"Vodka over here" Daniel called to the bar tender while he waited for jack to take his shot
"Shouldn't you slow down a bit Daniel?" Carter asked watching him sway as he moved
"Yeah Daniel, I thought you didn't like alcohol?" Jack queried as he ushered Daniel to take his turn
"I said I didn't like beer" Daniel reminded as he knocked down tree balls at once "besides were not going off world tomorrow thanks to the strike" he bounced the white ball off the corner pocket and it traveled back across the table to the 8 ball and knocked it down the opposite corner pocket.
"Where did you learn to play like that?" Jack scowled and Daniel nodded in Carters direction "figures" Jack muttered handing Daniel the ten bucks he had won.
"Want to play again?" Daniel asked picking up the triangle
"Nah" Jack shook his head and Daniel turned to Sam
"12 games are enough" Sam said sitting down in their corner booth with Jack. Daniel sighed and was about to pack up the table when a familiar voice called his name
"I'll verse you" Dr. Janet Fraiser called as she approached them.
"Janet, what are you doing here?" Carter asked jumping up from Jacks arms in a hurry
"Teal'c told me Daniel was coming here so I came to tell him that the off world mission tomorrow is back on. I couldn't get through to your mobile Sam" Janet explained and Carter whipped out her phone and cursed at it
"It's been switched off" she glared at Jack who had ducked out of Sam's reach so she couldn't hit him for medaling with her phone.
"Where's Cassie?" Daniel asked setting up a game of pool for him and Fraiser
"She's at a friend's house; she has a curfew of midnight"
"I take it your driving home so no alcohol?" Sam asked before having a mouthful of beer. Janet shook her head and lifted the soda she had brought in with her.
2 hours later
The four of them sat around the corner booth laughing over stories of their separate pasts.
"That's when I switched to Albalon" Janet explained and Daniel looked at her inquisitively
"Albalon? The decongestant?" Daniel asked intrigued
"Yes, I have allergies too" Janet laughed
"Really? Wow" Daniel shrugged and finished off his drink
"You didn't know that?" Janet questioned
"Oh you wont believe what I discovered today" Daniel piped up changing the conversation and Jack tuned in
"Daniel" he warned
"I'm not telling her that" Daniel laughed and Janet looked at Jacks reaction worriedly
"What aren't you telling me?" Janet asked Daniel but watched Jack cautiously
"Don't worry, it's just work stuff" Daniel lied and Janet picked up on it
"No it's not, you know something" she asked grinning. She reminded Jack of the look Daniel had when he was on the trail about him and Sam. Janet's eyes darted between Daniel and Jack until a look in Carters eyes caught her attention.
"Oh it's that, I already know about that" she laughed and all three of them stared at her amazed
"She knows? How does she know? Wait, what do you know?" Jack asked slightly panicked
"You two are sleeping together" she said pointing between Jack and Sam "Cassie told me"
"I wonder how she found out" Jack glared at Sam
"I didn't mean to tell her, she dragged it out of me. She's very persuasive" Sam defended
"Yeah well I don't care what you do in your private lives just as long as you're careful" Janet added
"Yeah doc, we're really stupid enough to forget protection" Jack's sarcasm was almost irritating. Carter went bright red and nudged him
"What?" he asked turning to her
"She meant don't get caught" Carter explained and Jack went silent feeling very embarrassed
"Well, I think I've had enough for tonight. Do you guys want to head off?" Daniel asked reading the time
"I'll take you, I noticed that only O'Neill's car is here" Janet suggested standing up
"Thanks, we dropped my car off at my place on the way here so I wouldn't have to drive home." Daniel added as he picked up his things
"We'll see you to tomorrow then" Janet said grabbing her stuff
"Yeah bye Janet" Carter nodded "bye Daniel"
"Tootles" Jack laughed as they walked off. He turned to Carter and grinned "how late is your curfew" he laughed
"I thought the original plan was I spent the night at your place" she smiled
"Well that's a plan" Jack grinned and slid his arms around her "you want to put that plan in motion?" he asked kissing the back of her neck
"We can't stay up too late; we have to travel to a different planet tomorrow" she said turning to face him. he kissed her.
