On to the story, and I own no show mentioned.

"This West guy, the one that you look like, I just spent a portion of the morning with his wife Cheryl and her friend Jolene, apparently there were so many Sue's when they were growing up, her friend decided to change her name, but that's getting off track. They have four kids, and the youngest is in high school."

"I may have met one of the West kids, he's with the firm here in town. He kept on looking at me like I should know him. Get the feeling that he's not real close to his father, and from what I've heard about the dad, can't say I blame him." Harm said as they walked back to their room. "I was partnered with Jed Brady, he runs a similar type of firm here in Palm Springs. If you don't mind, I said that we'd have a quick lunch to coordinate getting the firms linked up."

The weekend was supposed to be work free, but she'd already had to put on her legal hat to free Harm from jail so she didn't mind in the least, especially when he'd found a like minded attorney in the child advocacy arena. "I don't mind in the least, I want to meet the guy."

After a quick shower, Harm and Mac met Jed Brady at one of the restaurants at the resort. As they were walking into the building they saw Renee and Cyrus get into a shuttle bus that would take them on a tour, any conversation with them would obviously have to wait for a later time. They were quickly seated with the dapper older gentleman.

"Jed Brady, I'd like for you to meet my wife, Sarah McKenzie Rabb."

Jed stood, "It is nice to meet you, and an honor to meet one of our country's military officers. Harm told me that you are now a judge with Navy JAG. How does it feel to be one of the few, the proud"

"the Marines." Mac joined in as they all sat down.

"I served in the Marines, was stationed in Korea after the war, was out before the Vietnam War started." Jed explained. "I went through school on the GI bill. But enough about me, Harm told me that you have two young ones at home, I was never blessed to have children, but my brother Mike had three and when he remarried after his wife died, he adopted the girls, so I have plenty of grand-nieces and nephews. In fact, one of Mike's girls lives here in Palm Springs. Cindy is a DJ with one of the radio stations here in town."

Mac smiled, it was a small world. "Apparently Harm and Cindy went to school together, back in first grade." Mac said with a little grin. "According to my husband, she was his first crush."

Harm could tell she was just giving him a hard time. After that the three got down to business and found that the two firms would do well together in coordinating and even combining efforts in California and elsewhere.

After lunch Harm and Mac went shopping, looking for birthday gifts for both Tom and Jared who had birthday's coming up in the next few months. They wanted to find unique gifts, but things that the boys would actually like and or play with. It took awhile, and a couple of shops but they found what they were looking for.

One block from the store that sold unique toys was a gallery that Trish had recommend that they go to, when they got there they found that West's reputation had preceded them as they were watched very closely, and were treated rudely until Mac spoke up.

"Harm, your mother, Trish Burnett, recommended this place, they must be under new management, because I'm sure that the state president of the art gallery association would not recommend this place to her son if he were to get the sort of service we are." Mac had used the tone of voice she often used in court to get the attention of the prosecution and the defense when they were being recalcitrant. It was amazing how quickly the staff moved when the name Burnett was used." Even though they liked a piece that they were considering giving to Mattie and Josh, they didn't like the piece enough to buy it. As they walked out the door, the last thing the staff heard, was, "I'm telling Trish about this."

Across the street was a new gallery, and they decided to try again, in it they saw something that appealed to them immediately, and Mac saw someone that she recognized. Cheryl West.
