The walk to the buses was long, slow, and tiring. Jack regretted all the crap he had brought, even if it was useful and practical. The rest of the group had joined them at their spot just in time to see Jack and Sam finish stuffing the last blanket into a bag. "Just in time guys." Jack had joked.
When they finally got to the helicopter, the group sighed relief as they sat down. Janet didn't waste any time falling asleep on Daniel's shoulder. Daniel looked down at her, smiling. He sent Jack a 'thank you' look, to which Jack nodded. Good for him, Jack thought.
Hammond had fallen asleep, leaning against the glass window. Jack smiled, knowing that he'd have a terrible headache in the morning. Teal'c was sitting up straight, looking totally awake. Jack envied his ability to look so alert when he must have been so tired.
Sam was still awake, looking out through her window. Jack wanted to talk to her, but he didn't dare. He knew that what he'd end up saying would ruin everything. Instead, he reached over and put a hand on hers, knowing that no one would see it in the darkness. Sam looked up at him and gave him another brave smile, squeezing his hand in response. Then she went back to looking out the window, still holding Jack's hand.
