Chapter Four

Sam was sat in her lab doing a few last minute jobs before it was time for her to head home for the night. There was the constant beeps of the machines around her but other than that her lab was quiet like it generally was at this time of night.

Just then the door to her lab opened and Jack entered. "Come on Carter we're going… it's movie night… I need someone to try and persuade Teal'c to watch something other than Star Wars."

"Sir, I really need to finish this off before tomorrow's mission" Sam said indicating what she was doing.

"Well you'll be even happier to know that the missions been cancelled… Danny's got a friend coming to visit so it's been changed to Monday next week… finish that tomorrow, it's team movie night so get a move on were leaving in ten… See you up top, we're taking Daniel's car."

"Why didn't anybody inform me about the change to the mission, sir" Sam was puzzled as she never usually was the last to find out of something like that.

"I just told you" Jack smiled his response and Sam knew there and then he'd done it on purpose so that she didn't go to Hammond and try and get it back on for tomorrow.

Sighing Sam shook her head, "Ok… I'll see you top side in ten minutes." With that Jack smiled back at her and walked out of the door.

About thirty minutes later they were arriving at Daniel's apartment having their usual argument with Teal'c over the choice of movie.

"Oh come on T just this one time let's watch another film and if you don't like it then I promise we won't even moan about watching Star Wars for at least the next 5 movie nights" Sam tried to reason with Teal'c but it didn't look hopeful.

"What film would you suggest MajorCarter?"

"How about we see what Daniel's got in his apartment before we choose a film" Sam thought that was going to be best, but at the same time she was worried as she didn't know what films Daniel has.

"Agreed."

"Thank you… Thank you… thank you Carter, and I'll even do anything for you if he actually picks one of Danny's films" Jack said looking relieved.

"Does that include trying to persuade Hammond to go on that mission tomorrow without Daniel" Sam smirked at him knowing that, that more than likely would never happen.

"What is it with you and that damn pl… mission?" Jack quickly corrected himself as they were in public.

"There looks to be some interesting energy reading… I wouldn't mind checking out… plus I have this feeling that there's something really important there that could help us sir" Sam was now receiving puzzled looks from her team mates at her comment.

"Feelings Carter… you're usually the one saying if there isn't scientific proof then it can't be proven and now your talking about feelings… you sure you're feeling ok?" Jack's slightly sarcastic voice broke the silence that dropped over the group.

They arrived at the door of Daniel's apartment and quickly made their way inside, Jack going straight to the video and DVD collection to try and find a film to watch. Sam on the other hand went straight to the phone and shouted back to the group, "Am I ordering the usual pizza's, I'm paying tonight."

When they all shouted back stating that yeah the usual order was fine she quickly placed the order and came into the front room and sat on the sofa, "So then what's the film choice tonight then."

"Well Teal'cs agreed to watch Indiana Jones but only because it's got Harrison Ford out of Star Wars in it…he says if it has him in it, it can't be disrespectful to aliens" Jack answered.

Sam looked shocked at Jack for a second, his curiosity got the better of him, "What's the matter Carter?… you were the one to persuade Teal'c to pick another film."

"Sorry… It's not that sir, its the fact that I can't believe Daniel would own a film like Indiana Jones" Sam said shaking herself out of her thoughts.

"And what's so surprising about me having Indiana Jones" Daniel asked pretending to be offended holding out a beer for her.

"Well… it's the whole archaeology thing… I'd have thought that you would be constantly finding faults with it."

"Well there are a few faults but I just concentrate on the story line rather then the facts" Daniel took a seat next to her on the sofa and watched as Jack put the DVD in the DVD player.

Just then there was a knock on the door and Sam got up and said "God the pizza's very quick tonight… I'll just go get them," then she left the living room heading for the door.

Opening the door Sam was surprised when it wasn't the pizza delivery boy but Adam Person standing there. "Adam?"

"Hi Sam" Adam smiled at the puzzled look on her face.

"What?… what are you doing here?"

"Well… I'm visiting my friend, is Daniel here" Adam found that it was hard trying not to laugh at the look of complete and utter shock on her face.

"You're telling me that you know Daniel?" Sam was now starting to get confused now that the shock at seeing Adam was wearing off.

Still smiling Adam said "Yeah… I've known his since college."

"Adam, I thought you were coming tomorrow?" Daniel said coming up from behind Sam.

"I thought I'd get an earlier flight… get here early, check into a local motel this afternoon and come by tonight so we can arrange things to do tomorrow… If you've got company I'll go" Adam turned away from Sam and looked at Daniel as he came to stand by Sam.

"No it's fine… You don't mind do you Sam, I know Jack and T won't," Daniel turned to Sam. When she shook her head Daniel thought on about Teal'c tattoo, "Sam could you just let T know that I remembered where I put his hat the last time he was round… it's in the top draw of the TV cabinet"

"Ok then, you go get Adam a drink then" Sam walked off into the front room to warn Teal'c to put a hat on.

Daniel looked back at Adam and then said "Don't mind her she's been shut up in her lab all day… That and she's a bit annoyed with Jack, if it wasn't for Jack both me and Sam would probably starve to death."

"Wow… I never would have thought of you as someone who'd work with the Air Force Daniel" Adam stated at realising that Daniel must work with Sam. Daniel led him through the house to the kitchen.

"I never mentioned the Air Force… how did you know about that?" Daniel was confused and slightly concerned that he'd know about the Air Force without being told about it.

"That you didn't" Adam smiled at the puzzlement clearly showing on his face.

"Then… then how…?" Daniel was cut off as Adam answered the uncompleted question.

"Sam told me that she worked for the Air Force when I met her in Paris… the way you just talked was that you work together… it's not hard to put two and two together and make four you know" Adam nodded as Daniel offered him a drink.

"You met Sam in Paris… she never mentioned anything" Daniel shook himself out of his thoughts. Leading the way through to the front room Daniel introduced him to everyone.

Once the introductions were made Daniel could have sworn that he heard Teal'c ask Jack if he'd noticed a resemblance between AdamPerson and Tannith. Jack's reply was a laugh and then, "yeah I guess he does a bit"

"So Sam how come you never mentioned meeting Adam in Paris?" Daniel asked Sam once they were all seated.

"Well it never came up."

"Oh for crying out loud Carter… the least you could do is come up with a decent excuse… I clearly remember asking 'meet any nice French men out there?'" Jack almost shouted in annoyance.

"And I told you the true sir… I never met any nice French men out there" Sam remained straight-faced but inside she was rolling on the floor laughing out loud.

"CARTER… he's sat here in Danny's front room, how can you say you didn't meet any nice French people?"

"I bet I can answer that one" Adam jumped in to the conversation, he too was trying to hide the laughter that he felt inside.

"Oh… ok then what's the reason then Adam?" Jack sat back further into the sofa crossing his arms.

"I'm not French" Adam noticed that a giant smile was now covering almost the whole of Daniel's face now that he'd caught on to what was happening, then all hell broke loose as both Sam and Daniel burst out laughing and Jack was just stuck with a bemused look on his face.

"What?" Jack asked still confused.

"I'm not French… You asked if she met any nice 'French' people, and I'm not French." It finally clicked with Jack and Adam found the look on his face to be one of 'whatever.'

"Oh for crying out load… do I have to spell everything out for you guys?" Jack got up to grab another beer from the fridge.

At that Adam joined Daniel and Sam in their laughing fit.
