Here you go, hope you like it :)

Sam and Jack had agreed to meet at the paint ball place the following morning. When they arrived Sam had Janet and Cassie with her and Jack had Daniel and Teal'c riding with him, the night before the four had decided that they wanted to watch the competition, the leaflet had said that cameras were going to be set up all over the arena as well as some on the guns. The four had decided they were going to watch from the viewing gallery as well as watch the camera feeds.

Jack and Sam left Daniel and the others and made their way over to the desk where they handed over the money and got their guns and safety goggles. After slinging the guns over their shoulders and putting the spare ammo in the pack that Sam was carrying, which also contained flash bangs she had made, she had checked the day before that they were allowed and had been told that as long as they weren't too powerful they were fine, they made their way over to the board that showed the matches. They also took the chance to check out the competition as most of the other players were studying the board too. They could see that the manager had been right about the mixture, they could see that some people that Jack was sure he recognised from TV as well as some people Sam knew she had seen in town. There was also an obvious lack of woman present, only Sam and one other were present. When the other woman introduced herself to Sam and she and Jack soon found out that she was only here because her husband's original partner was ill and since she was a fair shot, she was a cop, she had offered to take his place at the last minute.

As they spoke Jack saw some people he recognised and once there was a break in the conversation between Sam and the cop he said to Sam, "Don't look now but I see trouble."

Sam, of course, followed his gaze and made eye contact with one of the marines from SG5, she was pretty sure his name was Major Castleman. He smiled at her and tapped his partner, who Sam recognised as the leader of the team, Major Harper, on the shoulder and gestured towards her and Jack then the both of them made their way over. The four all saluted each other and Harper asked Jack, "What are you doing here?"

"Oh Carter and I are competing Major," Jack answered with a smile.

The manager called for attention and Harper whispered to Jack, "Good luck and just because you're our superior officer, don't think we're going to take it easy on you."

Jack looked at Sam and she smiled, "Oh don't worry, I'm sure we'll be fine."

Harper and Castleman chuckled and the four of them turned their attention to the manager. He made quick work of explaining the rules and then he called for the first three pairs.

Since Sam and Jack had been the last pair to sign up they weren't doing anything until the fourth and final match of the round. They watched Harper and Castleman go out into the arena for the first round and then the two of them sat to the side and used a board outside in the car park to check the aims on their guns. After a few shots they made their way back inside to watch the end of the first match, knowing that if they won they may end up fighting on of the three pairs.

The match ended with Castleman and Harper emerging victorious. The next four rounds took slightly longer than the first one and Sam was pleased to see that the team with the only other woman member did well and won their round. When it was their turn Sam and Jack gave Janet and the rest a smile before they made their way out into the arena, putting their goggles down as they went.

The buzzer went, indicating that the round had begun. Sam and Jack quickly found a defensible location and while they both kept an eye out came up with a plan.

By the end of the round Sam and Jack both had paint on them but it wasn't much, unlike the other pairs they had been up against. They had managed to take out one team completely and Sam had gotten off a lucky shot at the remaining member of the other team, the first had been shot by the team Sam and Jack had taken out.

The next match that Sam and Jack were in was against the two marines from work and the team with the cop. This match lasted longer than the first one Sam and Jack had taken part in, because the marines were obviously very good at evasion and the third pair were very good at what they were doing. Sam and Jack had watched from the same building they had been shooting from the previous day as the woman had shot Castleman in the chest and managed to get Harper in the arm before the two of them had dived for cover and returned fire.

For most of the match Sam and Jack had stayed in the building, taking pot shots at anyone they happened to see and the one time someone, Harper, had tried to sneak into the building behind them Jack had been waiting for him. Sam had put twigs on the ground outside the door which meant it was impossible to get up to the door quietly and Jack had covered Harper completely in paint from head to foot before he could get away. That had taken the two marines out of the game and once they had left the arena Jack and Sam had turned their attention to the other team. The plan they had was simple but brilliant, although it wasn't something they would ever use at work. They both left the building, since their location had obviously been made, and while Sam had made her way across the open clearing Jack had used the building as cover and moved round to the trees where he hoped he would have a good angle on the husband and wife team. He watched as Sam carefully made her way from the cover of the building to the small wall he had rolled behind and then towards a small boulder. He saw spotted movement in front of him and to his left. As he raised his gun to aim at the spot to his left he yelled out quickly, "Carter, twelve o'clock thirty degrees." Sam got the message and as Jack opened fire her saw Sam stand and fire right at the spot he had indicated.

At his words however his target moved slightly towards their partner, it was completely involuntary Jack knew but it gave him a perfect shot, which he took before turning his attention back to Sam to see how she was fairing. She was still firing so he guessed that the trees were hindering her a little. Because she was standing she was also getting hit by both of the pair. Knowing he had taken care of one of them already he watched the trees that Sam was firing at. He saw a shadow move to the left slightly and fired at it. Sam ceased firing and moved away from the limited cover of the boulder and completely out into the open. She moved forward confidently, knowing Jack had her back. Jack had indeed gotten both of them and ended the game with his and Sam's win.

They all made their way back to the reception, congratulating each other as they went. "You two work well together," the woman was saying, "I've seen the same thing with cops who have worked together for years."

Sam and Jack shared a smiled before Jack answered, "We've got each other's backs and we know it. Nice shot at Castleman by the way."

She smiled, "I take it you know them?"

Sam nodded, "Their both stationed at the same base as us."

The two smiled and everyone shook hands before the husband and wife made their way up to the viewing gallery. Sam handed Jack the pack and stripped off her jacket, which was covered in paint, and walked away to go and get another one from the car.

Jack watched her go and settled down to watch the other semi-final match, to see what they were going to be up against. The match lasted nearly half an hour and it was a close called thing, so close that video replay had to be used to decide the winners since all six of the contestants had been shot in the chest, meaning all of them were out.

The final started and Sam and Jack separated quickly. After watching the team they were up against, the winners from the year before, they had noticed that for the first two rounds they had kept to one area of the arena and so had planned accordingly. Jack made his way through the trees on the far left, knowing that Sam was somewhere to his right. As he made his way through the trees he checked he still had the flash bang Sam had passed him in his pocket.

As he got to his position and squatted with a clear view of the clearing where they planned on ambushing their opponents, he could hear gun fire off to his right which meant Sam had managed to get their attention. He listened and heard running and knew that Sam was now drawing them to the clearing. As he watched Sam came into the clearing before heading over to the trees opposite him. That meant that the two following her were close behind as they had agreed that if there was enough of a gap she would take cover with him, but if they were close behind she would take cover away from him since they didn't want to give away his position. He took a quick glance and saw that her back was covered in paint and the she seemed to be limping slightly, although he wasn't sure.

He turned his attention back to where Sam had come out of the trees and saw that the two men were coming out. They slowed down slightly as they entered the clearing but they had already made the mistake of actually leaving the cover of the trees and leaving themselves open for Jack to hit, which he did, repeatedly. The one in front he got properly but the man behind grabbed his friend and pulled him back behind a tree. Jack whistled once and knew that Sam would know what to do. He pulled his flash bang from his pocket and primed it before moving slightly from behind his tree and throwing it towards the trees the other team had just ducked behind. As they waited for the bang Sam legged it across the clearing and together the two of them made their way over to where they had thrown the flash bangs, Sam slightly in front since she was already hit. They rounded the trees and quickly took out the two guys, who were sat shaking their heads trying to clear the effects of the flash bangs.

Sam and Jack offered the men their hands and pulled them to their feet before the four of them made their way back to the reception area. Once there the manager handed them the tickets and congratulated them on winning. After he was done the team they had just beaten came over and shook hands with them. "You sure can run fast," one of them said to Sam.

She gave him a smile, "Comes from having lots of practice."

So it was a little longer than any of the others but hey
