"Now that's funny." Sam smiled as she checked over the gate read outs; Sgt
Davis had told her a joke. "You've done a pretty good job of keeping these
systems going without me."
"We do our best ma'am." Davis smiled.
"Just don't do too good a job or they won't want to keep me around." Sam joked.
"I don't know about that ma'am. I think Colonel O'Neill would have something to say about that."
"Your right I would." Jack said as he came down the stairs.
"Colonel." Davis said. "Welcome back, did you have a nice trip to Washington sir?"
"Yeah, but Washington makes saving the world seem easy."
"Yes sir." Davis smiled.
"Well it's good to have you back sir."
"Thank you. So did we miss any big action while we were away?"
"It's been pretty quiet sir until this morning. But you know about that."
"Good, wouldn't want to miss anything." Jack smiled.
"Glad to be back in the field sir?" Davis asked.
"Actually we're staying on base for the next couple of weeks. The Major here is going to go play war games with all the military special ops units."
"I see General Hammond told you about that sir." Sam said.
"My question is when he told you."
"When we got back, that's why he called me into my office." Sam replied. "I'm done here. Do you want to go and get some coffee sir?"
"Actually we're going home; we still have the weekend off at order of the Secretary of Defence."
"Can't argue with the Secretary sir, I just need to drop in and see Janet and change then I'll be ready to go."
"Okay."
"We need to stop by the store on the way home." Sam said.
"Why?"
"Well we don't have any food in the house except a couple of cans and some frozen steak. I threw everything out that had a sell-by date until the end of the month because I didn't know how long we'd be gone."
"To the store we go." Jack smiled.
Jack pushed the cart around the store while Sam picked up various packets and after reading the back she tossed them in.
"You want cookie dough?" Sam asked. Jack looked at her. "Right." She smiled and tossed it in.
"How about spaghetti and meatballs for dinner?" Jack asked.
"Works for me. You making dinner then?" She questioned.
"I thought we could make it together."
"Sounds like a plan." Sam said.
"So..." Jack said.
"So what?" Sam prompted.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"About what?"
"Your new mission."
"What about it? I get to take a team and hide out in the woods from the best Special Forces operatives this country has. I'm pretty much expecting to get captured; it's just how long we can evade capture that's the point of the exercise."
"Special ops isn't that complicated if you know what to look for."
"So you're going to help me?"
"Hammond said I could help if you asked."
"So Colonel, want to help me pick a team and outwit the best Special Forces operatives?" Sam said.
"I thought you'd never asked."
"Just tell me one thing first."
"What?" Jack questioned.
"Tell me you think I can do this."
"Sam, you can do anything you set your mind to. You have more than enough experience to do this. You just need a few lessons in how to hide from earth operatives."
"Thank you." Sam gave him a kiss.
"Now can we get some cake?" Sam nodded.
