Author's Notes: Pre-tag to Bad Guys, Sam and Daniel talk a little before she leaves for D.C.
--------------------
One morning, as Sam was in front of the mirror, putting on her dress blues, Daniel wrapped his arms around her. She smiled, and he asked her,
"How long will you be in Washington?"
She replied as she buttoned her shirt, "It should only be a couple of hours. The President just wants to know how things played out in that alternate Universe where the program was made public."
He remarked with a chuckle, "Motivated by purely political means, I'm sure. I'll bet he wants to know about the public reaction."
She retorted with a smile, "Something like that. Not many Presidents or any other political figures can reap the benefits of learn from alternate Universes."
She turned around and wrapped her arms around his waist. He asked as he caressed her jaw,
"Do you think you'll be back in time for the CDSI briefing?
"Hopefully. Those MALP pictures last night were pretty interesting - I think the General could give us the go on a mission. If there's a hold up, I'll call the base."
They gazed at each other for a long moment before their lips met in a tender kiss.
