"He kinda creeps me out." Sam confessed, getting into the passenger side of Jack's pickup.
"Seemed okay to me, but too... happy."
"He wouldn't let go of my hand. And he kept smiling at me..."
"How could he help it?"
Sam gave a small smile to Jack, doing up her seatbelt as he started the engine.
"Where to?"
"For what?"
"Dinner."
"McDonald's."
"Mickey D's?"
"Yeah. I need a burger."
"Those aren't really burgers, but if you think so that's fine with me."
----
"I still say she's a Goa'uld."
"Jack, she's Martha Stewart!"
"Exactly."
"You confuse me sometimes." Sam muttered, shaking her head as the doorbell rang. She looked at Jack who got up to answer it.
"General. Ah... hello."
Sam stood up and walked over to stand beside Jack. "Hello, General. What can we do for you?"
General Wethers was standing at their door, holding his hat. "Good evening, Colonel, Major. Is it okay if I take Major Carter away for a minute or two? There's something I need to discuss her."
Jack looked at Sam, who was biting her lip. He shrugged. "Alright, Sir... where should we talk?"
"Come for a walk with me."
Sam nodded and slipped her shoes on, grabbing her jacket and giving Jack's hand a small squeeze before stepping out the door alongside the general.
----
"So, Sir, what did you want me for?"
"I wanted to talk to you, Major."
"About what?"
"You. Me."
"I don't understand sir."
"I've seen the way you look at me, Major."
"Pardon, sir?"
"You heard me."
"I'm sorry, sir, but I don't understand what you're saying."
The general turned to her and clutched her shoulders. "You want me."
"What the hell?!"
"Yes, you do."
"You're delusional."
"You're so sexy when you're mad."
"What the fuck?!"
"Kiss me."
"No!" she tried wrenching free of the general, who held her tighter and leaned forward.
"Yes, you will. Your friends aren't here now." Sam raised her fist and hit him in the jaw, Wether's instinct kicking in as she made contact. He sent a punch to her eye before she kicked him between the legs and ran off.
----
"Sam, what the hell?!" Jack exclaimed as she ran through the door.
"Close the fucking door! Lock it!"
Jack did what she said. "Where's the general?" he asked, turning around. Sam was sitting on the easychair in the family room, sobbing quietly. He walked over to her and put his hands on her shoulders. "Sam, what happened?"
"He tried to kiss me. And said I was sexy."
Jack's jaw dropped and he pulled her into a hug instantly. "Oh, Sam..."
"I punched him."
"He deserved it."
"I sacked him."
Jack gave a small smile. "That's my girl."
"He got me in the eye."
Jack pulled away a bit, running a finger along the eye. "Yeah, it's starting to show."
"What can we do? He's the influence to the people who can change the regs. Without him..."
"Hammond'll know what to do. I'll call him right now."
"Jack, it's eleven-thirty."
"I don't care. That man practically lives there." he picked up the phone and dialed. "O'Neill for Hammond." he waited a minute. "General. That government guy you got is a creep. He tried to get to Sam. Yes, sir. No, sir, I'm not lying. Alright. Thanks, sir. 'Kay, see you in ten." he hung up and turned back to Sam. "He told me to get you there ASAP." Jack hugged her again. "God, Sam. We'll figure this out..."
"I sure hope so." se mumbled into his chest.
----
Hammond shook his head. "I didn't think his head was put on straight."
"He's a creep, sir. Just like I said." Jack pointed out.
"I'm not sure what we can do."
"Can't we do something? We can court-martial him, can't we? He tried to kiss Sam and retaliated when she used self-defense. She's got the bruise to prove it."
"We can try, sir." Sam agreed.
"Yes, we can. I'll see what I can do."
----
They'd finally gotten the date for the court hearing, that was set a month from the day that they discussed the situations with Wethers. The hearing was to be double. A change of regulation, and a court-martial of the general.
SG-1 were standing outside the courtroom, Janet along for the ride.
Daniel hugged Sam. "Good luck, guys."
"Thanks, Danny."
"As the Lakota natives say according to DanielJackson, 'It is a good day to die.'."
"Not sure if that's the most encouraging thing, Teal'c. But thanks."
"You are welcome."
Janet hugged Sam, then Jack. "Kick his ass."
"Geez. Two problems in one..." Jack muttered, rubbing Sam's back.
"It'll work out. I hope."
"Colonel, Major. Take your seats." Hammond reminded them as he passed, their lawyer, Major Trent Palades, walked beside him. Trent was a new recruit for the SGC, around thirty or thirty four and tall with short blonde hair.
"Yes, sir."
Daniel hugged them again and Teal'c bowed his head.
----
"Court adjourned." the judge slammed her mallet on the podium thingy and nodded. "Dismissed."
General Wethers looked pissed. Not happy at all. He stood and sulked out, mumbling.
Meanwhile, Sam and Jack walked calmly out until they were past the doors, where Sam did a small victory dance and Jack just stood, smiling.
"We did it!"
"Took them long enough." Daniel muttered.
"Court thingies take time." Jack pointed out.
"Yeah, but. It was six weeks."
"Still."
"But it worked! We got the regs CHANGED!" Sam grinned and threw her arms around Jack's neck. Jack wrapped his own around her waist and picked her up.
"Yes, we did." the two kissed, Daniel turning his head and clearing his throat quietly.
"Guys? We're kinda in the middle of a courthouse."
Jack gave a small 'oh yeah' and set Sam down, one arm still around her.
Hammond walked over alongside Major Palades, smiling. "Colonel, Major. I guess congratulations are in order."
Sam smiled. "Yeah, I guess so. Thank you, sir."
"Thanks sir. But I think we owe it to Major Palades."
The lawyer gave an honest smile and shrugged. "Thanks, sir."
"You're welcome, Major. Now, people. I say we all go out for dinner." Daniel nodded, Hammond nodded, Janet said 'yay!' and Teal'c gave a small bow of his head.
Daniel turned his head to the major. "You want to come?"
He shrugged. "Why not."
Jack shot an arm up, almost hitting Teal'c in the face. "Off to O'Malley's! ... Er, sorry about that T."
"It is alright."
----
Jack stuck part of his tongue out of his mouth, biting his lip in concentration as he dragged the crayon along the maze towards the treasure. Hitting a dead-end, he groaned. "I thought they made these for kids!"
"They did, Sir." Janet agreed.
"Then why can't I do it?! Stupid pirates..."
"Jack, you haven't quite reached that level of intelligence yet." Daniel pointed out.
"Oh, thanks a lot." Jack sighed, rolling his eyes.
Sam picked up a crayon and poked the placemat in front of Jack. "Can I give it a try?"
He slid it in front of her. "Be my guest."
Sam started from the pirate standing on the bow of his ship and followed the maze to the treasure. "That was simple."
"Yeah, you with your PhD."
Sam shrugged and stood up. "I'm gonna run off to the washroom." Janet and Daniel stood up, claiming they had to, too. The three headed off to the washrooms and Trent watched after them before leaning over to Jack and whispering something into his ear. Jack raised an eyebrow, chuckled and nodded, muttering "Yeah, something like that."
Trent gave a small nod and sunk back into his seat smiling to himself.
----
"Well, I'm going to head off." Daniel announced, standing up and grabbing his coat. "Jack, can I pay you my part of the bill tomorrow morning?"
"Yeah, fine."
"Thanks." he gave a wave. "'Night everyone." turning around, he headed for the door.
Trent watched after him for a couple seconds before glancing at Jack who mouthed 'Go on!'. He nodded and sprung up, jogging after Daniel. "Wait, Doctor Jackson!" Daniel spun around on his heals, watching Trent catch up to him. He asked the archaeologist something, whereas Daniel thought for a minute, smiled, and nodded. Trent grinned and ran back for his coat, returning to Daniel as the two left the restaurant.
"What was all that about?" Janet asked, looking at Jack, who was smiling smugly.
"What? Oh, nothing... nothing at all..."
AN: Boy or girl? ;) Need opinions. This chapter's kinda short, but the next ones will pick up. Trent'll be reintroduces as well... And I wasn't sure what adjourned meant, so I assumed it meant 'finis'. I didn't find the dictionary, so yeah...
"Seemed okay to me, but too... happy."
"He wouldn't let go of my hand. And he kept smiling at me..."
"How could he help it?"
