Chapter 7

Kawalsky whistles at Sam and Andi walking toward them. "Don't you two look stunning?"

Sam laughs. "Thanks Major."

Jack walking with him also comments. "Ah, someone not in a uniform it's a nice change."

Andrea looks at Kawalsky surprised. "I thought you liked me covered in mud?"

"Nah, you look better in a skirt." Kawalsky grins at Andrea.

"Mud?" Carter and O'Neill ask.

"Long story" Andrea laughs. "Someday I'll tell you about it."

"So where are two lovely ladies headed?" Jack asks.

"Should we tell him Sam?" Andi asks looking at Sam.

"I don't see why not?" Sam and Andi are headed for a girl's night out.

"Let's see to we're going to get a new driver's license, a car, and dinner." Andrea looks at Kawalsky and grins.

"A car?" O'Neill asks standing next to Kawalsky.

"Yes Colonel a vehicle with four wheels, and a large gasoline engine..." Sam says before getting cut off.

O'Neill cuts her off. "Carter, I know what a car is!" Jack says raising his voice looking disgusted. Jack looks at Kawalsky. "So Kawalsky you want to meet them for dinner?"

"Sure Jack, I can tell you about the mud slide." Kawalsky smiles, his eyes glimmering.

Andrea looks at Kawalsky still feeling a little uncomfortable around O'Neill but not all the time. "Then we should invite everyone."

"We'll tell Teal'c, Daniel and Jonas." Jack says looking at Sam.

"Jonas and Daniel are in the lab. We can ask on our way out." Andrea says watching Kawalsky continue to look her up and down.

"Okay is six good." Jack says wonder what time they would meet since they would go to the usual place.

"Try seven, Colonel." Sam says noticing the elevator is about to arrive.

"Why?" Kawalsky ask what is going to take so long to find a car.

Andi and Sam look at each other and laugh. "Andi is looking for a very special kind of car."

"Sounds interesting I can't wait to see it." Jack says grinning, knowing Sam they would probably look at fast cars.

"I can't wait to drive it." Kawalsky says knowing that Andi loves to drive fast. Andrea shakes her head.

Sam steps into the elevator. "Okay, Andi let's go find you a car."


Sam and Andi sit at a table in the back of a restaurant. Seeing Jack and Daniel into the restaurant walk Sam waves. "Over here."

"I think he's blind." Andrea says noticing that Jack doesn't seem to see them in the back corner of the room.

"The Colonel or Daniel?" Sam asks turning her head, and still waving.

"The Colonel." Andi laughs.

Daniel sees them and points. Kawalsky, Teal'c and Jonas walk in behind them and follow them to the table. "So did you find a car?" Daniel asks sitting down at the table.

"Yes." Andrea says smiling at Daniel.

"What type of vehicle did you purchase Andrea?" Teal'c asks sitting down at the table

"Well Teal'c, it's a Dodge stealth 1996." Andrea grins proudly.

"You got an old car?" Jack gives her a disgusted look.

Andrea grins. "Yes Colonel, it has a v6 engine and it is like new the only thing original is the frame."

Sam looks at the Colonel and smiles slyly. "Very fast, it has a cool air injector."

Kawalsky stares at Andrea for a moment. "That hot little red number outside is yours?"

"Yes." Andi looks at Jack. "What is it Colonel?"

"You two are so much alike, I'm disgusted?" Jack says giving Andrea and Sam a slightly sneering look.

Sam laughs. "Why do you think that?"

Jonas laughs. "They are no more alike than Daniel and I."

"Speed. Science. Hell even Jacob and Martouf." Jack says with distain.

Andi flicks a peanut at Jack, misses him and hits Teal'c in the nose. "Sorry." Andrea giggles. Teal'c frowns.

"We are not that alike Sir." Sam says eating some nuts.

"Colonel, we just like the same things." Andrea says watching Daniel intently who starts a conversation with Jonas.

"Andi are you gonna take me for a spin?" Kawalsky asks before taking a sip of his beer.

"No!" Andrea says grabbing her beer.

"Hell." Kawalsky says after swallowing his sip of beer.

"I'm kidding." Andrea says grinning and then gulping her beer.

"Jack, what kind of torture are you and Kawalsky inflicting on Teal'c?" Daniel asks from his seat.

"Hockey, Daniel, hockey not torture." Jack says in a correcting tone.

"Jonas, you want to play?" Kawalsky asks.

"Sure, but only if I'm your team." Jonas says looking at Charlie.

"Are you suggesting O'Neill is not a good teammate?" Teal'c asks.

"No, Teal'c, I'm suggesting that Kawalsky is better." Jonas smiles.

"Sounds like fun." Sam says.

"Lots of fun. What are you and Andi doing?" The colonel asks turning in his seat.

"Sam and I are going shopping. Also Daniel you're welcome to come with me to see my uncle on Sunday." Andrea says grabbing some nuts.

"Shopping?" O'Neill makes a face.

"I need things and so does Daniel." Andrea says popping nuts into her mouth.

"What about me?" Kawalsky asks.

"Give me a list." Andrea says in a relaxed tone.

"Great we'll be at the mall all day." Sam says kind of disappointed.

"No, just most of the day." Andrea says looking at Sam.

"I can get them for you Kawalsky." Daniel says looking at Kawalsky.

"Thanks Danny." Kawalsky turns to Jack.

"So you're meeting with the Congressman on Sunday?" Daniel says looking at Andi concerned.

"Yeah, he promised my father he would check on me." Andrea says trying to avoid family explanations.

"It sounds as if your father cares for you Andrea." Teal'c says notice Andrea's discomfort.

"No Teal'c it's just his ego." Andrea says correcting Teal'c.

"I'll go with you Andrea." Daniel says.

"I hate politicians." Jack says putting in his two cents.

Andrea laughs. "Who got on your bad side?"

"Kinsey." Daniel and Sam say with emphasis.

Andrea spits her drink all over Kawalsky. "Hey, I had a shower this morning!" Kawalsky whips his face "Who is this Kinsey anyway?"

"The bane of my existence." Jack grits his teeth.

"More like America's worst nightmare." Andrea says looking intrigued.

"You know Senator Kinsey?" Teal'c asks.

"Yes, the man is a power hungry animal." Andrea says with distain.

"What did he do to you?" Jack asks interested in what happened to Andi.

"He told me my work was not important and cut my funding." Andrea replies with a bit of left over anger.

"He's running for President." Sam says watching Andrea

"I know, but I'm not worried about that right now." Andrea says confidently.

"Why not?" Jack asks wondering what she is worried about.

"Not on the list of priorities yet." Andrea looks at the waitress coming towards the table.

"Do you think I could have copy?" Jack says in a sarcastic tone.

"I don't know, Sam do you think he needs one?" Andrea says laughing.

"Probably." Sam laughs and looks at the waitress ready to order.
