Week later Jack picks Sam up on Thursday since there was a teacher's day on Friday so there were no classes at the university. That afternoon Sam just walk through the door with one of the cadets behind her, she needed to use the toilet, so while she was in there the phone rang so she answered it

"Hello"

"Hello is this Jonathan O'Neill residence?"

"Why do you want to know?"

"I'm trying to contact him, it to do with his father"

"Who is this?"

"Detective, Green from LAPD" Sam frond

"I know who you are looking for, I'm Samantha Carter, his fiancee can I help you, Jack at work, has something happen to his father"

"Yes"

"Then what is it"

"He was killed, I'm sorry" Sam was shock and the cadet walk into the kitchen to thank her then leave, but Sam grab her arm and she stop and turn to see a shock look o Sam face

"How?"

"Bank robbery that went wrong, the robbers shot everyone there, Mr O'Neill died at the seen"

"Oh no, was anyone else killed?" the cadet was shock when she heard what Sam said and wondering if something happen to the captain

"Yes two others"

"Ok what is your number and I'll get in contact with Jack striate away" He gave Sam his number before hanging up.

"Sam what wrong"

"Can you take me to Peterson after I make this call, Jack father was killed, a bank robbery went wrong"

"Oh no, sure"

"Thanks"

Then she called Peterson air force base and spoke to the colonel there

"Hi Sam what can I do for you"

"Colonel I need a favour"

"Sam"

"I need transport to Los angeles and a car and driver for when Jack and I get there, it a family emergency"

"Sam what happened?"

"Jack father was killed in a bank robbery, I got cadet here, she will take me to the base"

"Ok Sam I'll get something sorted out for you and Captain O'Neill"

"Thanks, I'll be there soon as I can"

"Ok if there is anything else"

"I'll let you know, thanks" Then they both hung up.

"I'll be right back"

Then she picked up her cell phone and ran up the stairs and she called Andy and told him what hadhappened and asked him if he could make some calls for Jack which he said he would do. When he finished talking to him he called tom from silver creek and told him so he could call the others, then she called her aunt and uncle about the news.

While she was talking she was packing Jack things up first. When she finished making the calls, she finished packing for Jack, then she went and packed her things that she would be needing.

When she finished she called Mr Thomas to tell him and ask him to let her professors know that she was going to be away for a week, then she contacted her air force professors and to let them know as well so they will all understand. When she finish packing she pick everything up and walk down stairs to see the cadet still waiting for her

"Here let me take them for you Sam"

"Thanks"

She passed a couple of bags to the cadet so she could close and lock up the house. Then she walked down to the car and put everything in and then she got in and they were on their way to Peterson air force base. When they got there the guard told them where to go so they went straight to where a plane was waiting. When they got there Sam look around

"Where captain O'Neill?"

"He training ma'am"

"Where"

"Don't know ma'am"

Sam looked around and saw a jeep she walked over to it then she walked back and she opened her bag and got her phone piece of paper out. Then she closed it and walked over the jeep just as she put the paper in her pocket and phone down her front, then she started it up and drove to where she knew where Jack would be.

The airmen and the two pilots were shocked with what she did and they radio the colonel about what Sam just did and all they could do is wait for her return. When Sam drove over to the building where she knew where Jack would be training. She opened the door and walked in and stopped when she saw them practicing hand to hand. Jack was showing the recruits on what to do.

"Jack" she called out and every one stop and turned to see a young girl standing there.

"Captain" one of them called out

"What"

He turned around since he was showing two cadets where they were going wrong he didn't hear her. He turned around and looked at what the others were looking at and walked over and he saw Sam standing there.

"Sam what are you doing here"

"One you better dismiss your class"

She look up in his eyes and he could tell something bad has happenedotherwise she wouldn't have been there

"Class dismiss" Sam held on to his hand and walked over to where they could talk in private. She pulled out her cell phone and the piece of paper.

"Sam what's wrong?"

"I got a call from a detective Green from LAPD… it your dad, Jack… he was killed when a bank robbery went sour" Jack look at her in shock

"Dad… dead" Sam nodded

"I'm sorry Jack"

"No, it…"

Then tears were starting to fall so Sam pulled him into a hug as he started to cry. Sam saw the colonel and Andy walk into the room and saw what was happening and knew Sam had broken the bad news, so they walkedoutside to give them some privacy. When they pulled apart Sam pulled out a hanky and passes it to him.

"I better go and let my CO know that I'll be needing some time off"

"Jack I've taken care of everything, here, call the detective, he is expecting your call, and there a plane waiting on the tarmac for us, I called in a favour"

"Thanks Sam" he giver her a hug

"I'm coming with you Jack"

"Thanks"

"I've got our bags pack and waiting on the plane"

"What will I do without you Sam?"

"I can think of a few things, so the call, when done we can get out of here"

"Ok, thanks" he gave her a kiss

Then she passes him the phone and piece of paper. Jack called the detective and spoke to him for a couple of minutes before hanging up then he gave Sam another hug "Let's go" Then they walked out with their arms around each other, when they walkedoutside, Andy and the colonel was there waiting for them.

"Jack I'm sorry for you're lost"

"Thanks"

"Captain, you can take all the time you need off and if there is anything we can do to help, give me a call"

"Yes sir"

"Come on I'll drive you two to the plane"

"Thanks Andy" they got into the jeep and the colonel heard

"Sam who tough you have to drive?"

"Jack did" then they drive away leaving the colonel standing there. On the way to the plane Jack turn and look at Sam

"Sam did you drive a jeep to where I was?"

"Yep after all, there was only an airmen next to the plane and he is new to here and he wouldn't know where to go"

"Oh" Sam held on to his hand till they got to the plane. When Andy stops the jeep

"Here is your ride, call me if you guys need anything"

"Thanks Andy" Sam said

"Thanks" they got out and walked up the steps on the plane when there was a captain waiting for them.

"Captain O'Neill, Sam if you take your seats we will be taking off in few minutes"

"Thanks" Sam said

They sat down and Jack passed Sam her phone that she turned it off while the captain returned back to the cockpit. Jack turned to Sam to see her looking at him. She put her hand in his.

"If I don't get a chance later Sam, thank you"

"Your welcome" she squeezes his hand, which he did in return.

Then they heard the engines start up. Then they were in the air a few minutes later. Ten minutes later the captain returned with a bag in hand.

"Captain O'Neill here is you clothes and thing from your locker, if you want to get change" he pass Jack the bag

"Thanks" then he returned back up front again.

Jack stood up and walked to where he could get change out of his BDU clothing. When he returned a few minutes later Sam looked at him as he sat back and relaxed with his eyes closed. So Sam turned and looked out the window and every now and then turned to check on Jack.

When the plane landed at one of the air force bases. They both got off with their bags in hand, when a car pulled up and a lieutenant got out and walk over to them and stood at attention and saluted which Jack did in return

"Captain, ma'am I've been ordered to take you where you needed to go"

"Thanks lieutenant"

They walk over to the car and put their bags in then they get in. Jack told the lieutenant where to go, so he drove them to Jack's father's house. Sam was holding on to his hand the whole time since they have gotten into the car. When they got to the house and they got out, the staff was there to greet them.

"Welcome back Mr O'Neill"

"Thank, how are you all holding up?"

"We are coping thanks sir"

"Ok" Once they got their bags, Jack thanks and dismisses the lieutenant before walking into the house

"Sir, I'll take your things to your room"

"Thanks, oh before I forget, this is Samantha Carter, she like to be called Sam"

"Hi" she said they all said hello back. Sam and Jack pass their bags to the Butler and the maid. Then they all walk into the house

"Has Joanne been notified?"

"We don't know where she is, she left last night and hasn't return"

"I see thanks"

"Jack we both know where she is"

"Sam" they look at each other

"Jack you know what I'm like you know I always speak my mind"

"I know but not today"

"Jack what I'm saying is that she no good money hungry whore, who properly to busy humping her boyfriend right now, any way you don't give a rats ass about her, am I right" Jack look into her eyes and knew she was right

"Yeah your right"

"Well there you go… cool house and I don't mean the temperature inside" Jack and the staff smile.

"Yes it is. I need to call dad lawyer, I got funeral arrangements, there so much to do" he said running his hands through his hair.

"Jack calm down ok, why don't you get us both a cool drink and can someone direct me to the study"

"This way Sam" one of the staff members said

"Thanks, don't worry Jack, I'll help you out much as I can"

"Thanks Sam" they both hung before going their separate ways.

When Sam was in the office she looked through the desk till she found what she was looking for and she started making phone calls when Jack walked in and passed her a coke, she just finished hanging up the phone.

"Who did you just call?"

"The detective, he will be here in an hour to talk to you and he want you to go and ID your father body, to make sure" he nodded as he sat down

"I've already contacted his lawyer, he going to check to find out what your father funeral request is, every thing then he going to call back"

"Ok, anything else?"

"Not at the moment, they were the only two calls that I've made so far"

"Ok" Sam look at him

"Jack you're not alone in this, just remember that"

"I know" they look at each other then the phone rang, so Sam answered it

"Hello… Yes, speaking… ok… what about the house and staff… ok… yes he is here… sure, thanks for calling back… thanks" then she hung up and sat back

"The lawyer check your father last requests, it states that he wanted to be buried next to your grandparents up at silver creek. He took care of everything on the flight to Minneapolis, the funeral home for here in LA and Minneapolis, the limos and he also got a copy of a letter for a military funeral. Since he was in the war and he requested to be buried in his uniform" Jack nodded

"So I better call to make plane bookings for us"

"Jack that was already done for us as well, including the hotel rooms for us, the wake, everything including flights back here for the reading of the will and hotel stays"

"He sure thought up everything"

"Yes he has alright" she took a mouthful of her coke

"So there is nothing we can do then?"

"Well you can give Andy a call to let him know, that were are here and I'll give Auntie Tracey a call to let her know the latest"

"Ok, good idea" Sam stood up and walked around and she sat on his lap and gave him a hug, which he did in return.
