Jack headed toward Sam's lab, confident that that was where she had retreated to. He even had stopped by the commissary where he had picked up blue jello as a peace offering. Though, now that he thought about it, the jello could be less than appetizing for her which could mean bad things for him for torturing her with blue jello…

Siler walked past him. "Hi, sir."

"Siler! How are you?"

The sergeant turned to him, slightly surprised. "I'm fine, sir."

Jack handed him the jello. "Enjoy!"

Siler gave him a very confused look as he accepted the cup. He accepted it as one would accept forbidden fruit because everyone knew that all blue jello was Major Carter's. Walter had made the mistake once of taking the last cup of blue jello from the commissary once. It hadn't been good…

"Thank you, sir."

Jack walked up to the blast door and swiped his access code. It didn't work. Crap! He thought. She had locked him out of the system…she wasn't happy. "Hey, Carter!"

He received no answer, but suddenly, the blast door opened to reveal Dr. Lee in the lab. "Colonel O'Neill!"

"Where's Carter?" Jack asked.

"Uh…I don't think she's here today. Is there something that I can help you with?"

"Well, you could start with why you're in Carter's lab."

"Uh…you see, we were working on…some interplanetary calculations that were really mystifying and well, we had arranged for me to meet her here to discuss the ramifications of the data in the search matrices that surrounded our research…"

"In other words, you aren't supposed to be here- you're looking something up in her files, you're going to put everything back the way you left it and you don't want me to tell her that I caught you in here…" He supplied.

Lee just looked at him. "That obvious, huh?"

"Let's just say…you locked me out of Carter's lab. That's never a good sign."

The scientist bit his lip. "You aren't going to say anything are you?"

"That depends on how good of a mood I find her in…" Jack said.

Dr. Lee gulped. "Well, I think we can continue our research without this…important piece of data."

"Bye!" Jack said as the scientist practically sprinted out of the room.

Then, he looked around the lab. Sure enough, Carter wasn't there. He took a deep breath and headed toward Teal'c's room. When he got there, he knocked twice on the door.

"You may enter, O'Neill."

He opened the door to find Teal'c in a state of meditation. "How'd you know it was me?"

"You have a certain knock."

"Right." He took a deep breath. "You seen Carter?"

"I have not."

"Okay…well, have fun doing…whatever it is you're…doing."

"I am meditating."

"Well, I'm gonna go find Carter."

"For what purpose?"

"Uh, we need to…talk. I…said some things that…upset her."

"In that case, I believe you will find Major Carter with Doctor Fraiser."

"Thanks, T."

"You are welcome."

Jack hurried toward the infirmary where he found Janet busy with SG-3's minor injuries. He pulled one of the nurses aside. "Have you seen Major Carter recently?"

She shook her head. As she did so, Janet looked up and noticed Jack's presence in the infirmary. "Nurse." One of the nurses took over bandaging one of the marine's hands while Janet walked over to Jack.

"Hey! You seen Carter?"

She nodded. "She stopped in before heading up to the surface."

"Any idea where she went?"

"I'm sorry."

Jack nodded his thanks as he turned to leave.

"She seemed very upset." Janet said, before he left.

He turned. "As in angry or as in depressed?"

"She was sobbing. I've never seen her cry that much on the base."

Jack winced. "Thanks."

He went up to the surface to find her Volvo gone. He sighed. Maybe she had just gone home…

As he got into his truck, he remembered that Sam liked daisies, and decided that he didn't have to go into battle unarmed. Thankfully, there was a florist on the way, and he picked up a bouquet of daisies in a pretty vase and headed over to her house. He hoped that she was there…he didn't know where else to look for her.
