CH 79

When they got to the airport, the limo drives to where the private plane is. When they got out, they saw the coffin being loaded onto the plane. The plane staff help Dave with Jack and Sam bags onto the plane.

Sam was holding onto Jack's hand when he saw his father's coffin. When their bags were aboard, they walked up the steps themselves and were shown to where they could sit.

Once they sat down and their seat belts were on, Sam held onto his hand once again. Five minutes later they were in the air heading to Minneapolis. Jack stood up and looked at Sam, who was looking at him.

"Go on, I'll be here" he nodded then walked to the back of the plane to where the coffin is.

Jack sat on a chair next to the coffin and looked at it for the next few hours till Sam walked up to him, he looked up with tears in his eyes. Sam steps forward and huged him as he hugs her back. They were like that for a few minutes, and then he pulled back and looked up at her as she looked down at him

"Sam what are you doing back here?"

"We will be landing in few minutes, they asked me to come and tell you"

"Thanks"

Sam stood back and Jack stood up and they both hugged before they walked back to their seats.

When they landed five minutes later, they were waiting for the hearse and the limo to show up, so while waiting, Jack went to use the bathroom to relieve himself and wash his face and hands before returning back to where Sam is. When he got there, he could hear voices coming from where the coffin is, he look at Sam

"The hearse arrived while you were in the loo"

"Ok" They watch as they saw the coffin being taken from the plane and loaded in the back of the hearse.

Jack and Sam followed the coffin and watchedeverything, including the hearse driving away, just as the limo showed up. They got in while their bags were taken care of, then they were on their way to the hotel.

When they got there, they walked up to the front desk where Jack spoke to the women then she checked the computer, then she passed them a key then they went to the elevators and went up to the floor which is where their room is. When they found their room Jack unlocked the door and they walked in and closed the door. They walk into the suite

"Wow, nice room"

"Yeah" they walk over to their bed and put their bags down on the bed before sitting down.

Sam look at him then she stood up and walk over to the mini bar and got them both orange juice then walk back and pass Jack a bottle, he look up at her

"You haven't had much to drink in the past few days and I'm worried about you"

"Thanks" he took it from her hands and drank some of it while she sat back on her bed facing him while drinking her drink.

"Jack" he looked at her

"I was just thinking"

"When does your brain ever rest" Sam smile at his comment

"Funny, I was thinking, I would love to be a fly on the wall when Joanne returns from France to no money and no home" Jack thought about it and smile

"Your right, she sure is going to be shock"

"Yeah" then there was a knock on the door

"I'll get it you drink up or else" sam stood up and walk to the door

"Or else what Sam" she turned and gave him a grin then turned to see who was knocking on the door. Jack knew that look so he drank the last of it when he heard

"Hi guys come on in, I know he would love to see you all"

Jack looked up to see the door widens and to see Andy and the rest of his team walk into the room. Jack put his glass down then stood up to shake the guy's hands

"What are you guys doing here, how did you know?"

"I called them and they called the lawyer, he told Andy where we are staying and what time we will be here"

"Ah, thanks for coming guys"

"We are all here for you Jack"

"Thanks, so you came alone?"

"Nope the wives are down stairs in the bar, one of the workers came over and told us they you have arrived so we waited for few minutes before showing up"

"Well thanks guys"

"Would you like to join us down stairs"

"Sure, give me couple of minutes will ya"

"Sure" then they left them alone.

Once the door was close, Jack step up to where Sam is and gave her a kiss

"Thank you for telling the guys"

"As Andy said, they are here for you Jack"

"I know" then they hug

"Come on let's go and join them"

"Sure" Jack picks up the key card before they walk out of their room and walk to the elevators.

"Jack"

"Yes Sam"

"If you want something stronger to drink, have it before having beers and not after" jack smile

"Ok"

Few minutes later they walked into the bar and saw Jack's friends talking, then they saw Tracey and Phillip there with them. When they reach them the wives gave Jack a hug while Sam gave her auntie and uncle a hug

"Sam how are you," her auntie asked

"I'm ok, I'm just worried about Jack"

"We understand" then Jack turn to them and he shook Phillip hand

"Phillip, Tracey, this is a surprise" he then gave Tracey a hug

"Sam called and told us what was happening and we called your father lawyer and he told us what is happening and where you two will be"

"Ok, well thanks for coming" then they all sat down. Phillip wave a waitress over

"Jack what will you have?"

"Beer for me thanks"

"Coke for me thank you," Sam said, she wrote it down then walked back to the bar.

"How are the new homes coming along?" jack asked

"Good we start building next month"

"That's good to know, does the kids know about it?"

"Nope it going to be their Christmas presents from us"

"Ok, they sure going to love it"

"Yes they will alright" then the women return with their drinks, she got Jack to sign the slip then she walked over to the next table.

They all talk for the next five hours before they all walk into one of the restaurants where they all had dinner together while talking and laughing for the next two hours.

Then they return back to the bar where Jack only had coke for the rest of the evening. Jack and Sam left just after ten, after they said their good nights to everyone.

The next morning Sam ordered room service for breakfast while Jack was in the shower. She just hung up when the phone rang again

"Hello"

"Hello can I speak to Captain O'Neill"

"He can't come to the phone right now who is this?"

"Is that you Sam?"

"Tom"

"Yes it is, where is Jack?"

"Having a shower, is everything ok?"

"We got a big problem, the media is here to record the funeral and there is no way me and my guys can handle them all by ourselves, plus there won't be enough seats at the church for everyone" Sam let out her breath

"Ok Tom, leave it with me, I'll call you soon as I can think of something up"

"Ok Sam, how is Jack?"

"Today will be hard on him"

"I understand"

"I better go and make some calls, thanks for calling"

"No worries" then they hung up.

Plus I'm going to call the caters who is doing the food for the wake to let them know so they will have to do more up and same for the drinks''

"Wow that is great, I think the best place would be the stadium across the road from the church"

"Ok well they flying men over to the church now so you better get over there and as for back up to take care of the media, they are on their way also"

"Thanks Sam"

"Ok I better go I just heard the shower turn off"

"Ok, see you at eleven"

"Ok" then they hung up.

Sam then called the caters and the ones who took care of the drinks. When she finished talking to them, she hung up and let out a breath as she laid back against her pillows. Few minutes later Jack walk out wearing a robe

"How was the shower?"

"Good, who was that on the phone"

"Tom, the media shown up"

"Ah"

"I've already ordered breakfast"

"Sam I'm not hungry"

"Yes they got me out of bed, take them away and have them arrest and charge for disturbing the peace"

"Yes ma'am"

Then they took them away, then the guy walked back to the door and Sam signed the slip before he left. When they were gone Sam turn the numbers around so it would show up as 345 then she close the door and lock it

"You can come out now Jack"

Jack walk out to see Sam walking over to their breakfast and push the trolley towards the table
