"Dinner's here." Jack strolled into Felger's lab where Sam was still camped
out trying to work out the kinks of her anti-virus.
"Good timing." Sam said as her stomach rumbled.
"Did you actually eat lunch?" He set the pizza box on the table. Everyone else had taken their pizza to the commissary leaving Jack and Sam alone.
"I picked at a sandwich." She admitted.
"You're not going get anything done if you faint from not eat because I know you didn't eat breakfast this morning."
"I'm fine, annoyed because my anti-virus isn't working yet but I'm used to not eating when I'm working."
"But I usually distract you into eating."
"You have your uses sir. So what type of pizza did you get?"
"Your favourite. I even bought you a diet soda."
"My hero. Where did everyone else disappear to?" She asked realising there was no one else there.
"The commissary. It's where I left the rest of the pizza. I told the SF's to go and join them because I'd keep an eye on you."
"You think I need watching?" She asked as she opened her soda.
"I like watching you." He said with a shrug.
"So I noticed." She said with a small smile. Jack looked at her. "Jack, a woman always knows when someone's watching her ass."
"How come you've never called me on it before?"
"Because it's nice to know someone appreciates me and thinks I'm desirable even in fatigues."
"I always want you." Jack whispered into her ear.
"I noticed that too." She smiled. "Can I have some of that pizza?"
"You know how to kill a moment don't you?" He handed her a slice of pizza.
"It's a talent, besides which you need a cold shower."
"Oh I can think of some more interesting things to do than take a cold shower."
"Not here you don't. General Hammond left me in charge of the base, and I am not going to break his trust just because you're a little randy."
"You can't blame a guy for trying." He said with a shrug. "Besides it would make up for you leaving lipstick on my chin earlier."
"That's what you get for dragging women into storage closets."
"I'll have to remind Doc of that fact." He teased.
"Why." Sam stood and put her hand on his chest and pushed him against the wall and gave him a heart stopping kiss. "That will have hold you. Now I'm going to eat my pizza."
"Are you trying to kill me?"
"Janet tells me your heart is just fine. Pizza?"
"Hand it over."

There was a knock on the door, Jack was sat on the desk and Sam was tapping away at the computer.
"Yes." Jack called. Siler stepped in.
"Colonel." Jack nodded to him.
"Did you need something?" Sam asked.
"Ma'am we were wondering if you still needed us here. We can't do much more until you've finished with the anti-virus."
"Sure. Tell everyone to be back by 0800 and the SF's to stay put until they're relieved."
"Yes ma'am. Goodnight. Sir."
"Night." Jack said. Siler left. "How much longer are you going to work since you let everyone leave?"
"Until I finish this. Like Siler said they can't do anything until I finish the anti-virus."
"Sam I'm not going to let you work all night." Jack stated adamantly.
"Jack, remember the conversation we had last night about me needing to work out where the line between our personal life and my professional life. This is one of those occasions. Finding the anti-virus is my job at the moment and if that means working all night to find a solution that's what I'm going to do. I can function for forty-eight hours without sleep, I do it all the time, then I crash for a few hours and I'm fine."
"It's not good for you."
"I'll survive. Are you going home too?" She asked.
"No, I'll stay here with you."
"You don't have to. You can go home and sleep in your nice comfortable bed."
"I don't sleep well when you're not there. I may as well stay here and keep you company and not sleep well in my quarters."
"As long as you don't interrupt you're welcome to stay." He smiled at her. "And quit smiling it's distracting, the sooner I crack this the sooner I can go to bed."
"Didn't know my smile was distracting."
"It usually isn't but I recognise the look behind the smile."
