GOOD LUCK & GODSPEED
PART 10

A/N: thanks all here are the last parts I hope you enjoy


We made it out of the infirmary and to the locker rooms. Sam with the help of one of the nurse got dressed while Teal'c, Daniel and I went to change in the men's locker room.

I told them what I had found out and d Teal'c go over to Sam's and get some of her things and to see what type of damage he had done. I wanted to go but knew Sam would object so we would tell her they would be going to get supplies.

We got out as Sam was opening the door. We made it to the elevators and were surrounded by Colonel Dixon's and Colonel Reynolds team. They shook my hand and expressed how happy they were to see I was back and the team was back together.

Dixon and Reynolds caught my eye and motioned to the side I made my way over and listened to what they had to say.

They filled me in on the whole Pete fiasco. Both were upset that he had made the accusations and said no one on the base believed him.

"Yeah the rumor mill before was pretty bad but everyone knows you and Major Carter would never cross the line. You are the example all the other teams follow and we were just as hurt by his accusations as I'm sure both of you were".

I tried to remain calm but I couldn't do it. This had to stop and as soon as I had the chance I would take care of the problem.

Dixon and Reynolds asked if I needed help taking out the trash and I smiled and said they had to stand in line. Teal'c and Daniel were aheadught my eye and motioned to the side I made my way over and listened to what they had to say.

They filled me in on the whole Pete fiasco. Both were upset that he had made the accusations and said no one on the base believed him.

"Yeah the rumor mill before was pretty bad but everyone knows you and Major Carter would never cross the line. You are the example all the other teams follow and we were just as hurt by his accusations as I'm sure both of you were".

I tried to remain calm but I couldn't do it. This had to stop and as soon as I had the chance I would take care of the problem.

Dixon and Reynolds asked if I needed help taking out the trash and I smiled and said they had to stand in line. Teal'c and Daniel were ahead of them. Dixon said his team would help as would Reynolds team, the geeks in the lab, the computer techs and hell all of the base if necessary.

"This cop messed with the wrong team and we were just waiting for you to come back for payback."

The doors opened and I shook both of their hands and said I'd be in touch. I walked in and stood next to Carter.

She had withdrawn from the crowd knowing they knew what had happen concerning Pete.

The doors closed and I took her hand and whispered to her what Reynolds and Dixon had said. She closed her eyes and bit her lip trying to stop the tears. I pulled her close and said she was safe and everyone at the base did not believe the lies.

We made it to the final checkpoint and I looked around for my truck and remembered it had been months since I had drove it.

Daniel motioned to the end of the parking lot and I saw my baby.

She was clean and I turned to Daniel and he shrugged saying some of the guys had decided to wash and wax it when they had free time.

Teal'c took Daniel's keys and said he would follow, I was still holding Sam's hand as we made it to the truck.

I helped her into the back seat and joined her. She said she was hungry and my stomach agreed with her.

Daniel said he'd get us something to eat but nothing heavy and we left the mountain hopefully for a rest but I knew things where brewing and I had to just wait. Daniel was right the answers were in me and I would find them and hopefully fulfill my dream of being with Sam.

She started to nod off and I pulled her closer to me to sleep. The dark circles under her eyes were starting to fade. The last two nights of sleep were doing wonders and her eating was helping also.

We made it home and I woke Sam up she stretched and yawned and apologized for falling asleep. Daniel said he'd take our lunch inside and I helped her out of my truck. I had my arm around her as we walked up the driveway and saw that my door was ajar. I stopped, saw that Teal'c was with Daniel and went for my gun that wasn't there. Sam saw what I did and was about to question me when I motioned her to be quiet. I pointed to the door that was ajar and she started to back away and pull me with her.

I nodded my head no and she pleaded with me to come with her that if Pete was there he would hurt me and she could not live with the thought of me being harmed by him.

Daniel and Teal'c came and I pointed to the door being slightly open and I told Daniel to take Sam to my truck and call the SF's this problem was going to be taken care of now.

We went in to find out if he was as stupid as I thought he was and how much pleasure I was going to get from pounding his head into every wall in my kitchen and living room.

I motioned to Teal'c to check the bedrooms and bathroom and I went to check the living room and kitchen. The dinning room was clear but I heard noises in the kitchen and slowly walked in when the door opened and I was the one surprised.

The screams brought Teal'c running from the bedroom and Danny and Sam running from outside.

I was on the floor struggling with my attacker and all I could do was laugh.

It was Cassie and she had screamed when she had seen me and knocked me to the ground when she went to give me a hug.

That's how my team found me with a very excited teenager yelling and screaming that I was back and me on the floor.

Sam looked relieved and came down to the floor to get Cassie's attention and she looked up and squealed again and launched herself on to Sam who fell back thanks to Cassie's momentum.

Teal'c helped me up and Daniel just stood to the side and watched. He was trying to hold back the tears of watching Sam and Cassie together again and caught me looking at him. He mumbled he was going to cancel the SF's and put our lunch in the fridge and left.

He was hiding something and I would get to the bottom of it. Watching Cassie wipe the tears from Sam's eyes I felt sorry that we had put her through this pain. She had suffered enough losing her birth mother to Nitri then losing her adopted mother a couple of months ago and almost losing all of us.

I stopped and felt a dizzy spell and the words you're all she has left and I'll be damn if she was going to watch her baby cry came into my mind. I gripped the chair and Teal'c asked if I was all right.

Sam scrambled up from the floor and touched my forehead I waved them both off saying I was fine.

I looked to see the concern on Cassie's face. I smiled and assured her that I was taken aback by her over enthusiastic welcome home and opened my arms and she came to me. She held on and whispered she was happy her prayers had been answered and to never pull a stunt like that again.

I mumbled yes and she pulled back and said she was in the kitchen because she was starved.

"I don't know what I was thinking, you haven't been here for months and I expected to find something in your fridge? Silly me so how about some pizza and some Simpson's? I know for a fact that the Tivo recorded them for you."

Teal'c said no pizza the doctor had both Sam and me on a strict diet and Daniel agreed. He said they were going to the market in a bit to stock the fridge with health food. He asked Cassie how had she gotten here so quickly.

"I was already on my way back when you called Daniel. I was about an hour away and I came straight here and used the key Jack gave me for emergencies."

I looked at all of them and thought how lucky I was. This was my family and why did I ever think they didn't need me.

I closed my eyes again. What was happening to me and where did that thought come from. Sam grasped my hand and pulled me to the living room and sat me down. She was concerned as was Cassie. I told them I was tired and really should get some rest. They all agreed.

My stomach rumbled and Cassie said, "eat first then rest your stomach is telling you something Jack so sit and I'll get your lunch, you too Sam. Once you two have eaten it's off too bed. If you thought my mom's bedside manner was bad you haven't seen mine. Put it this way she feared staying home and me taking care of her."

We both laughed and she got up kissed us both and went to the kitchen.

Daniel and Teal'c said they were going to get supplies and wouldn't be long. I looked at Daniel and he nodded. They were going to stop by Sam's to see if he was there.

Sam blurted out, "to the market Daniel not my place understand. I don't want to be worrying about you two. I have to deal with Pete on my own I can handle him trust me. He just has to blow off some steam and he'll be okay. He's just angry because he couldn't contact me. Please you two I know you both mean well but I'm asking you two to trust me to fix this."

Cassie came in and placed the plates on the table and turned to Sam.

"NO! No he won't Sam and we both know it. This is beyond blowing off some steam. He's gone over the edge and I for one am afraid of him. He hurt you, you thought I didn't know well I did and I'm ashamed that I didn't tell anyone. You should hear the messages he left on my voice mail it's horrifying to hear the hatred he has for all of us. He's obsessed with you Sam and what he's done to your house…"

I stood up and pulled Cassie to me and asked, "what did he do to her house Cassie and how do you know?"

She closed her eyes and tried to change the subject saying she didn't want to spoil our homecoming.

I nodded no and told her to spill.

"Before coming over here I thought Sam might need some clothing and well I went over after I was sure he was not there and went in and found the place in shambles and, and..."

She tried not to let the tears fall but whimpered and held me tighter.

Sam stood up and came over and pulled her from my arms and picked up her chin and asked.

"What did he do Cassie? He didn't touch you did he. Oh my god, I'll kill him, I'm sorry Cassie for failing you after I promised your mother I'd take care of you."

They were both crying but Cassie said no that he did not hurt her but what he did to Sam's house and the destruction he had left behind. The pictures he had torn up of her family and of all of them and the messages he left all over the house was frightening.

Sam reassured her that the house didn't matter to her that as long as she was safe everything else could be replaced.

I pulled Daniel and Teal'c over and tried to sound calm but they both were beyond being civil. I told Daniel to call Hammond and tell him what Cassie had said and call the Colorado Springs P.D. to tell them about the incident. It had to be reported it had gone to far.

I wanted to go and find this jerk and hurt him for hurting two of the most important people in my life.

Sam had sat Cassie down and held her she looked up to me and I came to her and caressed her cheek. He would not get away with this.

Daniel finished talking to Hammond and the police wanted someone at Sam's house to answer questions for them. They were inquiring as to why Cassie had not reported it when she had first discovered the scene. She blurted out she was afraid and knew we would be home and I would take care of everything.

"Your right kiddo I will take care of everything. First things first Daniel go to Sam's and see what they find and ask how we can get a restraining order for Sam and Cassie against Pete the phone calls should be enough for that. Teal'c you go with him and see what you can find out. We'll wait here and I'll call Hammond to send over some SF's to watch the house till they find this psycho."

The guys left and we ate lunch. Cassie caught me up on what was happening in her life and all the colleges she had been accepted to. She wanted to study medicine like her mom and said she wanted to go to school close by. I was happy to hear she wanted to stay close to home and promised myself that I would make a bigger effort in spending more time with her. She needed us as much as we needed her. Sam yawned and said she wanted to take a nap. Cassie gave Sam her medication and I took her to my room to sleep.

The place was spotless and I asked who had done the cleaning. She shrugged and said she had come over some times and when she couldn't she had hired a cleaning service to do it.

"Couldn't have you come back to a dirty house, it wouldn't have been right."

I pulled out a pair of my sweat pants and a t shirt and she smiled and started to undress. I turned around and she called out.

"Jack it's not like you haven't seen me naked before? Why did you turn around?"

My mind was in overload. I had seen Carter naked, and I couldn't remember it. Damn ancient technology damn half-baked brain for not letting me remember seeing her naked and wait if I saw her naked…

I blurted out, "we slept together?"

Sam came to me in my clothes and sat me on the bed.

"Jack your scaring me, tell me the truth do you remember anything that happened between us or have you just been pretending to get me to eat and sleep?"

She was too smart for her own good. It was hopeless when I heard a crash and a scream.

I got up and told Sam to lock the door and to call Daniel, she was in shock and said no that she was coming with me that Cassie needed her. I yelled at her no to stay put and to get out.

I ran down the hallway to see Cassie on the floor in the dinning room and I looked around to see were this bastard was. It was going to end today here in my house. He had been above the law for too long and would finally pay.

I checked to see if she was all right and she opened her eyes and gasped before the darkness claimed me.
