Daniel only huffed at this and Cam smiled. "Have you been writing lately? I haven't seen anything from you." Cam asks as she puts the artifact on the table and takes a glimpse at a picture she had taken earlier of other writing she had found at the dig and opened a book hoping to translate it.
"Not really, I've been pretty busy." Daniel finally looked up at Cam after he took his gaze way from the artifact and found Cam with her nose stuck in a book.
Cam nods at this and than looks over at Daniel, after a couple seconds she goes back to the book and flips through the pages.
"Some of this writing I can't find the right base language." Cam starts shaking her head and mummers under her breath.
"May I?" Daniel asks as he starts to grab on of the books from Cam's pile. She nods in return and smiles.
"I looked in there already." Daniel smiles, she knows that look he's getting, the look that all archeologists get when they feel like they're getting somewhere in their research.
"Daniel." Someone had come up to the table and was looking over at Daniel. The man's hair was graying and even though he was in a leather jacket and jeans he looked as if he had been in the military. He was watching Daniel as he looked at the writing on the picture Cam had set on the table and then looked them up in the book he had taken. Daniel didn't even look up at this man, but continued with his translation.
"Sit Jack, this looks interesting." Daniel said, and Jack just knew that Daniel had found more boring text. Jack sat but had a look on his face like he didn't want to wait too long; like he had better things to do than watch him translate some text. Jack looked across the table and smiled at Cam then looked at his watch.
"General Hammond's waiting for us." Jack said a little annoyed at the moment.
"Well he's just going to have to wait." Daniel's voice seemed a little annoyed if not mad. Jack sat back and waved at the waiter that was sitting down now that the crowd had dispersed.
"What did you find?" Jack asked not really looking at Daniel but more at the cup of coffee that was just set in front of him.
"Actually Cam found it, its really interesting." Jack smiled and looked at his watch again.
"Well than you should give it back to um... Cam and we should report to Hammond." The way Jack said that could have told anyone that he was in the military. He gave it away when he finally answered his ringing cell phone. "Yes sir, we might be there a little later than expected. Yes sir." Jack hangs up and looks over at Daniel with an accusing glare. "That was him, he said not to take too long." The nod from Daniel was more of an automatic than an actual answer. As this conversation between the two men went on Cam sat there on the other side of the table starring at a picture of a big gold box, her mind was racing as to why there was more than one language on the box and finally set down the picture of it and looked at Daniel.
"Maybe you should go Daniel, I'm sure I can figure it out." Cam says on a whim that maybe he would listen to her, and Jack looks down at the picture that Cam had been starring at and picks it up, nudging Daniel on the shoulder making him almost tear a page in the book he was flipping through.
"What?" This time sounding really annoyed. Jack held up the picture for him too see, Daniel just starred at it and took it from him.
"I'm going to go get Sam. I'll be right... back." Jack says slowly, almost not getting up but finally does. Daniel nods and Cam starts to look worried. Jack walks out the bar door and past the huge windows that the booth was attached to. Daniel sat down the picture and just looked at Cam.
"What is wrong?" Cam's voice had risen a little and it sounded a little frightened.
"Where did you find this?" Daniel's voice is a little excited and very happy.
"Egypt."
"You'll show us it where?"
"No."
"No?!" Daniel's voice sounded a little mad, like he thought she might be hiding it from them.
"Well it's hard to, I found it a while ago."
"Go on."
"It was at a dig I was invited to, I'd have to talk to the guides as to exactly where is was. But it's gone now, it caved in before we could bring that out." Cam points at the picture that Daniel had set on the table. "We were just happy we got such great pictures of it before it was buried again." Daniel and Cam sat there in silence, she started to look in another book that she had, looking a little nervous when Jack finally came back with a blonde in tow.
"What is it sir?" Cam looks up just in time to see Jack almost jump back on the seat next to Daniel. Cam picks up her bag and throws it on the other side of her, giving the new woman a place to sit.
"Go ahead, sit." Jack says and the blonde does just that. She was definitely military; she had on a uniform, an Air Force dress uniform, her nameplate said her name was Carter.
"Ah. Cam, this is Major Sam Carter, and Colonel Jack O'Neill." Daniel finally introduced his friends and Cam nodded.
"Carter look at this." Jack's eyes were glowing like he had just found a treasure chest full of gold. He handed Sam the picture of the gold box and she started shaking her head in disbelief.
"Not really, I've been pretty busy." Daniel finally looked up at Cam after he took his gaze way from the artifact and found Cam with her nose stuck in a book.
Cam nods at this and than looks over at Daniel, after a couple seconds she goes back to the book and flips through the pages.
