Taking Notes (1/1)
By Sheryl Martin/Nantus
There is a certain corridor in the Cheyenne Mountain Complex that most personnel avoid
like the plague - or the mess hall, depending on your taste. In that hallway are a variety of
storage rooms, electrical rooms and a certain Colonel's office.
And, even with a mountain surrounding it, it is not as soundproof as many could want.
So when a certain Major walked by the junction of said corridor and the rest of the level
and heard loud and graphic cursing echoing off the walls, there was no doubt as to where
it was coming from. Nor the probable cause.
"Sir?" Glancing around the corner she could see into the sparsely decorated office and her
commanding officer sitting behind the desk; scowling.
"Carter…" He growled at the keyboard, jabbing at the keys with dagger-like precision.
"Is everything all right?" Moving just inside the room she waited as he glared at the
screen.
"This." Stab. "Report." Stab. "Is." Stab. "Driving me nuts." He peered up over the top of
the monitor. "If a Snake could get inside a computer…"
"Can I take a look?" Trying to sound as soothing as she could, Sam moved around beside
the irate Colonel. "Oh, the mission to P4X-836."
"If I never see another happy face…" Slumping back in his chair he looked at the ceiling
tiles as Carter moved in on the keyboard.
"Janet said the drugs wouldn't affect us unless we had prolonged exposure…" Her voice
trailed off as she bent over the desk, immersed in the screen. "Ah, here it is. You must
have accidentally accessed the spreadsheet function."
As her fingers moved over the keyboard Jack O'Neill fell silent, his gaze falling on the
black tshirt in front of him, the fabric taut over her body as it ran down and into her
uniform pants. The slightest bit of a gap was starting to open at the base of her spine as
she shifted her weight from side to side, causing a similar reaction from her CO. Leaning
back in his chair his eyebrows rose just as his eyes travelled further downwards, slipping
all the way to the regulation boots that held very little appeal for him. The blonde hair
had fallen away from the back of her neck, exposing ivory-colored skin that probably
hadn't seen the light of day since her last regulation haircut.
"Now we'll just cross-reference to my own report and Daniel's…" She muttered, shifting
from one foot to the other again; sending a ripple effect down her back and through the
man beside her.
"Yes. That would be good." He deadpanned, propping one elbow up on the arm of the
chair and his hand along the side of his face as he leaned even further back, glad that the
wall was nearby.
"Oh, you forgot to save to the hard drive as well." Sam shook her head with a sigh. "Sir,
we've been all over this before."
"I forgot." Jack began to rock back and forth in his chair, a wide grin on his face. "I'm
beginning to remember about the hard drive now, however."
Oblivious to his reaction Carter continued to tap on the keyboard. "I swear, Sir… there's a
reason why your office is hell and gone from the rest of the complex."
"Hmm."
"And you know that General Hammond is getting a little less patient with us not having
our reports in on time."
"Hmm."
"This is becoming a routine."
"Hmm."
Sam looked back over her shoulder with a smile. "Should I sign you up for special classes
on how to use the computer, Sir?"
Jack shrugged. "If you feel the need, Carter." He sat up in his chair, brushing imaginary
lint from his lap. "Of course, I could just stop doing reports…"
Standing up she pointed at the screen. "I don't think General Hammond would agree with
that. I've already compiled the data and sent it all to the printer in my lab. Better ink there
and I'll just hand it in along with mine."
"Which you've already completed."
"Of course." Walking around the edge of the desk she paused at the open door. "Any time
you need help…" She pursed her lips as if to whistle, then stopped. "Just call." A wide
grin and she was gone.
"I am *so* busted." O'Neill whispered to the empty room. Shaking his head with a wide
smile he began to type expertly on the keyboard. "Now for my next trick…"
