"Here are your Pentagon clearance passes." Major Davis handed them to them
while they were in flight. "You've got higher clearance Major so you'll be
able to access the information you need. I'll be around to help you with
anything you need. I'll also give you a tour when we arrive."
"Major, I worked at the Pentagon for two years I'm sure I can still navigate my way around." Sam reminded him.
"I'm sure you can Major, but there are a few areas to which you won't have had access to before, which you will need for this trip."
"I'm sure you'll have fun exploring." Jack winked at her. "And all those computers they'll let you play with. They might even have a new doohickey."
"I think we have the best new doohickeys." Sam said.
"If not give you ten minutes and you'll make one."
"Back to the briefing." Davis said. "Colonel, you have a meeting with the President in the situation room of the White House tomorrow. You'll be there all day; he'll come down when he gets a chance. But he doesn't want to rouse any suspicions."
"The situation room? Sweet."
"Just don't touch anything." Sam warned. "I have enough problems coming up with solutions for when we have to save the world on a normal day to day basis, let along if you press something and set something."
"Nice to have to know you have so much faith in me."
"Helps not to know you." Sam smiled.
"Can we focus here?" Davis asked.
"I'm going to talk to the President, she's going to snoop around with the Pentagon's help. We know." Jack replied. "All the while, I'm going to try to fight the urge to walk over to the Capitol building and shoot Kinsey."
"Colonel, this has to be a covert op. No one can find out that we know what we know."
"Then maybe we shouldn't be talking on a plane in the middle of the sky. I recall hearing about a device that can tap into communications on a plane while it's in flight."
"It's hit and miss, but there was a blocker designed for military planes. If they'd listened to me it probably would have worked better." Sam said.
"You were involved in that?" Jack questioned.
"I've been involved in a lot of technology developments, that you wouldn't want to hear about, some that you can't and others you can read about in my personnel file which you should get around to reading at some point."
"You've never read her personnel file?" Davis questioned.
"Well I got as far reading the first couple of lines, then gave up. She could do her job what else did I need to know?" Jack shrugged.
"You should read the files of your subordinates Colonel."
"I read your file. You should be careful where you stand." Jack winked at him.
"It was a long dress and I was talking to an Admiral, I didn't realise she was stood behind me."
"Who?" Sam asked intrigued.
"The Vice President's wife." Jack supplied.
"You didn't?" Sam tried her hardest not to giggle.
"You can giggle." Jack gave her permission as she started to turn.
"Thank you." She broken down and laughed.
"She doesn't get out much." Jack offered as by way of explanation.
"What did she say?" Sam managed to choke out.
"Let's just say she was very forgiving and leave it at that."
"I'll let you read the report when we get back." Jack told her.
"It will definitely brighten up my day."
