General Hammond smiled to himself just before he walked into the briefing
room, he could not wait to see how Jack and Sam reacted to seeing each
other after reading the letter the other was 'supposed' to have written. It
had been a good ideas of Daniel's to call them both in for a mission
straight after they had read the letters, who knew what they would have
done if they had not? The General smiled once more to himself and then
tried to hide any emotion from his face as he waked into the briefing room
to face them.
As he walked in he saw Jack, his 2IC of the base stand up and salute him, he smiled inwardly and gestured for Jack to sit back down. As the General was sitting down he saw Daniel and Teal'c walk in together both talking about something they had seen on TV that morning, winking at them he looked towards jack and said:
'Where's Major Carter?'
Jack looked up startled 'Sorry sir?'
'I said where is Major Carter, she should have been here by now'
'I don't know sir, sorry, why would you ask me, why not ask Teal'c or Daniel? They have been on base the whole time and most likely to have seen her' replied Jack getting more flustered by the second.
'I was just about to, are you ok?'
'Just fine sir, thank you'
'Daniel do you know where Major Carter is?' asked the General with a smile hidden from Jack'
'Oh no sorry sir I am sure I saw her in her lab before, do you want me to go and get her? He replied with a wicked glint in his eye.
'Jack will you please go and find out what is taking Major Carter so long, because I need to talk about the artifacts Doctor Jackson brought back last time, and I am sure you would much rather be doing something active, though please be quick.'
Jack looked up startled why was the General picking on him? He hadn't done anything that he knew of, but there was no way he could get out of this without making a scene
'Sure sir I'll be as quick as I can' and with that Jack stood up and quickly walked out of the room.
As soon as they were sure he was out of ear shot Daniel and the General burst out laughing, and Teal'c had an amused grin on his face. Teal'c stood up and nodded to the general and left to complete his part of 'The Plan'.
Teal'c hurried down the corridor towards the women's locker room, where he knew Major Carter would be, because Janet was there and had said she wanted to meet her before her briefing, which she thought was mean to be an hour later than it actually was. He stopped outside, raised one eyebrow and knocked on the door, Janet answered almost immediately saying that Sam was in the shower and they would have to work quickly.
They both hurried to the far end of the changing rooms and proceeded to put a micro-microphone on to Sam's black top she always wore. They worked quickly and only stopped briefly when Sam shouted though to Janet to borrow her shampoo. Janet smiled to herself and went and got the sweetest smelling shampoo she could find from her locker and passed it to Sam.
'Is this really all you have Janet? You know I have a mission in a few hours and I'm going to go smelling like roses and spring time, do you know how much the boys will tease me?'
'Sorry Sam it's all I have, honestly, and I'm sure they won't be too mean to you don't worry.'
Teal'c raised one eyebrow at this but continued to work quietly, when he had finished he looked up at Janet slipped a note into Sam's trouser pockets and left as silently as he could to go back to the briefing room.
**************************************************************************** **********
While Teal'c carried out his part of 'The Plan' Daniel and the General were discussing the next stage, to be carried out on the planet. While all of this was going on Jack was on his way down to the labs wondering what the hell was going on.
Jack stepped out of the lift and walked towards Sam's lab, wondering how he was going to handle the situation. He walked nervously to the door and raised a hand, he paused and then knocked, knowing this had to happen sooner or later. When no one answered he knocked again, then slowly opened the door to see an empty lab. He opened the door fully and walked slowly into the lab looking around, his eyes glancing over all of the things she kept in here. His eyes wandered towards her desk where he saw an open notepad, hoping it might give him a clue as to where his major was he walked over to it and picked it up. What he read gave him a shock, though at least he knew she had been there. On the pad was written 'Sam O'Neill' and many other combinations of it, he could not believe it, surely she wasn't thinking about marrying him? Surely this couldn't have been her but he looked again and saw instantly that it was her writing, and not typed like the letter he got from her. He looked around again hoping no one had seen him enter, he quickly placed the pad back on the deck and left the room. He walked back to the lift and walked slowly back to the briefing room to tell the General he could not find her.
**************************************************************************** **********
Sam stepped out of the shower and glanced round the locker room to see that Janet had left. She looked around and saw a note on the bench telling her to just keep the shampoo and that Janet would come and get it later. Sam walked over to her locker in the far corner of the room and pulled out her clothes, quickly she pulled out her clothes and pulled them on swiftly, wondering if her black top would keep her warm during the briefing, really hoping it would she left the room and hurried to the briefing room, hoping she would not be late she didn't think she could handle a angry Colonel (especially after the letter she had received from him) or General. Feeling in her pocket for a tissue she felt something strange, she pulled it out and saw that it was a note. Intrigued by what it was, and wondering when she had put it there, she started to open it when she heard shout from down the corridor behind her.
'Carter'
There it was again
'Carter wait up'
She slowed her pace a little and allowed her CO to catch her up wondering if he was going to bring up the letter. But by the look on his face now was not the time for that.
'Carter where the hell have you been, I've been looking for you all over the place, you do know the briefing was meant to start over 30 minutes ago'
'What? I'm really sorry sir I guess I lost track of time, I did not mean to'
'That is not the point, the point is that you have held up the rest of your team and General Hammond while I had to come and find you, now what do you have to say for yourself?'
'Sir I lost track of time I'm sorry'
'Come and see me in my office later and we'll discuss it there and you'll get what you can do to make up for it ok? Do not forget to apologise to the General ok?'
'Yes sir' replied a unhappy Carter.
And with that Jack walked off down the corridor towards the briefing room while all Carter could do was look down at the hands where she saw the note. She started to open it again while she hurried down the corridor after her CO again. Glancing back down to see what it said she stopped shocked, but not being able to react to it for she was at the briefing room door and four faces were staring at her, quickly she stuffed it into her pocket, she would have to ask the Colonel about it later. She went forward to face a briefing from hell, hoping the General would not be too angry with her.
