"Right, the next round is on me." Sam said as she rose. After spending the
entire day at the amusement park they had ended up at a bar near their
motel. "Same again?"
"Yeah." Jack replied downing the last of his bottle of beer.
"Can I have a coke instead Sam? I think that last beer went to my head." Daniel said.
"Sure. Teal'c more orange juice?" Sam asked.
"Yes thank you Captain Carter." Teal'c replied. Sam walked across to the bar.
"So did we have fun today?" Jack asked.
"Apart from nearly throwing up several times yeah. I think Sam had a good time too." Daniel said finishing his beer.
"I agree Daniel Jackson, Captain Carter had a most enjoyable time today. As did I."
"Good." Jack's eyes flicked up to where Sam was talking to a man at the bar. "We should do this more often. Team days out, I'll have to talk to Hammond about it when we get back. Depending on whether we can spring Carter from her lab. Do you think that guy is harassing her?" He asked as the man put his hand on Sam's arm.
"I'm sure she's fine Jack. I wouldn't worry about it." Daniel said reassuringly.
"I don't like it." Jack said as the man rubbed his hand up Sam's arm. "I'm going over there."
"Jack, Sam's a grown woman she can handle it."
"I'm going over there." Jack rose and was half way across the bar before Daniel could say anything else. "Sam is everything alright?" Jack asked.
"It's fine honestly." Sam said shooting him a reassuring smile.
"Are you sure this guy isn't bothering you?" He asked as the guy still held onto her arm.
"I can handle it I'm fine."
"Listen to the lady grandpa. Go back to your table." The drunken guy taunted Jack.
"Why don't you go and sit down Carter, I'll get the drinks?" Jack offered.
"I'm here now, I'll be fine." Sam said gently nodding at him.
"Yeah, leave her alone I saw her first." The drunken guy said clutching tighter onto Sam's arm. Jack saw red and punched the guy in the face before Sam could do anything to stop him the drunken guy felt to the floor. Daniel and Teal'c were quickly at their side.
"Daniel, Teal'c get him the hell out of here." Sam instructed.
"Sam......." Daniel started.
"Now Daniel." Sam snapped.
"Come on Jack." Daniel and Teal'c dragged him out of the bar.
"Ice please." Sam said to the barman, who handed her a tea towel filled with ice. "Follow my finger?" Sam said to the guy who was trying to sit up. She tried to assess him for concussion. "How many fingers?" Sam held up two fingers. "Good. You haven't got a concussion; hold the ice to your eye to stop the bruising." She said as she helped him to his feet. "Can I get some coffee too?" She asked the barman.

Ten minutes later Sam walked out of the bar and tossed a bag of ice at Jack's chest. Jack had been pacing between Daniel and Teal'c shaking his hand.
"Ice it so it doesn't bruise." Sam said in a sharp tone. "Nobody's going to press charges but your not allowed in the bar again."
"Thanks." Jack mumbled.
"How could you do that start a brawl in the middle of bar? I told you I was fine and that I could handle one drunken idiot. But no you had to be the bid macho Colonel." Sam screamed at him. "I thought you understood by now that I could take care of myself. I thought I had proved that to you. Obviously not, thanks for ruining a great day Colonel. I'm going to bed." She began to stalk off.
"Carter." Jack yelled after her.
"Go jump in front of a kwoosh sir." She called over her shoulder.
"Well that was fun Jack." Daniel slapped him on the back.
"Shut up Daniel." Jack said as he stomped off after Sam.
"Should we go after him Daniel Jackson?" Teal'c asked.
"Leave them too it. I think they need to have this out." Daniel replied.
"Yeah." Jack replied downing the last of his bottle of beer.
"Can I have a coke instead Sam? I think that last beer went to my head." Daniel said.
