Hammond picked up the phone to talk to the joint chief of staff to let him know what had happened and also to find out which JAG lawyers had got clearance. When Daniel, Jack and Janet arrived back in the infirmary, Daniel wheeled Jack to Sam's side of the bed, and then left them alone while he went to talk to Janet. Jack held one of her hands in to his, looking at her pale face.

"Janet, how are you coping?"

"I just can't believe what has happened to Sam, he has known her most of her life and now this, why?"

"Janet, Sam told Jack, Teal'c and me about something that happened, a long time ago, and it is to do with Colonel Carson"

"How bad?"

"Well if Jack wasn't in the wheel chair and Jacob found out; he wouldn't stand a chance against them, even Teal'c wasn't happy about it when she told us"

"That bad?"

"Yes, you heard what Jack said before; I have never seen him so angry."

"I think none of us had Daniel" she replied. Walter was at the door

"Dr Jackson, Dr Fraser, I just found out about Major Carter, how is she?"

"She going to be sore for a while, how did you find out?"

"The grape vine ma'am"

"What else did the grape vine say?"

"That Colonel Carson is being charge with assault, attempted rape and attempted murder, ma'am"

"What?" Daniel said in shock.

"You didn't know sir?"

"No, god whatever happened to 'don't let Jack know about this', he's got enough problems to worry about"

"I'll spread the word, doctor"

"Thanks, any word from the tok'ra?"

"Nothing I'm afraid; I'd hate to be in Colonel Carson shoes when General Carter finds out about his daughter"

"We've got an idea what might happen, thanks"

"I better go, bye" He left them alone.

"Oh god, well at least the base knows about what happened to Sam"

Then she thought about what Daniel had said, and what Walter just said. She looked at Daniel in shock.

"Oh my god, Sam was raped, wasn't she?" Daniel quickly closed the door, before turning back to Janet.

"Daniel I'm right, aren't I?"

"Yes, but don't tell any one about it"

"When?"

"Not long after her mother's death"

"Oh god, she was what, fourteen, fifteen?"

Janet went a bit pale, and covered her face with her hands. Daniel walked around the desk and put his hand on her shoulder.

"She told me one time that she had a bad year when her mother died, but didn't say what it was; now I know"
