The next morning, Tom showed up smiling. Jack and Sam's beds were still together when he walked in. Jack gave him the pissed off look, so as soon Tom saw had seen it, he realized that Sam must have told him about what had happen years ago, but he wasn't worried. He turned to Sam.

"Hey Sam, I thought I'd pop in to see how you are, since I didn't get a chance to yesterday"

"Hello sir. Colonel Tom Carson, this is Colonel Jack O'Neill, my commanding officer and second in command of this base"

"Hello, I've heard lots of stories about SG1, what with all that they've done to save this planet, it is an honour to meet you at last" they shook hands tentatively.

"Yeah, well I've heard some things about you to, although I haven't checked you file out yet, but don't worry. I will soon"

"Well if you want to know anything, don't hesitate to ask"

"How long have you known the Carters for?"

"Almost thirty years now"

"Ok, so have you been assigned to a team yet?"

"As a matter of fact, I have your team till you are back on your feet; I've heard about what happened, you sure are lucky to survive them staff blasts"

"Well I've got caring friends and work mates around who don't want to see me go; I'm like a cat with heaps of lives"

"Excuse me; I need to go somewhere"

Sam got out of bed slowly without being in much pain; she left to go to the ladies room to get away from him. Jack noticed the way Tom was looking at Sam; Jack was starting to dislike the guy even more.

"Sam sure is a beautiful woman"

"Yes she is and a helluva lot more, she's a good solider and the rest of her team mates care about her a lot, we always stick together. She has saved our asses more times than I can count"

Tom turned his head to look at Jack once Sam had walked out of the room.

"Really, well I'll looking forward to working with her and see what she's like for myself"

Jack had no other choice than to put on his black ops face so Tom wouldn't know what was going through Jack's mind.

'Yeah right, I already know what you are like you sick son of bitch is like, raping young girls, what a sick bastard you are' Jack through to himself

"Oh I already know what she's like; we have been working together for five years now"

"Really, tell me Jack, what is she really like"

"Excuse me" Jack, said in shock

"You know, off duty, Sam is beautiful is she not?"

"Yes she is, and I have got a hell of lot of respect for her and any other air force officer"

"So you two haven't?"

"No, who do you think you are coming in here and asking personal question about Major Carter! I do not want you to talk about her like that when she is not here, do I make my self clear!" Jack said with the tone of voice
that could make any airman quake in their boots.

"Sorry, gee, you didn't have to get also protective like that"

"Well you should watch what you say in future, people talk in this place and every one, I mean every one has got great respect for her"

Daniel and Teal'c walked in when they heard Jack's voice.

"Hi Jack, Tom, where's Sam?"

"Ladies room"

"Oh, so how are you feeling?"

"Peachy" both Daniel and Teal'c knew that something was up when he says that

"I'll head off now, it's nice to met you, see you around, Daniel, Teal'c" Tom left them alone.

"Ok Jack, spill it"

"Teal'c can you go and find Sam, we are going to have a talk the four of us" Teal'c left to find Sam.

"Jack what's going on, I know that look, you don't trust him?"

"You wouldn't either Daniel, trust me"

"Sure does this have something to do with Sam?"

"Yeah, listen Daniel whatever happens, when you guys go off world; don't leave her alone with him"

"Why?"

"You'll soon find out why, just do it for me, please"

"Sure"
