Chapter 8

Daniel and Janet stood almost cowering before the military officers of SG-1, each very aware of the open door and the route to safety standing invitingly behind them. They glanced at each other then back to their best friends; the eyes of whom where questioning as well as confused.

In truth Daniel and Janet where rather embarrassed given the fact that they where the ones who had been speculating, as well as the one's being speculated about.

But in Daniel's case embarrassment was soon replaced by fear with the colonel's next words.

'And where the hell are you crutches!' He shouted. The rest of the occupants of the room sure that even if Thor was sitting happily in his home world eating his little yellow square that he would be able to hear the man's shout.

'Ehh,' said Daniel desperately trying to find a way out of this one, 'Janet… she… but really Teal'c … and then …ta-da.' He finished almost question and most definitely nervous, shiftily placing himself slightly behind the petite doctor.

Sam could see that Jack was about to shout once again and stepped in to save her eardrums.

'Daniel,' she said with a too-sweet and soft tone, catching her commanding officers gaze for a moment, then perusing with her lulling of her suspects, 'Why don't you start from the beginning, and please speak in whole sentences.'

'Eh, right.' He said hesitantly, with a trademark 'please don't kill me' look, usually reserved for gou'ald or Jack when he was stuck in confined spaces.

'It sorta started this morning, I heard you in the truck, and then the cafeteria, then the locker room and I don't think you should be doing this. None of us do.' He rattled off quickly trying to get it over and done with, but Jack and Sam intervened.

'Heard what?'

'None of whom?'

Daniel winced and replied. 'Me, Teal'c and Janet, I mean we all know about this thing you got going between you but there are rules and stuff and you just shouldn't be doing this!'

Sam and Jack shared a quick look, and then Jack spoke;

'What's the problem?' he said nonchalantly Sam adopting and equally indifferent stance.

'You're breaking the rules!' said Janet.

'So,' Jack continued, 'the rule we're breaking really isn't that important, and it's not like we do it that often it's just two or three times when we're at work, and when we're not at work it's no one else business!'

'But how is it affecting you?' said Daniel concerned.

'Well it's not doing me any harm,' said Sam almost grinning, 'its great fun!'

'Oh sure its fun but what if you get caught?' spoke Janet shocked at the way they where behaving as well as what they thought of breaking the rules and regulations they both swore to uphold, 'I mean Daniel managed to hear you in the car this morning!'

'It's my car and none of your business anyway!' shouted Jack defending his decisions, Sam leaning forward towards the doctors backing up her CO.

'It is the business of this entire base when the some of the top military officers under this mountain are breaking the frat rules, and on base no less.' shouted Janet.

'WHA T?'
