"Carter."
"Hey Sam, how's the meeting coming along?"
Janet decided to phone Sam before she tells the guys the news.
"Terrible. I don't know why I'm here. The Joined Chief have already made up their minds, the meetings were just procedure until this guy came along, Colonel Michael Thomson. He has problems with every thing on the report, from the equipments SGC needed to the amount of paper we use." Sam signed. She missed her friends; it's always hard to fight a battle alone. I missed Jack, I missed the easy atmosphere in SGC, missed all the friendliness.
"Never heard of him. Why does his opinion matters if the Joined Chief already approved the budget for the new equipments?" Janet could tell that Sam's really stressed. Don't I have the perfect thing to cheer you up! Great, one stone two birds, I am good.
"Apparently, Colonel Thomson works for some guy with politic influences that the Joined Chief decided it's better to get along with him than making new enemy, which means I get to answer every questions he has. I missed you guys, but like I said in the morning, it looks like I'll be staying till early next week." Sam signed again. She didn't sign up to join the Air Force to attend meetings that last over a week.
"Well, the guys and me missed you too, especially the Colonel. He tried to break into your lab again this morning. Thankfully Daniel and Teal'c were there before any damage occurred."
"He did what! I thought he already learned his lesson last time he tried that. What does he want anyways?"
"Well, you'll have to ask him that, but I managed to get him away from it. I asked the guys to dinner tonight. Hopefully that'll get his mind off you for some time although Daniel seriously doubts that it'll help. He even suggests signing Jack up for Ophra. His exact words were Air Force Special Ops Colonel who couldn't live without his girlfriend."
"I don't think Jack would appreciate Daniel's humor." Sam smiled. She could imagine how much Jack's getting on people's nerves.
"You have to admit that it would make an interesting episode."
"No I don't have to admit to anything. Besides I am not his girlfriend."
"Oh please girl, wake up. You two have been dating for the past three months if you are not his girlfriend then what are you? These two will be the death of me. Not his girlfriend!
"We are not really dating really, just friends having dinner and movies that all." Sam blushed. She still can't believe that it's allowed. Everything still seems like a dream and she's afraid that she'll wake up soon.
"Friends huh? Then how come when Daniel goes to meeting, Jack won't lose his mind and starts doing crazy things?
"Daniel..."
"Never mind. I didn't phone to argue. Remember I said the guys are coming over for BBQ? Well, we decided that it's only fair if we are having team night you should be able to participate too so we are sending you a special package, it should arrive sometime tonight so be prepare."
"Special package? Jan, it's not some kind of joke is it? I don't think I'll be able to appreciate any jokes in the near future after the encounter I have with Colonel Thomson, he has no sense of humor whatsoever."
"Don't worry, you'll like the package. Well, SG7 just gate in. I need to go, you know how they're just like Daniel; trouble just can't seem to avoid them. Try to relax, I'll talk to you tomorrow."
"Bye Jan, talk to you later and good luck with SG7."
