There lying upon one of the mattress type bed's was Anise in the arms of Jack in the motions of making love. Tears started to form behind her eyes and even though she fought hard to stop them they began to fall down her cheek. Sam stood motionless and began to back away but Anise had spotted her standing at the entrance and she met Sam's eyes. The look of sheer heartbreak was plastered over Sam's face but on Anises face was a beaming smile. To Sam's surprise Anise pushed Jack on top of her, letting him discover for himself what had caught her attention. Sam quickly moved behind the wall hoping that he had not seen her. If he had seen her how were they supposed to carry on working together both knowing her feelings for him? How could Sam ever trust her CO again after breaking her heart?

Jack stopped and asked, "Who was that?"

"Oh I think it was Major Carter. It's all right she didn't interrupt anything" Anise mumbled between placing kisses on his neck.

"That was Carter!" Jack jumped up pulling on his clothes and leaving Anise lying there. Jack hurried out of the room and began to search the long and winding hallways for Sam.

Sam ran as fast as she could to escape the images, which were imprinted on her mind. How could he so easily forget how she felt and not even think that him sleeping with Anise would hurt his second in command, his friend? Not looking up she ran straight into Teal'c. Teal'c looked at her concerned as she wrapped her arms around his chest and started sobbing. Teal'c took hold of her and went to the nearest vacated room.

"What is the matter Major Carter?" Teal'cs concern showing through his impassive face

"I just caught Colonel O'Neill with Anise" As soon as Sam spoke those words Teal'c became stiff and rigid again. Sam looked up to see why Teal'c began to stand up and move away.

"Colonel O'Neill, Major Carter I will leave you to discuss the problem that has arisen" Just as Teal'c began to move Carter grabbed his arm and her eyes pleaded with him to stay

"Teal'c please stay, the Colonel and I have nothing to talk about. He should be the one to leave" Sam looked at Jack intently.

"Look Carter we have to talk and if you want Teal'c here then that's fine by me but I'm not going anywhere" Jack said to Sam matching her tone of voice. However when he spoke again his voice became softer.

"Sam, earlier today you told me you only cared for me as a friend so I can not see why you are upset. I care for you so much Sam and wouldn't have even considered sleeping with Anise if you felt the same way that I felt, feel about you. I was on the rebound that's all" Jack stopped looking straight into Sam's eyes. She had tears streaking down her face and for once she was not ashamed to cry. She wanted to hurt him by showing him how much he had her.

"Look Sam, It wasn't entirely my fault, Anise was the one who kept giving me the drinks and telling me all the things I thought I needed to hear" Sam was shocked to hear that he was trying to reason his actions to her.

"Colonel, If you had been paying attention when I last spoke to I was trying to tell you that I cared for you a lot more than I supposed to" Jack stopped and stared as she caught his attention, using the same words that he had used on her, those years ago, Jack knew what she was trying to say he had tried to say it himself once.

"Carter, why didn't you tell me earlier" his eyes pleaded with hers as they were overwhelmed with grief and sorrow knowing that his immature actions for not listening to her like he usually would have and for just jumping into bed with the nearest alien woman he could find, had hurt her so much.

"So what? So we could say how we felt and then gone back to the way we were, Carter and Sir, Major and Colonel? We tried that already didn't we and it resulted in us finding it so hard to talk to each other with out crossing that line we were so close to" Sam had regained her composure and had stopped crying "This afternoon when I said thank you for letting me see my father tonight, you brushed me off, I was trying to tell you that I still cared very much for you, still felt the same as I did when we went through the Zay'tarc incident, because I thought you needed to know that"

"Sam, I thought you were trying to tell me that you only wanted to be my second in command, maybe even friend" Jack moved towards Sam trying to embrace her "I still feel the same way about you as I did from the moment I met you and everything…" Sam held her hand up and backed away from him. Sam was astounded, here stood a man who she could of trusted with her life telling her that even though he slept with someone else still cared for her, even possibly loved, but how hated her?' Sam was confused, pain evident on her face and in her body language. 'No Colonel it doesn't mean a thing anymore..' she thought.

"Well I don't, I don't feel anything towards you, anymore. Sir for all I care, you can go to hell" with that Sam turned and left the room...

"The arguments and comments which you heard all through the debrief and medicals were just a continuation of a very long and stressful mission for us all." Daniel finished the long and complicated tale.

"Wow no wonder Sam left, I never thought Jack could be like that! Especially with Anise. Sam knew how much he hated her" Janet rubbed her face in her hands smoothing down the circles under her eyes from the lack of sleep she had accumulated over the past month.

"What are we going to do Janet, General Hammond can only hold off her resignation for two more weeks and Jack is too much to bare on missions all he does is moan and throw abuse and sarcasm, even Teal'c has had ago at him on occassion." Daniel watched as Janet got up and moved towards him.

"Daniel I miss her, she's my best friend" Janet began to cry and was greeted with two outstretched arms taking her in to embrace and hold.

"I miss her too. You can't blame Jack for thinking that Sam didn't want more than friends because on how many occasions have you tried to ask her about her feelings and she just mumbles some incomprehensible answer or makes a quick exit. Sam probably only realized just how much she was in love with him when she saw them together."

"Thanks Daniel for telling me and letting me in, it was driving me crazy. I was even blaming myself. Thank you for being there for me, what would I do without you" Janet looked up into his eyes and stared deep within them, moving on to her tiptoes. Janet could see Daniels tilting his head to meet hers. It was a moment that seemed to be lasting forever.

Knock Knock

They broke apart quickly avoiding each other's gaze, unable to speak.

Knock Knock Knock

"Come in" Janet finally said in a dry soft voice.

"Hi Janet, I just wondered if I could have a word please…" Jack stopped and noticed Daniel standing by her desk, hands in pocket.

"Oh Hi Daniel. Sorry it's Ok I'll come back later" Jack began to back step out of the office.

"Jack wait I think you should know something" Daniel looked at Janet apologetically "I'm sorry Janet I know she said not to say anything but he has a right to know, you know he does" Janet knew that if he found out they had kept that from him he would never forgive them.

"O.K Daniel. Uhm Colonel, Major Carter rang me about an hour ago" Jack turned pale and leant against the door he had just closed behind him.

"Sam? What did she say? Did she say anything about where she was or if she was coming back" Jack asked calmly with hope.

"She didn't say much just that she had to go and that she is fine and that she misses us" Janet had relayed the details back to.

"Did she say where she was? Or anything that could help us find her?" He sat down in the chair Daniel had previously sat on, head in his hands "Janet please if you know anything please tell me" He looked like he was going to break down.

"All she said was that it was nearly half two in the morning and needed to get to sleep" Janet noticed Jack sit up straight in the chair, something had caught his attention.

"What time is it? You said she rang about an hour ago?" Jack questioned.

"Yes Jack, its 9:30 now, so she must of rang at half 8" Daniel answered saving Janet further questioning.

"We have to go see General Hammond I think I know where she is"

"How?" But before Jack could hear the question he was on his way down to General Hammond's office. Janet and Daniel however did not follow Jack straight away.

"Janet" "Daniel" they said together and smiled.

"We better follow Jack he might be onto something," Daniel said moving to open the door. As his hand reached the handle, another hand, Janet's, met it. They smiled and pulled their hands apart.

"Daniel I …"

Teal'c, Dr Fraiser and Dr Jackson to General Hammonds office Janet was interrupted by the intercom. Daniel smiled at Janet

"Hold that thought yeah?" he reassured her. Janet smiled back and started walking out of the infirmary.
