Author's note: due to my lack of diligence in posting last week, I have decided to post two parts tonight.
part three
Question five: “For five points, Harm, when was the first time Sarah show you how much she liked you?” read Sarah. After everyone gave their answers Harm and Sarah looked closely at them.
“We were in Colombia with our favorite spook. Webb had screwed up another operation and Sarah and I had to go in and clean it up.” smiled Harm.
“That’s not entirely true Harm. It was the marines who screwed up. It was a marine who claimed his rifle jammed. It was the marines who left one their own behind. I had nothing to do with that.” replied Webb indignantly.
“That maybe true Clay, but who was it that got himself taken as a hostage in place of a dead marine?” snarled Sarah.
“It was part of a bigger plan that we came up with at state to draw out the drug lord.” explained Webb.
“You keep telling yourself that Clay, maybe some day you will actually believe that yourself.” laughed Sarah.
“So what happen buddy? How did Sarah show you that she like you and when did it happen?” asked Jack. This sounded like another interesting story. Harm smiled to himself as he remembered that day so long ago.
“Interesting story Jack. As you all know the first day we met I tried to charm Sarah. I was wearing my dress whites and gold wings. She had barely survive my immense charms and personality.” began Harm as everyone laughed.
“She had said marines weren’t affected by dress whites and gold wings. I had told her we’ll see. I had a feeling things had changed a few weeks before when we had gone flying in my biplane.
She had been quizzing me all day about the name on the plane. Who was she? Was I still in love with her? Why did I named the plane after her? I suspected she was trying to figure out where she stood with me.” smiled Harm.
“Yeah, yeah, we all know how arrogant all you flyboys are Harm, can you please cut to the chase and tell us when all this happen.” moaned Sturgis.
“Yeah Harm, you aren’t really telling us something we don’t already know.” added Carolyn.
“Okay guys, back to the real story. Webb had gotten himself taken hostage by the drug lord. Sarah and I had come up with a plan. I would visit the drug lord to negotiate for Webb’s release. Sarah would follow ten minutes later with a squad of marines.
Funny thing was she wanted to include a marine who had failed in his duties twice already. Webb wanted him court-martialed. She came in to see me to argue his case. I’m standing there in my dress whites and gold wings.
She had on a pretty blue sundress. She tells me how good I look in my dress whites and gold wings. She’s being quite seductive in her presentation. I left her smooze me for a while before I relented.
I told her she could bring the marine along if she really believed in him. She grabbed my face with both hands and drew close to me. She was inches away from kissing me before she backed off looking embarrass, yet very seductive.” smiled Harm.
“Nice story Rabb, when did it happen?” asked Sturgis.
“25 Oct 1996, Webb was the closest.” replied Harm.
“It must have been the sundress that gave it away.” grinned Jack.
“Yeah, it was a dress, but not that dress. I saw how Sarah acted around Harm when he was escorting the Romanian princess. I saw how Harm rejected all the princess’s advances? And if you saw Sarah in that dress and on Harm’s arm, right AJ.” smiled Webb.
“Ah ..... yes ..... She did look mighty fine that night. Wasn’t that the night they were playing matchmaker too.” grinned the Admiral.
“Yes Sir, that was the night we got Bud and Harriet back together after Bud missed a dinner date when he had a flat tire and no spare. Harriet was upset with him.” replied Sarah.
“Some things never change.” laughed Carolyn.
Question six: “For five points, When was the first time you slept together?” read Sarah. After everyone gave their answers Harm and Sarah looked closely at them.
“You know, I can not honestly understand you people. For the last seven years all I ever heard was Colonel, the Commander and you belong together. You make the perfect couple.
You are in love with Harm, aren’t you. And yet every personal question you ask about Harm and me makes me believe the opposite was really true. That you don’t think we belong together.
While I’ll admit we didn’t have a hot and passionate love life over the last seven years, we did spend a lot of time together.” moaned Sarah in disbelief.
“But Ma’am, that’s what you had always told us. We’re just friends. Even though we may believe that you belong together, it doesn’t actually mean we didn’t believe that you weren’t dating.” replied Harriet.
“But that’s just it Harriet, based on the definition you have given me today, Harm and I have been dating most of the time over the last seven years. We actually saw each other more when we were seeing other people.” moaned Sarah.
“So what story are you going to tell us this time Sarah?” grinned Jack. Harm and Sarah had more stories then ten sailors combine. It was amazing some of the things they had done together.
“Okay Jack, if I don’t keep going we won’t get done today.” replied Sarah.
“We all could come back tomorrow. I’m sure everyone loves the stories you tell Ma’am.” smiled Jason before whispering something sweet into Jen’s ear.
“Alright, this story goes back to the time Harm took me flying for the first time in his bi-plane.” started Sarah.
“The plane he named after you.” laughed Jack. Sarah gave him a look that could killed warning him not to mess with her.
“Anyway we were having a good time flying. Harm even let me take controls for awhile. But before long the engine began to sputter.” continued Sarah.
“You never let me fly the plane.” moaned Bud.
“That’s because you can’t even walk in a straight line.” grinned Harm before continuing.
“I landed the plane in a large field. After checking the engine, I noticed a split in the rubber gas line.
I wanted to stay with the plane, Sarah wanted to go looking for help at a cabin we had seen on the way down. I don’t have to tell you who got their way.”
“He made me feel that his plane was more important than I was.” moaned Sarah.
“Isn’t that always been the theme in your relationship Sarah? His desire to fly versus his love for you.” commented Carolyn.
“Hey! I have always asked her first if I could fly, even when I went back to flying tomcats.” argued Harm.
“Is that true Sarah? Does he really asks for your permission when he flies.” asked Carolyn.
“Yeah, I guess so, but there was one time he didn’t and we all know what happen then.” replied Sarah solemnly.
“What! What happen?” asked Meredith franticly.
“I spent the night in the ocean during one of the biggest storm that hit the east coast in a hundred years.” replied Harm.
“But we’re getting off the topic. We hiked for a couple hours before coming upon the cabin. There wasn’t anyone there, but we heard a gunshot. We went to check it out and came upon three men who looked like they were burying something. It was the forest ranger. We ran back to the ranger’s truck.
I couldn’t hotwire it, so I pop the hood. I got the gas line out of the truck. While Sarah was covering me with a flare gun, she was shot by one of the poachers. We managed to get away from them.” sighed Harm.
“After a while they almost caught up to us. Harm led a false trail to confuse them, but one of them didn’t follow the trail. He found me hiding. He wanted to ..... you know, but when he came at me I killed him with his own knife.” moaned Sarah with a distress looked on her face.
There was a moan of “No ....... ”
“We did get away for the night. I found a small cave for us and built a small fire.” continued Harm.
“And then I spent the night in his arms sleeping and trying to stay warm.” added Sarah with a dreamy look.
“But you know what was bad, I spend the night with him, almost froze my butt off, and he didn’t even cook me breakfast. Can you believe that.” smiled Sarah. Everyone laughed, they couldn’t believe it.
Sarah had been shot, she killed a man, spent the night outdoors freezing, and she was worried about getting fed breakfast the next morning. All they could do was shake their head in amazement.
“I might add, Sarah isn’t exactly a morning person.” smiled Harm.
“You wouldn’t be either if you had buckshot in your leg Flyboy. When I complained about the cold, he called me fat. Do I look fat to any of you?” wailed Sarah.
There was a round of “No!” from the group.
“I didn’t call you fat. I said you had more body fat than I did because you were a woman. You’re the one who called me stick boy.” rebutted Harm.
“You guys are amazing. Even when times are tough you guys joke around and have a good time.” exclaimed Jennifer.
“Yeah, like the month you two spent in Afghanistan.” smiled Gunny.
“What happen in Afghanistan?” asked Meredith.
“I’ll tell you about it later dear.” whispered the Admiral.
“Later we stopped for some water. One of the poacher started shooting at us. I couldn’t get up. Harm then goes off about why woman don’t belong in the marines speech.
I could have killed him right then, but I couldn’t fly the plane. So all I could do was get to my feet and run.” moaned Sarah.
“I had to carry her over my shoulder the last mile to the plane. I change the fuel line. And we finally took off.” smiled Harm.
“Ahh ....! Harmon Rabb Jr. ever the knight in shining armor to the rescued.” laughed Jack.
“So this all happen 28 Sep 1996? Who was the closest?” asked Carolyn.
“Jack is the winner again.” smiled Sarah.
“How come he keeps getting the closest?” moaned Sturgis.
“He’s only seen them together for two days.”
“I told you earlier buddy, It’s a man thing. All you have do is look at them and know they’ve done it. God, some people can be so dense.” replied Jack shaking his head.
Question seven: “For five points, When was the first time you two made love then?” read Sarah. After everyone gave their answers Harm and Sarah looked closely at them.
“I’m quite surprise that anyone got this one right considering we have never given anyone any indication otherwise. And considering that the answers to all the other questions have been so far off the mark.” mused Sarah.
“Considering she got it right I think she should get ten points instead of five like the other questions.” added Harm.
“Commander, I think we need an explanation. I was under the impression if this sort of thing was going to occur you would inform me.” bellowed the Admiral.
“Aaah .... no Sir. What we agreed upon was if or when the time came that Harm and I became a couple you would be the first to know.” argued Sarah.
“Besides the time we’re talking about, it was more the moment and the place we were at that led to the event.” argued Harm.
Now the Admiral was confused. One thing he had learned a long time ago a lawyer could always make something that was so simple sound very complex. He knew he wasn’t going to win this one if they both were in agreement.
“So who was right?” yipped an excited Harriet.
“Carolyn was the one who guessed right.” smiled Sarah.
“Alright ten points for the girls!” yelled Carolyn smiling big time.
“Hey! Wait a minute, I thought you told Jordan and me at the wet down party that you never slept with Harm?” asked a confused Carolyn.
“I lied, you didn’t honesty think I would tell Jordan that Harm and I had slept together. She had enough trouble dealing with me working with Harm as it was. Hell everyone who has known us thinks we were in love with each other back then. We never did do a good job of hiding it.” replied Sarah.
“That’s all very interesting, but for those of us who don’t know when you’re talking about, could you please enlighten us so we will know.” whined Meredith.
“I think you maybe the only one who doesn’t know dear. If I miss my guess, I believe it was the time she went with the Commander to keep him out of trouble while he was following up a lead on the where abouts of his father.” moaned the Admiral.
“And as usual trouble found Harm. He stole a Russian MIG-29 and they shot him down.” added Webb.
“We all thought the Colonel and Commander were dead.” wailed Harriet.
“But you weren’t?” asked Meredith.
“We’re here Meredith, so obviously we weren’t dead.” replied Sarah shaking her head. And here she thought Harriet was the only one who was ditzy.
“We were found by two Gypsies, who took us in. We changed into some Gypsy clothes so we could blend in. When I saw Sarah in the moonlight dressed like a Gypsy ..... it took my breath away. She looked so beautiful, like an angel. And when she smiled ..... what was I suppose to do?” asked Harm.
“We made love that night. It ..... I don’t know ..... seemed so right.” smiled Sarah dreamily.
“Wow! That sounds so incredibly beautiful Ma’am. I guess that was one story Chloe told me that she didn’t embellish.” wailed Jennifer.
“Did you find your father?” asked Meredith.
“That’s a story for another time Ma’am.” answered Harm.
“I’ll tell you about it later dear.” whispered the Admiral.
“Buddy, you’re going to have to tell me that one. I know how much you loved and missed him.” said Jack with a knowing look.
Question eight: “For five points, How many dates have you two gone on?” read Sarah. After everyone gave their answers Harm and Sarah looked closely at them.
“Well I would think it all would depend upon your definition of a date? If it was based solely on how many times Harm has asked me out to dinner and an activity, then the number is actually quite small,
but if you include everything we talked about before this session began, then the number starts to get very large quickly, especially if you include the number of times Harm has cooked me dinner and we watched a movie afterwards.” smiled Sarah.
“Come on Sarah, can’t you be a little more clearer. You’re starting to sound a bit obtuse like Rabb.” yelled out Sturgis.
“Yeah, it can’t be that difficult.” added the Admiral.
“Like everything that involves us Sir, it’s still complicated. It really isn’t that simple.” replied Harm.
“With all the social events going on in Washington we go out formally at least once a month.” smiled Sarah.
“That’s all very interesting ladies, but can we please move on.” bellowed the Admiral.
“All right Harm and I have done up some quick calculations. It’s not accurate, but for these purpose it will be close enough.” agreed Sarah.
“By the way Tiner was the closest at two hundred. I guess he thinks he knows something the rest of you don’t.” smiled Harm.
“We have been to a formal event together in seven years about eighty times.” started Harm.
“We have been out to dinner and an activity such as movies or dancing about one hundred twenty times.” added Sarah.
“We have eaten at her or my place and watched a movie another two hundred and fifty times.” smiled Harm really enjoying himself now as he looked at all the shocked faces.
“While away on assignments we’ve probably enjoyed dinner and a movie together another fifty times.” continued Sarah.
“We could go on further, but I think you all get the picture here. We haven’t even included all the times we worked on cases together.” smiled Harm.
“Truly amazing buddy. The two of you spend that much time together and none of them were aware of it. You’re the man Harm.” grinned Jack as he gave Harm an imaginary high five.
“Well that’s not entirely true Jack, anyone we were seeing at the time were quite aware of it.” replied Harm.
“It’s probably the main reason most of them left. They could deal with Harm and me being so close. They were always jealous and complaining about us not spending enough time with them.” smiled Sarah.
“I wonder why.” huffed Singer.
“Well it didn’t help that everyone at the office kept telling them how great a couple we were. After a while they saw it too and would leave.” sighed Sarah.
Question nine: “For five points, How many times have you gone dancing together?” read Sarah. After everyone gave their answers Harm and Sarah looked closely at them.
“It seems like we have quite a range of answers here, from a low of ten by Meredith to a high of fifty five by Jack.” smiled Sarah.
“Do you know something the rest of don’t Commander?” asked the Admiral.
“You all keep forgetting that I have know Harm for a long time. I believe few people know him as well I do. You get to know a guy pretty good when you room with him for four years.
I know for instance that his mother had him take dancing lessons when he was a teenager. He also won a few academy dance contests. And finally all one has to do is look at the Sarah. If there was ever anyone born to dance it’s her.
She is truly an elegant lady. Why wouldn’t Harm want to take her dancing as often as possible?” smiled Jack.
“Thank you Jack.” blushed Sarah.
“Jen, why do you think Harm and I have gone dancing fifty times?” asked Sarah.
“Well you told me a lot about you and Commander last year when you replaced Lieutenant Singer for two weeks. Then there was Chloe. You know how much she likes to talk about you and the Commander.
Also since I was raised around here, I’m quite aware of how many social events that occur in Washington. Since you’ve both been here nearly seven years, it’s not hard to believe you’ve gone dancing together fifty times.” smiled Jennifer.
“I’m really surprise Harriet and Sturgis didn’t think we had been dancing very often.” grinned Harm.
“Considering how well they should know us.” smiled Sarah.
“I’ve never seen the two of you dancing together,” replied Sturgis.
“So how many times have you two gone dancing?” asked Carolyn.
“Except for when we were dating other people, we would go dancing two or three times a month on average. Obvious when Harm went back to flying we didn’t go out dancing.” answered Sarah.
“You have been going out dancing two or three times a month? That’s impossible!” responded Harriet. She couldn’t believe it. She thought she knew everything that was going on between Harm and Sarah.
“Harriet, you have to understand that we go away on a lot of assignments. Most of them last a week to ten days. We usually go to the Officer’s Club for dinner. There’s usually a band playing on Friday and Saturday nights.” explained Harm.
“And like Jack said, we both like to dance. It’s a lot of fun. It makes going away on assignments bearable.” smiled Sarah.
“So how many times have you been out dancing?” asked Jennifer.
“Well if we include all the times we dance a few dances at the O’ Club, it would be over two hundred fifty times.” grinned Harm. They all sat there stunned. They couldn’t believe how unaware they all had been.
“That’s unbelievable! We all know that you like each other, but I don’t think anyone ever thought that you two spent that much time together.” exclaimed Bud.
“Why not Bud? Isn’t that what everyone wants? For us to be together.” asked Harm.
“Besides Bud, you have been on enough assignments with us to know we spend a lot of time together doing many different things.” added Sarah.
“Yes Ma’am, I guess I have the tendency to forget. It’s been a long time since I’ve worked with both of you.” replied Bud.
“We’re going to have an interesting conversation Tuesday morning.” moaned the Admiral.
