He can feel his brain expanding, trying to process all the fantastic information he'd been given in the past half hour. He watches Sam leave the room when the doctor enters. The woman gives Sam a look that seems questioning but, what the question was he couldn't tell. Apparently Sam could because she shrugs and shakes her head as she leaves. He continues to watch as she walks down the hall, catching sight of an older man pause to talk to her. The man approaches the door and calls out to the doctor, and as she exits the room he hears her ask, "Should you be here?" He doesn't answer but she sighs as she closes the door.
"So. I'm Colonel O'Neill and you are Pete Shanahan."
Although Pete has been a cop for over 15 years, he shivers as he recognizes the cold look in Colonel's eyes. "Yes, what can I do for you?"
"You can explain to me why the General got a call yesterday about an extensive search of Major Carter's background by an agent of the FBI. Now I know there isn't a reason for such research and you being a cop, it got me thinking. Care to share?"
"Look, I know this is top secret and all, but I wanted to know more about her. And if she couldn't tell me herself then I figured I'd find out myself. I deserve to know what I'm going to be dealing with."
"Well as you now know, it IS classified, and she told you she couldn't tell you. As far as I'm concerned you disrespected her, me and everyone on this base when you decided that your cop status was more important than national security! However, Carter likes you. So a fair bit of warning. I will do anything to protect her, as will her friends and family, so if you get any more bright ideas about the invasion of her or anyone else connected to this base and their privacy, I figure you'll find out a few more things." Turning around, the Colonel strode to the door and opening it called out, "Oh doctor, your patient is awaiting."
The petite doctor comes trotting in before the words were out of his mouth. Giving the Colonel a stern look, she turns to Pete, "Hi, I'm Janet. How are you feeling?"
"Physically I feel better, but I'm still a bit overwhelmed." He shakes his head trying to figure out what the hell just happened.
"Oh, don't mind the Colonel, he's very overprotective of everyone on his team." Giving him a nervous smile, Janet checks his IV bag and temperature.
