Spoilers- every possible Jack/Sam moment up to S7
Disclaimer- Not mine, no money made, up to my eyeballs in university debt.
Note- The season 7 episode 'Inauguration' confirmed my idea for this story. I feel validated!
Note2- This will involve a series of missing moments from the series. I'm going to try to go by seasons, but the missing scenes can be from any pov. If there is a particular missing scene you think would work well, or an episode that really needs a J/S moment please let me know and I'll do my best to include it.
Note3- I have now posted an original work at fictionpress if you're interested.

Prologue: The Red Phone.
General Hammond jumped as the phone at his elbow rang. The heavy file in his hand went flying, scattering the pieces of paper to the ground. He sighed at the sight of his important and carefully prepared documents littering the floor of his office.
The phone shrilled insistently and General Hammond quickly snatched it up. "Hammond."
General Hammond sat up straight in his chair. "Mr. President, sir. Hello."
He listened for a moment. "Yes, sir, but if I may-… I trust my people, Mr. President. Every one of those incidents have a perfectly good explan-… I have never worked with two people more committed to this cause and to the Air Force."
General Hammond sighed. "Yes, sir. I understand. Thank you for the warning. I'll let them know. Yes, sir. Goodbye." He hung up the phone a frown creasing his forehead.
General Hammond leaned forward, resting his elbows on the desk and placing his head in his hands. With a shake of his head he reached over for his phone.
"Get me Colonel O'Neill."

Jack hung up the phone and blindly wandered back over to his couch. The flickering colours from The Simpson's played over his blank features.
He picked up a beer bottle and brought it to his lips.
"Huh." Well, ain't that a kick in the teeth?

Sam put down the phone with a loud crunch, her face a deathly shade of pale. One hand moved up to cover her open mouth.
"Sam, who was that?" Pete pulled his head out of her refrigerator, a chunk of cheese and a tomato balanced in one hand. He frowned in concern. "Sam?"
"That was-" She took a breath. "That was General Hammond."
Pete put down the cheese and the tomato on a wooden chopping board. He swallowed sharply. "Is something wrong? Do they need you at the mountain?"
Sam shook her head.
"Then what's wrong?"
Sam gulped. All these years she'd been dreading something like this, and now, when she least expected it, it was happening.
"As of Monday… Colonel O'Neill and I are being investigated for possible breaches of fraternization regulations."
"WHAT?"
