A/N WOW look I'm back again. I'm have to admit I am writing more to this story as stress relief, I'm going to my best friend's wedding in three weeks time, and my sister had gone and bought the SAME DRESS AS ME TO WEAR TO IT... the ******
Sorry that there is no beta I wanted to get this out there so you could read it, if anyone would like to be my beta drop me a line :-D
Sam repetitively banged her head on the briefing table. Three weeks. THREE FREAKING WEEKS! Again! She could hardly believe it.
"We're only postponing," Jack's sheepish look was enough for her to forgive him. Almost. They had only just agreed that it would be best if the wedding was called off while they looked for his sister. There had still been no leads on her or the mystery man that she had disappeared with. It was looking more and more like she had been abducted but the police in San Diego where unsure as to why or how. There had been no signs of a struggle at the club that she had been at and the evidence that she had gone home, as it was her teenage son Jamie was now living with her and Jack in the Colorado home.
Sam sighed and gave her future husband what she hoped was a reassuring smile. It wasn't his fault really, there was no way that he could have ever known that his sister would go AWOL so close to the wedding. Sam had instantly loved Jenny the moment that they met, they where both career woman and while Sam a joined the armed forces, Jenny had joined the Police force. Although the police in San Diego where obviously dedicated to finding Jacks errant sister, the General had pulled some stings and the investigation had changed in the hands of the USAF. Which was why they were in the briefing room surrounded by three CIA agents, two aliens, four air force officers and a rather confused looking detective.
"I'm still not sure what my involvement here is," the Police detective said looking around the room with apprehension. He'd only just discovered that his partner Jenny O'Neill was the younger sister of the man that his own sister was to marry.
"Mark," Sam tired to look positive for her brother, "we're only trying to find Jenny anyway we can, and it seemed to work out best if we took over, as you can see we have a lot more recourses at our disposal then the Police force has."
Mark looked at the large black man with the gold tattoo on his head who was sitting next to his sister. Teal'c she had said his name was he though.Odd name he thought, however he had be told that Teal'c was from somewhere in Africa and he also remember his father talking about him fondly. Pushing back the sadness that came when thinking about his father Mark had to agree the formidable looking man was not the only person in the room that looked like they would be an asset to finding his partner.
Across the room from his sister sat a man in glasses whom he had be talking to about codes imbedded in text, a subject that interested him after an interesting case six months ago which involved a man with an unhealthy obsession with the Da Vinci code. The dark haired beauty that was trying to drape herself across the man had imputed intelligently into the conversation which made him trust the group just that more.
Jack, his future brother-in-law had already proven to be more then valuable to any search and rescue mission according to marks late father, he had "saved his butt" more time that he could count.
"So what do we do?" looking up at the General from where he was seated.
"That's why we've asked you to join us, Agent Johnson here has happily offered to assist us and in our search and as so far as I can see I don't think we need to double up on the work that the SDPD has done, just expand on it. You seem to be the best way on doing that."
Mark thought for a second, this arrangement did seem to help, and it also meant that he would have more involvement into the search then he would have if it had stayed in the hand of the SDPD. Nodding his assent the team got into planning their missing persons investigation.
After the room had emptied out of all but them Mark looked at his sister and smiled. For the first time he could see her work, and she was brilliant, after observing her with Jack he could see what a fantastic team that they made. While he didn't think he was quiet ready to forgive her for the Pete fiasco, he knew that he was well on his way to doing so.
"Wow," He said to her as she Yawned into her hand, "you do this in a regular basis?"
"Find missing Generals sisters yeah all of the time," Sam responded glibly, "just the other day we found two of them."
"Using deep space radar telemetry"
"Yeah"
"You guys has really have to find a better cover story, every time you tell me that I have vision of you with massive telescopes looking into bedroom windows"
Sam snorted with laughter "I think Dad caught you doing that when you where 12 with Mrs Stephenson"
"Did he? Wasn't she like ninety?"
Sam laughed even more. Wiping a tear from her eye she smiled at Mark "I've missed you."
"So have I," Mark realised.
Jenny had given up screaming in her head and turned to silently weeping, this monster that was controlling her had been whispering lies into her ears for the last three days, about how nobody could ever love her, about how her brother had abandoned her and how he was somehow evil.
Just the day beforehand she had been forced to witness the massacre of hundreds of children by her own hands, it seemed the evil voice in her head was doing it to torture her as with each murder the thing had become more and more macabre, pulling memories from her head of past cases making her relive them with her as the perp. The worst thing was that she could not close her eyes as much as she tried and much as she threw herself against the bonds that seemed to hold her.
She felt herself walk across the gold clad room to look down at the view out of the window and that was when she realised where they had been headed to on this massive ship in the sky. She was looking at earth.
