What if Sam had pulled the short straw visiting Jack instead of Daniel in Shades of grey??

Sam took a deep breath before knocking on the door to her CO's house, damn straws still she had to do, no matter how tempted she was to run she checked down the path again to her car it would be so easy to just run, so easy instead she reached to the wooden door

Knock, knock, the door swung open, a pissed O'Neill opened the door, Sam fought the temptation to run away, instead stepping forwards slightly

"Um hi" she gave him a small smile,

"What do you want?" he replied bluntly setting Sam off balance,

"I'm not, ah…I'm not sure to tell you the truth. I'm here to talk, I guess." She blurted out; mentally chiding herself well put Sam really eloquent,

"So talk" he replied rudely taking a large swig of his beer, Sam thought he was being really rude and decided on calling him she could be just as stubborn or at least she was damn well going to give it a good go

"You got another one of those" she asked hoping to put him more at ease of he saw she wasn't on military business the least it meant she wouldn't be able to drive for a while,

"Yes" he replied, Sam had now accepted he wasn't going to make it easy her stubbornness was the only thing keeping her there, and the fact he didn't want her there made her more determined to say.

"Feeling like Sharing"

"The beer sure" he opened the door allowing her in she sat in his living room accepting it and taking a large swig, to clam her nerves

"So why Sir?" she asked bluntly fed up of playing games

"Cut the Sir I'm not your CO any more"

"So why Jack?" she relentlessly tried

"I was bored we weren't getting anywhere with our methods so I decided to move things along, the Tollan are so far up there own ass they wouldn't help anyone so long as they are ok"

"They have there reasons there is a lot we can learn that isn't technology or weapons" Sam shot back,

"What from lover boy Nareem? In fact I don't want to know what you want to learn from him" Jack spat spitefully watching Sam wince,

"Instead of Laira" Sam shot back

"I didn't think I would ever get home, it had been 3 months" he defended himself

"I worked as fast as I could" she protested

"Well it wasn't fast enough"

"Well you lost faith in your team! Do you know hard I worked to get you back and why because nobody gets left behind, ever, you taught us that, then I get nothing even a thank you, that hurt!"

Internally Jack winced but externally he delivered the fatal blow with his face under perfect control even as she searched it for some reaction

"Major you were a member of my team, that's it you followed orders and got me to earth, no matter what I wanted I had orders, I came back"

"Its earth now not home" she spotted, standing up to look out the window

"Carter just leave it" he ordered still sitting, causally he swigged his beer

"So the whole friendship thing we had?" she asked out of the blue, he didn't answer instead moving to the opposite end of the room surveying the back yard and looking out to avoid answering,

"Was I always just a member of your team?" hurt filled her eyes and she blinked back tears of pain, she would not give him the satisfaction

"What friendship thing you were ordered onto my team. End of! I never wanted to be your friend we were never friends" he knew he was being harsh but the longer she stayed the more danger she was in from the NID, and the more likely he was to tell all.

"Now if you don't mind Carter I have some paint to watch drying or grass growing both seem far more interesting than sitting here listening to you" he told her harshly watching as Sam fought back tears feeling like crap for hurting her like this,

"Don't worry Sir you won't have to worry about anything. I won't be bothering you ever again" Sam screamed at him running to the door,

"Good" he yelled back
