Chapter 3
Jack and Jonas, talked easily enough for a while as Jonas steadily drank more and more while Jack was driving so only joined him for couple he didn't even seem to notice, Sam had been write if he could fall the NID, this arrogant idiot should be too much trouble.
The conversation only turned to there home lives a couple of time and Jack didn't push it know he would blow his cover if he rushed. But as the conversation turned to how much Jonas wanted kids, Jack almost gave himself away, firstly horrified that anyone like Jonas would be aloud to be a father but as Jonas rambled on in his now very drunken slant, he released that Sam wouldn't be willingly jumping in to bed with her abuser, he prayed it did mean what he thought it meant.
The rest of the night passed uneventfully but it was late when Jack dropped a now very drunk Jonas home.
Sam had worried all night; she had tidied the house and done all the thing Jonas expected his good wife to take care of. She new she would have done something wrong she always had, she had long ago forgotten about trying to get it write only trying to give him no obvious cause for complaint, she thought back over the years he'd been so charming at first, it had been easy, she had never been serious, sure she cared for him, still did in a weird perverse way but when things had gotten so out of hand she really couldn't remember she just slowly lost control.
She was asleep when he finally came crashing in to bed beside her, a grunt and snoring the only noise he managed tonight. Sam woke early grabbed her bag and left for work, she new he would sleep till at least 12 he was back at work tomorrow but she was going off world today on a routine mission and would not be back until late so would not see him till he was at work again. Evan if she nothing changed she was grateful for the night off Jack had given her.
For once the mission the following day was as routine as they had expected, the ruins the UVA had spotted were just that ruins that had been abandoned many years ago Daniel recorded what little of the text that had survived then they broke for lunch. Carter had been on edge, this was usually when she could forget about Jonas and her other life but she was worried the Cornel had not yet mentioned last night so she sat down and they began eating in silence alert but as relaxed as you could be on an alien world.
"You know Carter if anyone says bigotry is dead, introduce them to Hanson"
"How did it go, sir, he passed out when he got in so I don't know"
"I'm not surprised he drinks like a fish," O'Neill was trying to keep the conversation normal but was struggling "He drank and ranted, but I think you right his ego was happy with my rank"
"So, are you friends for life" Daniel asked
"Probably if I don't mind listening to how he would fuck up the world for hours, were going to watch the game on Thursday, if we both get off in time, I'm sorry Major but we agreed you could do all our paper work"
"Sure, Sir, you take him out enough, I'll do your paper work for life"
"Do you often do his work, Major Carter" Tlea'c asked sounding genuinely concerned
"Not as often as he would like, Tlea'c"
"If we were on Chulak the situation would be simple and as a warrior you could simply kill him for what he does." Tlea'c stated matter of factly.
"Well maybe we could go to Chulak on holiday I here it is nice the time of year," Sam joked her team always put her at ease even when discussing such as serious topic.
"Ok, we better head back I want to get home tonight."
"I don't" Sam muttered under breath, low enough for no one to here
"Let's move out kids"
As they approached the Stargate, Jack hung back with Sam, "We will get him, you know that don't you, but if you ever need to just run, I'll always be waiting"
"Thank you, sir, but I meant it, their is more at stack here than either my health or my happiness. Anyway running away with your CO is frowned upon as far as I remember" She smiled though Jack couldn't help noticing it didn't reach her eyes.
"Well I never was good at playing by the rules" Jack tried to maintain a light tone but as they stepped up to the Stargate Jack could help notice Sam small sigh as she passed back to her real life.
He had wanted to scream at her following those words 'there is more at stack than my health or happiness' was that true? They were soldiers they would give there lives for the secrets they new, was this any different? The question had been plaguing him for since Carter had first made her confession, he knew she had stared in to the barrel of staff weapon on more than one occasion without saying a word, they all had, each willing to die and let each other die to protect the secrets of earth but there had been a threat lives at stack, was keeping the governments secrets worth the same sacrifice.
It was late when they got back, it was weird it had been only early evening on the planet they had just left but when they returned it was night according to the clocks but there was not really any time under the mountain crews worked 24hrs a day and although the other levels only had a skeleton crew at night, the gate level always had full staff on.
Jack and Daniel headed home after a quick shower and a brief medical, Sam hit the showers after them and went for her medical hoping to see Janet who often worked late when teams were of world. She was in luck, "Hey Sam you just missed the guys," Janet voice called from the room where she was busy checking equipment, "how was the mission" She asked as she turned to Sam ushering her in to a cubical
"Great, nothing but trees, the Cornell loved it" Sam said smiling at her friend, Janet always put her at ease even at the worst of times.
"I just run the regular tests and check your back and then are you going to go to bed or going to play with something in your lab." Janet new better than to ask Sam if she was going home.
"You eaten yet, because I know my system out of wack, but was going to head down to the commissary"
"Sound great I've been busy most of the evening so I could use something and it not like I want to cook when I get home."
"Don't let me keep you from getting home, it's late already"
"I'm not on till 1400 tomorrow so I can sleep in if Cass lets me"
"How is Cassie, I don't get to see her nearly as much as I'd like"
"She misses you but hopefully times are changing" Janet said flashing her a smile.
"Yer, lets hope"
They had a great time in the commissary, which was empty when they go entered so they just micro waved some leftovers, Then both filled each other in on there current projects, Sam was looking it to the holographic projection device a team had brought back earlier and Janet was studying some new plant vaccine, all completely new stuff and the scientist in each of the love the thrill.
Janet headed home and Sam headed to her lab, to work for a couple of hours in the peace of the night, she had to be up in the morning but she was used to operating on only a few hours. When she had been trying to rescue the Cornell from endora she had barely slept for days until Janet threatened to sedate her, she couldn't help thinking it would have gone a lot more smoothly if she didn't have to return home every few days to allow Jonas to show her what a bad wife she was. Maybe the Cornel would return the favour and save her as well.
