Performing in this saga: Prince sings “Kiss” while "Dreadlocks
Holiday" is sung by 10cc
Feedback: Would be nice.
Author's Note: As I was thinking of this story 100cc came on
the radio. This particular section just
seemed to fit and so I lifted it lock stock and barrel. The HMS series doesn't usually hit you with
two songs.
The HMS series is written in a manner that allows for each
story to be read as a self-contained story or as part of an arc. This story is part of a potential quintet:
·
HMS13a: Kiss
·
HMS13b: This Is It
·
HMS13c: There Is Love
·
HMS13d: It Should Have Been Me
·
HMS13e: Top of the World

MAC'S OFFICE
"Hey Mac?" Harm popped his head in.
"Hey come in." She invited and he plopped into the
empty seat.
"You ever heard of Pronto?"
She leaned back in her chair. "Pronto ... as in immediately? As in answering the phone in
Italy? Or the new exclusive Italian restaurant that just opened up last
month."
He shook his head.
"One question. I ask one
question and I get three answers."
"What can I say? I travel much I read a lot and I watch
the Discovery Channel in between." She grinned. "You just got three
there again. Sorry."
"S'ok. I was
talking about the new exclusive Italian restaurant that just opened up last
month. I managed a reservation for the
two of us tonight at 2000."
She pulled out her PDA and checked. "I can manage that."
He pulled a face.
"I'll pick you up at 1930 beautiful."
"Be on time." She called after him as he walked
out of her office.
================================
U don't

me on
I just
need your body baby
U don't
need experience
2 turn
me out
U just
leave it all up 2 me

FRIDAY - 1511 LOCAL
JAG HQ
FALLS CHURCH, VA
MAIN COURT ROOM
"On the specifications and charges we the members find
Petty Officer Le Clerc guilty."
"Thank you members.
Sentencing will be on Monday at 0900." The Judge banged the gavel.
Harm took one step to bridge the space between himself and
Mac and stretched out his hand. "Congratulations. That's three in a row for you against
me."
"Thanks. Will
she be all right?" Mac nodded in the direction of the PO.
"Yes. We expect
three months in the brig."
"Mmm. Walk with
me to my office."
"Sure."
==========================================
"Have a seat Commander."
"Ooo Commander this is serious."
"Come in!" She answered to the knock on the door.
It was PO Tiner. "Sir, Ma'am the Admiral would like to
see you ASAP"
"Thank you Tiner we'll be right there." Mac
acknowledged "Dismissed."
"Yes ma'am. Uh
ma'am the Admiral said ASAP"
"I said dismissed TINER!"
He snapped to "Yes ma'am!"
"We'll continue this discussion later Commander. Let go
see what the CO wants."
"Aye ma'am."
===========================
FRIDAY - 1531 LOCAL
JAG HQ
FALLS CHURCH, VA
THE ADMIRAL"S OFFICE
"Have a seat people."
They sat.
"Commander. " AJ began with no preamble. "I
understand that you lost again to the Colonel.
The fact that you are losing cases in itself is a concern to me, but the
fact that you seem to be losing to the Colonel exclusively gives me cause for
alarm. You find this funny Colonel!"
"No Sir!" Mac wiped the smirk off her face.
"It's just that I was about to speak to the Commander on that very point
when you sent for us."
Harm's heart sank. He was facing both the Judge Advocate
General AND his Chief of Staff neither of whom knew friends, family or lovers in
their pursuit of the right. "Sir I
would not call three in a row as losing exclusively to the Colonel"
"Oh and what do you call it Commander?! Lost to anyone else lately?"
Harm gulped.
AJ softened.
"People it is apparent that there are distractions in this office.
Distractions that are beginning to affect the work performance."
"Such distractions usually lead to certain
decisions. Sir. There seems to be only
one option available." Mac said.
[One of us must leave.]
"Colonel! I don't have to point out to you that you are
the main source of that distraction!" AJ roared.
"Aye sir." Mac cringed.
AJ calmed down.
"Look people. We need to address this before the next fitness
report is due. Now I have my own thoughts on the matter but I will give you the
weekend to mull it over and we will deal with this on Monday first thing. A request from you will look better than an order
from me."
"Yes sir." Mac said.
"Yes sir." Harm echoed.
AJ signed, "Dismissed."
They snapped to. "Aye sir!" and walked out.
===========================
OUTSIDE THE OFFICE
"Don't suppose we need that little talk any more."
Harm said.
"No. See you at
1930?"
"That's a date."
===========================
U don't
have 2 be rich
2 be my
girl
U don't
have 2 be cool
2 rule
my world

PRONTO ITALIAN RESTAURANT
"Harm. I'll say it again. This place is amazing and
expensive."
"That's why it's exclusive and I saved all my newspaper
round money so that we could be here.
Only the best for my lady."
The waiter walked up with a menu. "Hi I'm Don. I'll be
your waiter for the evening. I shall
leave the menus with you and be back shortly."
As Don walked away Mac instructed. "You keep the wine
list and pass me the food menu."
"Focused as usual."
As they studied the respective menus the background noise of
conversation and music was interrupted by semi automatic gunfire. "No body move!" a voice stated.
Too late the suddenness of the gunfire had had the entire establishment
dive for cover where ever it was to be found.
Harm could not believe it. They
were magnets for this sort of thing.
The ONE NIGHT they get all dolled up and the restaurant gets held up? "Can
you see them?"
"Them? What them.
It's a two by four man up there with a semi automatic. The damn weapon looks bigger than
him." Mac sounded annoyed. "Can you reach my purse?"
"Your purse?" He whispered "Your purse!"
"Yes my purse.
I have a gun in it." She explained.
"She has a gun in it." He mumbled. "What am I the marshmallow man?"
She was peeping at the gunman when she felt Harm place
something in her hand it was not her purse.
She turned and stared at the little box in her hand. She knew instantly
what it was "Now?"
"You know of a better time? I sure as hell don't. Our
lives are such that there will never be a proper time. Just look at the results. A romantic evening
that was supposed to end in a proposal of marriage and we are here crouched
behind a table with one popgun between the two of us. Like that guy out there I came here with an agenda and like him I
am following through. So will you marry
be before I die here in the damn place?"
"Two." She corrected.
"Two?"
"Two guns you use the one in my purse and I'll use
this..." She reached under her dress and pulled out a gun from her garter.
"Remind me not to mess with you."
"You mean you don't know this by now? Yes."
"Yes?"
"Yes I'll marry you.
Keep up Harm. Place the ring on my finger before we lose it when the
action starts to unfold."
"Oooh I love it when you talk dirty to me that way."
He grinned and placed the ring on.
===========================================
U got to
not talk dirty, baby
If u
wanna impress me
I know
how 2 undress me (Yeah)
I want 2
be your fantasy
Maybe u
could be mine
U just
leave it all up to me
We could
have a good time
===========================================
The gunman spotted them. "Hey you."
Everyone looked round.
To whom was this mad man calling?
He repeated "Hey you the supermodels."
Some one hissed to Harm and Mac "He's talking to
you."
"Of course he is." Mac groaned. "Let's go flyboy." She returned
the gun to her garter as Harm placed his in his pants pocket."
Well he looked down at Harm's silver chain he said, "I'll give you one dollar"
Harm replied, "you've got to
be jokin' man, it was a present from me Mother."
He said "I like it I want it, I'll take it off your
hands and you'll be sorry you crossed me you'd better understand that you're
alone. A long way from home."
Had Mac been in a different situation she would have
groaned, as it was the scene from 10cc Dreadlocks Holiday seemed to add a more dangerous
edge to the whole circumstance. She
wanted to get this over and done with.
On queue the police called through a bullhorn. "You in the restaurant. Come out with
your hands up and no one will get hurt.
In the split second it took for the sudden sound to distract the man Mac
landed a kick to his chest that sent him reeling. Harm kicked the firearm away and
leveled his gun at the man. "It's
over." He gave Mac his best flyboy
grin, "This is why I hang out with a certain female Marine - women not girls rule my world."
"Damn straight." She dusted her hands of imaginary
dirt.
===========================
Women
not girls rule my world
I said
they rule my world
Act your
age, mama (Not your shoe size)
Not your
shoe size
Maybe we
could do the twirl
U don't
have 2 watch Dynasty
2 have
an attitude
U just
leave it all up 2 me
My love
will be your food
Yeah

OUTSIDE PRONTO ITALIAN RESTAURANT
"Anyone know why he held us up in the first
place?" Harm asked no one in particular.
"Heard some say that his wife took the kids and filed
for divorce today." Someone
replied.
"Typical." Someone else commented.
Mac and Harm headed for his SUV. "Mac explain to me why you carry not a gun but two on a date
with your boyfriend?" Harm
queried.
"You don't have to watch
Dynasty to have an attitude I'm a Marine do I need a reason to
arrive packing?"
"Not on a date Mac. Not on a date." Harm wailed.
"Seriously.
When I go out I'm not usually that attired." She explained "But
some how whenever you and I go out together something is BOUND to happen. Granted tonight was in the extreme but you
and I separate are ok ... together we are a magnet for the forces of
nature."
"I guess that takes care of the distractions in the
office I'm asking for a transfer to Bobbie Lathum's office. It's safer
there."
"Hey the Admiral will be happy." She commented
flippantly.
She hooked her arm in his as they sauntered towards his
vehicle. What a night!
