Chapter 7
Sam arrived at the SGC on Monday morning and proceeded to the infirmary as instructed by Janet, just to go over the final details of everything that she had discussed with Janet, Cassie, Daniel and Teal'c the previous four days.
One thing she was sure of was that the performance would go without a hitch; it was just a question of wither it would be good or not.
She stepped into the elevator after changing into her uniform, barely aware of the other occupant as she was deep in her thoughts.
"Somethin' on your mind, Carter?"
Jack was a little worried as to what exactly was troubling Sam, normally she would have greeted him by now and started spouting techno babble or humming (at this thought he felt a slight shiver go down his spine) or something by this point.
She almost jumped at the sound of his voice, taking a millisecond or so to get over her shock before answering.
"Um yeah," she replied, "Sorry, Sir."
"Nah don't worry about it. So how's the singing practice going on?" he replied trying desperately to have a casual outward appearance but Sam could tell otherwise.
He received no reply instead Sam looked directly at him; staring him down to get him to ask the question he really wanted to.
He turned and looked her in the eye.
Their gazes were locked right up until the elevator doors sprung open to reveal a technician with his arms full of reports.
They looked at him, he looked at them, then they looked at each other, then they looked at him again.
"I'll catch the next one." He said as the elevator made a noise and the doors began to close.
"So." Said Sam turning to her CO once again.
"So."
And the staring began again but not two floors later Jack caved.
"Alright ok," he said slightly annoyed as she smirked slightly, "What are you singing?" he asked almost pleadingly.
"I'm not telling."
"Carter!"
"I'm not telling!" she said smiling.
"Please!"
"You'll have to wait like everyone else." She replied with an air of superiority.
"Are you any good?" he asked smirking getting back at her for staring him down.
She feigned hurt and shock, just as the doors opened then she stepped out and turned smiling towards the only occupant of the elevator and finally replied.
"Wouldn't you like to know?"
She grinned at he look of shock on his face as it disappeared behind two metal doors.
Then she turned to make her way to the infirmary only to find that ol' Doc Frasier had been standing there the whole time.
"Morning?" Sam offered innocently as she could.
