Chapter 21
Last time…
She glared at him as he started to back away.
"I'm… just… gonna go… get the Doc," he said as he backed away from the bed and slipped out the curtain.
Now…
Damn idiot. Of all the questions he had to ask.-
Daniel and Jesslyn walked into the infirmary. Jesslyn made her way over to a chair next to Sam's bed and sat down while Daniel chose to remain standing. "Hi Sam," Daniel and Jesslyn said, Daniel was fidgeting nervously he turned to Sam and said, "excuse me," before dashing off to Janet's office.
After calming down Sam turned to Jesslyn, "Where did Daniel go anyway?"
"Janet's going to hide him."
"Why?"
"Ah, well you see its like this… I know Sam, and Dad knows I know."
"How'd you find out?"
"Daniel snuck me into security," Jesslyn grinned, "seems quite a few of the women down there have crushes on him."
"Ah… so that's why he's hiding," Sam stated knowingly, "Jack is so going to kill him," she mumbled.
"Yep. Dad's gone on a lost search."
"Why's that?"
"I already told you Janet's going to hide Daniel and she'll pick a place Jack would never think to look."
Meanwhile on Jack's futile search…
"Hey Doc," Jack said as he saw Janet come out of a closet. "Got those pictures yet?" Really he was looking for Daniel but if he got the pictures it would give him a good excuse for Sam.
"Um…" she glanced nervously at the closet then back at Jack, "just going."
Earlier…
Daniel ran into Janet's office and looked around quickly before spotting the petite doctor opening a file cabinet in the back of the room. He quickly walked up behind her, "Janet," he said grabbing her shoulder and turning her around, "You've gotta hide me."
She looked at him in startled bewilderment, "What?"
"Hide… Me…" he repeated again slowly and pleadingly.
She rolled her eyes in exasperation but didn't ask any questions. Yet. "Follow me," Janet said as she grabbed him by the wrist and started walking.
"What did you do THIS time?" she asked exiting her office and nearing a closet on the other side of the hall. All the while looking for signs of storming air force colonels or angry Jaffa approaching in search of the wayward archeologist.
"I… um… kind of… well maybe… um… snuck Jess into security…… but it was her idea!" he added as an afterthought, no use in taking all the blame. If he was going down he sure as hell was gonna take Jess with him.
Janet rolled her eyes again, "for a man with a doctorate you are such an idiot," she muttered under her breath.
"I heard that!"
She smiled at him sweetly before opening the door to the closet they had been headed for. "Shut up and get in there," she said chuckling.
Daniel, not realizing this was where they had been heading, looked at the slightly cramped closet with disbelief. "Wha…? Why here!"
"Because it's the one place the Colonel will never look for you."
Daniel looked at her skeptically, "hmm… ok, I owe you one."
"I'll say," she said grinning.
"Listen if I outlive the week… will you get coffee with me?"
She rolled her eyes yet again at his obliviousness, of course she'd have coffee with him. "Just… Just stay down," she said humoredly.
Daniel Laughed and started to say something.
"Shut up. Someone's coming," Janet said before she hurried out of the closet shutting the door.
A/N: sry this took so long… I lost the paper it was on and just recently found it shrugs
