Chapter 4 – Thanks to those who reviewed this fic, sorry for delay in posting I've been snowed under with work!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------

2 Weeks passed and despite Jack's best efforts, Jonas showed no hint of opening up to him about how he would betray the SGC. They had been out and Jonas seemed to be perfectly relaxed around Jack, they would joke about the military and women and appeared to be getting on great, Jonas drank a lot but didn't seemed to notice Jack reluctance to get as drunk.

Cornell O'Neill was in with Hammond when Jonas reported obviously on the request of Hammond,

"You asked to see me, Sir"

"I did indeed, can you tell me where you latest debrief notes are"

"Have you not yet received them, Sir" Hammond look round supprised it was Jack who had spoken.

"No, and I would like an explanation, as to where they are and what you know about it?"

Jonas, opened his mouth to respond but Jack beat him to it "Major Carter has them, Sir"

Horror flashed across Jonas's face but he stayed silent know Jack was in as much trouble as he was if he dubbed him in.

"And why would that be Cornell"

"Well she was working late and said she hadn't finished hers but would send them all straight up when she got in this morning as she was due in before we were and you were occupied all after noon, so we could not deliver them personally before going off shift, sorry Sir it was on my recommendation the captain left his as well I expected more from major Carter and we were in rush, Sir." Jack remain relaxed even under a glare from Hammond that would have most officers running to change there underwear.

"I do have a sectary for a reason, but as yours were not due till tonight I can overlook it but Captain next time ensure they get here, regardless of who the officer is, I will speak to Major Carter but for now your both dismissed and I suggest you go and locate the paper work in question"

In the corridor outside, Jack turned to Jonas "You are so gonner get it if she discovers you went along with a plan that blames her"

"Not nearly as much as she is, I don't know what gets into her some days she now not to be late with my paper work"

"You goner tell her so we don't get in it deep with Hammond" Jack said making out he was scared of Hammond, which he was if Hammond started investigating now it would be the worst timing, why hadn't Carter just done the work, she obviously usually did.

"Yer, right now and she better have a bloody good reason"

"She's your akles heal mate, you wanner watch that she have you under control sooner than you can blink"

"No way," Hanson face flashed in anger "I'm not soft in the head like some, Samantha will do what I tell her and she know it"

"Doesn't look that way mate" Hoping he got information with out Sam getting hurt from the gentle teasing in his voice but he new he was walking a fine line, as they headed for Sam's lab.

As they entered Sam looked up, "Hey guys, what's up"

"Major, where are our debrief notes," Jack asked remaining in the door way as Jonas approached Sam.

"What are you trying to piss me off now or are you just to stupid to know better" Jonas almost spat in Sam face, jack watched in horror as Sam looked panic stricken,

"I submitted them, I swear, Jonas"

"Well Hammond never received them, funny that if you submitted them," Jonas said as Sam stumbled off the back of her stool and was now up against the wall, with Jonas mere inches from her face.

"You better go and find them, remember Hammond thinks this is your fault and it better stay that way"

Sam practically ran across the room, turning to look at Jack "I sorry, sir I honestly don't know what happened"

"That's OK, honey Jack understands, but we will talk about this later" Jonas sneered at her and then she fled her lab, hoping to find answers and cursing the timing.

Sam resolved the matter quickly Hammond sectary the night before had simple not parsed them on to Hammond and they were still waiting unnoticed. Sam slightly cursed a simple mistake could cost a lot in this place.

Sam and Daniel were sitting in the commissary discussing the implication of the technology humans were exposed in ancient Egypt to their development, when Jack and Jonas entered laughing at some joke one of them had made.

"Looks like Jack getting into his role" Daniel muttered

"Yer" Was all Sam muttered in reply as the two approached the table.

"Mind if we join you kiddies" Jack laughed as he sat down

"No, sir, we were just discussing Egyptian influence" Sam began

"Well you got better company now" Jack almost snapped "And we got great news for you"

"Yer, Jacks coming over tonight to watch the game, so we need you to get some food and stuff you don't mind do you" Jonas drawled as he put a arm around Sam, Daniel couldn't help but think of it as a sign of ownership, but as he squeezed sams shoulder he also couldn't help notice the wave of pain that flashed through her eyes, none of the rest of her body moved as he noticed now he wondered how many of those looks he had missed in the past.

"Sure, what do you want"

"Nothing special, I'm sure you can come up with something, after all your so smart aren't you" Jonas comments sound fine out of context and with out the sarcastic drawl in his voice.

"I don't know Jonas, maybe we should just get Pizza, I've tasted Sam's cooking off world"

"That's an idea you know, Sammie just get us some more beer on your way home then" He said giving her shoulder another squeeze.

Daniel not wanting to leave before Sam but general Hammond had asked to see him and he couldn't be late without good reason "sorry guys I gotter get going got a meeting to get to"

"Sure, Daniel see you around" Jack said casually

"Bye, see you tomorrow" Sam was sorry to see him leave even though he new jack was only pretending to except Jonas's behaviour it seem to be making him bolder and that scared her.

Daniel entered Hammonds office and he was wherein the same experetion he normally wore when dealing with Maybourne or NID, but Daniel had heard nothing to indicate there involvement on base at the moment.

"Have a seat son" Hammond usurered Daniel in, "how are you doing?"

"Fine, just a little curious about what this is regarding"

"it is nothing official and this is all completely off record," Hammond looked nervous again, generals didn't tend to look nervous and it was really making Daniel nervous "How has Jack seemed to you lately," he paused "to be honest I am worried about this sudden friendship, it's not really his style"

"Um.." Ok Daniel decided he needed to get a grip 26 languages and Um was the best he could do, deciding it was probably safer in the long run to tell Hammond "Ah." Ok still not vocalising it well though he took a deep breath and plunged on "Have you seen Major Carter medical record recently"

"No amazing I don't nose through my officers medical record often and what has Major Carter got to do with this"

"Well" Definetly not me finest hour Daniel told himself "Well" he tried again "Hanson has been black mailing her, sir"

"what! but there married,"

"I don't think Hanson thinks of marriage like that, I don't know exactly but it has been going on a long time, this is strictly off record but I don't want to lie to you there is enough of that going on right now," his mind returned to the commissary wondering how Sam was getting on "But Jack trying to get the information out of Hanson, it the only way, you can't do or say anything right now, please, sir, it is under control" he said a silent prayer that was true

"Ok, but if you need back up my door is always open, I much rather this was official but I know SG1 work as a team" Hammond let Daniel leave trying to decide if this situation was better or worse than the one he had been expecting.
