Say it isn't so chp4


Author's Note: Thanks for all the wonderful reviews folks. I love them. Here's the next instalment. I must admit this story seems to have taken on a mind of its own.
We'll see where it goes. Enjoy.

Jack quietly closed the door to Sam's hospital room and stormed down the corridor with a look on his face that would make any hardened drill sergeant quake in their boots as he headed towards the waiting room that the SF's had escorted the two Police Officers into.

Jack entered the room with such force that both Officers' jumped as the door slammed closed behind Jack.

"Officers, I have been informed by Col. Carter that you have a statement from her. Is this correct?" Jack said in a thunderous tone. The junior Police Officer was intimidated by the General's behaviour.

"Yes, Sir we do have a statement from Colonel Carter." The junior Officer replied still feeling very unsure of himself in the presence of the General.

"Then why do you need to speak to her again, when she is receiving medical treatment." Jack asked in such a dangerous tone that both Officers paled slightly. This time it was Officer Price that spoke up.

"Because there are holes in her story that just don't make any sense." Officer Price said as he glared at Jack.

"And why is that, Price?" Jack demanded purposefully losing the Officer's title, this made Officer Price uncomfortable, Jack immediately noticed this as the Officer shifted on the spot.

"Frankly Sir, it's because of who she said did this too her. We know him and this isn't the sort of thing that he would do." Officer Price responded.

"Are you telling me that there are no witnesses that can corroborate her story?" Jack bellowed.

"We didn't question anyone at the scene, but another squad was dispatched to question them. But I doubt they will be able to confirm who did this too her." Officer Price told Jack.

"Officer Price, I'm turning this investigation over to the military police as it deals with classified material and under local law you have no jurisdiction. Therefore you're dismissed." Officer Price was about to protest when his junior partner poked him and signalled that they should leave. The look that was currently on Jack's face was murderous. But Officer Price couldn't help at making on parting shot.

"General I'll be making a full report to the chief when I get back to headquarters." The Officer said as they walked out the door.

"You do that." Jack snapped at him. "General O'Neill, two ll's." Jack called out as the officers headed down the corridor.

Jack opened his cell phone and dialled Col Reynolds's number.

"Reynolds" The Colonel answered the phone.

"Hey it's Jack. I need you to get four of our most trusted people together and go and pick up a guy named Pete Shannhan. I want him brought in; call me when it's done. Oh and at this stage it's not official." Jack told Reynolds.

"No problem, Sir. I'll call when it's done. I hope Col. Carter's okay, Sir" Jack closed the phone. He was certain that by the time that this was finished it would be all over the base as to what had happened.

He grabbed two cups of coffee and headed back to the room Sam was in.

Meanwhile Back at the Coffee Shop

The Officers' who had been questioning the diner's in the café were finding themselves in a very awkward position, every witness that they had spoken to so far, had given the same description of the man who assaulted the blonde lady.

They had all given them the same information that the man was clearly the aggressor and that the young women had tried to leave. The last person they had left to interview was the coffee shop owner. His other staff had taken over from him so he sat down in the back of the shop with the two Officers and given them his statement.

When both Officers got back in the marked squad car, Officer Clark was flicking through his notes as his partner drove back down town. Having worked in the force for a number of years he had seen his fair share of domestics but the description that the witnesses had told him fit another case he remembered working a few years ago but that time the victim hadn't survived.

He dreaded bringing this up with his Duty Officer it was going to be a very long day indeed.

A Few Blocks Away

Pete pulled his car into the garage. He knew that he had hurt her. He didn't care he wanted her and he wasn't going to let her go without a fight he wanted her no matter what he had to do.

He opened the door from the garage and stepped into the house. He walked towards the bathroom he needed to have a shower. He was too busy pulling off his jacket that he failed to see or hear the people behind him as one very large hand clamped firmly over his mouth the other arm went around his body to pin his arms against his side.

He heard a voice that sent shivers up his spine.

"I would be well within my rights to dismember you for what you have done to Colonel Carter." With lightning speed a blind fold was put across his eyes and firm handcuffs where snapped over his wrists behind his back. He was about to scream when the large hand that was clamped over his mouth was removed but it was replaced just as quickly with a gag. He was roughly dragged out the back of the house and into a waiting van.
