DAY THREE - SUNDAY

THE MILLENNIUM CENTER
Everyone was late and Mac was irritated.
She and Harm had found another hill to climb and had risked
using the cell to call Webb. They had
kept the conversation short and cryptic.
At 2308 Mac was convinced that Webb had not understood one
word that Harm had said. Then he had
arrived and confirmed that he had men spread out.
Now four minutes and thirteen seconds later she was just as convinced
that the cell transmission had been intercepted and a trap was closing in on
them as they waited. The hunter
becoming the
hunted.
=============================================
Tonight
I'ma give it to you, throw it to you
I want
you to come prepared, ohhh yeah (oh yes)
And I
don't want no minute man, and that's real
Give it
to me some more

THE MILLENNIUM CENTER
Finally Kruger and Bruce appeared. They went straight to the hidden stockpile. Bruce looked at his watch. "I don't like this."
[YOU don't like this.]
Mac thought.
"Chill." Kruger admonished, "You worry too
much. It's not the first time a collection has been off time."
Bruce shrugged "I suppose." He moved away and sat
near a hedge almost landing on Mac. All
the observers held their collective breath.
The two remained unaware of the audience.
Bruce checked his watch.
[It's 2345 twit!]
Mac thought.
"Its 23:45 where are they" He almost wailed.
"There." Kruger pointed I see headlights.
Sure enough the lead headlights of a convoy appeared. The truck pulled to a halt in-front of the
ruin that hosted the arms. "What
the hell happened!!!" Bruce started then. "Sir. I didn't realize that
you were on board."
"Really." An Australian accent floated
across. "And who were you expecting?"
"Sir we knew you were coming... we should have realized
that you would be in the first vehicle." Kruger tried to pacify the boss.
"I just get nervous that's all sir."
As the conversation ensued the arms were being loaded. Webb had seen and head enough and he gave
the signal for the teams to move in.
The Australian accent had sounded all too familiar to Harm
and he made a beeline for the muscular man.
The voice was even more well-known to Mac and she watched the slow
motion movie as Harm took a running tackle at the man.
They rolled along the ground. If she had not understood the reason fraternization was not
allowed in the same chain of command she did now. She watched helplessly as Harm and Mic rolled round each trying
to gain control of the other. If she
got involved in this it had to be well timed. She picked her moment and shot. She hit Mic Brumby in the shoulder blade in
the back. He fell and Webb's people grabbed him.
Mac ran to Harm.
"You ok?"
He nodded "Yes. You shot!? I could have taken him"
"Yes dear." She replied, "But Mic's back is
so broad it was a sure hit."
Webb joined them.
"He ok?" he asked Mac.
Before she could reply Harm butted in "I'm not dead
Webb so don't ask as if I'm not here."
"Yep you're ok." Webb concurred.
Mac moved over to Michael 'Mic' Brumby with a single
question "Why?"
"The economy. Everyone
needs a second form of income."
"Take me home woman." Harm growled at Mac in
disgust.
"Yes dear." Mac patronized.
=============================================
It's
time to set yo' clock back bout as long as you can
Get your
oil changed, I check fluids and transmission
You one
minute FOOLS, you wonder why y'all missin
On the
back of milk cartons and there's no reward
No
regards, close but it's no cigar

RABB'S RESIDENCE
There really was nothing left to do after the raid but grab
their bags and leave.
"Despite what it harbored that place was good for
us." Mac admitted.
"I had all that I need with me all the time." Harm
said.
"You did?"
"Uh huh ... you see ... I had searched and searched for
years and years to find the one to love.
And all I'm going to do is I wrap you in my arms so tight and give
thanks to God above that I found you.
All I will say I love you."
"That is quite a mouthful NAVY." She said, "I
love you too. Just keep us away from Webb."
"Yes dear." He patronized.
