Set during Secrets

Affair

What did they think he was born yesterday? Jacob Carter thought to himself. Deep Space Radar Telemetry, that had to be one of the worse cover ups out there. Jacob had cancer and he wanted to make sure that his daughter was happy, so he had told her he had a way to get her into NASA and she was not happy.

She had said she was happy with her job but Jacob couldn't help but think that it had something to do with her CO Colonel Jack O'Neill. They had looked at each other like they were more then just officers serving together.

A sudden thought struck him but there was no way it was true…was it? Sam wasn't having an affair with her CO was she? Sam would never let something like that to jeopardize her career like that.

But Jack O'Neill sure seemed like a charmer. And what was he doing with Deep Space Radar Telemetry anyway? He didn't look like a scientist.

And he didn't look like the scientist type. Jacob knew Sam wasn't naive but men like that preyed on woman like Sam. Especially in the military. No Jacob needed to find out the truth from his daughter.

"So are you dating anyone?" Jacob asked her.

"No." Sam said not meeting him in the eye.

"Well then could you tell me something?" He asked sure.

She nodded her head.

"Are you having an affair with your CO?" He whispered so that no one over heard.

Sam's eyes flew to meet his, shock written on her face. "No! God Dad how could you even think that of me?" She said furiously.

"Well Jack O'Neill seems like a smooth talker. And the look you exchanged earlier…how the hell was I supposed to take it?" Jacob said defensively.

"You supposed to take it that I work with him. He's a friend Dad that's all." She said still angry.

"Yeah and there are aliens out there. Come on give me a break. That man did not look at you like he was just your friend and CO."

Sam stubbornly remained silent.

Jacob sighed. "Listen Sam I'm sorry that was wrong of me. I know your better than that. But you're my daughter I just want to protect you." He said apologetically.

"The last thing you have to Protect me from is Colonel O'Neill." She said defensively, her anger cooling.

Jacob wasn't so sure about that though. He was a man after all and he could tell when another man was attracted to someone. And Jack O'Neill was definitely attracted to his daughter. Maybe they weren't having an affair, but he knew that their was something going on between them. What it was he wasn't sure.

Jacob shook his head to clear his thoughts. He shouldn't worry about it, Sam was honorable and he had bigger things on his mind. Like how to tell his daughter that he was dying.
