Chapter 5

Both Emily and Jack walk in to the canteen head's held high, though Emily's eye were still a little red. Grabbing some food they were about to sit down by themselves, when Daniel called them over. As they walk over to him Daniel look at Emily Satisfying himself she was all right.

"I am sorry about before." Emily nodded as she sat down in unison with her father and made a start on her pasta nod. Jack could feel the angry towards Daniel even though she disguised it as huger. Sighing he said what he knew Emily would be to stubborn to ever say.

"It's sorted Daniel, lets not mention it." Well it was his version of it anyway. Daniel expected though and continued to sip at his coffee. After swallowing Daniel looked at Emily.

"You want to come with me again?" Emily shook her head and was about to explain when Private Johnston ran over. Coming to attention Jack rolled his eye.

"At ease private." Once again the man started breathing. "What is so important that you had to come running in here." Unsure how to say it the Private began muttering. "Speak up." After taking a deep breath private Johnston came out with it.

"Cornel Carter has been admitted to the infirmary." Need no more of an explanation Jack and Daniel jump to their feet and ran out. Emily not wanting to be left behind asked the private to show her where the infirmary was. As she came into the room she saw Sam lying on the bed unconscious. A doctor was near by explaining what had happened to Jack.

"The test backfired and the electricity went up Sam's arm."

"What damage has it caused?" Jack voice told her he did expect much.

"Surprisingly none sir, the surge must have been altered by the Gould's bomb."

"What's a Gould?" Emily asked. Jack turned

"Nothing that should mean anything to you Em! And don't worry were not in any danger."

"Sorry to be the one to rain on your parade Jack but without Carter…." Jack interrupted Daniel's impression of the rain man.

"The Bomb will explode I know I know. I was trying to comfort…. Emily do you remember the physic you took last year." Emily thought back remember the letter she'd wrote her father telling him how she been chosen to do to a special Science course outline the properties electricity and some of the more interesting way it was used.

"Yea why." Jack just smiled and started heading out the door. The three knew him well enough to follow.
