'Knock, knock!' Jack exclaimed as he exited the wormhole, 'how you guys doin'?'
'General O'Neill,' Freya stepped past the DHD, 'We had no prior warning to your visit.'
'You are correct as always… it is Freya I'm talking to isn't it?'
'Yes, General. Is there something I can help you with?'
'Well, if you could make Daniel and Teal'c comfortable,' he told her, 'I need to have a word with a certainperson here.' He went to move past her and she side-stepped in front of him.
'Ah General, I can't let you just wander freely here.'
Jack studied her face, 'She's here, isn't she?' He tried to look around a corner, 'Carter! CARTER! Carter, come on! Get out here! That's an order dammit!'
'General, please.' Freya tried to calm him.
'Jack, calm down.' Daniel said quietly, from the steps where he sat.
'For god sake, don't you start again Daniel,' Jack snapped.
'It's okay,' Jacob touched Freya's shoulder gently, 'I've got it.'
'Jacob, it's been a week already, I want to speak to her.' Jack told him angrily, 'Oh, come on! CARTER!'
'Jack,' Jacob held up his hands, 'just breath. Look, I can honestly say she isn't here.'
'What does Selmac say?' Jack asked warily.
'The same.'
'I'd rather hear it from him.'
'General O'Neill, he speaks true; Colonel Carter is indeed not here.'
'Fine!' Jack waited for Jacob to take control, 'I'm getting impatient Jacob.'
'Getting is an understatement.' Daniel said. He stood, 'Look, Jacob, I apologise for Jack's behaviour but he did threaten to shoot me if I didn't go along with this. Just do me a favour, tell her that… if she needs anything… Just… let me know.'
'Thank you Daniel.'
'Fine…' Jack looked from Jacob to Daniel to Jacob again, 'Just… tell her to hurry her ass up.'
'Come O'Neill, we must leave now.' Teal'c cut in.
'Yeah… yeah, I'm coming.' Jack walked towards the eye of the gate. He stopped and looked back, 'tell her.'
Teal'c grabbed his jacket and forcibly pulled him through the gate.
'Yeah, I will.' Jacob watched the gate close.
