Sam knew Janet was home yet she still chose to let herself in, carefully picking the lock then entering the code for the alarm, Sam quietly made her way into her friends home. She was practically standing next to Janet, who was relaxing on the sofa, the throw from the back of the sofa covering her lap, seemingly engrossed in the television.

"I'm sorry too."

"Jesus Sam!" Janet screeched as she practically fell off the sofa.

"I'm sorry I didn't say anything. I'm sorry I let you leave this morning so upset." Sam was now kneeling in front of the sofa. "I'm sorry I didn't come sooner."

"Sam you have no reason to apologize! I'm the one. . ."

"No! Janet it's human nature to be curious. How many times have I gotten the same way over the technology I come across?"

"But those are things, they aren't your best friend. You didn't tor. . ."

"Janet please. I understand, I'm a medical miracle, I'd be disappointed if you weren't curious."

"What they did to you. . ."

"Was wrong, but it showed you my true limits. After Jolinar you preformed test after test to see what happened to me so you could better understand and treat me as your patient. I didn't have to let you, but I trust you. I knew you would never do anything to hurt me. I know you would never hurt me.

"When you first told me I was crushed, devastated that you could feel that way. But then I saw how upset you were and that started me thinking. Before Manticore grabbed me I was thinking about suggesting some experiments. Not only so you would have a better idea how to treat me but so that I could push myself, to see what my limits really were. Manticore just did it the hard way."

"That doesn't excuse. . ."

"Yes it does." Sam cut in, dominating the conversation. "Please believe me when I tell you, you didn't do anything wrong. I trust you with my life and if you wanted to break out your little black bag right here, right now, and start poking me I'd be fine with that, as long as I get my friend back. As long as you tell me you don't hate me, and that you aren't afraid of me."

Sam took Janet's hand between her two hands, carefully examining the slight discoloration with disgust.

"I deserved it." Janet gently switched their hands positions so that she was now holding Sam's hands in her own. "I was being a heartless bitch. I was so full of self loathing that I didn't realize-I just wanted to get in then out-I was so afraid you'd somehow know, that you would hate me."

"I'm not sure I could ever hate you Janet. I've never let myself get as close to another person as I have with you. Not since my mom died anyway."

"Oh Sam." Janet leaned forward and embraced her friend. "We're okay then?"

"Yea." Sam pulled back and with a mischievous smile hopped up on the sofa next to Janet, snatched the remote, and started channel surfing.

"Hey! I was watching that!" Janet tried to grab the remote but Sam easily kept it well out of reach.

"A baby story? Please Janet. I know you're a doctor and everything but I don't believe for a minute you would voluntarily watch that!"

"Giving birth is a wonderful thing." Janet persisted, still trying to get the remote.

"Oh hey I hear this show's pretty good." Sam tossed the remote onto the overstuffed chair farthest from Janet and was about to suggest a snack when someone pounded on the door.

"I wonder who that could be." Janet shrugged out from under the throw and went to open the door. "Colonel! What are you doing here this late?"

"I wonder who that could be." Janet shrugged out from under the throw and went to open the door. "Colonel! What are you doing here this late?"

"Carters gone! We're getting ready to go back to. . ."

"Colonel wait." Janet tried to cut in.

"We thought you'd want to go with us."

"Colonel!"

"Damn it Carter don't interrupt!" Jack's jaw dropped, he shoved past Janet and moved over to Sam. "You better have a damn good explanation! Half the base is out looking for you!"

"Sir it's not the first time someone's left the infirmary."

"Sam! You didn't!" Janet turned to her friend as Jack pulled out his cell.

"General, yes I've got her." Jack spoke into the phone. "No sir. Yes sir. Yes, we'll be right in. Yes sir, at Fraiser's place. Do you want Fraiser. . .no, alright."

"You know I'm fine Janet. Warner was being unreasonable!"

"Unreasonable or not Carter, you're AWOL. Let's go."

"Sir, how many times. . ."

"I never left the base, and I didn't just get back from being kidnapped! Hammond was just about to call the president to get permission o retrieve you again."

"What? Sir I. . ."

"You are coming with me and you'll be lucky if you avoid the brig!" Jack yelled. The shock on Sam's face made him pause. "Damn it Sam, we thought they got you again. We've been worried sick!"

"I. . .I didn't think. . .I'm sorry sir."

"Yea well, I'm sure you will be. Come on. The general's waiting.

"Hold the elevator!" Janet yelled.

"Doc." Jack greeted her when she entered the elevator, slightly out of breath.

"Colonel. How'd things go last night?"

"Oh, Hammond really let into her, even through in a guilt trip or two."

"That bad?"

"Not a pretty picture."

"He didn't really throw her in the brig did he?"

"No. She should be resting-not so comfortably-in your infirmary," Jack waited until he heard Janet's sigh of relief before he continued, "under armed guard."

"Please tell me your joking."

"Nope. Hammond wanted her to understand just how much trouble she was in. Something about the principle of the matter, or something."

"She's not going to be happy."

"Nope." Jack held up the brown bag he'd been carrying. "That's what this is for."

"Colonel you know I don't approve of you giving my patients coffee."

"Don't worry Doc, I got your favorite too."

Any comment Janet would have made was cut off when they entered Sam's room to find two SF's with their weapons drawn and aimed at Sam's sleeping form.
