Chapter 4

"There is something I wanted to whisper into Jack's ear before you do."

"Ok, I'll be back in a minute."

"Ok, what word do you use to take them out of their trances?" The guy leaned over and whispered into his ear,

"Sam is chocolate lover and Jack is blue red jell-o."

"Ok, thanks" then the guy left them. Maybourne leaned over Jack and whispered in his ear,

"Jack, listen to me. I want you to make passionate love to your wife tonight at her place and in the morning I want you to leave at 0520 and go home and wait for my call."

The he turned to Sam and whispered in her ear,

"I want you to make passionate love to Jack tonight in your bed and then I want you to go to sleep at 0500 in the morning and set your alarm clock for 1200 hours."

Once he was done he said to them both,

"You can go now, the show is over, go home."

The promptly stood up and left. Maybourne left ten minutes later and the second half of the show began.

"Mom, where are Jack and Sam?"

"I don't know Cassie, Daniel any ideas?"

Daniel looked around, puzzled. When the hypnotist appeared he noticed that Jack and Sam weren't at their table. He called both Daniel and Janet up onto the stage and he asked them where their friends were. Just then the fire alarms went off and everyone had to leave the building.

They were outside looking for Jack and Sam. An hour later one of the firemen said that some people had gone home before someone had started a fire in the kitchen. Daniel tried to call Jack while Janet tried to call Sam but all they got were their answering machines, so they ended up heading home.

The next morning Jack left Sam's place at 0520 and when he got home he went to bed. At 0700, the phone rang and Maybourne brought him out of the trance. He told him that there was an envelope on his front steps. He went and got it and when he opened it there was one piece of paper with a gate address on it. This was where the secret base was, so Jack knew what he had to do.

He went back into the house and took a shower. He didn't remember anything about what had happened last night. Once he was dressed, he copied the address and a message and put it into his pocket. He put the envelope in his bag then he left his place and he drove to the base and talked to Hammond about returning to Edora.

He let him do it and Colonel Makepeace was there when he said it. Hammond got up and shook Jack's hand and at the same time Jack passed a note to him. Hammond slipped it into his pocket. Jack gave him a salute, which he returned and then General Hammond told Walter to dial Edora and then Jack was gone. Once Colonel Makepeace left the office, General Hammond took the note out and read it.

Sir,

Something happened last night at the show and I don't remember anything that happened. I was hypnotized until this morning. Can you find out what happened? I think Maybourne has double crossed us somehow. He knew that I wouldn't marry Carter. She knows that I'm undercover but I didn't tell her what it was about. Please look after her until I can find all the bad apples in the SGC. Here is the gate address where their base is; tell Thor that I'll send the signal as soon as I take care of all the rotten apples.

Jack.

General Hammond wrote down the gate address and a small note and then got a small white stone and put both of them on his desk, with the stone on the piece of paper, then pushed the button and it disappeared. He called Janet and Daniel to his office even if they were on down time. He knew that they were with Jack and Sam last night, taking Cassie out for her birthday dinner.

Sam's alarm went off, and then her phone rang. When she answered,

"Carter"

"Chocolate Lover" and then the phone went dead.

Sam came out of the trance. She looked around and wondered how she got home. She didn't remember anything from last night. Fortunately she had three days of down time, so it didn't matter that she had slept so late. She did some shopping and housework, worked in her garden and just relaxed. She found herself thinking about Jack and the kiss he gave her and about what he had said to her.

Janet and Daniel arrived at the General's office. Thor had also given him a device for jamming, which only worked in his office. They talked about what had happened at the show the night before. Daniel had brought in the videotape that Cassie had taken of the show, since he and Janet couldn't remember anything.

They watched what had happened; Daniel and Janet were blushing when they saw what had happened to them. When it came to the wedding part and the man playing the "Minister" showed his face, General Hammond's eyes widened. He was shocked and by the end of the tape they just couldn't believe what had happened and they talked for a moment about the events. He dismissed them but asked for several copies of the tape and told them not to tell anyone about what they now knew. Both Daniel and Janet were confused but they followed orders.

General Hammond was on the phone to the President almost immediately after they left his office, to give him an update on the status of the undercover operation and he told him about Jack's note. He went over the events of the night before. The President said that he would talk to the Joint Chiefs about what had happened and he would get back to him. General Hammond had recognized the man from the video tape; he was the Minister who had performed his daughter's wedding five years before and if those paper's were real and not fake, Maybourne was in a lot of trouble.
