CH 74

Jack stood at the back watching and listening as Sam sat up the front in one of the chairs. When the others showed up and the captain and another navy officer.

The officer did all the talking about how well they all did and today's test was to shoot the targets, which are beingplaced out at sea. They were giving a limited amount of ammo to use and the ones who got the most targets will get a reward that night. When they finished, they all left and headed to the flight deck.

Sam left last when she was just about to walk out; Jack put his hand on her arm. She stop and turn around and they step back into the room he pulled her into a hug and gave her a passionate kiss which shock her but she love it, when they pulled apart

"Good luck Sam and show them what you can do"

"I will Jack"

Then they kissed before Sam ran out of the room so she could catch up with the others. Jack walked out and up to the bridge where he could see all the action.

Jack could hear everything and he watched as the first four jets took off and headed to the targets and started shooting them till they blew up. Then they go to the next target till they run out of ammo then they wait till the next four jets take off then they could land.

Jack waited and found out Sam was in the fifth group. He watched her take off and headed to her first target and blew it up then she went onto the next and the next. When the other three ran out of ammo, Sam had heaps and she blew up all the targets that they had out there.

The captain ordered more targets out there and the fifth group had to wait. By the time the last group landed, they all met in the meeting room. When the captain spoke, he looked at them all.

"Well I'm impress with what you all have done in the last two days, but as you know there only one prize, and you all know who the winner is, don't we Samantha Carter" Sam smile

"Yes sir"

"Unfortunately I can't give you the prize" they were all shock

"Why not sir" one of the pilots asked, sam look at the captain

"Cause I'm not in the air force, am I right"

"Yes, but when you do, you can received your prise then"

"What is it?"

"To enter in the 'top gun' competition" they were all shocked and knew that the top pilots could only enter in to it.

"So for now, all I can do is wait, oh well at least it will give me plenty of time to practice" Jack smile at her comment

"Yes you can but from what I've been told you will win hands down"

"Meaning what?"

"Dose cat and mouse game ring any bells and green brother passager" he look at her and she laugh

"Yes, yes I do" the others look at them back and forth looking confused

"Care to tell them, you got the ok"

"Ok" Sam stood up and turned around to the group.

"Couple of weeks ago, I was taking my brother who is a cadet in the air force up flying when two jets showed up. Then I was told they wanted to know how good I was, so it was a cat and mouse game… to shoot them both within minutes of each other. After we landed and the introductions, the two pilots were Major Tanner last year top gun winner and lieutenant colonel Jordan year before top gun winner, I whip their buts"

They were all shocked, Samlooked up and saw Jack with a grin on his face. Then she looked back at the pilots

"Wow, I bet they were shock when they found out that you were the pilot that whip them?" one of them said

"Yep" she said smiling then she sat down again

"Any questions?" they all shook their head for 'no'

"Alright then, your all dismiss, Captain O'Neill, Sam your plane will be landing in twenty minutes"

"Thanks" Sam said

They all got up and talked among themselves while Jack and Sam left to go back to their quarters where they could pack their things. Soon as the door was close, they both were in each other arms hugging and kissing, when they broke apart

"Congratulations Sam"

"Thanks Jack"

"Shall we, sooner as we can leave sooner we can get home"

"Sounds good to me"

They both kiss one more time then they pack their things up and walk out heading to the flight deck where their plane was waiting for them. Once aboard the plane left a few minutes later back to Colorado Springs.

When the plane landed and they got their bags and thanked the crew, they walked over to Jack truck and put their bags in the back then they got in and drove home. On the way they stop off at KFC for some dinner since they both were tired and not in the mood for cooking. After dinner and they both used the rest rooms, they were back in the truck and headed home.

When they got there they walked in the house and up to their rooms and sorted out their bags then they had an early night since they both didn't get much sleep the night before.

Early the next morning they both were up early getting things sorted out. Sam took care of the things she would be needed for during the week and she put a load of washing through the machine while Jack went for his morning run and cooked breakfast.

When Sam had some time, she finished her homework that needed to be done. After breakfast and everything was done, Mr Thomas showed up so after Sam bags were in the car. She and Jack hugged and kissed and said their 'I love you' to each other before Sam got in and Jack watched them drive away then he returned back into his house and got ready then he left for work.

At the beginning of every month the top brass get together for their annual meetings. At the end of each meeting the chief of staff asked about how Sam is doing. When one of the generals read out the report from the captain of the aircraft carrier, they were surprised with what she has done in the two days and for what she had spotted and what she did. They were all amazed and pleased with her progress.

"Well by the sounds of the report she is going to make one hell of a leader in years to come" they all agree.

One day when Sam finished her class at the academy in the afternoon and her class mate didn't have classes either, they went into town so Sam could look at cell phones. When she saw the one she wanted after checking out a few things about it and the price, she decided to buy it there and then.

She walked up to the counter and put the box on the counter and pulled out her credit card and handed it over. The guy looked at her

"Is there something wrong"

"Where did you get this from?"

"It mine, if you want some other ID all you have to do is ask"

"Ok what I'D have you got?"

Sam pulled out of her purse her air force and university ID then she pulled out her past ports which were updated three months earlier and handed them over to the guy. Then she got a pen and paper and wrote down her signature then passed that over so he could check them out. He looked at them all then to Sam

"Ok, I'll need you to fill out a form"

"Sure" he passes everything back except for her credit cards so he could use it to pay for the cell phone.

When everything was almost done, he call the cell phone company while talking on the phone giving them the cell phone code, he look at Sam

"What is the phone number you would like to have"

"Is it the triple five with four numbers after it?"

"Yes"

"Ok, five, five, five, five, two, two, five" he repeated that number and waited

"Sorry already taken"

"Ok the last four numbers five, six, seven, two" Sam waited and the guy nodded

"Is that the one you want?"

"Yes"

He spoke on the phone for a minute then he opened the box and got the phone out then he put the phone down and walked over to a draw and unlock it. Then open it then he got a battery out and walk back over and open the cell phone and pull out the battery that is in it and put the other one in

Then he pressed the on button then he picked up the phone receiver and spoke then they waited and the cell phone rings so he press the talk button and talk into it then he hung up.

Then he talked on the normal phone for a few seconds more then hung up. Then he swaps the batteries around again and put the phone back into the box and put it in a bag

"There you go ma'am when you get home put the phone on the charger, it will take twelve hours to fully charge"

"Thank you" he pass Sam her credit card back to her and she put it away then he pass her, the bag

"If there is any problems with the phone return it back here"

"Thanks" then she walks out of the shop and walks down to where the car is. She saw her driver walking towards her with bags in hand

"Got everything you needed" Sam asked

"Yep, you?"

"Yep, lets head back"

They put their shopping in the back seat then they got in and drove back to the academy. After Sam was dropping off outside her dorm, she walked in with her bags and walked up to her room.

Once in side she sat down on her bed and pulled the box out of the bag and opened it then she pull out the manual and read it. Then she got the charger out and set it up and put her new phone onto it and it turneditself on then she saw it starting to charge.

She walked back over to her bed and read on how to program numbers on the phone, everything. When she finished reading it she went and relieved herself then she made herself a drink and had it while she was doing her homework for the next few hours, then she went to get some dinner.

When she returned, she made herself-another drink and then carried on studying for the next few hours before calling it a night.

The next morning before Sam went to the dining hall for breakfast, she checked her new phone to see it was charged. So she programmed the phone numbers in with names only she knows who they are, then she checked the reception area to see it was good so she gave Jack a call first on it.

"Hello"

"Morning Jack"

"Hey, morning Sam, why are you calling me at this time of the morning?"

"I got a cell phone yesterday after class at the academy"

"Which one?"

"The one we saw advertise in the paper couple of weeks ago"

"Which one was that?" sam smile

"The FY8850. You are the first person I call on it"

"Cool, you know calling me is going to cost Sam"

"I know, but it will come in handy if the pentagon want to call me at least I won't be so cripitated over the public phone"

"True, so what is the phone number?"

"Five, five, five, five, six, seven, two"

"Why those numbers Sam?"

"Easy five, five, five, J, O, S, C"

"Ah now that is a easy phone number to remember" Sam smile

"True" she pick up her bag and walk out of her room and lock the door

"So where are you?"

"Just leaving my room… shields on" then she turn and walk down the corridor

"So where are you off to now?"

"Breakfast then heading to the liberty for an hour before class"

"Ok well I'll pick you up tomorrow night then"

"Ok, you can give the others this number and I'll contact the pentagon when I get a chance later"

"Ok, see you tomorrow then love you"

"Love you to Jack" then they both hung up and Sam put in a code to lock the phone so no one could use it and put it in her bag while walking still.

Week later Sam was studying when her phone rang, so she answered it

"Hello"

"Hey it me"

"Hi me" she said smiling

"Funny Sam"

"Well you started it, is everything ok?"

"Yeah, I just got a call from Tom and Gary"

"Is everything alright?"

"Yeah, Gary called first, Mary Ann had a boy this afternoon"

"Hey that is good news what is his name?"

"Dean Gary"

"Ok how is Mary Ann doing?"

"Good, they are both happy"

"That is good news and Tom?"

"Bridget had a C-session done, one of the twins was breach"

"Ok so what did they have?"

"One of each, their names are Brenda and Brandon"

"Ok tom must be happy"

"Oh he is Sam, he is"

"I bet, look I've got a class at the academy tomorrow, if there is time afterwards, I'll stop off at the florist and send some flowers to the mothers"

"They would like that"

"Which hospital are they at?"

"Minneapolis maternity hospital"

"Ok, so how things at work?"

"Good, we got all day practice and training tomorrow"

"Ok well sound like you need an early night"

"Well I'm in bed I was just about to turn the lights off when Gary called, then just after I spoke to him, Tom called"

"Ok, well I better let you get some sleep, I'm going to bed my self in half an hour"

"Ok I'll let you get back to your studies then"

"Ok night Jack"

"Night Sam" then they both hung up. Sam did go to bed half an hour later with a smile on her face.
