Chapter Seven

Sam kept remembering what Jack had said about not remembering a thing from when he had the Ancient knowledge download in this head. Then she remembered what Teal'c said to her, about her being hit on the head, the healing power of the Ancients and about being locked in the back room on the cargo ship; everything.

Then she thought to herself, 'I wonder what happened back of the ship. I wish I could remember. Jack, why don't you want me to remember'?

Then her phone rang. She checked to see who it was, and it was the SGC.

"Carter"

"Major Cater"

"Teal'c, what's wrong?"

"Detective Shanahan has been trying to contact you since yesterday, are you alright?"

"Yea, I'm ok. Teal'c, can you come and get me?"

"Where are you, so I may pick you up?"

Sam told him where she would meet him. Once she hung up the phone, she carried on walking till she reached a Pizza Hut. She was hungry, since all she had was coffee almost three hours earlier and had had nothing to eat in almost twenty four hours and it was almost lunch time.

When she arrived there she ordered a large pepperoni and medium apricot chicken for both Teal'c and herself. She sat down on one of the seats, waiting for her order. Ten minutes later Teal'c walked in and sat next to her.

"Thank you for coming Teal'c. Has there been any word from our little buddy?"

"No, there's been no news yet" Teal'c knew that Sam was talking about Thor.

"Ok, how is Daniel doing?"

"He is doing well, but he has caught a cold and his studies have improved"

"Ok, that's good then"

"Are you alright, Major Carter?"

"Yes, no, we will talk about it later, not here" Teal'c nodded.

A few minutes later the pizzas were ready and Sam grabbed them and followed Teal'c out side to his truck. Once inside, they headed to Sam's place to eat their lunch. Sam went to get both she and Teal'c some orange juice, then they both sat in the lounge to eat it.

"Major Carter, have you contacted Detective Shanahan?"

"No, I haven't. Did he call the base?"

"Yes, he did not believe me when I told him that you weren't on the base"

"Sorry Teal'c. It's just that I wanted to be alone for a while to think. A couple of days ago Pete showed up and I wasn't in the mood for any company. He keeps asking questions about what happened on the mission. He wanted to know about it, why it was so important and how I hit my head" Then she took another bite of the pizza.

"What did you tell him, if you don't mind me asking?"

"That I don't remember what happened, which is partially true"

"I was at the Colonel's place last night. After what happened yesterday morning, I just grabbed my jacket, keys and wallet and walked out the door. He asked me where I was going. I told him that I was going for a walk to clear my head. I was walking about two hours and as I was turning a corner I noticed that Pete was following me. Luckily I knew the area well, so as soon as I got around the next corner, I ran till I got to some bushes and I hid behind them"

"Was it him?"

"Yes, I followed him for few minutes, than I called a taxi. When it arrived, I gave him the Colonel's address, and that's where I ended up yesterday. I was tired, with everything that has happened since the mission. Last night I slept in his bed, it was still light when I fell asleep and when I woke up this morning, it was the best night sleep I have had in a while."

"I see, do you remember anything about the mission?"

"No, but I did have a flash of a memory of when Colonel O'Neill returned from the Asgard home world after the first time he had the Ancient knowledge down loaded. Remember what he said; that he didn't remember what happened from the time the thing grabbed his head until he saw the Asgard for the first time"

"Do you think he did that to you, so you wouldn't remember what had happened"?

"Yes, but why"

"Only you and O'Neill know the answer to that question"

"I know" then Sam's cell phone rang, she checked it

"It's the SGC" Then she answered it.
