NOTES: I was thinking about this story, so I decided to write it. thank to ikhowaed88 for beta reading this for me
The morning of the Osiris mission, Pete showed up which shocked Sam.
"Pete what are you doing here" she said
"I was going to ask you the same thing, what are you doing?"
"It classified"
"Come on Sam" Sam looked at Daniel's apartment and saw Osiris walking out the door and looking around.
When Sam saw her, she had the choice to stop Pete from finding out but it would hurt him. She decided to stop him she pulled out a tranquiller dart and put it in his neck.
He turned to her. "What did you do?"
"My job." Then Pete collapsed to the ground.
Sam then moved away and distracted Osiris at the same time Jack walked out quickly and quietly. He fired the tranquiller dart in the back of Osiris neck; she turned to Jack and then collapsed on the ground.
"Got her Carter, nice work," he congratulated her.
"Thanks sir but we got another problem." Sam walked back over to where Pete was.
Jack got Teal'c to watch over Osiris while Jack walk over to where Sam was, when he saw the guy.
"Who that?"
"Pete… he must have been following us." then she turn to Jack who was looking at her.
"I'm sorry sir I didn't know he followed us."
"It not your fault, what has he seen…?"
"Nothing much just Osiris walking out of Daniel apartment, I had to knock him out before he found out."
"You didn't zat him?"
"No sir" she showed him the dart that was in her hand.
"Ok, good choice. See if you can find out which one is his truck, it must be parked close by."
"Yes sir" Sam walked down the rows of cars when she spotted Pete's truck.
She walked over and saw the keys were still in the car. While she was looking for Pete's truck, Jack got Daniel and Osiris to beam back to the SGC and to get Hammond to call the Tok'ra. After they were beamed away Teal'c and Jack walked over to where Pete was.
"Colonel I found Pete truck," Sam radioed.
"Ok keys?"
"Still in there."
"Ok bring the truck over here," Jack ordered.
"Yes sir" Sam hopped into the truck and droved it over to where the van was.
She got out and opened the back door when she saw Jack going through Pete's pocket and pulled out keys to the hotel
"Teal'c can you lift him and put him in the back seat"
Teal'c lifted and carried Pete into the truck. Sam closed the door while Jack carefully lifted Pete gun and wrapped it up in cloth then he passed it to Sam.
"Teal'c, go with Carter here." He passed Sam the hotel key.
"I'll follow you" Sam nodded she looked at the key and read the tag.
'Rode way inn & suites' '1623 S Nevada Ave' 'RM 5'.
Then she and Teal'c got into Pete's truck and waited for Jack. When Sam heard the van start up she started heading to the hotel with Jack behind her.
When they got to the hotel and parked outside room five. Jack got out and looked around to see if it was all clear, then he gave them a nod. They both got out while Jack walked over to them to keep a sharp look out. Sam walked over, unlocked and opened the door while Teal'c carried Pete into the room and put him on the bed.
"He will sleep for the next two hours sir."
"Good, let's go."
Sam looked around till she saw file with her name on it.
She walk over and put her gloves on then picked it up while Jack was putting Pete gun back into his hoister then he turn to see Sam looking at a file.
"Carter put that down."
"Sir I think you better look at this." Jack walked over and read what was on the file; he saw Sam was wearing gloves.
"What the…" Jack said when he read what is said and the photos of Sam.
"I know, I just can't believe he did this… behind my back" Teal'c walked over to them, Jack looked up at Teal'c.
"Is every thing alright O'Neill?"
"No, someone did a back round check on Carter here, there are photos and information on what she's done while in the airforce, most of it blacked out like what had happen in the last seven years."
"The SGC."
"Yes if the file like Carter's here is blacked out it mean it's classified."
"I understand, we must return back to base and inform General Hammond about this."
"Good idea" then he turned to Sam.
"Come on lets head back."
"Yes sir" she put the file back on the desk then she walk to bedside drawers and put both keys on it then she took one look at Pete before turning to look at Jack who was at the door way. She walked over to him. He put his hand on her arm while looking into her eyes.
"Will you be alright?"
"I think so."
"Come on it been a long night and knowing Daniel he'll be on his third cup of coffee by now." Sam smiled as they walked out the door closing it behind them.
They got into the van and headed back to the SGC. When they returned they all went and showered so they could freshen up a bit. Then, they went to have their briefing with Hammond. Daniel was already there. After the briefing Hammond could see how tired the team was.
"SG1 job well done, you all get a week down time, you're dismissed."
"Sir I would like to stay on base."
"No Dr. Jackson, I'm banning you, Major Carter and Colonel O'Neill from the base."
"But sir I have"
"Major that is an order."
"Yes sir" she said.
"General please, I want to stay cause if Sarah"
"The host"
"Yes, I know her and if she wakes up and doesn't recognise any one…"
"I understand son, you may stay but no work."
"Yes sir thank you."
"Teal'c if you want to go off world you can."
"Thank you General Hammond."
"Ok you're all dismissed… Colonel, Major you have half an hour to get off this base."
"Yes sir," they both said.
They all stood up and walked out of the briefing room and went their separate ways. When Sam got to her car twenty minutes later she noticed Jack's truck was gone. She was just about to get into her car when she saw a note on the windscreen so she removed it, opened it, and smiled.
'Carter comes straight to my place. I'll cook up my famous omlet for breakfast and we can talk O 'Neill'
Sam opened her car door, hoped in, and then closed the door. Then she started up her car and left to go to Jack's place. When she got there fifteen minutes later she parked behind his truck and got out. She walked up to his door when he opened it.
"Hey you got my note, come on in."
"Thanks sirs" she walked in and closed the door then follow him into the kitchen. She saw him pour a cup of coffee and pass it to her.
"Thanks."
"Sit down breakfast is ready."
Sam sat down at the breakfast bar. Jack turned around and placed two plates on the bar. Then he turned around and picked up his coffee mug. Then he walked around and sat down next to Sam. He already had knifes and forks on the bar.
"Smells good sir."
"Thanks, wait till you try It." he said smiling Jack watched Sam as she tried it.
"Mmm this is good."
"See told ya," he said smiling. They both ate their omlet while listing to the radio. When they both finished, Jack turned and looked at her.
"Want to talk about it?"
"About Pete?"
"Yeah"
"I don't know what to say but… I'm shocked with what he did behind my back and from what I read, it was dated after yesterday morning when I told him that it was deep space telemetry and some of my work is classified… he didn't buy it and now the file…"
"You did say he is a cop"
"I know but… after what he did behind my back… I don't think I could trust him again especially him showing up this morning on out mission, he could have jeopardised our mission and he might have been killed or… he could have killed us both because he got in the way."
"So what do you want to do?"
"Talk to him… I don't think I could trust him after what happened."
"When are you going to talk to him?"
"Later after I have had some sleep."
"Ok well if you want to talk to more I'll be up at my cabin, I'll write down instructions on how to get there, if you want to come fishing."
Sam smiled.
"Thanks sir, I'll think about it."
"Ok… so coffee."
"Yeah one more cup then I better head on home."
"Sure." He stood up and pick up her cup then walk back into the kitchen to get a refill.
While he was doing that Sam picked up the dishes and walked into the kitchen and put them in the sink then turned around to see Jack passing her cup of coffee?
"Just before you showed up Hammond called."
"Oh did the Tok'ra show up?"
"Yeah… the reason why he called is he spoke to General Maynard about what happened this morning, he said he would take care of it."
"Meaning?"
"Pete is in a lot of trouble for what he did and he could lose his badge… and his buddy from the FBI"
"FBI" Sam said in shock.
"Yeah the fax number that was on the sheets, Hammond had it traced, it was from the FBI in Washington, guys from the Pentagon are going to find out who did the background check, that guy will be in a lot of trouble for it."
Sam shook her head.
"I can't believe this is happening."
"I know Sam, but you know that I'll be there for you."
"I know Jack, thanks." then they both finished their coffee and put their mugs in the sink
"Thanks for breakfast sir."
"No worries." then they walked to the door and open it
"Crap, I'll be right back." Jack quickly disappeared down to his office then returned a couple of minutes later; he passed her the sheet of paper.
"Directions to get to my cabin."
"Thanks sir."
"Drive carefully."
"I will sir."
Jack watched Sam walk to her car and get in then drove away. Once she was gone Jack walk back into his house closing the door behind him.
Sam went home and managed to get four hours sleep till there was banging on her door. So she got up and put her robe on after she looked at the clock. She went to see whom it was. When she pulled back the curtain she saw Pete there so she unlock the door and open it.
"Pete."
"Sam, we need to talk."
Sam stood back and let him in then they walked to the living room.
"Ok talk." She stood there with her arms folded.
"Why did you knock me out?"
"Why did you follow me? I was on a mission and you almost blew it… I almost got in trouble because of what you did, if it wasn't for Colonel O'Neill talking to my CO I would of ended up in hell of a lot of trouble cause you interfered." Sam said yelling at him.
"I'm sorry; all I wanted to know is what you do so I could understand."
Sam shook her head.
"If you listen to me in the first place none of this would of happen… but you didn't."
"Who took me back to my hotel?"
"My team did… we saw the file you have on me, I had to report it to the General about my findings, he is not happy about that and he had no choice but to tell joint chief of staff about it."
"So what will happen to you?"
"I don't know it will be up to General Maynard."
"Oh… sorry." Sam shook her head.
"So am I Pete but… I don't think it will work between us after what happened this morning… I don't think I'll trust you ever again."
"Sam please." He took a step forward but Sam shook her head.
"No you betrayed my friendship… my trust, I have been through this once before… never again."
"Sam what do you want"
"Someone who trusts me when I say my work is classified, someone who wouldn't do what you did Pete I'm sorry… you better leave."
"What about Mark, he did set us up?"
"You will have to tell him… everything and you better hope that he will still be your friend afterwards. And hope that your friend from the FBI doesn't get into a lot of trouble for doing background checks on me and faxing information to you."
"I didn't mean it to go this far."
"Well its too late Pete, the damage is done… good bye."
"Sam-"
"Good bye Pete." She walked past him to the door and opened it. He walked to the door and stopped and looked at her.
"Bye Sam, I'm truly sorry." Then he walked out the door.
Sam closed the door and locked it. Then she returned to her room and lay down on her bed with tears in her eyes. She lay there for ten minutes then she got up and walked into the bathroom and look in the mirror then she remember what Jack said to her.
"I'll be there for you" Sam knew that Jack is the only one she truly loved and trusted.
"What have I done?"
Then she went and had a shower and she got dressed. She packed her duffle bag and grabbed her cell phone, purse, and keys. She left her place after she lock it up and walk down to her car and got in after putting her bag in the trunk. Then she drove heading north.
