Chapter 7
She pressed a button to change to the slide needed. "It's a warehouse where the NID has been hiding valuable research." Jesse said smoothly at the briefing. "Corporal Tanner assures me--- under uncertain terms that most of the research is weapon-based."
"Do they have anything working?" asked General Hammond.
"Well, officially they don't have enough money. Somehow, cash flow to the NID has been limited recently. It might be a response to the various rouge NID operations."
"Unofficially?" asked Jack.
Jesse inhaled deeply. "Well, sir." She said. " Unofficially, the NID is getting an estimated 10.5 million dollars from various unaccredited sources."
"Do we know who these sources are?" asked Sam.
"They weren't recorded. We're guessing that they must befit from this later on."
"Is anything actually working with all this money?" Jack asked.
"No, sir. Everything seems to be on paper at this point. Anything that's not isn't working for them."
"Is this good?"
"In some ways yes."
"In others."
"If I may speak off the record---" Hammond gave a nod. "In my opinion it would have been best if the NID had had some idea on what they were doing. The weapons could have helped us but that'd be risky and too sounds easy."
"Jesse, you understand that isn't smart, right?" Even though Jesse kept formal during the briefing Jack had chosen not too.
"Of course sir." Jesse threw him sly smile. "If it was that easy the Goa'uld would have been wiped out already."
"Besides the warehouse what other information did Corporal Tanner give you?"
'Too much.' Said Jesse in her head.
"Too loud." Jack said out loud.
A bit embarrassed Jesse continued answering the General's question. "No sir at the time of our meeting his resources had been limited and he couldn't give out all the information he wanted without rising suspicion."
"Very well, I'll report this. You're all dismissed." General Hammond said.
"Thank you, sir." Jesse said and started to collect her things before her father could catch up to her.
"Jesse." Said Jack and suddenly her parents surrounded her. "What's with the sir towards me?"
"Well, daddy." She said trying to make him feel better. " It was professional briefing and I wanted to keep it as such."
"You just want to get away from what happened in your office."
"Maybe."
"Jesse you were right." Sam said.
"What?" Jesse asked surprised.
"You are an adult. Wish you could have worded yourself differently but you're right we have no right to get mad at you for---that." Jack said.
"Um" Jesse said being regressed back to what she was in her office minus the handsome guy with his arms around her.
"We've accepted the fact that you're---" Jack said but couldn't finish.
"Active." Sam said uncomfortably.
"Thanks." Jesse said.
"Yeah but I'm going to have to have a talk with Jonas." Jack said and with that he left.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
"Jonas." Jack yelled into Jesse's office. "Had a feeling that you would be in here." Jack closed the door behind him. He was trapped and Jack had an evil smile on his face. Jonas was getting paler by the minute.
"Scared aren't you?" Jack asked. Jonas gulped.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
"Where is he?" Jesse asked her mom, who was unaffected by Jack's comment that he was going to talk to Jonas.
"Who?" Sam asked.
"Jonas---and dad." Jesse said slightly panicked.
"I'm sure Jonas won't get hurt---too bad."
"Grrrr."
"He'll be fine Jesse. I'm sure the colonel just wants to warn Jonas about things."
"Yeah." Jesse said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
"So, Jonas." Jack said wrapping his arm around the young man's shoulder (or rather his neck) a bit tightly. "How are you fine?"
Jonas looked up at his attacker and said, "Okay."
"You better be okay." Jack said tighten his hold on Jonas. Jonas choked a bit. "What's up with you and Jesse?" Jack asked.
"Well---."
"That's great!" Jack said. "My P-90 is really nice don't you think." Jack commented.
"Yes." Jonas said.
"You would you like to taste a bullet?"
"No."
"I think you know where I'm going with this right." Jonas nodded.
"Good!" Jack said. Jack removed his arm and backed him hard on the back then hit him in the stomach. Jack only heard a faint gaunt as he left the room and Jesse slid into it.
AN: I'll get to a bit of action soon. I believe that'll be next chapter. Reviews that you are giving are nice but I need reactions people. Anyway next chapter will be soon please review!
