"...I'm sure she doesn't hate you." Sam said, she was lying on the bed in
the hotel room that she and Jack had been assigned. "You've spent the last
four years around military officers and Jack you know what we're like." She
continued as Jack came through the door.
"Hi." He whispered.
"Hi." She mouthed back. "Daniel..."
"What does Danny want?" Jack asked.
"Hang on a minute, Jack just came in...." Sam put her hand over the mouth piece. "Daniel says hi."
"What does he want?"
"He thinks Lieutenant Young hates him because she yelled at him."
"New redhead, fiery temper?" Jack asked. Sam nodded. "Why did she yell at him?"
"She was getting ready to study and box SG-9 had found and she'd gone to get a piece of equipment from another lab. Daniel walked in and noticed the text on the outside and picked up and took it back to his lab to translate."
"Oops. Couldn't he just give her his patented absent minded professor routine?" Jack asked.
"No Daniel, he wasn't making fun of you." Sam said into the phone. "But you'd make a very cute absent minded professor." Sam looked up at Jack. "Yes he's scowling at me. Give me a minute. You know what I meant Jack. How did it go with the President?"
"Pretty good, but you need to get into your class A's."
"Why?" She asked.
"The President has requested our presence at a reception tonight. It's kind of an order."
"Daniel I have to go it seems I have to go to the White House.... If you're worried stay with Teal'c or if you're really worried go to Janet she has all those needles. I'll talk to you soon... me too." She hung up.
"So she yelled at him?" Jack asked as he sat down on the bed.
"Yes. So what kind of reception is it?"
"I don't know, he just wants us there in uniform to make polite conversation."
"What about Kinsey?" Sam asked.
"He's out of town. What did you manage to dig up today?"
"Not a lot. I had to run a few technological briefings. I really didn't get much time to search. So what time does this reception start?"
"2000." Jack replied.
"That gives us 90 minutes. Time for a nice long shower."
"Go ahead." He laid back on the bed and put his arm over his eyes.
"I may need someone to wash my back." Sam whispered.
"Oh really?" He peaked out from under his arm.
"Know anyone who could fill that position?"
"Maybe if there were fringe benefits."
"What kind of benefits are we talking about?" She asked as she leant over and kissed him.
"Well that would do for a start, what else do you have there Major?"
"Oh I'm sure I can think of something to entice you Colonel."
"I'm sure you can." He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her again. The phone rang. "Leave it." He said as Sam tried to pull away.
"The only people who have the number for this room are important." Sam countered. "I should get it."
"I hate my job." Jack muttered.
"No you don't." Sam whispered as she grabbed the phone. "O'Neill... Hi Janet..." Jack looked at her. "I know he told me.... Look Janet this isn't a good time, the President wants us to attend some function at the White House tonight and I have to get ready... I know. I'll call you tomorrow when I get a chance... Yeah bye." Sam hung up. "Where were we?"
"Taking the phone off the hook?" Jack suggested. Sam removed the receiver and placed it next to the phone. "Didn't you mention something about a shower?"
"Yes I seem to recall some mention of a shower."
"Then move your six Major."
"Yes sir."
