Why am I the one always left in the dark?
Well, sometimes I seem to know more than even Hammond does, so maybe I
should take that back. Now, where was I? Oh, yes…I began seeing some
interesting things going on here at the SGC about a year ago…or it could
have been a little longer than that…but that doesn't matter. What
matters is that a friend of mine just sacrificed his life.
I don't know how it came about—everyone refuses to give me any
details—but somehow Sam and Jack were able to bend the rules a little
and get together. Actually, I was very happy for them. It just kind of
took me a little by surprise, that's all. No, really I was jealous.
Yeah, I know, that's not exactly something ordinary for me.
I mean, I thought it was unfair that they could find love and
happiness, while I was doomed to live a life alone. I've fallen in love,
and it's under some circumstance that I can't stay with her or vice
versa. I'm not even going to go into it.
Let's see…they started dating, and nothing changed in their
professional relationship. To be honest, I really wasn't paying that
much attention to what was going on with them. I was still trying to get
more information on how they managed to get past the regulations. While
I was doing this, Jack finally got Sam to come to his cabin to go
fishing. I'd say they had a good time, and I don't mean with catching
fish, either.
Shortly after their little rendezvous at Jack's cabin, a diamond ring
appeared on Sam's hand. They started living together, but still, nothing
changed at the SGC. It was if nothing had ever happened between them.
That is, until those two were left alone in the commissary, or even the
locker room. Trust me, I know from experience what they might have done
in the latter. I learned never to enter the locker room without
knocking first.
It's sad, though. They were just three weeks away from their wedding,
and this had to happen. I don't know exactly what happened, but I know
Jack voluntarily blew himself up. Sam wouldn't give the details during
the debriefing, so that's about all I know.
We were on some planet—P4A-779, I think. We found a pretty advanced
civilization with some sort of doomsday device. Something happened and
it was going to annihilate everyone unless someone could fix it.
Naturally, Sam volunteered. Jack joined her, claiming it would be best
that we stay in pairs.
Next thing I knew, Sam was running out of the complex the device was
in, and shortly thereafter, it exploded. I asked her what had happened,
and she didn't answer. Teal'c asked, too. It was as if we weren't even
there. Mumbling something, she dialed Earth and we were gone. She's been
distant ever since.
