A/N this is all one chapter I just placed it in that many locations I figured the ********** things might help not confuse anyone. Enjoy.
"Jonas wait up" Jack said jogging slightly to catch up to him"
"Colonel"
"Where's Daniel
"I haven't seen him since he left the briefing this morning"
"Ah crap"
"Something the matter Colonel"
"Maybe, depends if I find him before hand"
"I'll tell him your looking for him"
"Do one better than that for me, stop him from telling Thor and the others about Carter"
"Why?"
"Cause they don't have to know"
"But"
"She doesn't need it now Jonas, you saw what happened in the briefing, if Major Carter wants to tell them I'm sure she will"
"OK"
"Good now walk with me, what I'm going to tell you goes no further than SG-1 and as far as Carter knows its a top secret mission"
Next stop Teal'c's room Jack thought to himself.
***********************************************************************************
Jack knocked at the door, opened it and poked his head round the door to find Teal'c doing his usually thing
"Sorry Teal'c"
"O'Neill how can I be of assistance"
Jack took that as a 'come in sit' gesture and did just that, followed by Jonas.
"I need your help with Carter"
"Is Major Carter unwell?"
"No, she's fine I think, we just need to cheer her up, show her she's still part of the team and all"
"I see" he said raising his eyebrow a little
Ten minutes later the group emerged from the room intent on finding Daniel"
***********************************************************************************
"Hey guys" Daniel spoke as he entered the infirmary
"Well its about time" Jack said sarcastically
"Where's Sam?" Daniel asked
"Major Carter is resting at home" Teal'c replied
"What? is she"
"Fine, she's fine" Jack piped in
"The Colonel with our help is planning an assignment for Sam" Jonas said
"An assignment, is that a good idea"
"Daniel it is not only a good idea, but as a doctor and with Sam's current condition I not only approve it but insist on it, it will do her good to go off base for a few hours" Dr Frasier said as she entered the room
"Daniel"
"Jack"
"A word" he said moving him away from the others
"What's wrong"
"Nothing yet"
"Then why"
"Ground rules for you coming with on this one"
"Jack" Daniel said with a puzzled look
"One: No talking of today's little discussion in the briefing, no telling her any more you translated, no asking her anything that remotely ties to it ok"
"But"
"Two: and most important of all, "Thor and he's buddy's don't find out about Carter and Alex when you show the things to them got it"
"Sure"
"Good"
"And Jack"
"Yeah"
"What makes you think I'd have told Thor anyway?"
Jack simply shrugged his shoulders "your in Daniel" he said returning with him to where Jonas, Teal'c and Dr Frasier stood "guys fill him in" he said as he turned to exit the infirmary"
"Jack where are you going?" Daniel asked
"Forgot something" he shouted back "T seven hours to pick up"
"Understood O'Neill"
***********************************************************************************
Jack approached Major Carter's lab, Siler had told him that Jacob Carter was last seen headed in that direction so it meant only one thing she was also going to be found there.
"Dad, I'll be fine"
"Sam"
"General Hammond and Colonel O'Neill wouldn't have authorised me to go if it was going to be that dangerous"
"Everything you do out there is dangerous"
"So is being here"
"You know what I mean"
"Dad I need to do this, it's my job and well as the Colonel would say, beats the hell outta paper work"
Jack was stood behind the slightly open door and couldn't help but want to laugh at that last comment, but he hid it with a cough and walked in.
"Carter, Jacob"
"Sir"
"Jack"
"Carter I thought I told you to leave already"
"I will after I finished here"
"Your pick up time is oh, six hours thirty five minutes away"
"I'm aware of that Sir"
Jack moved around the desk spotting some paper, he wrote something down as the conversation continued.
"Jack, what the hell are you thinking giving Sam the OK on this"
"Ah...we need her"
"Find someone else"
"Dad"
"Can't do that Sir"
"We need her or the mission is scrubbed"
"Really"
"General Hammond needs to see you Jacob" Jack said as he removed the note he just wrote from the pad
"Good I'll go straighten this out"
"It's important"
"So is this"
"Really important"
"I'll come with you Dad, could use the exercise"
"Carter thought you had work to do"
"I do"
"Then do it"
"Quicker you do that, quicker you go home, quicker all the fun of this mission begins and believe me your gonna love it where we are going"
"Sir"
"I better go see what George wants to see me for so I'll see you later" Jacob said as he hugged his daughter
Leaving Sam and Jack alone he spoke "be right back Carter" before heading off to catch Jacob up
"Jacob wait" he shouted
"I'm busy Jack"
"You need this" he replied handing him the note "read it"
Jacob unfolded the note and read it his eyes moving back and forth between Jack and the note as he did.
"This is the 'mission?' he asked
"Yeah" Jack replied shoving his hands in his pocket
"And she doesn't know"
"Nope"
"Jack she'll never agree"
"It's a mission Jake I'm meant to be her CO remember so she'll agree and besides I'm sticking to my end of our little deal"
Jacob grinned and walked off.
Come on what's so funny"
"Good luck Jack"
