"What's happening sir?" Jack asked as he and Sam entered the briefing room.
"I just had an interesting phone call from the President. There is something you would probably like to see is about to be on the news." Hammond replied.
"Sir?" Sam questioned.
"Major, patch through CNN." Hammond instructed. "On to the screen."
"Yes sir." Sam went to the computer and pulled up the image.
"General what's going on?" Daniel asked as he came in with Teal'c.
"The President wants us to watch the news." Jack replied.
"Odd request." Daniel remarked.
"Indeed." Teal'c agreed.
"Turn up the volume Major." Hammond suggested.
'Breaking News.' The news anchor announced. 'Senator Robert Kinsey, who recently announced his plans to run for President, was arrested by a joint task force. The reason for the Senator's arrest has not been disclosed at this time.' The video showed the Senator being frog marched from the Capitol building in handcuffs. 'We are hoping to get more information for you short. To say again Senator Robert Kinsey has been arrested.'
"Now that makes today worth while." Jack smiled. "Do you think we can get a copy of that and loop it around the base?"
"The words just and desserts spring to mind." Daniel said.
"I'd say that was a job well done." Sam agreed with the sentiment.
"Does that mean our sleeping bad guy gets his comeuppance?" Jack asked.
"It's being arranged for him to be woken up and transferred to a high security facility and solitary confinement now that the Senator is taken care of." Hammond replied. "But that won't be for a few days."
"Can I make the announcement?" Jack asked eagerly.
"You really didn't like him did you Jack?" Hammond said.
"Sir, we hadn't totally disregarded orders we'd either be dead or Jaffa. No offence Teal'c, but I'd rather keep the snakes as far away from me as possible, if it's all the same to you."
"So would I." Daniel agreed.
"Major Ferretti would probably like to see this. The betting pool probably has to pay out." Sam suggested.
"How is he?" Hammond asked.
"Dr Fraiser says he'll be okay, up and around in a few days." Sam replied.
"What happened to Ferretti?" Daniel asked. "Did he get a concussion from where Hannah kicked him?"
"No. He had an allergic reaction after eating some liquorice by accident." Sam explained. "Luckily Hannah was there and she got him to the infirmary quickly."
"Why did he eat liquorice he knows he was allergic?" Daniel questioned.
"He didn't realise there was any in the sweets he was eating." Sam replied.
"So General?" Jack asked.
"Go ahead make the announcement Colonel. I'll be in my office."
"It seems our trip to Washington was productive." Jack said jovially. "Oh by the way boys we're going on a mission tomorrow at 1300 sharp. Don't forget to pack." He kissed Sam on the cheek and headed for the control room to make the announcement.
"Someone's a good mood." Daniel remarked.
"Indeed. It appears O'Neill is most joyous." Teal'c agreed.
"He would have been happier if he could have shot him, but..." Sam grinned.
"Shooting US Senators is illegal." Daniel finished for her. Sam shrugged.
"So do we want to watch the kid in the candy store?" Sam asked, she and Daniel ran to the stairs to watch. Teal'c followed at more sedate pace.
"This is Colonel O'Neill; please listen to the following announcement for your enjoyment. A few minutes ago our favourite member of government, Senator Robert Kinsey was arrested live on CNN. The Senator is going to be charged with a good number of offences, and is finally going to get his comeuppance for being a weasily, two-faced ..."
"Jack." Sam stopped him before he said anything too bad.
"Fine. I repeat again for your enjoyment. Senator Kinsey has been arrested. Thank you for your attention." Jack vacated his seat. "I think some cake to celebrate is in order."
"With you cake is always in order Jack." Daniel teased.
"But in this case I think it's warranted." Sam continued.
