"Mayborne." Jack said when he reached the table at which he was sat.
"Long time no see Jack. I heard you were looking for me."
"Let's go upstairs."
"I usual expect at least a drink before?"
"Harry, I have two Navy JAG's over there, I'm sure they would love to arrest you."
"Let's go." Harry got up and tossed a few bills on the table to cover the cost of his drink.

When Jack opened the door he squealed the room to make sure there were no bugs.
"So how did you know where I was?" Jack asked.
"You tried to find me, it's not hard to find out you were on a flight to DC and then to find out where they were putting you up. So what's up Jack?"
"Ever heard of a Marcus O'Brady?"
"Kinsey's godson; disappeared off the face of the Earth after he beat his girlfriend to death." Mayborne replied. "What about him?"
"We found him; he's sedated in Cheyenne Mountain."
"How did he get into the SGC?" Mayborne asked lying down on the bed.
"Turns out he had some very high ranking friends, namely his godfather and the NID take out a Navy weapons expert so he could impersonate him for the last five years."
"If Kinsey was involved how did you find out about it, he's pretty good at covering things he doesn't want to anyone to know about?"
"O'Brady posing as Myles Hartman was bought in to help Sam develop the Naqquadah bomb."
"So he knows about the gate?"
"We took him with us, on a little off-world trip. That was our first mistake, then Daniel and I started getting suspicious, and I had a little chat with the Secretary of Defence at the wedding and..."
"I heard you and the Major got married, did I just get left off the invite list?"
"I figure having a man wanted for treason there, might just spoil the day."
"I'm crushed." Mayborne said picking up the room service. "What's good to eat here?"
"Get your own food, Harry."
"So what do you want from me?"
"You know people, NID people; I need you to help me find out who was involved so I can bring down the NID and Kinsey with one foul swoop."
"You don't do things by half do you Jack."
"Can you help or not?" Jack demanded.
"Who else knows you have O'Brady?"
"Limited number of people at the SGC, Jacob, Major Davis, Secretary of Defence, General Ryan, President, Chairman of the Joint chiefs. Commander Devon knows the vague details of what O'Brady did, but not specifics. So can you help or not?"
"This may take a while. But I may know a few people who have the kind of access needed to do what you're talking about; I may also be able to find out what happened to the real Hartman too."
"Get me what you can, e-mail it to Daniel at the base. He'll forward it to me." Jack scribbled Daniel's e-mail address on a piece of paper and handed it to him.
"Good idea, less chance of tracking it. I'll see what I can do."
"Thank you. Now I'd say it's time to get the hell out of Dodge before someone recognises you." Jack suggested.
"I'll see what I can find out by Friday. I'll e-mail you an update."
"Sooner the better. I have to brief the President on what we have by then."
"Right, I'm gone. Enjoy your dinner."
"Thanks Harry." Jack said sarcastically.

"Everything okay?" Sam asked as came back and joined them.
"Yeah."
"He going to be able to help?" She asked.
"He knows some people, who know some people. He'll e-mail Danny what he finds out."
"You know he hates it when you call him that."
"I know, just like the whole rock debate." Jack winked at her.
"Rock debate?" Kyle questioned.
"Daniel's an archaeologist and linguist, Jack likes to annoy him by referring to artefacts as rocks, despite the fact that he's his best friend." Sam explained.
"And Sam's surrogate little brother." Jack added.
"Daniel's an only child and an orphan; he needs someone to watch out for him." Sam countered.
"She likes to watch out for all of us, then yell at when we put ourselves in danger."
"Only when we're not at the base and I wouldn't yell if you didn't put yourself in danger."
"Don't worry I know the feeling." Mel said. Kyle looked at her. "Don't look at me like that Kyle; you know you love playing the hero."
"Let me point out that you were the last one who ended up in hospital after you got shot."
"I only got shot because the guy who was pointing the gun at me was startled when you came storming through the door and it went off, I was talking him down." Mel retorted.
"He was holding you hostage." Kyle pointed out.
"He was a little upset, he wouldn't have hurt me."
"You don't know that." Jack and Sam smiled at each other.
