Chapter 21
"What did you do?!" He asked him dryly.
The explanation was likely to be long. And muscular.
Jack looked at Jacob - who seemed to be able to kill him with a single gaze - then set eyes on Sam, who always found a certain interest in her thighs.
"Jacob stay calm please." Jack said softly.
"Stay calm?!" Jacob exclaimed.
"Would I have said something?" Thor asked.
"With your second in command?!" Kerry exclaimed, boiling with rage. "I knew there was a shady thing going on between you! I don't know the military well, but non-frat regs don'ts are well known to me!
"You, shut up." Jacob replied in a hard tone towards the agent.
"I've heard enough. I've some very important things to reveal to my superiors." Kerry said.
Sam looked up, looking hard at Kerry.
"Don't forget to return the Tok'ra device which you had fun on me with Johnson." Sam told her.
Kerry, who had risen, stopped.
"Which device?" Jack asked.
"Sam, what are you talking about? We didn't lend out any of our devices."
"Agent Johnson has in her possession a device to search memories. It's the same as the Tok'ra, I recognized it." Sam explained to her father.
"This device was stolen from us several weeks ago." Jacob said categorically.
The glances were directed towards the agent Johnson, who tried to slip away without a sound. Sam was the fastest. She jumped on her feet and pushed Kerry to the floor.
"Let me go, you are completely mad!" Johnson shouted.
"Who do you work for?!" Sam asked, holding her hard on the floor.
"For the government! And your career is over!" Kerry shouted.
The first punch was fired, and a loud cracking sound was heard in the room, then followed a groan of pain.
"Who do you work for?! Answer!" Sam said.
"You broke my nose bi—"
Kerry did not have time to finish her sentence as Jack twisted her wrist.
"If I was you I'd shut my mouth Johnson. Soldiers! Contain Agent Johnson in a cell. We'll have several questions for her." Jack said.
The soldiers approached as Sam and Jack got up. Kerry was taken away and calm returned to the room. Walter arrived, and in front of the heavy silence and the murderous gazes of Jacob Carter, he cleared his throat.
"Colonel a call for you." He declared.
Sam walked over to the phone while Jack and Jacob were in a duel of glances.
"Carter. Mary? No, calm down... What do you mean 'he's safe'?... Yes, a miracle, obviously. We will arrive soon. See you later."
Sam hung up, stunned.
"Mark came out of the coma. He has nothing left. No sequelae." She said.
"Jacob did you used the healing device on your son?" Jack asked.
"Yes." Jacob replied.
"Damn Jacob..."
"It's my son O'Neill."
Sam lowered her head, knowing better than anyone the motives of her father.
"I've to get back to my ship." Thor said suddenly. "We will see us soon members of the Tau'ri."
A white light enveloped him and Thor disappeared. Jacob then returned to Jack.
"You and I are going to talk." He said dryly.
"Dad!" Sam exclaimed.
"Sam don't say anything please." Jacob Carter ordered his daughter.
Colonel Carter looked imploringly at her father, but Jacob took Jack's arm and rushed into the General's office. Sam stayed in the middle of the room as Daniel, Janet and Teal'c stood up. Loud voices were already coming from the office and Sam bit her lip, lowering her head. Daniel approached his friend and put his hand on her shoulder.
"It's gonna okay Sam don't worry. I'm sure your father knows he's the one who makes you happy." Daniel said.
They went out of the briefing room, letting Sam watch the scene that took place in front of her helpless eyes.
"You're her commanding officer! How could you?!" Jacob yelled.
"Oh Jacob stop this! You know very well that I would never risk her career!" Jack replied.
"You have just done it! I trusted you Jack! And you, you kissed my daughter?! MY DAUGHTER Jack!"
"I know who she is! And I know she's my second in command, but none of you should have known about it!" Jack said.
"We shouldn't have known?! How long has this story lasted?!" Jacob asked, out of rage.
"It happened only today Jacob!"
"And I have to believe you?! You are reckless!"
The office door suddenly opened and they turned quickly to look at Sam.
"STOP! That's enough both of you! Daddy, what's wrong with you?!" She accused him.
"What's wrong with me?! I return the question to you girl!"
"I'm no longer a child!"
"You're military, dammit! There are laws! You will be purchased by court martial!" Jacob yelled, pointing at both of them.
"Dad stop this please!"
"Since when do you not think about anything Sam?! Your commanding officer? Seriously?!" Jacob yelled.
"I'm the one who didn't think about anything? Since when do you use an alien device in public?!"
"I was alone in the room!"
"And we were alone outside!" Sam yelled in turn.
"It's not an excuse for that girl! You know very well that the law is formal! What's wrong with you?"
"What's bothering you so much?!"
"Don't start on this subject Sam!"
"It's my life!"
"And that's your career!"
"Listen Jacob, no one in this base will say anything. The people present at the briefing will say nothing. This incident is closed. It should not have happened and it will not happen again." Jack said, trying to calm things down.
Sam remained stoical as she heard these words. Her heart had broken into millions of pieces.
"Good." Jacob said, dryly.
Sam was trying to catch Jack's words. Tears rose to her eyes, but she did not want to show her weaknesses in front of her commanding officer.
"Carter?" Jack asked, surprised by the silence and the lowing head of his second in command.
Sam bit her cheek and then raised her head to the two men. Her eyesight blurred and she ran away from the office.
"Ah well done Jack!" Jacob grew angry.
"Excuse me?!" Jack turned irritated.
"You kiss her, you make her fell in love with you, and how do you treat her afterwards? My daughter is not a rag that is thrown when it no longer serves O'Neill!"
"Are you kidding?! You just lectured us like teenagers! What did you want me to say at the end?!" Jack replied.
"You better catch up!"
"Oh for cryin' out loud Jacob! I don't understand your behaviour!"
"Make her smile again! Quickly!" Jacob said categorically.
"I only wish that! I take your words for granted Jacob, I will make your daughter happy, whether you like it or not." Jack replied as he walked out the door.
"Do it." Jacob sighed wearily.
Jack jumped in search of Sam. What an idiot he was! Jacob had annoyed him and he had told him what Jacob wanted to hear without even thinking about what Sam would feel. At the moment she had to think that he had nothing to do with her and that he had kissed her out of pity ... He was terrified at the idea that the young woman could hate him after his unhappy words. Where the hell could she be? He went initially to her lab but it was closed. He then checked the locker room, but once again she was absent. He decided to check Teal'c's quarters, but she was not there. At the corner of a corridor he passed Teal'c, his search had already lasted ten minutes. He was not going to make a call all over the base! Teal'c told him that he had met the Colonel in a daze, and she asked if he had seen Daniel. After that she had left very quickly. Jack grimaced, he could feel the confrontation with the archaeologist if Sam explained to Daniel what had just happened. He nevertheless walked over to the linguist's office and heard Sam's sobbing voice. It was not often the astrophysicist choked up like that, and most of all going directly to Daniel. Jack suspected that the great tiredness in which she had felt and the last few days near Daniel had made her take refuge here. He knocked cautiously at the door when he heard his best friend say 'that she deserved much better than all that.' Daniel opened the door and looked at Jack.
"It's not really a good time Jack." He said dryly.
"Daniel let me in please."
"No." Daniel replied dryly.
"Daniel listen—"
"No you listen!" The archaeologist cut him off.
He stepped out of the room and closed the door behind him.
"You're a bastard!" Daniel threw him in his face.
Jack made no reply, knowing that he deserved the words of his friend.
"When will you stop being so stupid and such... such a dick with her eh?! I'm tired of seeing her unhappy because once in your life you cannot assume what you feel for her! And don't even try to talk to me about this damn law, because usually it doesn't bother you to break one or two regs when it suits you! Isn't she important enough to you to act like that?! Because if that's the case, if you're not going to make things right, then really, get out!" Daniel said with one tirade.
He took his breath as he glared at Jack O'Neill. The latter encased the words spoken by his best friend.
"I need to see Sam. Please." Jack said.
The tone he used surprised Daniel. The door opened and Sam appeared.
"I'm going with you, sir." She said in a broken, weary voice, accentuating the last word.
