Sam walks down the halls of the SGC trying to safely make it to her lab before any of her team trys to stop her.

She swiftly enters her lab quickly closing it behind her, she turns around and is met with the sight of her team sitting there.

"Hello Sam." Cam says coly.

"Hi guys."

"Any plans tonight?" Daniel asks with a smile.

"Well, um."

"Nope didn't think so movie night at your place at 7; don't be late or we are letting ourselves in." Cam says with a joking yet at the same time serious tone.

"Yup sure yebetcha." Sam says knowing they were just trying to keep her company and make sure she didn't spend the entire weekend cooped up I her lab.

They leave her alone to finish a new project.

Sam become completely absorbed by her work will occasionally checking her watch. By 6 pm she decided to pack up and head top side.

She hops on her bike and hits the wide open road enjoying the wind in her hair.

She enters her house and throws her keys in the dish by the front door. 'What should I make for dinner' Sam thinks to herself before giving up and phoning in for and order of Chinese assuming the team would want some when they arrive.

She heads down the hall to her room and throws on a pair of form fitting jeans and a black deep v-neck sweater. Literally as soon as she has finished getting ready she hears the doorbell ring-not just once but three times.

"I'm coming I'm coming!" She yells. She opens the door to an impatiently waiting Vala and the rest of the team behind her.

"sorry, but there is a creepy looking owl on your front porch." Cam says.

"Wait, what owl?" Sam asks. Cam points to the one sitting on the rail of her front porch.

Sam quickly closes the distance between her and the owl and reaches for it.

"Sam! Wait, don't touch it, it could have some sort of disease!" Vala says.

"Its perfectly harmless." Sam confidently states before reaching her arm out allowing the owl to come and perch on her arm.

Sam grabs the message out of its mouth before setting it back down on the rail.

"Is that a letter?" Daniel asks.

"Yes" was the short reply.

Sam opens it:

Dearest Samantha,

I send my deepest regards, I wish to not have to do this. The order is conjoining. The usual place at the usual time. The order needs you. He is back. Come at once.

Sincerley, Minerva

Sam looks up quickly: "I'm so sorry, you guys need to leave. I have a family emergency to get to."

Sam quickly reenters her house and shuts the door leaving a stunned team behind her.
