Chapter 8 Un-wanted findings

You flew fast and flung her down onto the ground.

"Crap, you have company, natives with bows and arrows and spears" You whispered to Sam. She nodded. Jack pointed his gun to the air and fired. It scared them away.

"Damnit General, You said no hostiles" Jack muttered and helped Sam up. You saw part of her BDU was ripped. Teal'c saw it too.

"MajorCarter, your bleeding." He said. She looked and felt the cut. Blood was all over her hand. When she stood on it she nearly collapsed on the ground. Daniel grabbed her just in time.

"Ow" She muttered.

"Come on we gotta get you back to the Gate" Daniel said. You mentally kicked yourself, If only you had heard them earlier, or you had flew faster. They limped back to the gate with Teal'c Ahead making sure that they didn't come back. Jack stayed behind with Sam. You didn't want them to also come back so you were flying around franticly watching for movement.

Once you had got to the gate Teal'c dialed home and They limped through the Gate. Before they got down the ramp Sam was helped to the Infirmary and you writing down what happened on Janet's clipboard.

Sam was soon bandaged up and sitting on a bed.

"Just my luck" She said, "I die only to come back alive to get hit with a spear"

"Ha ha ha, just be thank full you fell to the ground" Janet said.

"I guess"

"And be thank full they were scared away so easily" Jack said. You wanted to talk but it would be weird to come into the Infirmary like before, Jack would ask awkward questions.

So you stood there listening to the many conversations, punishing yourself mentally. Soon Sam was released to her quarters and you waited for the visitors to leave. Jack had some over due paper work, Daniel and Teal'c where anywhere on base. You thought they went to a movie. You showed yourself.

"Hey Sam" you said, she looked up.

"Hey Sapphire"

"I'm sorry" You confessed.

"About what?"

"For letting you get shot"

"Ah, don't worry about it"

You bet in Sam's eyes, you looked disbelieving and tired.

"Don't worry about me, just think of it this way, at least I didn't get hit right on"

"True"

The door opened. Quickly you changed into the Lieutenant. It was Jack.

"Hey Carter"

"Hi, Sir"

"hungry?"

"A bit, sir"

"Good I brought you dinner"

"Is it really that time?" you ask.

"Yup... hey aren't you that lieutenant form before?"

"Uh yea," You said. Shifty eyes.

"Umm I'd better go, I'll see you later" You said.

"Uh, Ok" Sam said. You left to go to talk to Janet.

"Who is that Carter?" Jack asked.

"Lieutenant Thrift" Sam said digging in to the food.

"Who!"

"Lieutenant Thrift, she's just transferred."

"All right..."

Later you had amused yourself with messing with computers and the usual haunting, while Jack was online. He was into the USAF personnel database. He typed in: 'Lieutenant Thrift '. The search came back clean. He tried 'Thrift' The search came back with 4, three were in some other country and was male, The last was dead, died of old age.

There was no such file for a 'Lieutenant Thrift'. So that meant, either the girl lied to Cater about her name, or... no, she wouldn't... Sam wouldn't lie, or keep a secret like this. Come to think of it She has been having that I-Know-Something-You-Don't-Know look, but that was normal. I mean come on, Sam was a science officer, They always knew things he didn't, or any other person for that matter. He did his job the way he wanted to and was instructed to. None of the requirements said that he needed to know all the techno-babble. But still he was sure she said Thrift. He musta heard wrong, that's it he heard wrong.

Is Jack going to find out? hmm maybe, maybe not but what I know is you'll have to wait for...
