Chapter 12:
Summer sat dropped jawed after the meeting, unable to breath or to take in what she had just been told. She looked at the Colonel who saw her awe.
"Yeah I know."
He said picking up his files from the table. Sam tapped her files on the desk getting them all neat and tidy and offered a friendly smile.
"It's a lot to take in at once."
Summer nodded dumb struck. Jack spun her round in her chair, she didn't even notice, she just stood straight up and looked across the table at Doctor Jackson.
"And you do that ... kinda thing every week?"
Daniel looked around the room for a moment, why was she talking to him; Jack had blanked him completely when he had first met him, why was Summer being so nice?
"Oh yeah."
He sighed, remembering his awe and amazement, hell he was still fascinated by it all.
"Wow."
She mouthed. Summer turned around and over looked the gate room. Sam caught Jack's gaze for a moment and she raised her eyebrows, tilting her head towards the door. Jack checked his watch, it was lunchtime, he had promised her lunch before he wandered back to his bed to rest his heavy eyes. Jack gave a quick nod and placed his hand in the small of Summer's back. He startled her, he felt her jump.
"Hey, we're..."
He removed his palm and pointed to Sam and himself.
"Gonna go and get something to eat,"
He paused pointing out the door.
"You wanna come with?"
He cocked his head, grinning that boyish smile of his; Sam would normally of felt her inners melt, except this time that smile wasn't for her. She frowned momentarily then shrugged it off; he's probably just trying to make her feel welcome she told herself. Summer's reaction wasn't what Sam had expected thought.
"No thanks Jack, some other time for sure, but I err ... I need to get my bearings."
She shook her head and looked around the gate room one more. Jack smiled.
"For sure. You gonna be ok?"
He questioned, she caught his expression and smiled.
"I'm not a Captain any more Colonel, don't need your looking after."
She winked playfully and Jack blushed slightly.
"Ok Colonel, Talk to you later."
Normally Summer would have loved to catch up with Jack, but this wasn't normally was it now. After being told about the Stargate and its functions. Then hearing Jack's... Team SG-1 being de-briefed she was gob smacked and over whelmed with new information. This was usually something Summer hated but if she was going to work here, she had a 'need to know thingy' as Jack had simply put it.
She sat herself down at the huge oak hard table again and shook her head; this was unbelievable, although she'd have to see it in action before she truly was speechless.
