"Is Jack okay?" Daniel asked as Sam stepped out of the elevator. He'd
obviously been waiting for her.
"He will be, he's going to stay outside for a while." Sam replied.
"You sure?"
"Yes. We've gotten so used to seeing the atrocities the Goa'uld create, that we can shut it off. Remembering that someone on Earth was capable of something like that caught him hard. He just needs some space to work through it."
"Tell him we're here if he needs us."
"He knows. By the way do you know who sent the airman to get me?" Sam asked.
"General Hammond." Daniel replied.
"Please tell me that I didn't tell an airman that General Hammond could wait." Sam cringed.
"Sorry. But I explained, he said to go down when you got back."
"This is going to be fun." Sam sighed. "Wish me luck."
"Good luck."

Sam tapped on General Hammond's office door.
"Come in Major."
"You wanted to see me sir?"
"Take a seat."
"Sir, I should apologise for..." Sam said as she sat down.
"Forget about it. Dr Jackson explained. How's Jack doing?"
"He's going to stay on the surface for a while. He needs to work through some things. His humanity hit him hard sir."
"He did a good job today."
"Yes sir."
"I've spoken to the President and advised him of what information Jack acquired. He'd like you to go to the Pentagon and do a little investigating."
"Me sir? General with respect aren't there people better qualified to investigate than me? I mean the JAG corps or..."
"The President wants to keep this as under the counter as possible, Commander Hartman was supposed to be with us for a month, which means we have three weeks before any serious questions are asked about his whereabouts. You'll be going under the guise of explain some of the new technology. The President, Secretary of Defence, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Ryan are the only one who will know your true purpose."
"General..."
"Take Jack with you. The President would like to see him anyway." Hammond said continuing.
"Yes sir. When would you like us to leave?"
"There will be a transport out of Peterson at 0820 tomorrow morning, be on it. Major Davis will be going with you."
"Yes sir."
"You'll be able to leave anytime after 1500 to arrange anything that needs arranging. Major Davis will provide you with any other details you'll need during the flight."
"General, how long do I have?"
"We'll start with a week, if you need more time let me know. We'll being keeping Mr O'Brady here for the minimum of that time."
"Yes sir."
"Good you're dismissed."

Daniel was waiting for Sam in her lab when she got back.
"Is everything okay Sam?" Daniel asked.
"Jack and I are going to Washington. The President wants me to see what I can find out and the Pentagon has some of the best information in the world."
"So no missions for a couple of weeks."
"I'm sure the General will let you go out with another team. If you don't mind I have to clear all this up so we can be out of here by 1500 so we can pack. Our transport leaves first thing in the morning."
"Okay. Have a good trip and be careful."
"You be careful too."
"Me? When am I not?" He joked.
