After leaving a sleeping Sam, Jack went straight to his office and switched on his computer. He sent an email to the one person he knew would be able to help. The email was sceptic but to the point;

I want to know whose idea it was to hurt Dorothy,

Scarecrow.

Once sent Jack looked up to see Jacob standing in his doorway. "Is Sam ok?" Jack asked.

"Yeah, she's still asleep, what were you doing?" Jacob walked into the room and shut the door behind him.

"Not much, you?" Jack asked slyly.

"Don't screw with me Jack I know you're up to something, you aren't going to let this rest…not without getting revenge first." He was getting angry now. "She's my daughter you know, I'm not gonna let this sit either."

Jack nodded. "I know but this is between me and them, they did this to her because of me. I need you to stay and help Sam."

Jake looked at him for a moment, he let Jack do what he had to for now but he wasn't gonna let it go. So he nodded and stood, but before leaving he turned to Jack and said; "Just remember she loves you too, and you better be coming back alive." and then left before Jack could reply.

Jack was sitting on a park bench, looking over at the lake, when someone sat down next to him.

"You took long enough."

The man chuckled. "Patience is a virtue Jack."

"You know I'm not a patient man and two weeks are very long time Harry." Jack replied angrily.

"Yeah well the Trust keeps themselves to themselves, how is Sam by the way?" Harry asked.

"She'll be fine, with a little help from her friends, now to the point." Jack answered.

"Yes, well from what I got it was Kinsey and his people that hired Shanahan to split you and Sam further apart – and for you to kill yourself – which I never expected you to do. I have all the proof you need to send said cretin vice president to Leavenworth for life." He handed Jack a floppy disk.

"Thanks Maybourne," was all Jack said before getting up from the bench and moving to the exit of the park and back to the SGC to see what evidence the ex-NID operative had offered him.

Jack walked down the corridor of the personnel quarters and stopped outside the door he was looking for. He knocked, when he heard the "come in" he opened the door and stepped in closing it behind him. She was standing in front of the mirror on the wall. She turned to see who it was, and relaxed when she saw Jack.

He walked over to her slowly, "You ok?" He asked.

"I wish people would stop asking me that but yes." She looked back at the mirror and sighed, "I should have kno-"

"Don't do this Sam it was my fault they did this to you, he made you happier than I have seen you in years." Jack cut in.

She turned to him. "I'm sorry I-"

Jack cut her off again. "Stop, don't say it," he waved his hands around "you're only human you deserve happine-"

"Yeah and my happiness nearly destroyed both of our lives," she said "and he wasn't the real person I wanted to be happy with anyway." She whispered the last part.

Jack moved and took her in his arms, she laid her head on his chest. He kissed her head and whispered; "one day Sam."
