Chapter 2

"Thanks for the information Colonel, but that isn't why you had me beamed up?"

"No sir, for me to join his group, Maybourne says I have to marry Carter."

"What, you're joking?"

"Nope, we have to think something up fast sir."

"Ok, leave it to me; I'll see what I can do."

"Thanks sir."

"Ok, Thor can you beam me back to my office?"

Thor moved a stone and Hammond was back in his office

"Ok, thanks Thor for your help."

"That is alright O'Neill. Is there anything else I can do for you before I beam you back to where you were?"

"Yes, can you do up some sort of jamming device for listening devices; so they can't hear anything and they think that there is something wrong with the bugs?"

"Yes, I can help you with that."

Thor did something on one of the control panels and then a small device appeared.

"Here you are; you push the center button and it will glow. When that happens every signal in your house will be cut off until you push the button again. No one will here you talking."

"Thanks Thor. If it is safe, you can beam me back down again."

Thor moved a stone and Jack was back in the men's room. He put the device in his pocket and then he continued with his shopping before heading home. As soon as he arrived home, he got changed and then left to pick up Sam. He left early so he could talk to her before leaving to meet the others at the Chinese restaurant. When he arrived at Sam's house, he noticed that he was being followed by the same car he had seen earlier parked two houses down from his house.

He got out and walked up to her door and he knocked on it. Sam answered it; she had just gotten out of the show and just had her bathrobe on.

"Oh it's you, you better come in."

As soon as Jack walked in and closed the door he took the device out of his pocket and pushed the button. When it glowed he knew he could talk to her.

"Carter, we need to talk."

"No we don't! You hurt me yesterday. I just couldn't believe what you did, why did you do it, why?" Sam was yelling by this time. Jack walked up to her, grabbing her by the shoulders.

"Carter… Sam, has General Hammond spoken to you at all this afternoon?"

"No, why?" Sam looked confused.

"Shit!"

Jack let go of Sam and ran his hands through his hair.

"Sam, I need your help with something important."

"What, are you crazy?"

Jack grabbed her arms again and looked into her eyes.

"Carter…Sam I can't tell you everything, not now but I promise I will. What ever happens over the next few days, I would like you to go with whatever happens."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"All I can tell you is that it is big and black ops. You can't tell anyone, not even Daniel, Teal'c, Doc or Cassie. Ok? When it is over I'll tell you everything."

"You know that you can trust me Jack."

Jack let go of her arms and then he cupped her face with both hands, stroking her cheeks with his thumbs, still looking into her eyes. Then he leaned over and gave her a kiss; at the same time they wrapped their arms around each other and the kiss became passionate. When they broke apart, Jack leaned his forehead against hers and tried to catch his breath.

"Wow that was some kiss." Sam said,

"Yea, it sure was. Sam there is something else you should know."

"What is it Jack?" Jack had pulled out the device and showed it to Sam.

"What is it?"

"Sam, both your place and mine are bugged. They can't hear us because I have this device on; I have to turn it off in a minute, before they suspect something is wrong"

"Ok, you're under cover. Is that is why you have been acting strange this week?"

"Yea, so what ever happens, it's just between you and me, ok."

"Ok, what about General Hammond?"

"He knows what's going on"

"Ok"

"Sam sometime soon I'll have to ask you something in front of everyone and I want you to just follow my lead, ok?"

"Sure, ok"

"Now you better go and get dressed. When you come back out, pretend you are still pissed off with me. "

"Ok"

The Jack gave Sam a quick kiss before she left to go to the bedroom. She quickly got dressed and while she was doing that Jack turned off the device. A couple of minutes later Sam walked out and they started yelling at each other before they left the house.
