Two hours of searching every last inch of the base proved to be futile. No one could find Sam. There was no trace of her leaving either. "I don't understand. She didn't take anything, didn't even make her bed." Daniel was running his hands through his hair. "Why would she leave without taking anything?"
"Would she have gone through the Stargate?" Gen. Hammond asked.
"To where?" Jack asked, his voice displaying his worry.
They were all in her quarters, going through her stuff. Sam was on her bed, watching her friends, her family, search for traces of where she might be.
"I don't know." Daniel sighed, slumping down onto Sam's chair.
Determined not to give up, they left her room and searched the grounds again. By two they had decided to gate to different worlds. "Don't spend more time then is necessary to see if Maj. Carter is there." Gen. Hammond instructed each team that went out.
When all teams were back by five, each having gone to two different worlds, and each team was fruitless, Gen. Hammond called off the search. "Maybe she just needed a break." He tried to reassure everybody.
Jack sat in his room fidgeting. He was very unsettled. This was not right. There was something terribly wrong. He heard a knock on his door and beckoned the person to come in. It was Daniel.
"Jack, something's not right here. Sam would not just 'need a break' and not tell anyone."
"I know Daniel. A person doesn't just disappear. Especially a person like Sam."
Daniel thought a moment. "Tell me about this 'ghost' you saw last night."
Sam, who had been sitting next to Jack on his bed, sat up. "Come on Jack, you know it was me."
"It was nothing. Just the covers, like you said."
Daniel frowned. "I'm going to see if Janet has come up with any theories, I'm all out."
"Let me know if any of them pan out." Jack called as Daniel walked out of his room. Jack sighed. "Sam, where are you?"
"I'm right here Jack!" Sam shouted. She began to cry in her desperation. "Come on Jack, you know I'm here, just think a little bit more!"
Jack got out of bed and left his room. Sam's sobs grew deeper as she started to lose hope of ever being found again.
