O'Boy part 10

About two weeks later:

Sam and Daniel are still trudging away in Sam's lab when General Hammond comes into the room. "When was the last time you two had any sleep?"

"General, a…hm…" Sam stands up at attention and mumbles her words to answer the General.

"At ease Colonel."

"Yes sir."

"I need both of you to go and get some rest."

"But General…" Daniel starts out, but the General will not let him finish.

"No buts, Dr. Jackson. This is an order. Go home and do not take any work with you. I do not want you to come back until Monday."

"But this is Wednesday." Daniel sputters out his reply.

"Sir, all due respect, I do not think I need that long."

"That is an order Colonel. Do not make me assign SFs for babysitting duty. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes, sir"

"Crystal, General"

"You know if Jack was here, he would have sent you packing long before I have."

"That is for sure." Daniel just hangs his head, while he remembers quit a few times that Jack had sent him and Sam home or to the commissary. He was always taking care of us. Ahhg…what am I saying. I am starting to sound like he is gone completely. He is ascended, not dead.

"Now go and I don't want to see you until 0900 Monday morning."

Sam straightened and gave a nice sounding, "Yes sir." …but she was not going to like this.

"Why don't you two take Teal'c with you?" George thought that at least would kill two birds with one stone. Teal'c could keep an eye on the two geniuses and maybe help with their depression.

General Hammond left Sam's lab. Daniel and Sam just stared at the floor, both lost in thought. After a moment or two of silence with their thoughts, Daniel is the one that breaks it by saying, "Well, you want to do something tonight?"

Sam gives a little chuckle, "Beer, pizza, and a movie?"

"Yeah…maybe we can check out Jack's house tonight at the same time."

"Why don't you go get Teal'c and meet at the colonel's house. I will stop and get the pizzas." Sam started turning off her computers and putting things away.

"O.K. Meet you there in an hour. I have to lock up my office. Teal'c and I will get the drinks."

"Great, see you there."

Sam finished securing her lab and turned off the lights as she was leaving and closed the door on a dark room with a few lights blinking here and there on some of her equipment. The silence was only broken from the hum and clicks from the same equipment.

Then her computer monitor blinked on and words typed out. "I am here!"
