"Someone get that damn generator working." Sam yelled.

"We're working on it." Siler replied.

"Work quicker the battery is going to run out on this laptop in ten minutes and I'm only half way through writing the anti-virus."

"Take a breath Sam." Sam spun round to see Jack stood behind her.

"What are you doing here sir? I thought the General called everyone and told them not to come in."

"He did but I thought I'd come and check up on you."

"With all due respect sir, I don't have time." She tried to type more but Jack put his hand on hers.

"Siler can you get that generator running in the next five minutes?"

"Yes sir." He replied.

"Good. Carter with me."

"Sir, I don't have time."

"I can make that an order." He threatened.

"Yes sir." Sam reluctantly followed he grabbed her hand and pulled her into the nearest storage closet. "It doesn't have lights."

"We don't need lights." He pulled her into a deep, mind numbing kiss.

"Jack, we shouldn't be doing this on the base."

"Why? There are no lights and no security cameras." Jack countered.

"Still."

"Still nothing." He pushed a lose hair behind her ear. "You need to relax. You don't need to do everything all at once. You'll fix it; I know you will just take your time."

"Thanks for the vote of confidence." Sam smiled in the dark.

"You can do anything you put your mind to. Just remember that and that I love you." He gave her another kiss.

"I love you too. But I really need to get back to work."

"One other thing while we're here in the dark." Jack said.

"And what's that?"

"Do you want pizza or Chinese for dinner?"

"Jack, I'm not going home tonight, I'll be here for at least the next two days."

"I know. That's why I'm bringing dinner back for everyone. The commissary can handle sandwiches for lunch, but I told them I'd cover dinner."

"The pizza. Lots and lots of pizza."

"Pizza it is." He gave her a final kiss. "Now get back to work."

"Yes sir." Sam opened the closet door and headed back to her lab. When Jack stepped one of the SF's glanced at him but didn't say anything.

"Hey."

"Sir." The SF replied.

"Do you have any preference on pizza?" He asked.

"Sir?"

"I'm bringing pizza back for dinner and I figured you'd still be here. So do you have a preference for what type?"

"Not me personally sir, but you may want to get a few vegetarian ones. Some of the guys don't eat meat."

"How the hell did they manage to get through basic training not eating meat?"

"I don't know sir."

"Do me a favour if Major Carter starts getting hot under the collar before I get back and starts yelling at everyone give me a call?"

"Yes sir. Er Colonel."

"Yes?" Jack said.

"You've got lipstick on your chin."

"Maybe you should forget you saw that."

"Yes sir."
