Carter in orange county chap8

Author's note: Okay so its time to merge them, and I just want to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone who has reviewed, it means a lot to me that people took time, especially as this is my first fanfic.


"You know Seth, we could easily call her at home…" Sometimes Ryan wondered what went on in Seth's head; he was smart, so why couldn't he use his initiative?
"How are we going to find her?"
"Well she works at Cheyenne mountain right?" and affirmative head nod told him that Seth was with him so far,
"Cheyenne Mountain is in Colorado, therefore she must also live in Colorado; and probably quite near. All we have to do is search some address books until we find her. How hard can it be?"

4 address books later Ryan was regretting his last statement, it was just asking for trouble really, that's when Seth suddenly sat up straight,
"I have the address and telephone number"
"Sorry what did you say Seth?" Ryan was very, very, very tired and he didn't hear a word Seth had said.
"I have it! I have the address and phone number!"
"Great, so do we call, or go over in person?"
"Well after the fiasco of the last phone call I think something like this should be done in person, it's too important to screw up."

And with that Seth got up, left all the other address books sprawled over the table and ran out to the car.
"Looks like we're going for a drive' thought Ryan.

When they reached the right street Seth became very quiet. He almost seemed to have stopped breathing. 'Really' though Ryan to himself 'It was quite disconcerting when Seth stopped talking'.
"You know, we could wait until morning if you want some time to adjust?"
"Ryan, we Cohens are very resilient, we can deal with things incredibly well. You have nothing to worry about"
"Okay, well we're here. Do you want to go first or shall I?"
"No, its okay, I can find my way through a front yard"

And with that Seth got out of the passenger's side and marched off to the house, the lights were on and so Ryan assumed Samantha was home. 'Well here it goes' he thought.


Sam was laid out on the sofa. She couldn't stop thinking about the phone call earlier and that whoever it was had mentioned her dad, so she couldn't relax either. Suddenly there was a knock on her front door. Sam got up to answer it.

'Strange' she thought 'If it was the guys they would have phoned first'


Seth was waiting patiently outside the house, a light was turning on and someone was walking towards him. Ryan had joined him on the front step and he found it comforting to know that he had someone with him.


Carter turned the porch light on; there were two shapes on her front step. It couldn't be Daniel or Teal'c; the silhouettes weren't nearly big enough. Strange.

She decided to just see what the strangers wanted; it wasn't like she couldn't take care of herself. And with that in mind she opened the door.


Seth was starting to wonder what was going on, and then the porch light came on and nearly blinded him. If Ryan hadn't of caught him then he could well be face first in the shrubs by now. The person inside the house, (he hoped it was Samantha Carter) seemed to have paused, maybe she knew somehow that it was the mystery callers from earlier he thought sardonically. And then the door flew open. And Seth nearly fell into the shrubs again.


Okay, so they finally matched up. If anyone has any requests or anything I would love for you to let me know, sorry this chapter isnt very long. It seems longer in word but I am trying to make them all a bit longer, bit at a time. :- )
Okay, so let me know what you thought and I'll get right on to writing another chapter.
