1037hrs: Thursday Morning after promotion ceremony and Jacks recovery...
General Hammond sat at his desk sipping coffee going over reports. The weekend and following days really weight heavy on him. Colonel O'Neill almost died from a poisoned bullet right in front of now Lt. Colonel Carter. God or a guardian angel looked after the colonel. Lt. Colonel Fraiser with the help of allies saved his life. They also helped Dr. Jackson and SSgt. Nantz recover from their injuries as well.
On a sad note Dr. Chase and Major Rollins became victims of their own doing. They both got discovered as NID moles dying for betraying the SGC. Many people, including him, wanted to hate the two. Sheppard Books sermon dampened the feelings of hatred toward the two.
Colonel Maybourne discovered the NID's plot then tipped off Colonel O'Neill. The surprising thing is that Harry had been undercover the whole time. That blew just about everyone's mind. Then come to find out Harry is Jack cousin. No one else knows that but Spc. Tam, Samantha and him. George never saw that one coming at all. In the end Harry blew his cover, telling Jack. Thor graciously took Harry to a planet where he'd be safe.
George did have a reason to smile though. Henry Hayes and he made a bet shortly after the idea of making then Major Carter head of R&D along with head scientist at the SGC. They bet on whether or not Jack would kiss Sam on stage upon realizing that she was out of his chain of command. The president modified the bet saying that Sam would kiss Jack first. George sent Henry a bottle of 20 year old Scotch via Paul Davis. Now all that he needed is for Jacob to show. His long time friend owed him $100.00 bucks and a steak dinner at O'Malley's.
1105hrs: Gate room....
Sgt. Siler approached the Stargate to do a routine check on it only for it to start spinning. He paused, watching it in awe. Siler could never get over its beauty and grace. The gate room defense team swarmed in as Walters's voice came over the speakers... "Unauthorized Gate activation... defense teams to your positions! Unauthorized Gate activation... defense teams to your positions!" his friend and cohort repeated. Siler hurried out of the room and up to the observation area. He loved seeing the stargate activate. It is a rush that never gets old.
General Hammond entered the control room as the 4th chevron locked into place. "There are no SG teams due back for an hour Walter. Did any of our allies schedule a visit without my knowledge?" He asked standing at parade rest. "No Sir, they all made appointments for next week." He replied smoothly activating the automated voice. "Let's see who's knocking on our front door then?" George said out loud to no one in particular.
The seventh and final chevron locked into placed with the vortex waiting to form. George often wondered why the trinium never got destroyed by the vortex. If he asked Lt. Colonel Carter the explanation would take all day. "Sir, we're receiving an IDC, its General Carter's personnel GDO sir." Walter informed George. "Let him in son. It's about time he showed up. Jacob owes me money and a steak dinner." Walter chuckled at that. The bets being paid out along with the new ones being made were keeping him busy.
1140: General Hammond's office...
"Garhaw informed me of the situation. I trust it's been resolved since everyone is in good moods." Jacob asks. "We are good for many reasons. I'll give you the short version first then you can read the report." George said then smirked.
"Why do I get the feeling that I lost our bet?" Jacob asks smiling widely.
"You did in a big way Jake but I'll get to that in minute." He says with a broad smile.
"Is Colonel O'Neill and my daughter on base George? I have the sudden urge to pay them a visit." Jacob replies back getting an 'I TOLD YOU SO FROM SALMAK". George lets out a laugh then answers his long time friend. "No... Lt. Colonel Carter and Lt. Colonel Frasier are shopping for a little black dress so go easy on her. Now Jack... is fair game. Be sure and get some jabs in for me." He says getting out his Macallan (21 Year Old) Fine Oak Scotch Whisky.
"You've been holding out me old friend." Jacob says reaching for the offered glass.
"I was saving it for the right occasion. I believe this qualifies." George answers then proposed a toast. "To Jack and Samantha, may they find the joy & happiness they both richly deserve!" he says.
"I second that!" Jacobs confirms with a clink.
1200hrs: Janet & Sam leaving for the dress shop…
"You ready yet Sam?" Janet asks popping her head into her friends office smiling. "You may have carte blanche with lunches now but some of us don't have your connections." Janet's words raise a slight blush to Sam's cheeks.
Once Jack returned her kiss at the ceremony their secret attraction became common knowledge much to Sam's dismay. She was happy that Jack and she could start acting on their feelings in public. The excitement of a secret love thrilled her but now was not the time to look back. "Yes…I'm ready Janet."
Sam grins as she closes the Asgard ship schematic. Sam grabs her coat then follows Janet to the elevator leading to the surface. Twenty minutes later they are cruising down the highway with the wind blowing gently through the open windows. Sam just stares out at the mountain landscape as Janet peppers her with questions about the date of the century.
"I really have no idea what Jack has planned." Sam says dreamily. "I'm just happy to spend some time with him not running for our lives or blowing things up with C4, octal or dynamite."
Janet giggles at Sam. "I don't know. Hopefully there will be some explosions." Janet says raising an eyebrow pretending to be serious. "There's no sense in wasting your time if there are no fireworks." Janet finishes with a smirk.
Sam shrugs her shoulders but has to bite her lower lip to hide her smile. "Fireworks are never a problem with him." she thinks turning to look back out the window as Janet continues to talk.
Janet can read her best friend like a book. "Look I know you can't get any privacy at the base so if you are looking for a night cap." Janet teases. She knows Sam and Jack will be taking slower but just wants to get a rise out of Sam.
"Janet! We are not going that far… I think." Sam squeals eyes wide. "I know…I know... I was just making sure you were paying attention to me and not day dreaming about a certain guy." Janet says with a smile. "…because I need your head in the game. We are going to knock Jack O'Neill's socks off."
