Will was in the middle of a meeting with Helen when he got the call…

"Hello, this doctor Dr. Zimmerman."

"Hello I am General George Hammond. I am calling in regards to major Samantha Carter."

He looked at Helen and she nodded for him to be excused to take the call.

"Is Sam ok?"

"Well there has been an incident and she has requested you due to your history."

"Yes of course, what happened?"

"I afraid I cant tell you that son, Its top secret. A car will be there to pick you up in two hours to take you to the airport."

"That's pretty cryptic what should I tell my boss."

"I will handle that son just let me talk to her."

He walked back in the room and held out the phone to magnus. "General Hammond would like to speak with you."

Her face brightened up as she took the phone from him and put it up to her ear. "George how are the girls." The general said something that made her smile a little bit then it turned into a frown. "Of course George keep him as long as you need, Tell the major I give her and her team my best." The general said something else. "If you need anything just give me a call. You know where to find me." With that she hung up the phone and handed it back to Will. "You best get packed Will." Will stood dumbfounded for a moment before turning and going to his room to pack his things.

Before he knew he was on a plane to Colorado. When he got to the airport a black SUV and two air force personnel were waiting to pick him up. They drove for a while before entering a base in the side of a mountain. He was taken into an elevator and they went down a staggering 28 floors 'what did sam get herself into he thought to himself' His bags were taken to his room wherever it was and he was escorted to a conference room with a big long table and black high back chairs. He saw Sam and went straight to her and wrapping her in hug. "Sam what happened?" He looked at her week form and noticed a healing bruise by her neck.

"Hi Will, but before I say anything you have to sign these papers." She pointed to a manila folder on the table.

"Sam?"

"Just sign the papers Will." He leaned over and signed the papers. He noticed the others sitting at the table. The was a bald man sitting at the head of the table he took to be general Hammond, and three other men, an older one with graying hair, one with brown short hair that kinda reminded him of himself the way he was looking at him, and a large guy that had short black hair and what looked like a gold tattoo on his fore head. It was Egyptian, he would ask him about it later. The bald man at the head of the table was the first to speak

"Hello Dr. Zimmerman, I am general Hammond. And this is colonel O'neill" The man with graying hair nodded at him. "Teal'c" The large man with the tattoo slightly bowed "and Dr. Jackson." The last man nodded. And got up and walked over to him.

"You can call me Daniel." He held out his hand for Will to shake.

Will took it after eyeing the man "You can call me Will" He turned his attention back to Sam. "Sam what is all this about, what did you get yourself into."

"I could say the same to you. You were working for the FBI the last time we talked. We had a hard time finding you, what exactly do you do anyways."

"I work for a private research facility, I'm afraid I can't say any more than that." Everyone just kind of stared at him.

Jack spoke up "Well that's new, I haven't been on this side of the top secret saying in a while."

"Does someone want to tell me what is going on here."

Daniel stepped forward and pulled out a chair. "You may want to sit down for this." He sat down and watched as he then helped Sam into a chair. Something was off about her. Over the next couple hours Daniel told him all about the Stargate and travelling to other worlds and about the go'uld and the battle they were in without the rest of the world knowing about it.

Will just leaned back in chair at the end of it. He sat there observing everyone picking up on little movements, Once he wrapped his head around it he sat up and looked Sam in the eyes. "Sam what happened."

"Will I was captured and tortured by a gould named Geb and he killed me multiple times and brought me back using a sarcophagus. I was gone 142 days." She looked into seeing warmth and comfort, already feeling better that he was here.

He chuckled a little catching everyone in the room off-guard. "Wow, and I thought me dying twice was horrific, and here you are going through all that and describing it like you would describe combat training. Sam you always were a badass weren't you?" Oh yeah she was definitely glad he was here. Then she did something that no one in the room understood but Will. She started laughing and crying at the same time. He got up and went to hug her. When she stopped he brushed the tears from her face and looked into her eyes "Sam you need to go get some sleep, okay, we can talk later." She nodded and an airman helped her to her quarters.

"What the hell was that." Daniel said incredulously.

"I just told her what she needed to hear, you see, I could tell the second I saw her face that all of you have been treating her like she was weak and babying her. While she is weak and needs time to recover she has always had a strong mind. Its still Sam in there and she just needs to be reminded of that. Don't point out what she isn't anymore but point out the ways she is just like her old self. That is what she needs right now."

Everyone sat there and thought about what he had just said. Jack got up and moved to sit across from Will. "So how do you and Sam know each other?"

"Well, I can't say much about it because it's classified, but Sam and I got into a pretty bad circumstance together. My point being Sam is one of the bravest people I know and she has the soundest mind of anyone I have ever worked with. It would take more than just torture to break that woman and you need to start having more faith in her."

"Who said I didn't have faith in her?"

"That look right there. You see I'm trained to read people colonel O'Neill I can see things about them and judge their soundness of mind. There is only one person in the world who I can't read and it isn't anyone in this base including you." They all simply stared at him in wonder as he stood up from his chair. "I think I'm going to go get settled in now. It was very nice to meet all of you and I'm sure we will talk again."

With that he turned and left the room with an airman in tow.

"I don't trust this guy. He works in some secret research place and can't even tell us how he and Sam met."

Daniel chimed in "Yeah but from the look of things, he knows what he is doing, and Sam requested him, so that's says something."

"I guess but I'm going to be keeping a very close eye on him."

"Indeed." Teal'c seconded
