----------------------------------------------

Parker sat before the open fire. She just sat. After all it was a snow day … well it had been it was now the dead of night. Everything had come to a halt. She imagined the ants still toiled at the Center but she had been stuck at home for the whole day.




It was unique.



It wasn't often that she got to just be. So here she was staring at the portrait of herself as a pre-teen by Jarod. The damned thing seemed to mock her. What happened to that young girl? It seemed to ask.



She knocked back the vodka martini and reached for the pitcher on the nearby table for a re-fill. She had a better thought. Why had she given up pretending for this dead end job?



Her last assignment had been fun. She'd been Lt. Commander Katline Pike Harvard lawyer in the NAVY. She in the NAVY of all places! She smiled, as she remembered her partner Lt. Commander Harmon Rabb Jr. he looked good an he knew it!



[FLASHBACK]



Kate: Those wings look good on you. (Points to the gold wings on the uniform)

Harm: Well, you know what they say about gold wings and dress whites. They'll get you in bed anywhere.

Kate: Except here.




[END OF FLASHBACK]



Was she crazy? Except here?



But maybe he did care somewhere deep down inside. Lord knew he had virtually stalked her on the Ares.



[FLASHBACK]



Kate: Why are you so curious?

Harm: It's my nature




[END OF FLASHBACK]



She snorted. Curios indeed she was one to talk. Here she was running down every ridiculous clue to catch Jarod. At the thought of Jarod she did the inevitable quick comparison of Jarod to Harm of like as a Naval Lawyer vs life with the Center. Was there really a basis for the comparison?



She’d actually made Commander in that damned Pretend. The Judge Advocate General himself had offered her tenure at the office and she’d just walked away.



Talk about the challenge! Harm was virtually running a harem. The legal challenge would have been nothing compared to seeing which one of them he would end up with.



[FLASHBACK]



Harm: Would have been nice having you around

Kate: Harm the last thing you need is a third female to complicate your life.

Harm: Where do you get three?

Kate: Rene Me and Mac.




[END OF FLASHBACK]



She looked at the portrait again.



It looked back at her. “What you looking at!?” She snarled at it.



It mocked her. “Jarod – Harm. Harm – Jarod.”



She leaned over and reached for the phone. Snow day or not it was time to break the isolation – reach out and touch someone as it were.

The male voice came through the wire.



“It’s me.”



“Yes.”



“Any leads on Jarod?” She asked Sydney.
