I'm here for you..............
She was starring into the face of a handsome lieutenant, deciding whether or not he had managed to out smart her today in Court. Voukavik was smart, a little to smart for her liking and cocky with it. He reminded her of someone, someone whom she had met almost 10 years ago.... Harm. Just as she was thinking about Harm her cell phone rang.
“Hello”
“It's Harm”
“Hi, we're just about to go into dinner with the General, can I call you back”
“Sure, call me back”
“Are you ok, you sound kinda funny”
“Call me when you can”
“OK”. She clicked off her cell phone and turned to walk into the restaurant with Voukavik. Everyone was in good spirits, the conference had gone well, the San Diego weather was a much welcomed break from the snow in DC and the even promised to be fun.
She sat at the table next to the General. But something wasn't right. The call from Harm was playing on her mind. He had sounded worried, upset even. Something had happened but what was it. It couldn't be work, otherwise it would have waited until their return in a couple of days. It had to be something personal. The first course of their meal came and she made a half hearted attempt at eating it. The nagging feeling that Harm was in trouble still tugged at her physically as well as mentally. They had a connection. Not something she could explain but she knew when he was in trouble and this was one of those times.
Just as the second course of their meal arrived, she turned to the General.
“Sir would you please excuse me for a moment, I need to make a phone call?”
“Business or personal Colonel?”
“Personal Sir, I need to speak with Cmdr Rabb”
The ears of everyone at the table pricked up. The Colonel needed to speak to Cmdr Radd on a personal matter. This was getting interesting.
“Can it wait until after we have finished our meal Colonel?” The General enquired
“No Sir, I'm sorry it can't”
With the she got up from the table and left the restaurant.
Once outside she dialled Harm's number, his apartment phone rang and rang until eventually he picked it up.
“Rabb”
“Hey, what's up Harm”
“Finished dinner already”
“No, I left so I could call you back”
“You didn't need to do that Sarah”
At the sound of her given name, she immediately knew something was wrong
“Harm, what is it, what's happened? Are you hurt?”
“No not me, it's...........”
She could hear him breathing, and then a sharp intake of breath
“Harm?”
“Sarah it's Mattie........ She's been.........accident............in hospital”
“Harm, tell me, please what did they say?
“Could be paralysised, their not sure”
“Oh my god, Harm. I'm so sorry”
“I can't loose her Sarah, I can't, I love her, I need her, I can't let her go. I can't loose someone else I love”
“Harm your not going to loose her, she knows you love her, she's strong, she'll get through this”
“I always seems to loose the people I love, my dad, Diane, you, I can't loose Mattie as well”
Harm was rambling. Had he just said that he loved her?? He wasn't thinking straight. She tried to put the thought out of her mind and concentrate on the situation now.
“Harm you won't looser her, you haven't lost me and you won't loose Mattie.”
“Can't loose someone else I love Sarah........ can't”
“Harm, listen, I'm going to catch the next flight back to DC. Wait for me at your apartment. I'll come straight to you”
“Going back to Blacksburg tomorrow evening”
“Then I will meet you there, at the hospital”
“You don't need to come, I'm ok”
“Like hell you are Harm, I'm coming back just as fast as I can. You need me Harm and I'm here for you”
“Ok, won't argue but what about the General?”
“I'll sort the General out, leave him to me. Will you promise me you will try and get some rest before you travel again tomorrow”
“Can't sleep”
“Please Harm, promise me you'll try”
“Promise”
“Ok, I'll be there as soon as I can get a flight”
“Ok..............Sarah”
“Yes Harm”
“Thank you”
“See you tomorrow”.
She clicked off the cell phone and headed straight back into the restaurant. She needed a favour from the General and this Marine was in no mood to take no for an answer.
