Chapter Nine
The next day at work Amanda and Jonas decided to converse in Amanda's office about how the plan seemed to be working at the moment. Sam had accepted the gift not knowing whom it was from but Jack on the other hand had been a bit apprehensive about taking in the sweets from a mysterious person. They decided that Amanda would talk to Sam and Jonas to Jack to see what their responses were, so they went their separate ways.
Amanda knocked on Sam's office door and waited for a response, which came pretty much straight away. She entered expecting to just see Sam hard at work but what she got was a rather red faced Colonel O'Neill sitting opposite her looking slightly out of breath.
"Errr… Sorry I was just wondering if you had a minute to talk but you look busy already" Amanda said quickly backing out of the room and walked back to her office in a kind of daze. Jonas noticed her on his search for O'Neill and went up to her.
"Amanda, have you any idea where O'Neill is because I can't find him anywhere" Jonas said not noticing the look of shock on her face. "Amanda" Jonas said in a slightly panicked voice when he finally looked at her face.
Gently touching her shoulder to bring her out of her daze Jonas once again spoke her name in a soft voice. Jonas succeeded in bringing her out of her daze then asked in a concerned voice, "Amanda what's the matter?"
Looking at Jonas she smiled then started waking back on her short journey to her office this time closely followed by Jonas.
Once reaching her office she entered but waited for Jonas to enter then closed and locked the door behind her then turned to face him. "I think our revenge plan may have worked a little too well," Amanda stated finally giving Jonas an inkling of what was happening.
"In what way do you feel that the revenge plan has worked better then we expected" Jonas asked not catching on to what Amanda was hinting at.
"Well I went to Sam's office like we discussed, but when I got there I knocked and waited for Sam to tell me to come in… When I entered the office I saw Sam sat in her usual spot and Colonel O'Neill red face and slightly out of breath on the other side of the desk" Amanda said filling Jonas in on all that she saw.
"Well that doesn't mean anything" Jonas said innocently.
"Yes it does, I've walked in on enough people in let say compromising situations to know when it is a compromising situation and when to get the hell out of there and that was definitely a get the hell out of there time," Amanda stated matter of factly.
"Oh, well then I don't think we need to continue with the revenge" was all that Jonas could bring himself to say, as he was shocked but happy with the news of Jack and Sam being involved.
Watching all this from a plain of existence out of sight, Dr Daniel Jackson the recently ascended SG-1 member and close friend to Sam, Jack and Teal'c had a smile on his face knowing that it was about time that Sam and Jack found some happiness. Now that Amanda and Jonas had decided that their plan had worked too well so they better not continue with it, Daniel decided that he would take there revenge plan and turn it in to his own to ensure that Sam and Jack stayed together now that they finally we're together where they belonged.
Daniel drifted off to arrange the next stage of his newly acquired plan with a smile on his face leaving Jonas and Amada still unaware that he was ever there.
Sam and Jack stared at the door after Amanda made her quick exit with worried looks on their faces. "Do you think she noticed anything?" Sam said turning a light shade of red.
"Well I'd have to say that's a yes, she noticed something" Jack said confirming her fears.
"Jack, we need to have a word with her, make sure that she doesn't tell anybody" Sam said getting up from her seat.
"I'll go, then if asking her not to tell anybody doesn't work I could always try ordering her" Jack said with a half laugh on the tip of his tongue. With that Jack left Sam's office in search for Amanda.
Jack made it to Amanda's office and noticed that there were hushed voices coming from the inside. Knocking once Jack entered to find Amanda and Jonas very closes together working on her computer. "Err… Amanda could I have a quick word with you" Jack said sounding slightly uncomfortable.
"Sure, Sir. What's the matter?" Amanda said smiling at Jack with Jonas looking on innocently.
"Err, Jonas could you please give us a few minutes" Jack asked looking evilly at Jonas.
"Sure Jack no problem" Jonas said, the smile on his face growing with Jack's discomfort. Jonas stood up and left the office leaving Jack to quickly return his attention to Amanda.
"Sir if this is about earlier I won't tell anybody" Amanda said knowing the reason why he was in her office.
"Well… That's good" Jack said relief clearly showing in his voice then continued "Err… Jonas knows as well doesn't he."
"Yes… but you don't have to worry, He won't tell anybody either" Amanda said a smile on her face.
"Good… good" Jack said then turning to leave "Ok then I'll let you get back to work then" with that he left the room to be greeted once again by the smiling face of Jonas. Seeing red because of Jonas's mocking smile Jack decided to bite back. "What are you smiling at, at least I know who I'm chatting up" Jack said then noticing that the smile didn't leave his face.
Then Jonas spoke, "That's the thing Jack, I do" the smile on Jonas's face grew if possible.
"Oh… you know about Amanda" Jack said slightly shocked.
"Yeah I know about Amanda been Capmunroe, and yes we're getting along just fine, even though she knew before I did and didn't tell me" Jonas said then walked back into Amanda's office and closed the door behind him.
Jack stood there in the hallway for a few minutes a look of complete, utter shock and puzzlement clearly taking over the look of worry that was there when he walked down the same corridor a few minutes earlier.
Jack slowly turned and walked back down the corridor towards Sam's office. Just as an airman walked past, Jack's look seemed to change from shock and puzzlement to one of realisation then half startling the airman said "Those conniving little pain in the asses, it was them."
The airman walked by not before giving Jack a puzzled look and Jack all but run down the corridor and into Sam's office making her jump slightly from her stool.
"Colonel, what the hell" Sam said trying to get her heart to beat normally again.
"It was them" Jack said receiving a puzzled look off Sam.
"What was them?" Sam asked trying to work out what Jack was talking about.
"The chocolates" were the only two word Jack had to say before Sam seemed to loose the entire colour from her face.
