Chapter 26

Daniel had fallen asleep next to his wife the night before. Andrea awoke to her hand lying against something fuzzy. Opening her eyes, Andrea begins to laugh at the sight of Daniel hunched over the bed with his head against the mattress. "Daniel, get up." Andrea pokes the back of his head softly, and then begins petting him.

That felt nice Daniel thought. He slept well, better than the night before. Opening his eyes, Daniel realized that he had fallen asleep the infirmary. Janet had told him not to do it. Turning his head, he sees the face of his wife. "Good morning, did you sleep well?"

Smiling, Andrea answers, "I did, very well in fact." Andrea remember the dream vividly, she also remembered that it shouldn't be shared yet. "Everything is clear now, you don't have to worry about I know what I was seeing now."

"That's great; you understand what you were getting in your visions too?" Daniel knew more than the others how important her visions were. When they were with the Tok'ra she spent most of her time with different members of the council working on putting new operatives in safer places than they were already in. "What were they about?"

"I will have to travel a great distance to protect someone. That's all I know now." Andrea wasn't sure how he would feel about her going to an alternate reality alone. But who could go with her? Kawalsky or Martouf, which would be highly suspicious? "Why don't you go get cleaned up and I'll see if Dr. Warner will spring me loose?"

"I will. I have to say you look much better now. It's almost as if you've recovered completely." Daniel says noticing her completion, demeanor and her eyes aren't red anymore.

"I feel great. Now shoo." Andrea says as Dr. Warner walks up.

"Ready to leave Dr. AJ?" Dr. Warner asks smiling at them.

"I'm so sorry Jonas. I know you want to go to Turkey bad, maybe the trip will get pushed back." Andrea says to Jonas who woke up, just as she was leaving.

"It's not your fault. I can hope it will right?" Jonas says trying to forget about the pain in his chest.

"I could heal your leg for you, but then they'd have cow for using unauthorized technology." Andrea says wishing she could help her friend.

"Have they made any progress?" Jonas knew someone tried to kill them now.

"I was about to go find out. Colonel O'Neill has summoned me to his office." Andrea looked at Jonas and smiled as much as possible.

"If I can help anymore, I want too." The crash was beginning to haunt him.

"We'll ask if we need anything else Jonas. Rest, I'm going to need you for something later anyway okay?" Andrea knows what it's like to see and be useless.

"I will." Jonas says to Andrea before she leaves. Jonas feels tired again, the medication making him sleep.

Jack and Daniel sit at a table with Teal'c eating breakfast when Andrea comes into the mess hall. Grabbing a tray Andrea goes thorough the line getting something to eat, so many choices that don't look as good as something she could make her self at home. Grabbing cereal and Banana she sits at the table and laughs as the pass a piece of paper around with notes on it about bugs. "Is that really necessary, I mean you can talk about the weather freely in here."

"What do you know about 'Weather'?" O'Neill asks looking at her.

"You've been talking to Alex. And if I'm right, he'll take care of the problem. Changing the forecast has always been his forte." Andrea says pealing her banana.

Teal'c looks at Andrea Jackson. What does weather have to do with bugs? "A man can change the weather with out technology?"

"She means her friend has a knack for weeding out false weather patterns." Daniel says before putting his spoon back in his mouth.

"I like him, he gets straight to business." O'Neill says looking at her.

"Yes, he does. Although he can turn a man around and make them so confused they are in a daze for weeks." Andrea laughs Alex was indeed a strange character.

"He'll be here on Friday. Senator Fletcher wished he could come but he has a debate with Kinsey." O'Neill spits Kinsey's name out.

"I know. I wrote his answers for him. Kinsey has no chance against him." Andrea had sent Randall six pages worth of things to say to make his position more clear than what Kinsey would say.

"How nice of you." Jack says. "I'd love to see the debate, but who knows what we will be doing.

"Knowing Alex, something really strange." Andrea says laughing.

"Great, so does he do at his station besides weather?" Jack has caught on to the game and asks the proper question.

"He looks into paranormal activity. Ghosts, goblins and creatures of the night seem to interest him the most." Andrea writes spook on the paper and shows it to Teal'c so he can understand.

"I thought he was strange when he picked you up all those years ago, he was at your desk poking around." Daniel says looking at her.

"Maybe he thought you were an alien." Andrea writes on the paper 'He was checking to see if I was bugged by someone'.

"Why would he think that Daniel was an alien, he's strange but not that strange." O'Neill says laughing.

"I never know what Alex thinks." Andrea says as Sam sits at the table.

"You look fantastic, what happened?" Sam can't believe some can look that great when they look awful the day before. "Daniel on the other hand looks horrible."

"I do not look horrible." Daniel denies that he looks tired.

"Daniel you look like death warmed over." Jack says he didn't think about it before but Daniel did get off the appearance of not sleeping well.

"He slept hunched over the bed last night." Andrea says looking at Sam shake her head at the notes.

"I thought Janet told you not to do that." Sam remembers Janet tell him to get some real rest.

"She did, I feel sleep before I went to bed." Daniel answers before taking a sip of coffee.

"And now you are paying for it." Andrea comments.

"So we figured out what you were seeing in your visions." Sam says before taking a bite of her breakfast.

"Really, you've seen the pages I gave Dr. Fraiser?" Andrea asks looking at Sam with interest.

"We believe your seeing an alternate reality." Sam says looking around the table.

"Is that possible, I thought her vision would on pertain to the reality we are in." Daniel says.

"Yes, but theoretically anything she sees can change do to her actions, therefore where she does exist can be an alternate reality where she does not." Sam says.

"Whoa, I don't understand." O'Neill gets confused with this alternate reality stuff.

"It's like snow flakes, for everyone there is one just like it with little or big changes. Soon or later I'll have to seek out this universe to change what I see." Andrea knows what is ahead in her future and that of the team but doesn't want to change it by spilling her guts.

"You knew? Why ask for help?" Sam is a little confused why would she ask for help she know what she was dreaming.

Andrea looks at Sam, and informs her. "I didn't know until last night, for some reason things became abundantly clear, along with my 'instant recovery' as Dr. Warner called it."

"How would you get to this reality?" Daniel asks, the quantum mirror had been destroyed.

"I don't know, not everything has been seen yet. This one of those visions where a get chunks at different times." Andrea was starting to really hate lying to her friends.

"Why do I get the feeling you're not telling the whole story." O'Neill has it when he only gets half facts.

"I don't want to change the good future, just the bad. I've already had to avoid consequences that would have happened do to my changing the future." Andrea was tired of the conversation. Standing up she says, "I need to go do some things that should have been done two days ago. Jonas and I made a dozen hologram star charts for some of the people that came in from Area 51. There should be some extras in your lab Major."

"You made them already?" Sam looks surprised.

"Yes, I had help. I'll show anyone who wants how to use it when I'm done with everything else." Andrea quickly leaves before they can stop her.

Major Samantha Carter sits in her lab holding the star chart device in her hand playing with it. It amazed her how simple it was to use, yet difficult to learn the different commands the device follows. "Dang it!" She shouts when it doesn't do what she wanted.

"Steady your hand!" Andrea says when she see says struggle with small device.

"I'm trying to go back." Sam says as the device change images again.

"Don't tip your hand or it won't work." Andrea says picking up another of the devices placing it in her hand she turns it on and flips though the different images.

"How does it work?"

"The movement of the muscles in your hand triggers the different options." Andrea begins moving the device in her hand to show that it doesn't work right that way.

"Finally." Sam exclaims when she gets it to work after dozens of tries. "I didn't realize it was that sensitive."

O'Neill enters the lab, with his hands his pockets. "Did she tell you what the retail value for one of those babies is?"

"Retail Value like for Jewelry?" Sam asks.

"Okay Colonel it's not funny I paid for the gems. He thinks my acquisition form is funny." Andrea didn't think ten thousand dollars worth of diamonds and rubies was funny.

O'Neill smiles. "Really, Kinsey says the gate costs money he should know how much the market value of those things."

"Okay I admit that around ten thousand dollars is a bit much, but how do you explain to American Society that they are wearing the best bet for advanced technology. I know my mother would flip her lid." Andrea says shutting off the device in her hand.

"Ten thousand dollars!" Sam thinks that's outrageous most of her equipment cost that much and it was a lot bigger then the tiny thing in her hand. "Does General Hammond know about this?"

"No, why would she do that?" Jack says when it came to shocking stuff she showed it to him first.

"Because she paid for these things and there are ten of them plus the one she original had that I left with Colonel Ronson who is still trying to get the thing to work."

"I have money the government doesn't. I don't care." Andrea thinks, The team needs them with all the places and things they do.

Kawalsky comes running in holding a manila folder in his hand. "Jack, you'll never believe this!" Kawalsky slowly tries to get his breath back.

"What the hell have you been doing?" Jack looks at Kawalsky huffing and puffing.

"Running around with two hot shot detectives. Who really know what they are doing. Look." Kawalsky lays the file open showing a picture of a man ordering at a take out window.

"Have you seen this guy before AJ?" Jack passes the picture to her.

Andrea looks at the picture really hard. "No."

"Take another look please."

"No it couldn't be." Andrea remembers seeing this man before. When she was in Washington so many years ago.

"Where did you see Him Andi?" Sam asks looking at the picture.

"I'm wrong I've never seen him before." Andrea does believe it's the same man she saw coming out of Kinsey's office when she was visiting Randall.

"Where?" O'Neill asks again.

"Pizza Hut!" Andrea says in a smart voice. Taking a pen off the table she writes the truth at the bottom of the page. Kinsey's office, Washington, D.C. 1992.

"Damn that man!" O'Neill grabs the picture and runs to General Hammond's office. "I thought Kinsey was bad but not murder." Jack whispers in a low tone.

Kawalsky knows O'Neill is mad and runs after him.

Friday afternoon SG-1 sits in a park with Major Davis, Alexander Fletcher, and Dr. Andrea Jackson. Alex Fletcher and Major Davis being friends have flown in to Colorado together to address what happened to Andrea and Jonas who is getting better slowly.

"As you all know Fletcher works for the state department. He and those of us at the pentagon have been investigating the NID for a while now." Major Davis was surprised by the fact that Alex had known Andrea Jackson.

"My father suspected that Kinsey had been involved in some other high profile murders. I didn't think it was him, but according to the facts the man in that picture is in fact Kinsey's hired man." Alex panicked when Andrea had been hurt. He couldn't protect her anymore. As long as she had friends around her she would be safe. When she disappear he and his father we're among those who pleaded for her to come home, not know that she was no longer on earth.

"I want both of them to pay for what happened to Jonas. He didn't deserve to be a pin cushion." Andrea hatred for Kinsey had grown since she saw the photo.

"Are you sure that Kinsey is behind the bugging of the SGC as well." General Hammond was just as angry as Colonel O'Neill when the facts of the past week had come to light.

"We're still investing Senator Kinsey. The main thing is to catch him in the act." Alex says.

Major Davis looks at Hammond. "The pentagon isn't happy about this either. Kinsey has abused his powers."

"I take it there is a congress committee looking into the abuse of powers?" Andrea asks.

"Yes, and they are enraged by everything. The fact is that several names are coming up in our investigation." Alex says looking at Paul who nods his head.

"The founding fathers must be rolling in there graves." O'Neill says.

"I'm quiet surprised they haven't dug their way up and attacked the offenders." Andrea says topping O'Neill comment.

"Are they in sarcophagi Andrea?" Teal'c says looking at her, working on a joke.

"I wish!" Daniel says a chance to speak with them wouldn't be bad with all the philosophical questions he could ask.

Fletcher turns to O'Neill. "The main thing is that Andrea is no longer safe off base. It is possible that they have someone on base too."

"Are you asking us to weed out these people?" General Hammond asks.

"No, I'd like to do that myself. If you don't mind Paul and I will be working with in the SGC to find these people." Alex says.

"With your permission General, we would set up Alex as your new Interior Security officer. He would work with everyone to secure the base. With his training he can be useful."

"I was a SEAL." Alex says.

"I thought I had seen you before. You were in Uniform a few years ago; I passed you in the hall in the Pentagon." Carter says, while O'Neill frowns.

Alex smiles, looking at Sam. "Family tradition, I've been called to duty now and again."

"What else do you plan to do?" Daniel asks.

Davis looks at Daniel. "I've been stationed at the SGC as of Monday. I'm the in house contact to the pentagon."

"I got notice of that this morning, because of Major Davis being in the SGC I'll be getting more time off." General Hammond says.

"We're being watched O'Neill." Teal'c says referring to a sedan parked on the street.

"The gray sedan behind me." Alex says when Sam looks around.

"You knew?" O'Neill says looking at Alex.

"Yes, I have a trip to Washington, to make and I'll be back with some of the investigators to go over some things with me while I work at the SGC." Alex says, and then looks at Major Carter. "If you wouldn't I could use your help?"

"What can I do?" Sam says looking at Alex.

"Come with me, and help me tag that car." Alex says.

Andrea looks up with Alarm. "Sam, I wouldn't!"

"It's ok!" Carter says.

"Let me help you up." Alex says taking her hand helping her off the bench.

"Thanks; what do you want me to do?" Sam says as they walk away.

Andrea moves to get in Jack's way but he stands up to see what Carter and Fletcher are doing.

"What are you doing Andrea?" Daniel asks not that he minds her pressed up against him.

"Trying to protect something!" Andrea says watching the two approaches the sedan. "Oh, Sam no!" Andrea speaks but Sam can't hear her.

"What is he doing?" Daniel asks he's head turned with Andrea's watching.

"I can't watch!" Andrea buries her head against Daniel.

"That son of!" Jack says watching the two.

"Major I hope you won't mind if I call you Sam for the moment." Alex says as he and Carter walk side by side toward the gray sedan.

"No, what are we doing?" Sam asks.

"You'll see!" Alex says as they walk closer to the sedan.

"Okay." Sam says.

"I'm going to put my arm around your waist." Alex whispers in her ear.

"Okay, what are you going to do to the car?" Sam asks feeling awkward.

"Place a tracking device on it." Alex Says as the get closer. "Don't hit me please."

"Why would I hit you?" Sam asks him as the start to approach the back of the car.

"Because!" Alex grabs Samantha with both hands, and kisses her leaning against the back of the sedan. Dropping one hand down he places the bug where it won't be seen.

"Hey, get of my car you two!" The driver yells.

"Thanks for not hitting me." Alex lifts her off the car and heads to his own.

"I should have!" Sam calls before turning and running back to the others.

"Oh, my!" Daniel says watching Alex kiss Sam.

"You!" O'Neill says to Andrea.

Sam comes running up flushed. "You knew he was going to do that didn't you."

"Fletcher is going to catch hell for that one." Major Davis says.

Andrea mumbles something into Daniel shoulder and continues to hide.

"I hope that was necessary." the General says standing up.

Andrea mumbles again and Daniel says "She says it depends on your point of view. She's sorry too."

"Is something wrong Andrea Jackson?" Teal'c asks.

"Yes!" She says. "I'm going to get him!" Andrea says pointing to Alex knowing she can't blackmail Jack anymore.

"I have to go folks; I have a briefing to attend." The General leaves waving.

"I want to go and dig a hole in the back yard, and bury my self in it!" Andrea says avoiding Jacks stares.

"You and I are going to have a chat about this!" O'Neill says.

"Jack what are you talking about?" Daniel asks his friend.

"She's been ..." O'Neill almost says but then looks at Sam and changes his mind.

"You can't admit it can you?" Andrea says looking from him to Sam.

"What are the two of talking about, even I'm confused." Sam asks them.

"Is there something I should know?" Davis asks them.

"I'll says it if you want me too?" Andrea says looking guilty.

"No, I don't want to deal with that."

"Good, Major your welcome to stay in our home." Andrea says to Major Davis.

"She's right we have lots of room. Jonas is in the basement by himself now." Daniel says agreeing with her.

"Thanks for the offer. I may need it until I can find a place of my own." The Major says.

"Not a problem, I just ask that you clean all the fruit you bring into my home!" Andrea shivers.

"Why fruit?" Davis asks

"Jonas almost became black widow food!" Andrea shivers at the thought of spiders and spiders at all.

"When did this happen?" Daniel asks.

Andrea flushes. "Before accident, I beat the spider to death. Then I burnt dinner."

"You burnt dinner that is funny." Another thing Sam and Andi had in common was they could cook.

"Ready to go home?" Daniel asks his wife who looks tired.

"Yes, I want to get as far as possible from the Colonel. I don't want to be around if decides to talk." Andrea says smiling.

"Really, why is that?" Daniel says standing up then helping Andrea up.

"Fall-out!" Andrea says looking precariously at O'Neill.

O'Neill crosses his arms. "I'm not going to say anything; I'm just not going to let you bully me around anymore."

"I'm wondering if this is something I should know about?" Davis says getting ready to leave.

"No, I don't think so." Jack says.

"Okay then." Davis leaves.

"Teal'c are you coming or are you staying with Jack?" Daniel asks Andrea had some things for him to see.

"Indeed, a movie after dinner?" One thing about Teal'c was that he loved the movies Andrea had.

"Sure, if you can stand my lasagna." Andrea says walking to the car.

"Are you guys coming for Dinner too?" Daniel looks at Jack and Sam.

"Later, I need to talk to Carter about something." Jack says.

"I'll be there at six." Sam says to Daniel before he leaves.

"Okay, see you later." Daniel follows Teal'c and Andrea to the car.

"What is it?" Sam asks Jack.

"You let him do that why?" Jack asks Sam.

"I had no idea he was going to do that Colonel." Carter says studying the Colonel's face.

"Andrea did why didn't you listen to her?"

"I was being nice." Sam says the line of questioning is becoming a little personal.

"He was very unprofessional!" Jack says.

"He did ask me not to hit him." Sam says laughing.

"Carter it's not funny, he's going to be working with us."

"More like you." Sam says.

"Yes, but still."

"Jealous?" Sam asks him.

"It shows?"

"Yes."

"Oh, hell." Jack walks to his car.

"What is she holding over you?" Sam yells, Jack ignores her.
