"Come in!" General Hammond said from behind the door.

Jack slowly opened the door, needless to say that he was a little scared.

"Hi Jack, what can I do for you?" The general said

"Sir...you know how me and my team saved the world on several occasions and

didn't really get anything in return?" Jack started, not exactly sure how to ask.

"What do you want colonel?"

"I want a change in the regulations sir."

"This wouldn't have anything to do with a certain major, Would it?"

"What if it does?"

"You'll be surprised to know that almost every person on this base has asked me

the same thing at least once. Daniel and Janet the most."

"And..."

"The President has agreed to make an exception. Congratulations."

At this moment a smile appeared on Jack's face. "Sir, if you don't mind me

asking, why have you waited to tell me?"

"Lets just say I had a bet with Walter. Speaking of which, tell him he owes me

50 bucks."

"Will do sir, thank you."

"Anytime time Jack. Just don't screw this up."

"I wouldn't dream about it sir."

Jack opened the door and bumped into Daniel.

"Daniel, what are you doing here?"

"Hum... well... we were just..."

"Have you been eavesdropping?"

"Well...yes."

"What part did you hear?"

"Everything after: What do you want?" Janet answered

"I'll let you get away with it this time but only because you helped me out on

this one." Jack said before heading towards the stairs. "Ho! Don't tell

anybody."

"You know he didn't exactly say what he doesn't want us to tell anybody." Janet

said when Jack was out of ear shot.

"You're good, very good." Daniel said with a smile appearing on his face.

They both hurried down the stairs, telling the news to every body they passed.

Obviously they were a bit more interested in what Jack was up to. They both

notice that he was heading to his office instead of Sam's lab.

"What is he doing?" Janet asked. "Finishing some paper work wouldn't be at the top of my list if I was in his position."

"I don't know but I do know how to find out." Daniel said following Jack once

again.

By the time they were at his door, Jack was looking at something. It appeared

to be a small box.

"Is that what I think it is?" Janet asked in a very low whisper.

"I don't know. What do you see?" Daniel asked, standing beside her.

Unfortunately there was only room for one person to see through the small crack in

the door.

"It looks like a... It couldn't be...could it?"

"What do you see? What do you see?"

"I think it's a RING!"
