.
He knew that Mac couldn’t love Brumby. She never wanted to have anything to do with him. Until now that is. Now she was practically engage to him. Or so he thought. What had upset him the most was she hadn’t given him the time he needed to think about how she felt, how he felt, and what he wanted to do about it. He need more time to respond to her request of taking their relationship to an another level. She had surprised him. He hadn’t expected her to express her feelings for him in that manner. He had been busy conducting a murder trial. All his focus had been on the trial. He knew she must have been thinking about this for quite some time and was disappointed that he hadn’t responded the way she had wanted him to. She never did anything like this on the spur of the moment. She hadn’t realized that he needed some time to think over what she wanted. But then again he hadn’t expressed himself clearly either He hadn’t asked for more time. He had assume she would have waited. Unfortunately as it turned out he had only that day. And there wasn’t anything he could do about it as an officer and gentleman as long as she wore Brumby’s ring.

Mac’s Apartment
Mac was relaxing on the couch. She was considering whether or not she should accept Mic’s proposal. She was ready to settle down, get married, and start a family. She wanted to do this with Harm. But he had grown more distant the last few months. She could hardly talk to him anymore. As far as she was concern he had his head up his six dating the blond bimbo Renee. She knew he was doing this to spite her for wearing Mic’s ring. She had hope that wearing Mic’s ring would serve as a wake up call to Harm. To let him know what she wanted and needed. That she wasn’t going to wait around forever for him to want an adult loving relationship with her. She decided to give him another month to wake up and tell her how he felt about her before she would accept Mic’s proposal. After all Mic did love her and he was a good man. He would treat her right.

Mic had returned to DC last month. He had reserved his commission in the Australian navy to pursue Mac more aggressively. He had taken a job as a civilian attorney in a Washington Law firm. Mac was seeing him more often on a regular basic. She was getting more and more fond of him. Mic was treating her like a queen. Meanwhile Harm still hadn’t made an effort to tell Mac how he really felt about her.
She had had enough. She told Mic she would marry him. They set a wedding date for 23 July. She asked Harm out to lunch so that she could tell him that she had accepted Mic’s proposal. That they were getting married on 23 July and she hoped he would come to the wedding. Secretly she wanted him to tell her not to marry Mic. That he loved her and wanted to be with her. But instead he said if that was what she wanted then he was happy for her and wished her all the luck in the world. That he would always be her friend and be there for her. She was very disappointed. She thought for sure that this would finally force him to respond, to tell her that he loved her. But such was not the case.

A month later Harm went in to see the Admiral to request leave. He had two weeks accrued. He needed time to think about what he was going to do next The Admiral granted him leave. The Admiral thought that Harm needed time to deal with the announcement of Mac getting married in a month. That maybe he would get his head out of his six long enough to tell Mac not to marry Mic. That he would tell her that he loved her.
“Sir, request permission to take leave.” asked Harm quietly. “Permission granted Commander. May I ask why?” questioned the Admiral. “Yes Sir, I need to take some time off to think about my future.” replied Harm solemnly. “Is the Colonel involved in your thoughts of the future Commander?” asked the Admiral curiously. “I’m not sure Sir.” replied Harm wondering why the Admiral was asking so many questions. “Very well Commander, dismiss.” replied the Admiral.
Later that day Harm handed the Admiral his resignation papers. He would be resigning his commission effective 5 July. He had come to the realization that he didn’t want to be just friends anymore with Mac. He wanted her as a man wants a woman. If he couldn’t have her then he didn’t want to be here at Jag anymore. “What is this Rabb? What’s the story? I thought that you were going to take two weeks of leave to think about this?” bellowed the Admiral angrily. “I’m sorry Sir. But it’s time to move on. I’m tired of the travel. I’m tired of putting naval personal on trial for making simple honest mistakes. But most of all I’m sick and tired of dealing with the regulations that are designed to make life miserable. I’ve simply had enough.” replied Harm solemnly.
“What is this really about Rabb? Is it because the Colonel is marrying Brumby?” asked the Admiral. “It is a big part of it. But not the main reason. The regulations say no fraternization. For someone of my military bearing it meant keeping my relationship with Mac on a more professional level. I’m not supposed to have a normal man/woman relationship with her All it did was force us into relationships the last four years that we really don’t want to be in just so we will have a little love in our lives. We end up settling for what we want with someone else. We could have been married and have a couple kids by now if it weren’t for the regulations.” responded Harm forcefully.
“We could have worked something out Commander. You two are my best team.” offered the Admiral sincerely. “That’s the problem, you shouldn’t have to Sir. I want to thank you for being my CO the last five years. It’s been an honor to work for you Sir. Please don’t say anything to anyone until my official separation date.” requested Harm. “What about Mac? Aren’t you going to stop her from making the biggest mistake of her life by marrying Brumby? Aren’t you going to do something Commander?” asked the Admiral. “No Sir. She’s a big girl. It was her decision to get engaged and it was her decision to get married. She’s made her bed, now she’ll have to sleep in it.” replied Harm bitterly.
“Don’t you love her Harm? The love of a good woman like Mac doesn’t come around every day. It may be a long time before you find someone like her again.” stated the Admiral with passion. “Yes, I love her, but I wasn’t ready to start the type of relationship that she was looking for when she asked me. She surprise me when she did. I needed more time to think about what she wanted but she didn’t give me the time to do so before she took Brumby’s ring.” continued a bitter Harm “If that’s the way you want it. We’re going to miss you around here Commander.” replied the Admiral. “Thank you Sir I’m going to miss the people of JAG too.” responded a dejected Harm.

The next day Mac was in the bullpen area. She had been looking for Harm most of the morning but couldn’t find him anywhere. She hadn’t seen him all morning and she was a little worried. She saw Bud and walked over to talk to him. “Bud, have you seen Harm today?” asked a concerned Mac. “No Ma’am. I believe he is on leave for the next two weeks.” replied Bud. “That doesn’t sound like Harm It’s not like him to take off without telling me where he’s going.” responded Mac as she wondered what was wrong with him that he wouldn’t talk to her before leaving. “With all due respect Ma’am, that was when the two of you were an item. But now that you’re marrying Commander Brumby. I don’t think he’s taking it too well. I’m sure he thought you would sooner or later send Brumby packing back to Australia like the rest of us.” replied Bud in an apologizing manner.
“Bud, we were never an item. And what do you mean like the rest of us Bud?” questioned a hurt Mac. “Well everyone thought you and the Commander would one day get married once you both decided it was what you both really wanted. I know the Commander loves you Ma’am. He worships the ground that you walk on. And I’m pretty sure you love him too, at least that’s what Harriet keeps telling me.” rambled Bud. “Yes, I do love him, but Harm has never expressed to me that he loves me. I tried to get something started when we were in Australia. But he turned me down.” responded Mac defensively.
“With all due respect Ma’am, he was focusing on a murder trial. I don’t think he was expecting you to express your feeling for him at that time.” replied Bud as he try to defend his mentor. “It seem to me he was rejecting me. He couldn’t let go.” wailed Mac as frustration was beginning to set in. “I think all he needed from you was a little more time Ma’am. To think over what you said to him.” begged Bud. “All I wanted was a sign from him that he wanted me as much as I wanted him.” wailed Mac. Was Bud right. Did she really catch Harm unprepared to deal with her request. Was it a mistake to let Mic’s ring stay on her finger. She needed to find Harm to talk to him. “Well he may not have said it in so many words Ma’am. But the way he looks at you and talks to you. You can see that everything he does is to please you and make you happy.” stated Bud passionately.
“It doesn’t always seem that way to me. We’ve been fighting quite a bit lately. And it started long before I put Mic’s ring on my right hand. I can’t wait forever for him Bud. I’ve given him ample time to tell me he loves me. But he hasn’t done so. I don’t think he ever will.” wailed Mac as she tried to hold back the tears that were beginning to form in her eyes. “Why do you think he and Brumby were fighting back in Australia?” asked Bud. “Because they don’t like each other.” replied Mac with distained“Well that maybe true on some level but it wasn’t the real reason Ma’am. They were fighting over you. They both want you.” replied Bud fighting for his mentor Harm. “Then why didn’t he say anything?” asked Mac.
“You didn’t give him the chance Ma’am. He wanted to talk to you about it that night you had dinner with Brumby. He wanted to tell you how he really felt about you and to ask you to be patience a little while longer while he sorted through his feelings. As much as he loves you he wasn’t sure that you loved him. Once you let him know how you felt and what you wanted he had to work it out in his own mind what it all meant. Any relationship between the two of you would mean some major changes at work and possible career implications. But once you took Brumby’s ring he couldn’t tell you Ma’am, not as long as you were wearing Brumby’s ring.” replied Bud as he rambled on for what seem like forever to Mac, but was very informational.
“What do you mean Bud? It was a friendship ring for six months He even said so himself at the airport. He knew that it only represented what I was looking for with him, a loving relationship that could some day lead to marriage He was just being stubborn and pigheaded like always when he can’t control the situation.” replied a very confused Mac. “That maybe so Ma’am, but to a man of the Commander’s character, the ring represents your commitment to Brumby. He had to respect the ring because he’s an officer and a gentleman. You don’t move in on another man’s woman even if you don’t like him. He could only express his love for you after you gave Brumby back his ring or took it off.” responded Bud.
“Are you sure Bud?” asked Mac with the first ray of hope she had in a longtime. “Yes Ma’am. It’s the code.” replied Bud. “The code?” asked Mac. “The code of being an officer and a gentleman. Even Commander Brumby respects the code.” replied Bud earnestly. “Thank you Bud.” responded Mac as she went back to her office. After work Mac decided to go over to Harm’s place to talk to him. He wasn’t home. Where was he? She decided she would try to catch up to him later. She would call him later that night. But when she tried later she met the same lack of success. She would see the Admiral tomorrow at work. Surely he would know where Harm was.

The following week Mac went in to see the Admiral. She had been unable to get a hold of Harm all week. He wasn’t anywhere he usually was during the weekend either. She even checked out the airfield to see if he had taken his bi-plane anywhere. But he hadn’t. She wanted to know where he was and what he was doing. She knocked on the Admiral’s door. “Enter!” bellowed the Admiral. “Sir, do you know where Harm is? asked a concerned Mac. She hoped the Admiral had an idea where he was. “Not precisely. He said he needed to get away by himself for awhile. He had a lot to think about. He’ll be back next week. I don’t think he’s dealing too well with your impending marriage to Brumby.” replied the Admiral with reluctance. He wanted to tell Mac about Harm leaving the Navy but he had to respect Harm’s wishes for now.
“Are you sure Sir? I need to talk to him about something. It’s very important.” wailed Mac. “What’s this about? Is this about your wedding Colonel?” asked a confused Admiral. “Not directly Sir. Some information has been brought to my attention last week. There apparently has been some miscommunication between the Commander and myself. I need to straighten it out with him before I get married next month.” “Well I don’t know what to tell you at this time Colonel.” replied the Admiral sullenly. “Thank you Sir for your time. Will you let me know if you hear anything from him.” pleaded Mac. “Yes Colonel, I will, dismiss.” replied the Admiral as he shook his head after she left the office. Why couldn’t these two get it together. They seem to belong to each other.

Harm was due back yesterday on Wednesday. Mac hadn’t seen him yesterday or today. She checked around the bull pen to see if anyone had seen or heard from him. He hadn’t been seen by anyone including Bud. She was getting very worry and upset. She went in to see the Admiral. “Sir, Where’s the Commander? Do you know where he is?” asked Mac. “He resigned his commission effective 5 July, Colonel. He’s gone.” replied a solemn Admiral. “What do you mean he’s gone Sir? He didn’t say anything to me about resigning. He didn’t say goodbye or where he was going. Why did he resign Sir?” asked a very confused Mac “I think you know the answer to the why he resigned, Colonel. As to where he went, I don’t know. Why he didn’t say goodbye to you, I can only assume he didn’t want to disrupt you wedding plans.” replied the Admiral.
“But Sir, I need to see him. I need to talk to him. It’s very important.” wailed Mac. Why is he doing this to me Mac asked to herself. “I don’t know what I can do for you Colonel. He didn‘t say where he was going.” replied the Admiral. “Permission to take leave to find him Sir.” pleaded Mac hopefully. “Permission granted and good luck Sarah.” replied the Admiral. Maybe there was for them after all.
Mac went back to her office to make a few telephone calls. She was very upset that Harm had resigned his commission without telling her anything about it. Harm was her best friend. He had helped her deal with so many things that she was a shame of from her past. He told her he would always be there for her. Where was he now. She decided to called his mother Trish first. Mac asked her if he had seen him or talked to him in the last two weeks.” “Hello Mrs. Burnett, this is Sarah MacKenzie, Harm’s partner.” started Mac “Hello Sarah, please call me Trish. How are you doing Sarah?” replied Trish wondering why Mac was calling. “I’m ok Trish, have you seen or talked to Harm recently? He’s been on leave the last couple of weeks. I really need to talk to him.” continued Mac. Please Harm, I hope you talked to your mother about this.
“No Sarah, I haven’t heard from him since he told me you were getting married to someone else. He was totally devastated when you told him. I always thought that the two of you would eventually get married and have kids. We talked half the night. He didn’t know what he was going to do. You were his life. He was always talking about you and how you made his life better. I think he thought you were always going to be there with him. He probably went to talk with his grandmother. He usually goes to see her when he’s unhappy.” replied Trish. She was hurting because her boy was in so much pain. “It was never my intention to hurt him Trish. I love him so much It seems like I have loved him my whole life. But I can’t wait for him forever. I want to be loved and have children.” wailed Mac as tears came to her eyes.
“I know that Sarah. We all need to be loved. I’ve been telling him that since the day he met you. You are all he ever talks about He should have express his love for you when he knew for sure. I told him if he waited too long to express his love he could lose you. But sometimes people have to learn the hard way.” replied a solemn Trish. “That’s why I want to talk to him. I want to give him one more chance to tell me he loves me and wants me.” cried Mac. “Thank you Sarah. I know if you push him hard enough he will respond. I don’t think he really wants to live his life without you in it.” replied a hopeful Trish. “Thank you Trish. I’ll call his grandmother and see if she’s heard anything from him.” replied Mac hopefully. “Good luck Sarah. I hope you find him before it’s too late.” prayed Trish.
An hour later she was on the phone with Harm’s grandmother Sarah. She was nervous. This could be her last chance to find Harm. To get him to tell her how much he loved her and wanted her. “Hello Mrs. Rabb, This is Sarah MacKenzie, Harm’s partner.” started Mac. “Good afternoon Sarah. It’s so nice to hear from you. Please call me Sarah.” replied Grandma Sarah. “Have you seen or heard from Harm. I need to talk to him about something very important.” wailed Mac in desperation “Does this have something to do with you marrying Brumby?” asked Grandma Sarah.
“Did he tell you about that? It sort of does, but not really I love Harm but he has been very distant to me the last few months. I was hoping he would talk to me about how he really feels about me. But he hasn’t been forth coming. Though from what I’ve heard from others, he doesn’t seem to have trouble speaking his mind to them about how he feels about me I seem to be the only one he has difficulty telling his true feelings to.” continued Mac. “He’s not alone dear. That’s true for most people. It usually is the hardest thing for most people to do, to tell the person they love that they love them.” replied Grandma Sarah. “I didn’t think he really loved me. That was why I decided to marry Mic. Then a mutual friend of ours told me about this code of honor that Harm lives by. I wasn’t even aware of this. I need to talk to him about it.” pleaded Mac.
“Well he was here for a few days last week. But I haven’t seen him since then. I don’t know when he will be coming back again” replied Grandma Sarah. “Do you mine if I come up and visit with you and check around the area?” begged Mac hopefully. This was the first lead she had in finding Harm. “I would be very happy to have you come up and visit. He has told me so much about you. I feel as if I already know you. I know he loves you very much.” replied Grandma Sarah. “Why does everyone keeps telling me that. All I know is Harm has never told me anything about how much he loves me. I tried to initiate something with him six months ago But he said he couldn’t let go.” wailed Mac as tears started to flow down her face. “When would you like to come up Sarah?” asked Grandma Sarah. “Would tonight be too soon?” asked Mac hopefully “Not at all Sarah, I’ll keep a light on. I’ll see you when you get here. We can talk some more when you get here.” replied Grandma Sarah. “Thank you Sarah.” cried Mac.
After the phone call Mac went out into bullpen to let Bud know that she would be away for a few days. He wasn’t to say anything to anyone about it. Mac went home and packed a bag for her trip. She knew Grandma Sarah was her best bet to find Harm. She needed to talk to her about him. To see if he really loved her like everyone was telling her. “Bud, I’m going away for the next few days.” stated Mac. “Are you going to look for the Commander Ma’am?” asked Bud. “Yes I am, I’m going to see his grandmother. What ever he’s doing it’s going to be in the area where she lives. He’s going to want to be near her.” replied Mac. “What do you want me to say if someone asks where you are?” asked Bud. “You mean Mic don’t you?” responded Mac to a question she didn’t want to think about. “Yes Ma’am.” replied Bud. “Tell him I’m on a case and you can’t reach me.” responded Mac.
Mac drove up to Harm’s grandmother’s farm. It was a long six hour trip. She stop along the way for gas and bite to eat. She was quite tired when she finally got there. Grandma Sarah fixed her something to eat. She had heard from Harm about his marine’s appetite. They sat down on the swing on the porch and enjoy the rest of the evening talking.
Meanwhile Brumby had been trying to reach Mac all day. He stop by JAG to see if she was around but couldn’t find her. He saw Bud walking towards his desk and went over to talk to him. “Hey Bud, have you seen Sarah today?” asked a disgruntled Mic. “Not lately Sir. She’s gone for the day. She said she wouldn’t be in the next few days.” replied Bud stoically. “Did she say why?” asked Mic impatiently “No Sir. But I think she’s out of town on a case.” replied Bud. “Do you know when she’s going to be back Bud?” Mic asked again as he was getting pissed. If he didn’t know better he thought Bud was stonewalling him. But Bud wouldn’t do that to him. He was his best man. “No Sir.” replied Bud.
When Harm went away on leave he first went to see his grandmother He explained to her he was leaving the navy and was going to practice law closer to her. He had visited the local law firms around the state capital of Harrisburg about a job. He was particularly interest in law firms that dealt with the State and Federal governments. He was very surprise that most of the law firms he visited knew who he was. That he was the navy’s golden boy. The amount of money they were offering him was staggering. It was a lot more than he imagined he would received. He took a job an hour away from his grandmother. This would allow him the opportunity to visit her more often. He rented a very spacious apartment that was twice the size of his DC apartment, but for half the cost. It was only fifteen minutes from work. He started working at his new law firm on 6 July.
Harm spent the next week furnishing his new apartment. Each night he would finished up a room. Then after he was finish he would sit down with a beer or two in his new Lazy boy recliner. He would find himself thinking about Mac and her upcoming marriage. As much as he wanted to be there to support her, he couldn’t. There was no way he could stand there and watch her get married to someone else, particularly Brumby. He loved her too much. He wished he had the guts to tell her how he really felt about her. He wanted so much to tell her to not marry Brumby. He knew she would be hurt that he wasn’t there for her That he had deserted her like every other man in her life, but he had to move on with his life without her. It was going to take a long time to get over losing Mac. He would get over her quicker if he didn’t see her everyday. In time she would forget about him. Sooner if he wasn’t there.
9 July 00
Grandma Sarah’s farm
Mac spent the weekend talking with Grandma Sarah. She wanted to see if she agreed with Bud’s assessment. That Harm was in love with her and would never express it as long as she was wearing Mic’s ring. Grandma Sarah agreed. “I’m sorry to say but Harm is a proud and stubborn man. He would stand by his principals even if it meant losing the love of his life, his soul mate, the woman he wanted to have his children with, and spend the rest of his life with.” Mac was quite surprise when she heard all this. It was true, Harm loved her. Her plans to push him into a commitment had actually kept him from expressing himself. Why had she play this game of chicken with Harm.
She knew Harm better then she knew herself. She should have known that you can’t push Harm in to doing something that he wasn’t ready to do. Why didn’t she know Harm wouldn’t respond in the manner that she wanted him to. Why did he have to be so stubborn and self-righteous? Because as she thought to herself, she had waited for him for three years. Put up with him dating other women. Allowed him to return to flying for six months. She thought that she had waited long enough. That it was finally her turn to be with Harm. To enjoy a loving relationship with him. She was ready to move on to the next phase of her life, to be a wife and mother.
Mac spent the following week checking out the Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Harrisburg area law firms. She knew Harm was distancing himself from her, but he wouldn’t want to be too far away from his grandmother. She called all the law firms both large and small looking for a recently hired naval jag lawyer She thought Harm was more than likely to be in one of the major cities since he was use to the advantages that the city had to offer. But she had no such luck. She went back to Grandma Sarah's farm disappointed. But she wanted to talk to Grandma Sarah again. “Did you hear from Harm. Has he been back or called you.” asked Mac. “I’m sorry Sarah, but he hasn’t called me since you left. But I’m sure he will soon.” replied Grandma Sarah.
“I have to go back to JAG for a few days to check in with the Admiral. I have some other sources I can check out to see if they know where Harm is.” Mac told Grandma Sarah. “I’ll call you if I hear from him Sarah. Don’t get too discouraged sweetie. I’m sure I’ll hear from this week.” Grandma Sarah told Mac.
During the week Mac was gone Brumby was getting upset and worried when he hadn’t heard from Mac. They were getting married in two weeks. They still had things that needed to be done. He had gone into JAG to see the Admiral He wanted to see if he had heard anything from Sarah. He had thought she would be taking care of last minute details for the wedding next Sunday. But she was nowhere to be found. “Sir, do you know where Sarah is?” pleaded Mic. “I don’t know where she is. I thought she needed some time off to get ready for the wedding. I haven’t seen her since last week when she asked for some the time off.” replied the Admiral. “I’m worried about her Sir. I can’t seem to find her. You don’t suppose she with Rabb?” asked Mic nervously all the while hoping she wasn’t with him.
“I doubt it Mic. Rabb resigned his commission a month ago I haven’t seen or heard from him since.” replied the Admiral sullenly. “I didn’t know about that. Does Sarah know?” asked Mic with apprehension. “Yes, but I wouldn’t worry about it. Harm is getting out of her life just like every other man before him. I think he didn’t want to disrupt the wedding plans at the last minute.” replied the Admiral. “I’m sorry to hear that. He was a great lawyer and represented the navy very well.” responded Mic with glee. “That he did.” sighed the Admiral.

Mac stopped by her place to get a change of clothes and one of Harm’s old navy t-shirts that he had left there. When she really miss him while he was away flying she would put it on to sleep in. It would comfort her giving her a sense that he was still with her. She had decided to spend time at Harm’s place. Until she found Harm she didn’t want to deal with Mic. She didn’t want to have to explain to him where she had been or what she was doing. When she went to sleep in Harm’s bed she could still smell him, his scent. She slept very soundly.
The next day Mac stopped by the office. She wanted to inform the Admiral what she had been up to and that she hadn’t found Harm yet. That she had called his mother and visited with his grandmother. She spent some time catching up on paperwork. “Any luck Colonel? Have you found Rabb yet?” asked a curious Admiral. “No Sir. He had visited his grandmother a couple of weeks ago. But he hasn’t been back to see her since. He hasn’t talked to his mother in a couple months. I’m assuming he’s going to stay some where close to his grandmother. Though where that is I don’t know.” replied Mac hopefully.
“You do know that you wedding is only six days away.” the Admiral informed Mac for confirmation. “Yes Sir.” replied Mac. “You know Brumby was in here looking for you last week, Colonel?” continued the Admiral. “No, I didn’t. I’m sorry Sir. What did you say to him?” asked a concerned Mac. “I gave him the run around. But you’re going to have to talk to him.” replied the Admiral. “I know Sir. But I need to resolve some issues with Harm first before I talk to Mic.” “You could postpone the wedding until after you find Rabb. You shouldn’t get married if you’re not ready Colonel.” replied the Admiral trying to convince her not to get marry if it was Harm she wanted. “I’ll think about it Sir and let you know.” replied Mac. She knew he was right, but she couldn’t think about that right now. All she could think of was finding Harm. “Good luck in your search Sarah.” wished the Admiral. “Thank you Sir.” replied Mac.
