"So what did we order?" Sam asked as she took a bottle of water out of the fridge.

"Chinese. Teal'c wanted egg fried rice." Daniel replied.

"So what else did you order?" She asked.

"Practically everything on the menu." Jack replied. "They couldn't come to a decision."

"Works for me." She sat down.

"So why did you need to call Simmons?" Jack asked.

"This works best as one of those 'don't ask don't tell' situations. Simmons wasn't there anyway so I talked to Davis and Siler, they'll fix the situation."

"Why does situation always sound like something bad is about to happen?" Jack questioned.

"Because you're paranoid." Daniel replied. "Did you find out who blew up your lab?"

"Yes." She took a sip of water.

"Who was it?" Jack asked.

"I'll deal with it on Monday. The SF's have the situation at hand. My lab is clean and General Hammond is dealing with the requisition forms and Colonel's that get out of the bed on the wrong side."

"What did Hudson do now?" Daniel asked.

"Try calling at 0430 in the morning." Jack replied.

"Ouch. What was he expecting you to do at that time of the morning?"

"'Fix' the situation. The only fixing I could do at that time was tidying up and scrubbing the ceiling."

"I don't know what is with him lately, he's snapping at everyone." Daniel replied.

"I too have witnessed Colonel Hudson become angry for apparent reason." Teal'c agreed.

"He's having a bad couple of weeks." Jack muttered.

"If you know something now would be a good time to share before I talk to Janet about referring him to Mackenzie." Sam said.

"He did something that didn't work out how he thought it would and he's not taking it well. He'll get over it."

"What did he do?" Daniel asked.

"You don't need to know."

"You know we'll find out the base gossip is legendary."

"I could Marianne she would know, I mean she and Hudson are pretty close." Sam said.

"Don't you'll only make the situation worse." Jack warned.

"Oh I see. That explains a lot."

"It does?" Daniel was confused.

"It does if you think about it. So who's up for a little poker while we're waiting for dinner to get here?"

"We didn't bring any money." Daniel said as his brain worked overtime.

"We'll play for chips."

"That would be most enjoyable Major Carter." Teal'c bowed his head.

"It's Sam but since we're never going to get anywhere with that. Poker it is."
