Jim, Blair, and Simon had spent the rest of the night at the station filling out paperwork and trying to get Sie's statement. The man wouldn't talk and finally they had to give up trying until later. At last everything was finished and they gathered their things to leave for some rest. Simon had stepped into his office to grab a cigar when a group of people came into the bull pen.
"We're looking for Captain Banks, we would appreciate if we could talk to him right away," the oldest man in the group addressed the night secretary. Jim overhearing the man went to intercept the group as Blair went to warn Simon. "May I help you?" Jim asked stepping in front of the group blocking the path to Simon's office. "No," Jack answered and tried to go around Jim, but again Jim blocked the path. "Are you sure?" he asked as a bigger man in the group stepped forward. He was massive but Jim thought he looked a little odd with his hat pulled low. He smelled different too, like the man they had arrested earlier. "Ellison!" came a shout from behind him and he turned to see Simon sticking his head out the office door. "My office now, and bring them with you," looking at the group before he retreated back to his desk. Jim turned on his heel and heard the group follow him as they all went into Simon's office.
"I just got a call for a very tired mayor," Simon started when they had all entered and Blair had closed the door. "Apparently we had jurisdiction over Lieutenant Sie, but now he's theirs and the case too," Simon gestured at the group. Jim couldn't believe it, the military was so fast now. He remembered from his experience it had to be very important for them to act so quickly. "We would still like your cooperation," said the only female in the group. She was tall, with short blonde hair, was in good shape, and seemed to be very intelligent. "Of course" Simon answered in response. "You already know who I am so let me introduce you to the two arresting officers. Detective James Ellison and his partner Blair Sandburg." One of the men looked over at Sandburg with a jerk. "Sandy is it really you?" the man pushed his glasses up his slender nose for a closer inspection. "It's me Daniel, Daniel Jackson." Blair looked him over once and broke out in a wide smile before both men met in a hug. "Daniel it's been ages, I didn't think I'd see you again." They broke apart and shook hands both gleaming like kids in a candy shop. "Well you have a head start at working together, now get out of my office and go home," Simon interrupted the reunion. They all looked at him as he silently pointed to the clock which now read 4:45 A.M. They all left the office and got into the elevator.
"I need to see Lieutenant Sie, he has some medication he needs, the woman said as she pulled a prescription bottle from her purse. "We'll take you," Blair piped up looking over at his partner. Jim just handed him a set of keys. Simon got off on the main floor and after saying good night they headed down one more level to the lock up. "Who is Sie sharing a cell with?" the older man from the group asked. "Who are you again?" Jim asked not answering the question he had been asked. "Jack O'Niel," the man responded and the others introduced themselves as Samantha Carter and Teal'c, Daniel having given his name earlier. As they got off the elevator Jim showed his pass to the guard before they went to the end of the hall where Sie's cell was. Blair unlocked the door but Teal'c stopped them from going in. "It's better if I talk to him first," as he took the pills and went in. Blair watch Jim who seemed to be concentrating while the others stood waiting patiently. Daniel noticed as the detective's brows furrowed as he listened to something the others couldn't hear. Teal'c emerged minutes later with Sie. "I think you can take him out of isolation now until morning when he can post bail," Jack looked Sie over. Jim nodded and put him a cell with a local drunk that wouldn't give him any trouble.
"Do you have a place to stay?" Blair asked Daniel as they got back in the elevator. All eyes turned to Jack as he thought for a minute. "We'll find a place close by, a hotel or something that's still open." Blair suddenly looked like he was going to explode with excitement, "stay with us." Jim turned a heavy gaze on him immediately, "chief." Blair put on his best puppy face "please!" he smiled. Jim shook is head, "whatever, if they don't mind sleeping on cots and the couch." Daniel turned to Jack who looked annoyed as Daniel tried the same tactic. "We'd be grateful," Samantha made the decision. Blair and Daniel looked overjoyed as they made their way through the garage. "Just follow us, I can't wait, there is so much catching up to do," Blair said as they went to their cars. There would be slight morning rush hour traffic but they would be at the loft in no time.
