Lost Chapter 4

Somewhere in Afghanistan

Mac heard steps and they all positioned themselves so that they were ready to welcome the guards. JJ fired the first shot and soon five more men were dead. They moved to the doors leading outside and positioned themselves again.

“This is it guys,” JJ said.

“Semper Fi,” Mac said.

“Semper Fi,” said JJ, Jack and Harry.

In the minutes that followed Mac wasn't sure how many lives she took, but at that moment nothing mattered except from their way out of there.

“I'm hit,” Harry yelled as hey rushed to one of the vehicles.

“The key is in the ignition. You drive Jack,” Mac yelled. She focused on Harry, who were helping JJ into the car despite that he couldn't move his right arm. “Are you okay?”

“I'll live. Let's get out of here,” Harry said.

The car started and Mac joined the others and soon they drove out the prison gates.


It was about five minutes later when Clayton Webb and several Marine squads entered the prison gates and found four imprisoned men that were yelling loudly, and fourteen dead men. After searching through the prison there were no signs of Mac or the other Marines.

“What happened here?” Webb wondered out loud.

Captain Gary Thomas looked at him. “The hell if I know Agent Webb.”


Two hours later Mac, JJ, Harry and Jack were back at the base. JJ and Harry were checked out by Doctors and sent to the Guadalcanal immediately. They both needed surgery. Both Harry and Mac were also checked out. Harry was hooked to an IV and given bed rest for a few days. Mac needed antibiotics treatment, because she had an infection. The Doctor told her that it was a wonder she had been able to function with such a high fever.

“I hear you get to go home today.”

Mac turned around and saw Clayton Webb standing there.

“How is she Doc?” Clay asked.

“She'll be good as new in a few days. The transport to the Guadalcanal leaves in thirty minutes,” The Doctor said. “Good luck, Colonel.”

“Thank you Major,” Mac said before focusing on Clay. “I hear you've gone above and beyond to find us.”

“Looks like you guys didn't need much help,” Webb said with a chuckle.

“Sorry about that, but I was eager to get out of there,” Mac said with a tired smile. She wouldn't admit it, but she was feeling worse.

“Have a nice trip home. I'll stop by sometime,” Webb said and disappeared out the door.


By the time Mac arrived on board the Guadalcanal she was shaking and her head was pounding. What was going on with her? The Doctor who had exterminated her in country told her that the infection came from the cut in her arm, but the antibiotics would take care of it.

“It looks like there's a foreign object inside the wound. I'm surprised the Doctor in country missed this,” Colonel Higgins said as she took a closer look at the wound. “Colonel, I need to give you a local anesthetic and get that out of you.”

“Whatever you need to do is fine,” Mac said. At this point she would agree to whatever just to feel better.

“I'm surprised you've been able to function at all with this infection,” the Colonel said as she prepared for Mac's procedure.

Mac felt dizzy. She swallowed hard and suddenly everything turned dark.


JAG Headquarters

Harm stared at the Admiral. His brain pictured all kinds of scenarios, and the worst of all was Mac's casket being brought home.

“They have been found,” the Admiral said with a smile. “The Colonel is currently being treated for small injuries on the Guadalcanal. She'll be at Bethesda Monday morning at 0900.”

Harm let out a relieved breath. She was fine and coming home to him.

“Apparently they were held at an abandoned prison, and they shot their way out and returned to base on their own,” the Admiral continued.

“They escaped?” Harm was surprised.

“Don't sound so surprised Commander. Marines are trained to survive,” the Admiral said and slapped Harm's shoulder. “Commander. Go home and get some sleep. That's an order.”

“Yes, sir,” Harm snapped to attention.


Harm's apartment

Harm couldn't have been happier at the moment. So happy in fact that he couldn't fall asleep even though he was tired. He thought about his relationship with Mac and how often they had been close to something more than just friendship. Each time one of them would find a reason not to do it. Mostly him.

There was a knock on the door. Harm wondered who was at his door at 0130 in the morning. He got out of bed and put his robe on before walking over to the door and opening it.

“Admiral?”

“Harm, I'm sorry to disturb you at this hour, but I knew you'd want to know right away...”

“Is it Mac?” Harm felt his heart freeze.

The Admiral nodded. “I'm afraid I have some bad news.”
