Under the microscope - part 14
It's nearly over ... only one more chapter after this. Enjoy!
S - Mickey?
M - Cat! How did it go?
S - It was horrible. He practically accused me of sleeping with the colonel.
M - That asshole!!! Was he not listening to what I was yelling at him earlier?
S - He thinks that although the incident on P8Y 252 may have been necessary, there's still a lot of suspicion that the colonel and I are too close, and he feels he has to get to the bottom of it.
M - Did you yell at him?
S - No. I got very very angry, but I didn't yell, I just shook with rage.
M - That's you all over.
S - What's that supposed to mean?
M - You don't blow up in front of people, you bottle it up and hold it in and simmer inwardly.
S - Whatever.
M - You do! That's why the guys have only seen you cry a handful of times in all the years you've known them.
S - That's just cos I'm not a crier.
M - Nonsense. I've seen you cry twice in the last two days.
S - Stuff's been happening. I've been acting like a stupid little kid, I know.
M - Don't be silly, you've been acting like a perfectly normal human being. For once.
S - I need to go Mickey, I have to tell the colonel when his appointment is.
M - Okay, I'll catch you later.
S - Bye.

S - Colonel?
J - Carter! How did it go?
S - Badly. He hates us.
J - Bastard.
S - Your turn's at 1600 hours.
J - Yay. Can't wait.
S - Just don't kill him, sir.
J - Would I?
S - Mickey nearly hit him. And she's a desk jockey.
J - A spunky desk jockey with a very short temper. And a soft spot for you and me.
S - Fair enough. Just bear in mind that sending him back to Washington with a black eye would not work in our favour.
J - Duly noted.
S - Good luck sir.
J - Thanks Carter. I'll let you know how it goes.
S - Yes sir.

J - Team, check in.
D - Here Jack.
M - Yo Chingy.
S - Here sir.
T - I am here, O'Neill.
J - Mickey, you are a certifiable fruitcake.
M - Just trying to lighten the mood.
J - Oookaaaaay. I just got back from my interrogation, I'm in a very bad mood, but I think we're okay.
S - We are?
J - I have a good feeling.
D - Just a feeling?
T - Woolsey has no evidence, nor indeed any statements that implicate O'Neill and Major Carter.
M - So we won?
J - I don't know yet. I'm just saying, I have a good feeling that we might be nearing the end, and we're okay.
S - Thank God for that.
J - Amen.
M - So, pizza?
J - Pizza sounds good.
D - I could go for that.
T - I am quite hungry.
S - I'll bring the beer.
