They stood up and headed back into the mountain to find out what had been happening. They went into Sam's lab, where the bomb was. The scientist's there were trying to fix the timer on it.

"Major Carter, it is good to have you back. We are trying to fix the timer on this bomb"

"Stop what you are doing, we are dismantling the bomb, Dr. Lee"

"What, why?"

"Orders, that is all you need to know"

"We shall see about that. I'll give General Bauer a call about this"

"How long have you been in here?"

"Since Monday morning, why?"

"General Hammond is back in charge and he wants this dismantled, understand?"

"I heard that he had retired?"

"Well, he's back" Jack said, with a grin on his face

"So, I might as well make a start until it is time for the debriefing." Sam said,

Then she started working on dismantling the bomb. Jack sat on a stool near by, watching her work like he usually did when Sam was trying to work out an alien device.

Sam was working on it for half an hour, when Jack got up from the stool and walked over to where Sam was and took what she had in her hand out and put it on the bench. Sam turned around, looking at him.

"Jack, what did you do that for?"

"It's time to go Sam. It will still be here when you get back, come on"

"Ok, let's go. Dr Lee, leave everything where it is. I'll take care of it when I return"

"Yes Major"

Jack and Sam left the lab and headed to the briefing room. When they arrived there, they saw Daniel, Teal'c, Jacob and Major Davis there.

"What's going on?" Jack asked, as they took their seats. Then Hammond showed up. Once every one was seated, he began.

"Colonel O'Neill, Major Carter, I'm pleased that you are still here. Major Davis was able to identify the men and women who were working with Senator Kinsey when you were kidnapped."

"That's good news, isn't it"

"Yes it is. With the help of Agent Barrett, we were able to identify them all. Add to that what was on the disks and it was more than enough evidence to put them out of commission for a long time"

"That's good news, but there is something else, what is it?"

"Senator Kinsey still want you two Court Martialed" Davis said.

"When is the date and where?"

"It will be held here on the base tomorrow"

"That was fast"

"I'm sorry but you two will be confined to the VIP quarters until this mess is sorted out"

"Sir, I still have to finish dismantling the bomb"

"Ok, you can carry on with that. There will be JAG lawyers showing up in four hours, to talk to you both, as well as with Dr Fraser and Dr Jackson here"

"Who is going to be at the Court Martial, sir?"

"All of us, including Dr Fraser. Senator Kinsey is also going to be here"

"What?" both Jack and Sam said at the same time. Sam could see that Jack was getting angry.

"Jack" He turned to look at Sam

"Jack, do you trust me?"

"Of course I do Sam, I trust you with my life" He held onto her hand

"Jack, everything is going to be fine. He has nothing on us. Just remember one thing, he is the one who will end up with egg on his face, not us"

"Now that I would like to see" they smiled at each other, and squeezed one another's hands, then turned back to the other's.

"Sam, Jack? We do have some good news. Here look at these"

Daniel slid a big yellow envelope at them. They let go of each other's hands and then Jack opened it up and pulled out their wedding photos.

"Daniel has any one seen these yet?"

"Nope"

They smiled when they saw them and then they passed them around the table, so every one else there could see them. Jacob saw the first one, it was of Jack and Sam in one another's arms, smiling for the camera like a happy couple.

"Sam, you look beautiful in that dress"

"Thanks Dad"

Once everyone saw the photos, there were smiles all around the table.

"Sir, when this mess is over, Sam and I want to renew our vows in front of family and friends"

"I'm sure we can arrange something. For now, all you can do is wait and talk to the JAG lawyers when they get here"

"Sir, do they have clearance?" Sam asked,

"Yes, they do. So do the three judges in this case"

"So Kinsey hasn't been arrested yet?" Jack asked

"Not until we have all the information. What we need to do is find some way of getting him to tell the truth" Davis said.

"You mean spill the beans, so to speak" Daniel said

"Yes"

"I'm sure we can find a way to get him to talk" Daniel said.

"Until the JAG lawyers arrive, you are all dismissed" they stood up and left the briefing room.
