CH 69
Twenty minutes later, they arrived at Peterson guard gate; they all show the guy their ID
"Sorry the base is close"
"What the reason Sargent" sam asked from the back seat
"Don't know ma'am" Sam open the door and got out
"Miss what are you doing"
"Make a phone call" she walk into the guard hut and pick up the phone and push three numbers
"Yes this is Samantha Carter… oh, what the situations… where… can you let me through…ok" then she passes the phone to the Sargent
"Colonel want a word with you" he took the phone and spoke to the colonel while Sam got back in the car
"Sam what is it?"
"Someone close bye is trigger happy, they been trying to contact me in the last hour" when the Sargent hung up he open the gates for them
"Go to the main building"
"Thanks" Mark said then they drive to the building. When they got there, they got out and walk inside with two arm personal stop them
"I'm Samantha Carter"
"Let them through" the colonel said they step back and Sam walk over to the colonel
"Ok show me where and when the shooting started"
"This way" they walk down to where the briefing room is and walk into see other officers there talking over each other, they stop and turn when Sam did an earpiercing whistle
"Good, now, I'm going to ask questions and all I want in answers ok"
"Who are you, how did you get in here?"
"I'm Samantha Carter, now shall we start from the beginning"
She walked into the room while Mark and Ann watch and listen to what is going on for the next five minutes. They saw Sam looking at a map of the base area after they answered her questions. She looked up at them all
"Ok this is where the sniper would be" she pointed on the map
"Why there?"
"Two reason one it covers this area of the base" she shows on the map
"And second cause of the bushes, you can't see him or her, so this is what we are going to do, first we are going to need a jeep and two personal"
"Why"
"Well for one there is a road here" she pointed to the map
"So the sniper could see the jeep going pass but won't have time to line the gun up and fired it, he will see two personal driving along the road here but there are going to be three in the jeep" she pointed
"Then he or she would see them driving away here" she point
"But he will see three people, not two?"
"Ah, I knew you going to say that" she said smiling
"I'm going to hitch a ride on the back of the jeep so when the jeep past this area here. I'll jump off the back and work my way up to where the sniper is and take the person out then wait for my signal then send the guys back to get him or her"
"How would we know your signal?"
"My compact mirror" she said smiling
"Ok let's get to work, sounds crazy"
"I know, soon as this person is dealt with sooner as I can get in the air"
"Ok, let go people"
Then they went to get everything sorted out while Sam went and got change. When she was change and her hair was up and was wearing a black benny she walked out to where two volunteers are that is next to the jeep.
"Sam the media here, they found out about the shooting"
"Ok, thanks, shall we" the two guys got into the jeep and started it up. Sam turned to Mark
"Here look after these till I return" she pass him her two rings
"Be Careful Sam"
"I will mark"
Then she put her gloves on and got on the back and crouch down and gave the colonel the nod
"Go"
Then they drive to another set of gates and they drive to where the off road is, then they turn onto the road till Sam heard
"When your read" knowing that they were close to the blind spot
"Now"
She heard, then she jumps off and rolled on the ground then she made it to the trees. She watches the jeep go around the corner and was gone. Sam quickly and quietly work her way up the hill side and stop, she listen then she heard the first shot know it was a distraction, she work her way up towards the sniper.
When she was close she lifted herself off the ground by a centimetre and move toward the sniper until she could see the guy; he was wearing green camouflage clothing. When she was right behind him she put herself off the ground and said
"You're under a rest"
He quickly turned around with the gun only to have it kick out of his hands, then he went to get it only to have Sam kick it up in the tree. When he saw what she did he got his feet and went to attack her only to end on his back so he got up and pulled out a knife and tried to stab her. Only to have she grabbed his wrist and twisted it till he dropped it then he wrapped his free arm around her neck
"I got you now"
"That what you think"
"What you're a" then Sam back head into the guy face, he let go so she quickly turn around to see him holding his nose
"You broke my nose"
"As I said before your under a rest, so what will it be" then she showed him the cuffs
"The easy way or the hard way" then he went to karate kick Sam only for her to grab his leg
"I see you want the hard way"
When she twisted it till he was on the ground then she quickly move and cuff his hands behind his back while he was winded. Then she got her mirror out and step through the bush and gave the base her signal which keeping and eye on the guy then she turned to see the signal her back. She then walk back over and sat on the ground
"Who are you" Sam just look at him
"Why are you shooting the personal here?"
"My son wanted to join the airforce, he was decline"
"Why, did he say?"
"Some thing about rules"
"There has to be more than that"
"That what he said" then they heard jeeps showing up and voices
"Gee those guys make enough noise to waken the dead" She said then stood up
"Sam where are you?"
"Over here" then they walk over to her
"Here you sniper"
"Where the gun" Sam walk over to the tree and climb up it and got the gun, she check it and turn the safety on before climbing back down again and passing it to the colonel
"The knife over there" she guested with her head
"Thanks, take him away" two guys pick the guy up and took him back down to where the jeeps are.
"Great work Sam"
"Thanks and I think you guys should get rid of these and have patrols in the area, you never know it might happen again"
"Good point, come on let's head back"
They walked back to the jeep and got back in, then they were on their way back to the base. Sam told the colonel about why the guy wasn't happy. When they return, the media was there.
So they had to go around the back way to avoid the media but one camera crew was waiting and when Sam and the other showed up, they film them all getting out.
When they got out and walked inside, Sam turned around and crouches down and works her way back to the jeep
"Sam"
"Stay in there, there a camera crew taping us"
She works her way under one of the jeeps and saw the crew, then she concentrates on the camera, since the crew was leaving. She made it pop open and the tap falling out and landed in the snow, then she cover the tape up with snow and close the camera again.
When they were gone she moved from under the jeep and she made the tape slide towards her from under the snow till it was at her feet. Then she picks it up and look at it, she made the ribbon inside the tape dry up and break into small pieces, then she throw it in the rubbish bin when she walks in side.
She walked down to the briefing room and walked in. they all thank her for what she did and let her know that she could go out and fly now the threat was taken care of. So she walk back out of the room and walk out side to where an airmen was waiting for her in the jeep, he took her to where her plane is. She thanks him when she got out and walk over and smile when she saw Mark they're waiting for her.
"Ready to fly Mark?"
"Yep"
"Ok"
Sam got in to the plane and got herself sorted out, once everything was done, the canopy close just as she started her engines, she spoke to the tower then they were in the air minutes later.
She did her low flying training then she noticed she got company whom she spoke to the two guys and then it was a cat and mouse game with them She was having fun with them.
Even if she didn't know whom they were. When she was returning back to base she smile as she landed her jet and stop at where she normally stop the plane and the canape open. When she got out she look at Mark who look rather green
"Take some deep breaths and go to the bathroom"
"Thanks Sam" when he got out he ran to the bathroom and she chuckles and look at the two men who was looking after her plane
"I think next time I'll take him up before lunch"
"Who is he Sam?"
"Mark, my brother"
"Ok" then the two other jets landed not far for hers and the two men got out and walked over to her
"Excuse us where can we find Sam Carter"
"Why are you looking for her?" Sam asked
"Her, we though Sam Carter was a male"
"Why are you asking for her"
"To tell her about her flying"
"Oh care to tell me I was on the board you know"
"Well where did she learn how to fly like that"
"Was there something wrong with her flying?"
The two ground crew were busy checking the jet over and they got their back to the three of them grinning
"Nothing, we never seen her move like she did, she must be one hell of a pilot" Sam grin then colonel and Ann walk over to them
"Gentlemen, what is your opinion on the young pilot?"
"She shot both of us down in under three minutes, she amazing"
"Who are you two" sam asked
"I'm Major Tanner"
"I'm Lieutenant Colonel Jordan and you are?" Sam shook both of their hands and said
"Samantha Carter the pilot who kick your but" Ann cover her mouth trying not to laugh. They look at the shock looks on the two pilot faces
"You a pilot?"
"Yep, so colonel who idea was it for the cat and mouse game?"
"Chief of staff, the Major was last year top gun winner and colonel was the year before, the General wanted to know how you can handle yourself"
"Ok well for me it was fun as for Mark he worshiping the toilet bowl at the moment" she thumb the building
"I see, well gentlemen if you come this way"
"Sure, Sam what are you plans for the future?"
"Airforce and NASA"
"Good luck"
"Thanks" then they walk way talking
"It's a shame Jack isn't here," Sam said thinking about him
"I know but at least it some thing you can tell him tomorrow night"
"True, let go so I can get changed and you can see how mark is doing"
They walk to where Sam sign in how long she was flying for then she got change. When done, she walks out to Mark car to see him in the passenger seat and Ann was driving.
"How are you feeling Mark"
"Little better, Ann told me about the two pilots"
"Ok"
Then they left the base and drives to the shooting range, on the way Mark pass Sam her two rings to her. She looked at them as she put them on her fingers then she looked out the window thinking about Jack. When they got to the firing range, Sam did her firing practice for the next hour.
Then they left to head back to Jack place where Sam cook up some dinner and they were looking through the bridal magazines for a while. After dinner they all went down to the games room where they play poker for a couple of hours before they left to head back to the academy.
Ann took all six of the books with her for her to look through. Sam went to bed not long after they left.
