I just wanted to say thank you for all the rewiews. I know I left it in a cruel place and I don't tihnk you'll be very happy with me after this part either but I promise there is one more part, I promise I'll do my best to post the next part soon.
Author Note: Here is the 2nd part of the story, Jack's side now.
Sitting in my office, trying to work my way through SG 8's latest mineral survey of P3J-906, I looked around for something, anything to distract me. I really couldn't leave in the middle of reading a report, General's don't usually do that, but if an excuse came across my desk I wasn't going to ignore it. There was only so much information about rocks that I could handle in one day and I'd already had a briefing with Daniel this morning about the rocks, sorry artefacts, which he and SG 1 had found on their last mission. Seeing and hearing nothing I decided that no one was going to save me so I looked back at the report in my hands.
As I looked down I saw something flashing in the corner of my computer monitor. Yay! Email! It might only be from the Pentagon but it had to be more interesting than rocks. I quickly discarded the report and opened the message.
Definitely more interesting than rocks, it was from Carter.
General,
Daniel asked me to listen to this. See what you think to it. Really listen to the last verse.
Sam
I clicked on the attachment and stared at the word Sam. She never signed off her emails to me like that, it was always Carter. No, no, don't read too much into it. She probably didn't mean to.
While I was thinking all of this the song began.
Hmmm, not Sam's usual taste but then again, it was via Daniel. Ok, need to stop thinking and just listen. So I did.
My feelings at the beginning of the song were nothing like those I felt now. Was she saying what I thought she was saying? Did she want to take it out of the room? Was she as fed up as I was waiting for fate to give us our chance? There was only one way to find out.
Somewhere only we know? Hmmm…where could that be?
There wasn't anywhere like that, not that I could think of anyway. It would have been too much of a temptation if they had, at least for him. Where could she mean?
I sat and thought. Only one place came to mind. The place where all this denying began, the isolation room. I stood and walked out of my office, thinking of nothing but what might await me.
Not wanting to embarrass myself by walking into an isolation room and finding it empty, I entered the observation room above. There she was pacing around the round, nervous. Not something I was used to seeing in her. I stood for a moment, just watching her. God she was so beautiful. Why she wanted me I would never know. Taking a deep breath I left the observation deck and walk to face her.
She was facing the other way when I reached the door. Once again, I stood and watched, knowing that one more step would alert her to my presence. I would be beyond the point of no return. Then nothing would ever be the same again. Taking another deep breath, I walked forwards. She heard me and turned around…
I know that's really cruel but there is a third and final part to come, set a few months after the events of the first two parts. Please review because, as I said before, this is not the best thing I have written and would like to see what other people think to it. Thanks.
