My first fic! I'm posting it on my sisters name... hope you like it!


Carter walked into her house and sighed. It had been another long day at the SGC. She looked at the pile of mail. "I need to come home more often!" she thought to herself as she quickly went through it. Just as she finished, the phone rang.

She grabbed it, "Carter."

"Sam! I have been trying to get a hold of you all day!" A panicked voice said.

"Mark?" Carter asked.

"Yes it's me Sam, Elizabeth has been kidnapped."

"What! When? How!"

"Ouch! Thanks for blowing my ear out! This morning, " Mark said with his voice breaking up as he spoke.

"Let me ask Hammond for the week off."

There was a pause.

"Could you contact Dad for me? I guess he should know."

"Yes Mark, I'll tell Dad."

"Thanks Sam" Mark said sounding relieved. She hung up and sighed.

"Back to the SGC" she muttered.

Carter knocked on General Hammond's door and waited impatiently for an answer.

"Enter."

She walked in and waited for him to notice her.

"Major Carter, I though you left an hour ago." He said surprised

"I did, Sir."

"Can I help you with something?"

She took a deep breath, "I need the week off sir."

General Hammond looked surprised but nodded. "Granted, may I ask why?"

"My niece is missing Sir."

General Hammond gave a look filled with compassion. "I hope you find her."

Carter turned to leave then turned, "would you contact my father for me Sir?"

He nodded.

She smiled "Thank you Sir"

She was headed to her lab when Jack stopped her.

"Carter, I thought you left a while ago"

She nodded "I did Sir," she hesitated for a second then continued, "My niece has disappeared so I'm going to go join the search"

Jack pondered that for a moment "Do you need any help? I guess I should cut the fish some slack…"

She smiled "you are always welcome Sir."

He grinned "Great! Give me 10 then we can go," he said running off.

----

"So" he began after about 20 minutes of silence "What's her name?"

Carter gave her a quick glance before looking back at the road "Elizabeth."

"Pretty," he said cheerfully.

Silence…

"Your Brother lives in San Diego?"

"Yes Sir."

"We're driving 18 hours?"

"Yes Sir."

"Straight?"

"No Sir."

"Carter, dispense with the Sir, that's an order."

"Sir?"

"AHH SHE DEFIES A DIRECT ORDER!"

She laughed "Sorry Sir-err Jack."

He grinned, "So glad we got that straight," he murmured.
