"Speak of the devil and he shall appear." Janet said as saw seven men enter the bar.

"Guess it's a draw." Sam said in regards the bet. Jack spotted them and they headed over. "What did I tell you?"

"Evening ladies." There were a round of sirs. "Discussing anything interesting?"

"The devil." Jenna supplied.

"When did Sokar become an issue again? I thought he was dead."

"Doesn't mean we can't send you all to Sokar in a hand basket." Sam muttered. "Sudden urge for a drink guys?" She asked. Major Windslow, Major Hillman and Captain Bobbit looked sheepish. "Teal'c?" Sam prompted knowing he would tell her the truth.

"O'Neill called the base to inquire if Daniel and myself would care to partake in a beverage at this establishment." He replied. Jack scowled at him.

"Oh really. Miss me already dear? I've only been gone two and half hours." Sam said crossing her arms.

"We just thought we would have a drink, we didn't know you were going to be here." Jack said as innocently as possible.

"Oh really, since this is where I told you we were going to be and I also gave the base this number in case they need me and couldn't reach me on my cell phone."

"Well..." He started.

"One more thing before I stop pretending that we didn't know you were going to do this and the fact that we had bet who'd get here first. What did you do with my Dad?"

"I had a little word with his friend who is helping keep him entertained with Simpson's episodes."

"You're not getting anywhere near my niece and nephew. And ditching your father in law is not a good idea."

"Sam." Zack prompted. "Are we staying or are we going to sit over there?" He asked.

"Grab a couple tables and chairs. I'll get the drinks in." She replied. "So straight Neutrons or Neutron Bombs?"

"Neutron bombs. I'll help." Marianne said as she brushed past Zack she smiled.

"What's with the N's I thought you drank SGCs at these events?" Jack said as he sat down.

"Tonight we decided to honour General Hammond sir." Claire replied.

"Are we getting an explanation on how?" Major Windslow asked.

"We had Hammond's for H." Jenna supplied.

"Patriotically we had American flags for A." Ally added.

"Mind Erasers for obvious reasons for M." Claire supplied.

"Mayan Floats in honour of Daniel for the other M." Janet added.

"Why are Mayan Floats in honour of Dr Jackson?" Major Hillman inquired.

"Apart from the whole Mayan thing they're made with coffee liqueur." Janet supplied.

"Then that is a most appropriate drink to honour Daniel Jackson." Teal'c said.

"What was O?" Captain Bobbit asked.

"As we've been expecting you all for the last thirty minutes. O was Other Half's."

"So now you're up to N. Just exactly how drunk are you all?" Jack asked.

"We're not drunk we may be slightly tipsy though. We all have strong constitutions."

"You have to where we work." Jenna added.

"Here we are." Sam said as she and Marianne walked over to the table with two trays.

"Six Neutron bombs." Marianne laid them on the table. "And an orange juice for Teal'c."

"And six pints of beer and six shot glasses of Cognac." Sam laid them in front of the men.

"You make a very good cocktail waitress." Jack teased.

"She's already had an offer if being the Air Force Major doesn't work out to be a bouncer here." Claire said taking a sip of her drink. Janet sent her a signal to kill the conversation.

"Care to explain Mrs O'Neill?" Jack asked.

"Some guy got a little too friendly, so after warning him off I escorted him outside. Now to stay guys you have to drop the shot glasses of Cognac into the beer and down it in one go."

"Why?" Someone asked.

"Because I said so."

"A very well though out response." Daniel stated.

"Guys I've learnt its best not to question her, drink up." Jack suggested.

"Good boy," The all dropped the shots in and drank up. "Gentlemen thank you for helping us complete our tribute to the General."

"Huh?" Major Hillman said.

"Beer with a shot dropped in is called a Depth charge. So that's D covered. Plus it makes its own kwoosh."

"Does him calling her Mrs O'Neill weird to anyone else?" Daniel asked the alcohol had obviously gone straight to his head. There were a few mutters of agreement.

"Doesn't sound weird to me, but then again every thing I own outside the Air Force is in the name O'Neill now, even my passport." Sam said. Just then her cell phone rang; she fished it out her bag. After checking the display she answered. "Carter.... Yes sir we're having fun. We just drank a toast in your honour.... Yes sir, he's here. Would you like to speak to him?.... Yes sir.... Yes sir." She covered the mouth piece. "It's for you Colonel." Jack reached out to take it. "No it's for Colonel Hudson."

"I told you you could call me Zack."

"I will when Teal'c starts calling me Sam." Sam gave him the phone.

"Who is it anyway?"

"General Hammond, something about Tom Bennett being in the infirmary."

"General..." Zack said into the phone. "Yes sir I'll advise her... Yes sir. I'll you on Monday." He hung up and past the phone back to Sam. "Mari, the missions is on hold for a couple of days Siler managed to drop his wrench on Tom's foot. He hasn't broken it but it's bruised. So we get tomorrow off." She nodded.

"Why does Siler need such a big wrench anyway?" Captain Bobbit asked.

"I don't know if you noticed the big piece of equipment in the centre of the mountain. It has some very big bolts involved." Sam explained as cryptically as possible.

"Besides some men need to overcompensate for the size of their own equipment." Jenna added. The women all cracked up.
