Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter. This one is basically about Janet giving out assignments to the guys for prom.
You'll Do As I Say.
"Ok, on these pieces of paper are your assigned tasks for prom."
She handed everyone their pieces of paper and watched as they opened them.
"Please take these tasks seriously."
Ferreti looked up from his piece of paper..
"I'm incharge of limo's. That is such a lame task."
"Well, tough. You're keeping it. Please make sure that the limo's are white or black. And make sure you get a separate one for me and Daniel and for Sam and Jack. I take it you guys are going together."
Janet looked between Teal'c, Ferreti and Kawalsky.
"We are. We don't need dates."
Teal'c raised his hand.
"I'm going to need a separate limo."
"What? Oh come on man. Me and Ferreti have already promised you that we'll shower before prom. Do we really smell that bad?"
"No. It's not you guys. It's just I have a date to take to prom with me."
Everyone looked at Teal'c. Jack laughed.
"Teal'c, you old dog. Who is it?"
"You'll see on prom night."
Sam and Janet looked at each other.
"What's with all the mystery T?"
"No mystery. Just a surprise."
Daniel coughed to draw attention to himself.
"Hi. Why do I have to find the photographer?"
Janet glared at him.
"Why? What's wrong with that job?"
Daniel sunk in his chair away from Janet's eyes.
"Nothing. I'm fine with it. Sounds pretty cool."
Janet sat up and looked around the table.
"How many people have a problem with their assigned job?"
Everyone raised the hand apart from Janet, Sam and Jack.
"Kawalsky. What's your problem?"
"You've given me nothing. I have a blank piece of paper."
Janet nudged Sam. Sam smiled at Kawalsky.
"Well, me and Janet thought you could help us with decoration. It's just you have amazing taste and we'd be lost without your guidance."
Kawalsky smiled and leaned back.
"I guess I can offer my services."
Janet looked at Daniel.
"Since you have such a problem with finding the photographer, you are now on flower arranging duty. This means you have to go to a florist and get a deal on flowers and when they arrive the day of the prom, you arrange them."
"I want the photographer."
"Too bad. You moan, you get flowers. Does anyone else have a problem?"
Ferreti and Teal'c laughed.
"We did but I guess we don't want to end up being girls, so we'll just keep our mouths shut."
Janet looked at her list.
"Daniel you're flowers. Ferreti you're limos. Kawalsky you're decoration. Teal'c you're taking care of the proms after party and Jack you're music."
Ferreti looked blankly at Jack.
"How the hell do you get music but I get limos?"
"I guess it helps to date one of the organisers."
Jack smiled at Sam which caused her to blush.
"Actually, we thought Jack might have some contacts."
"I certainly do."
"What are you two girls going to be doing?"
"We, are going to be arranging everything that you're not."
Kawalsky raised his hand.
"What's with the raising of hands? I'm not a teacher."
"Sorry. I just wanted to know who's arranging alcohol for prom and the after party?"
"My dad and Sam's dad are taking care of alcohol."
Sam looked at her watch.
"I've got to go."
"What about our shopping trip?"
"Im sorry Janet. I have an important appointment. Call me and we can rearrange the trip."
Janet looked at her friend confused.
"What sort of appointment?"
Sam looked at Jack. She had decided not to tell the rest of her friends because she didn't want to bring up all her personal problems. Jack had agreed not to tell anyone and stand by her.
"Medical."
"Oh ok."
Jack got up out of his chair and walked over to Sam.
"I'll give you a lift."
"You don't have to."
"I know but I want to."
Jack and Sam said their goodbyes and headed out of the ice cream parlour. Jack unlocked his car for Sam to get in.
"Is your dad coming to this appointment?"
"He can't. Mark's got a thing that he wants dad to be at."
Jack began to drive away.
"I'll come with you."
"You don't have to. My dad doesn't come in with me. He just sits out in the waiting room."
"I can do that. I can sit."
Sam laughed.
"Im being serious Sam. Let me go through this with you."
"Fine but you'll be bored out of your mind."
"Im good at being bored."
(Daniels Car)
"We didn't have to go. We could've stayed with the guys."
Janet shook her head.
"I didn't feel like staying."
Daniel looked at her.
"Are you ok?"
"I feel like Sam's not telling me something. I know im probably being silly but i've known Sam for ages and she's just acting different. She didn't even explain to me why she wasn't in school a few days back."
Janet looked at Daniel.
"I just want to know if there's something wrong with her."
Daniel took Janet's hand.
"If something is going on with her, she will tell you in time. You and Sam are like Ferreti and Kawalsky but a lot prettier and much more hygienic. Just be there for her."
"Yeah. Where would I be without you?"
"With someone who didn't know all the answers."
Janet smacked Daniel playfully.
"Just drive."
(Mackenzies Office)
"Let's talk about Jonas Hansen."
"Let's not."
"Sam..."
Sam rolled her eyes.
"How has life been since the kidnapping?"
Sam smiled.
"Well, at least I don't have to look over my shoulder anymore. I know this sounds mean, but im happy he's dead."
"Why is that?"
"He took part of my life. He took part of me and it's only know i've got that part back."
"How have you got that part back?"
Sam smiled.
"I met this really great guy who fortunately, never gave up on me."
(Waiting Room)
Jack looked at the receptionist. She was in her early fifties with grey hair and square, thick, black glasses. She had a pointy nose and a faint moustache. She looked a little like lunch lady Doris, just slimmer and shorter.
'God im so bored. What could they possibly be talking about?'
A large, tattooed man sat next to Jack. Jack looked at him.
'I wonder if he's killed someone.'
(Lolly's Limo Service)
A woman walked over to Ferreti and offered her hand.
"Hi. I'm Lolly Lewis."
Ferreti took of his sunglasses and shook her hand.
"Hi. I'm Louis Ferreti and I want to went 4 limos."
"What type of limo did you have in mind?"
Ferreti smiled and pointed to the one infront of him.
"This one."
The lady looked at the limo he was pointing too. It was bright pink and looked like it had just stepped out of Grease.
"We only have three pink limo's"
Ferreti's smile got brighter. 3 for the 3 couples.
"Excellent. I'll also take one black one."
"Shall we go into my office and fill out the forms?"
"Absolutely."
(Waiting Room)
Jack looked up and saw the door begin to open.
'Yes! Finally.'
Sam walked out and smiled at him.
"You're still here."
"Told you I wouldn't get bored."
Jack turned around to pick up his and Sam's coats off the chair.
"Ahh, Jonathan O'neill."
Jack froze and began to turn around slowly.
"Mackenzie. Come on Sam, let's go."
"How are you Jack?"
"Fine just fine. Don't need a shrink."
Sam looked at Jack weirdly. He was trying to usher her out of the door.
"Jack, I need to make another appointment."
"No, you don't. I'm sure you're not crazy."
Jack managed to get her out of the door. He made sure it was closed and took a deep, relieved breath.
"Jack, what the hell is up with you?"
"I don't like Mackenzie."
Jack began to walk down the steps and head to his car.
"Why? How do you two know each other?"
"Let's just say that me and Mackenzie go back a long way and leave it at that."
Sam got into the car and waited for Jack to get in.
"Since when did you need to see a shrink?"
"I didn't."
"Jack.."
"Sam! Please!"
Sam sunk back into her chair. Jack looked at her and instantly felt guilty for raising his voice to Sam. She didn't deserve that.
"My dad was constantly away and I was failing in school."
"What?"
"That's why I had to see Mackenzie."
Jack switched the engine on and began to drive off.
"How long did you have to see him for?"
"3 months but I skipped a few sessions to go fishing with my mates."
"Did it help?"
Jack shook his head.
"No. I knew he was telling my parents what went on in our sessions and in my opinion that was breaking our contract. In the end it made me worst. I began to trust people even less."
"I'm sorry for pushing you to tell me."
Jack smiled.
"I'm sorry for yelling at you."
Now it was Sam's turn to smile.
"I want a milkshake."
I hope you enjoyed this chapter as much as i enjoyed writing it.
Please R & R. Don't hold back in them. Please be honest.
