Sitting
in my lab I hear the words I've been waiting for for the past two
hours.
'Off world activation!'
I run out of the lab to the
elevator and down to level 28. Once on the control room I see the
Colonel stepping through the gate, and with a hint of happiness on
his face.
General Hammond steps up next to me.
'Welcome back
Colonel.'
'Thank you sir.'
That's it. No words of debriefing,
just keeping it simple. I meet the Colonel's eyes and smile. To my
great relief he smiles back, then leaves the gate room to go change.
Just knowing he's OK is enough for
me. I just needed to know.

After
getting changed I wander over to Danny's office.
'Hey
Daniel.'
'Hey Jack, how ya doin?'
'I'm good.'
'Really?'
'Yeah,
really,' I reply truthfully. 'It's weird, but seeing "him"
again allowed me to move on I think.'
'That's great Jack. What did
you guys talk about on the planet?'
'Oh, this and that. Just what
Charlie was like when he was little, stuff we used to do together,
you know.'
'That must have been nice.'
'It was.'
Silence,
just for a little while. Daniel goes back to reading a book and I sit
and gather my thoughts.
'So, you wanna go out for a drink
tonight?'
'Sure. You gonna ask Sam and Teal'c?'
'I'll ask
Carter, but Teal'c still hasn't been cleared to leave the base
yet.'
'OK. Meet you in the locker room in say...30
minutes?'
'Cool, see you then.'
Getting off that hideously
uncomfortable stool I turn and walk out of the office in the
direction of Carter's lab.

Looking
at one of the crystals under the microscope reveals nothing to me.
Hardly surprising seeing as it isn't one of the alive ones. Footsteps
approach from down the corridor and slow as they approach the open
door to my lab. Looking up slightly I see the Colonel standing in the
doorway.
'Hey sir.'
'Hey Carter.'
He steps fully into the
room and grabs a stool opposite me. I switch off the desk lamp and
turn to face him fully.
'You OK sir?'
'Yeah, I'm good.'
'Are
ya sure?'
'Yes Carter! I'm fine. Really.'
'That's good to hear
sir. We were worried about you.'
He looks a little shy all of a
sudden.
'Thanks.'
Looking up at me he smiles, and I return the
gesture.
'So, Daniel wants to know if you're gonna come out for a
drink tonight?'
'Sure, why not.'
'Cool. We're meeting in the
locker room in 30 minutes.'
'I'll be there.'
He looks like he's
about to get up to leave.
'Sir.'
He lowers back down onto the
stool again.
'Yeah?'
'If you want to talk about what happened,
you know, I'm always here.'
'Thanks Sam, that means a lot to
me.'
'That's OK. It's just, I know how it feels to lose someone
your so close to, ya know?'
'Yeah, I know.'
There's a part of
me that can't seem to stop smiling, and that part f me seems to think
it's a really good idea to touch my CO on the hand. So I do. I put my
hand on top if his for just a moment.
'Good,' I reply as I take my
hand away again.
'Good.'
It's a little awkward, but in another
strange way, nice.
'So, see you in 30 minutes then sir.'
'Yeah,
30 minutes.
He stands up slowly, winks at me, then turns around
and leaves.
I'm really looking forward to going out tonight.
Really looking forward to it.
