They headed for a store a few minutes away from the park in Jack's truck. Sam and Jack were in the front and 'Bob' (so gracefully named by Jack) was in the back after finally agreeing to be taken out to buy clothes. Of course, Sam did most of the negotiating when coming to that decision. Jack was just glad he was doing something to help 'Bob' at last. Talk about a stubborn child.
They arrived at the small clothes shop down the road, got out of the truck and walked inside. Jack and Sam were either side of her, being almost protective of her. The feeling of safety and someone looking out for her was not something she was used to and her spirits soared. It must have shown because Sam looked down at the smile on her face and started grinning goofily herself.
"Right Bob, we'll get you some new jeans, some extra t-shirts and some sweatshirts." Jack smiled "Do you think that will keep you going?"
"I don't want to cost you money," she said, looking slightly guilty with one hand on her dog for support. She coughed the dust out of her throat and Achilles wuffled her hand in comfort.
"Don't be an idiot, Bob," Jack said concerned about the cough and waving a hand in front his nose "You stink, you need some new clothes,"
"You're such a gentleman, sir," Sam said sarcastically. 'Bob' grinned. "Bob, why don't we go get underwear and jeans and Jack can sort out the t-shirts and sweatshirts?"
"Sure," As 'Bob' walked off with Sam. Jack couldn't help grin stupidly at the fact Sam had said his first name. He knew it was pathetic and quickly masked his features and continued to pick out various shirts and sweaters.
OoOoO
"I suppose you want some fairly tough denim, looking at the state of your jeans now," Sam observed. 'Bob' blushed, feeling a little embarrassed about the fact that her jeans were a total wreck and Sam's were so neat and ironed, probably new.
"Yeah, I get into a lot of trouble," she shrugged.
"Is that how you met the Colonel?"
"Colonel?"
"6 foot tall muscular man, your dog attacked him twice I hear," Sam grinned holding up three fingers. 'Bob' laughed.
"So he is in the military!" she giggled "The first time I met him my dog ran him over and I escaped with a loaf of bread,"
"Oh really?" Sam said "That dog is lethal," Achilles raised his head to look at them, as if he knew they were talking about them. "What's his name?"
"Achilles," 'Bob' answered "But I just call him 'Chilly' for short,"
"And what's your name, Bob?"
"Bob!" she answered mischievously.
"Alright then, Bob," Sam grinned "If you don't want to tell me, you don't have to,"
"Good,"
"Are you hungry?" Sam asked loading 3 pairs of jeans into the basket.
"Definitely"
"Me too, lets go find Colonel O'Neill and get these paid for,"
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
They found him at the checkout near the front of the store purchasing a hefty amount of clothing.
"Maybe you should buy me a van as well, to fit all that stuff in," Bob said wide eyed.
"Well I didn't know whether you were into the 'Simpson's' t-shirts or 'futurama', so I got you both," Jack said defensively.
"Never seen either of them," Bob shrugged as Sam added the Jeans to the pile of clothing.
"What?" Jack spun around so quickly he thought his head had fallen off.
"I've never see-"
"That's just not right!" Jack gasped "That's it, you're not leaving my sight until you have sat down and watched at least one episode of the 'Simpsons'"
