A/N: Okay this will be it until I get home so thank you!
Jack knocked on the front door of Sam's small, one story house. It was in a nice neighborhood, he noticed. He'd been there before but had never really taken the time to look around.
Not hearing an answer and worried for her well being, Jack pulled out his keys and used the spare she had given him. As military they had all known that the threat of one of them getting killed in the field was very real, so they all had keys to each other's houses in case something ever happened to them.
The house was eerily dark. His footsteps echoed off the clay tile in the entryway. Not a light was on in the entire house. This was so unlike Sam. He made his way through the house, checking the rooms to see if he could find her. There was no sign of Sam anywhere.
He made his way to the Master Bedroom; maybe she was just exhausted and fell asleep. He checked the bathroom first, noticing her toiletry bag was missing. He shook his head sadly and moved into the bedroom to see if he could find her in the mess that was covering the bed. Nobody was there. It was unlike Sam to leave her house in a mess or her bed unmade. Everything was always so neat and clean when he had seen it.
He wildly threw the comforter off the bed and the pillows against the wall. He collapsed back onto the soft bed and closed his eyes. Was it his fault she had run off? His eye caught the disheveled state the closet was in. The clothes were strewn across the doors and haphazardly falling off the hangers. He stood to investigate. There was an indentation in the carpet where her suitcase had rested and a dust mark on the wall.
It was settled now. Sam was gone, and she had left intentionally. It seemed like she had left in a hurry and with a purpose. He regretted what he had to do now. It started him shaking. He had thought yesterday was a breakthrough in their relationship, but that they would be able to keep it a secret for a while, maybe he could even retire, before they ever had to let it out. He was certain the change in their relationship was what had caused her to run. In part, it was, but not how he thought.
