Never Push the Button
Chapter 5
General Hammond had to keep himself from exploding at Jack for not standing up or saluting him. But he had to remind himself that this wasn't Colonel Jack O'Neill. This was 21 year old Jack, the College Student, who hadn't had the military training that the Jack that he knew had. He didn't really know what to say, so he turned to Dr. Janet Frasier beside him. "What should we do?"
Janet took in a deep breath. "All right, Jack, Sam, you are in a Classified Military Compound, where you both work, and because of an alien device, you have been reverted from your adult selves, to your 'prime.'"
Jack kind of zoned out while this woman was trying to explain that he was infact a middleaged guy. Yeah Right. He thought. Like I would want to go back to being 50! What he wanted to do was find a way to go out with the knockout sitting beside him. She was actually paying attention, so he figured that he could ask her later. "Look, General, as fasinating as this all is, no offense lady, but Can we get out of here. I mean, I promised this lady a drink, and I intend to."
At first Hammond stood their shocked. Yes, grown up Jack was a pain in the ass, but he was never this insibordinate. "You are not going anywhere. Where did you learn your manners?"
"Just gifted I guess."
