"Carter...?"
Sam continued fiddling with the device on her lab table. "Yes, sir?"
"I have a question. For you. I mean, there's something I want to ask you."
At last, Sam turned to the man standing before her, his hands adorably buried deep in his jacket pockets. "Yes?"
Gathering up his courage, Jack blurted, "Carter, wanna have kids with me?"
She froze. Her fingers stopped their adroit maneuverings as she stared uncomprehendingly at him.
Suavely, Jack pulled his right hand from his pocket, revealing a bag of candy. Sam dumbly accepted it. Glancing down at the package, the blank expression on her face quickly morphed to one of anger.
"Sour Patch Kids?" she started.
"Er...enjoy!" Backing away, Jack hurriedly left.
"You owe me five bucks," he murmured to Jonas as he strode down the corridor, the younger man trailing behind.
"I never thought of that as a way to make Sam speechless."
"Well, all the other ways would've gotten us court-martialed," Jack quipped. When Jonas cocked his head inquiringly, he muttered, "Never mind."
As Jack continued down the hallway, a smile quirked his lips.
Bag of candy: $1.99
Amount that Jonas lost: $5
Shocking Sam Carter into silence: priceless
