"Carter! I, you…it… how did you know?" he asked clearly mystified.

"Oh no you don't sir! That present has been taunting me for a week!" she said.

"Carter!" he whined.

"No way sir! That present is mine!"

"Not if I get it first!" Jack challenged.

"Fine! I'll race you for it sir," Sam said with an "evil" smile.

"Through a mall?"

He thought for a moment.

"Sure, why not? You're on!" he said grinning back.

"Okay, I'll say 1, 2, 3, go! and then whoever gets to the Coffee Beanery first wins ok?" Sam asked.

"Ok," Jack said with another grin.

"Ok, 1, 2----"

Jack took off like a shot laughing his head off.

"Hey! Colonel! No fair!" Sam called as she ran to catch up.

They ran through a mall crowded with people so it was really hard trying to dodge everyone.

Jack rounded a bend with Sam nearly right behind him.

Jack never saw it coming.
