The briefing finished about half an hour later. Jack noticed Captain Corrigan glance in his direction, out of the corner of his eye he saw that the rest of SG1 were already making there way down the stairs so he walked round the table towards her.
"You know it really is a small world." He started conversationally. "With you being assigned to the SGC, and SG1 no less. Small, small world." She smiled gently.
"This may come as a shock to you Jack, but my being here is no coincidence."
"What?!" he said in mock shock "What on earth do you mean?" She glanced around warily.
"This isn't exactly the right place to divulge the exact details." Jack nodded
"C'mon we can use my office." He said walking out of the briefing room door.
"You have an office." She said in disbelief.
"Why is that so hard for people to believe?" Jack said in a hurt voice as she laughed.

Sam had just finished making sure all her 'doohickeys' were going to be well looked after while SG1 were on their next mission and was making her way to find Daniel and see what he was up to, there was still two hours before SG1 had to gear up and depart and she was at a loss for what to do as she usually had some work to do.
As she reached the lift she saw the doors closing. "Hey!" She called. "Hold the lift!" Smiling as the doors opened to reveal Teal'c she said. "Hiya Teal'c, thanks."
"You are welcome Major Carter."
"So Teal'c," she said as the lift shuddered into movement upwards "where are you going?"
"I am endeavouring to locate O'Neill, I am on my way to enquire whether Daniel Jackson has seen him." Teal'c replied.
"You can't find him?" Teal'c nodded slightly. "Last I saw him was at the briefing."
"As did I." Teal'c said as the lift stopped at level eighteen.
"Let's go ask Daniel then." Sam said as they exited the lift.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Daniel looked up from his desk as he heard someone enter his office. He raised his eyebrow when he saw Sam and Teal'c, he'd been expecting a bored Jack.
"Guys?" he asked.
"Hey Daniel." Sam smiled. "We wondering if . . ."
"You knew the location of Colonel O'Neill?" Teal'c finished as Sam nodded.
"No I haven't seen him since the briefing." He paused. "Why?" he asked curiously.
"We can't find him." Sam said simply.
"Oh. Well, maybe he's in his office." Daniel replied.
"His office?" The Colonel has an office?" Sam asked incredulously.
"That's what I said." Daniel replied with a smirk.
"Where is it?" she asked.
"No idea." Sam walked towards Daniel's computer.
"Well then lets find out." She said.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"No way."
"Yes way." Corrigan replied.
"And how long exactly have you been working with them?"
"Don't you judge me Jonathan O'Neill, you worked with them for a year and a half, while you were married and had a son, and I'm only doing paperwork and research, it's not like I'm actually-"
"Okay!" Jack cut her off. "Okay fine."
"Good." There was a quiet pause.
"Kinsey?!" Jack burst out. "Are you sure?"
"Positive."
"Damn."
"I know, they basically sent me over to make sure you had a perfect alibi, and what's more solid than not being on the planet at the time?"
"Yeah, not that I could stand up and say that in court. Did they find out who exactly hired them?"
"No, they have a name but it it's fake, we looked it up. But from the way they've gone about it it isn't anyone military, so either it's political or from a civilian organisation."
"Hmm, I s'pose you figured it might be a set up?"
"What? To catch them in the act? The best of the best who've been at it for almost twenty years? Who the cops the military, the government everyone has been after for all that time? Yeah it crossed our minds Jack."
"Right, and yet you're still going through with it?"
"They are still going through with it Jack, trap or no trap they get to take a shot at Kinsey. And they're just like you Jack, too good to get caught." she smiled.
"Right." he rolled his eyes. "And so we get the pleasure of your company on a mission to planet boring. Wonderful." She grinned.
"Well I have to make sure you stay off-world while their doing their thing Jack."
"Oh so you're baby-sitting me? Even better." He grouched, making her smile more. "Get off my desk, I could be doing some paperwork." She shifted slightly from her cross-legged position on his desk but didn't get off.
"Sure Jack, you, paperwork, whatever." He glared at her, but his eyes were twinkling with amusement. "C'mon Jack I'm not that bad am I?" she pouted as she uncrossed her legs and slid forward so she was sitting on the edge of the desk and her legs were touching his. Raising her eyebrow she leaned forward.
"Well I suppose it'll makes things more interesting." He smiled.
The noise of someone clearing their throat came from the doorway and both their heads snapped round to see Daniel standing just inside the doorway. Daniel turned his head slightly at Teal'c voice.
"Daniel Jackson have you located . . .?" Teal'c stopped as he drew to a halt next to Daniel in the doorway, he was shortly followed by Sam. Daniel turned back to looking at Jack and raised an inquisitive eyebrow.
Jack cleared his throat and stood up, Captain Corrigan also stood. "Well sir," she said "I'll be going then." Jack's eyes followed her as she headed for the door and the others made room for her as she left.
