Sam tried for ten minutes to get Janet to talk to her, but nothing worked. She tried everything she could think of, to no avail. She finally gave up and tried to decided to try Teal'c. Something was going on, and she had no clue what it was.

"Teal'c, Janet and Jack are ignoring me." She said as she walked into Teal'c's room. He was meditating. He was in one of those deep states. Probably talking to his symbiote. After trying to get some recognition from him, she gave up.

Gen. Hammond was sleeping, she knew she'd never rouse him.

As a last resort, though she didn't think it'd do much good, she went to Jack's room. He was sitting on his bed reading. Sam had long since realized that she could walk through doors and walls, so she did. She was able to sit on Jack's bed, which she found odd. She looked up at him and then at the book he was reading. A fishing book, of course.

"Jack, can you hear me?" Sam was beginning to feel desperate. "Jack." She said quietly. "JACK!" She yelled. Nothing. She sighed and lay back on his bed.

"Whoa!" Jack jumped up.

"What?" Sam asked, sitting up. "Can you see me?"

Jack just stared at his bed. He shook his head and closed his eyes. When he opened them again he dropped the book.

"Jack? What is it?" Sam asked, knowing he couldn't see her.

"I get back from a terrible mission, and now I have ghosts!" He exclaimed, still looking at his bed.

"He can see my outline on the bed." Sam reasoned. "If he can see that, maybe he can see other things." She stood and went to his mirror.

Jack laid his book down and studied his bed.

Sam tried to blow breath on the mirror, but it seemed even it couldn't see her. She truly was a ghost. With a sigh she looked back over at Jack.

After examining his bed Jack decided that it was a trick of his eyes. He probably needed glasses. He turned off the light and crawled into bed.

Sam sat on his chair; her knees brought up to her stomach. She watched him sleep; knowing none would come to her.

The next morning she left Jack when he started to get dressed. She headed to the briefing room, wanting to be the first to get there, per usual. It didn't matter if no one could see her.

"So the oddest thing happened to me last night." Jack was telling Teal'c as they walked into the briefing room. "I thought I saw a ghost. Or rather, the outline of a ghost." Teal'c raised his eyebrow. "I know what you are going to say, and believe me, I don't either." Jack stopped when he looked up. "You're kidding? We beat Carter?"

"NO!" Sam shouted.

Ten minutes later Daniel, who had woken around five, was seated next to Janet. Gen. Hammond was at the end, and Jack and Teal'c were across from Daniel and the doctor. "Uh, where's Sam?" Daniel asked.

Jack shrugged. "In her room perhaps?" Teal'c asked.

"It's not like her to not be here." Janet said, concern for her friend clear on her face.

Gen. Hammond asked Janet to go find Sam.

"Daniel, tell me, do you believe in ghosts?" Jack asked. Teal'c looked at him with raised eyebrows. "I know Teal'c, but if he does, then I may not be crazy."

Daniel studied Jack for a moment before going into a lengthy reason about why he did believe in ghosts. "Why? Did you see one last night?"

"Not exactly. Just the imprint on my bed, but it went away."

"It was probably just the cover Jack."

Janet came into the room out of breath. "I can't find her."

"Because I'm here!" Sam shouted. Tears began to well up in her eyes. What was happening?

Jack immediately jumped up and went to the phone to overhead page her. "Major Carter please report to the briefing room immediately."

After a few minuets and still no Sam, the search began.
