A/N: Okay i just got back into town yesterday and it's been crazy! We just got the worst flooding since like 1936! Well, I had car trouble and my gma got kinda sick while I was in CT so I only got two chapters written, posting will probably be fairly sporadic for a while. Sorry. Thank you to all that are reading! i love the reviews.
"Daniel," Jack announced, heading into the younger man's office. "How's Carter?" He leaned against the desk, fiddling with one of Daniel's "rocks."
"Pretty depressed, Jack. Have you even been by to see her since you've been back?" Daniel stopped what he was doing and stared at his older friend.
"Why would she want me to stop by, I'm not her CO anymore." Jack shrugged his feigned indifference.
"No, you're not. But you are her friend."
Jack shifted uncomfortably from foot to foot. "Hammond wants us to start the training session in an hour. I want you to do roll call at exactly 1300 whether I'm there yet or not, ok?" He'd successfully changed the subject and knew Daniel could tell he'd done it on purpose. Jack was still trying to get used to this thing with Sam not being under his command. It was confusing.
"Yeah, don't worry about it Jack." He knew the purpose of Jack's method with the recruits. The man never wanted to see who they were the first few weeks of training. Though he wouldn't admit it, Daniel knew Jack had known any of the military parents and didn't want any personal influence in his evaluations.
"Great. I'm gonna grab a bite to eat. See you in an hour."
