'Jan I've just gotta go and grab my bag from my locker. You wanna wait here or come with?' Sam asked as she locked up her lab.

'Nah I'll come with ya. You'll need protection from the guys probably. One threat of needles and they'll be cowering in the corner.' Janet said and smiled mischievously before joining in with her friends laughter.

'So is Cassie coming out with us tonight?' Sam asked as she walked into the locker room.

'Yeah, I think so unless her and Dominic have made last minute plans' Janet said and smiled.

Sam mirrored her expression as she grabbed her bag out of her locker. Out of the corner of her eye she spied the Colonel's locker and moved in closer.

'Sam whatcha doing hon?' Janet asked as she watched the Major break into the locker and take his wallet out before dumping it in her bag. She slammed the door shut and turned to face her friend.

'So you're stealing it then?' Janet said, a bemused look on her face

'No, keeping it safe. What are friends for?' Sam smiled before leading the way out of the room.

'So we'll swing by the locker room, grab our stuff and head to O'Malley's. Sound good boys?' Jack asked as he lead the way into the locker room.

'Sure does Jack. If I'm gonna be terrorized by women at work, I need a good beer or two!' Kawalsky said and smiled as he opened his locker and grabbed his stuff.

Jack let the door of his locker swing back and hit the locker next to his as he reached in for his keys.

'Come on Jack' Feretti bellowed as he waited impatiently at the door.

'My gears not in her Lou' Jack said as he pulled his head out of the locker after a thorough check.

'Well let's go to your office then. I feel like your mother sometimes!' Lou said cheekily.

'Insubordination Lou, insubordination!' Jack said as he exited the room to tell the others to go along without him and that he and Lou would catch them up as soon as possible.

'Come on then Jacky boy, back to the office we go!' Feretti said earning him a death glare from the Colonel in front.

'I can't believe they did that though. Wasn't Daniel there to knock some sense into them?' Cassie asked as she looked at her mothers hand again.

'I dunno sweetie. Me and Sam were heading to her lab and she had her arms full with folders so I went to open it, next thing I know my hands burnt. None of them were near the scene' Janet smirked.

'Here we go girlies!' Sam said as she walked back from the bar with a tray full of cocktails.

'Yours is non-alcoholic before you get too excited' Sam told the teenager as her eyes brightened up.

'You shouldn't have Sam. These are the most expensive ones they've got in O'Malley's.' Janet protested as Sam laid the drink in front of her.

'Oh I didn't' Sam said and smiled as she pulled out the Colonel's wallet and smiled.

'He is so going to kill you!' Cassie screeched as the three fell about laughing.

'Eh! What's he gonna do, burn my hand?' Sam said sarcastically and the laughter erupted again.

'I swear, the man gets more forgetful everyday. It's old age creeping up on him. Poor sod!' Charlie joked as he and the guys walked into the bar.

'Major Kawalsky, if O'Neill were getting more forgetful each day, how long would you believe he has left to remember everything?' Teal'c asked Charlie.

'Uh, uum, to be honest Teal'c, I have no idea. It was more of a figure of speech' Charlie told him, the pair both confused by the other.

'Hey is that Sam over at the pool table?' Daniel asked as he pointed in the direction of the three women.

'I believe it is Daniel Jackson.' Teal'c stated as they headed over.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

'So if it's not in my locker and it's not in my office, where is it?' Jack asked, getting more and more frustrated by the minute.

'One clue – tall, blonde, major who happens to be your pissed off second in command' Feretti told him and the Colonel's face fell.

'Right,' Jack said rubbing his hands together, 'Where's Siler?'

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

'Come on Charlie. Surely you can do better than that! Sam's beating the hell out of ya!' Cassie taunted as Kawalsky missed the pocket.

'Honestly, I preferred you when you were ten and sweet and innocent. Now you've turned into a woman your like the rest of them!' Charlie joked as Sam potted another ball.

'What incredibly gorgeous, sexy, talented and much better at pool?' Janet asked innocently.

'Just you wait missy!' Charlie said as he pointed the cue at her before lining up his shot.

'Anyone wanna drink?' Janet asked rather loudly as Charlie's cue connected with the cue ball causing him to jump and mess the shot up.

'Yeah sure. Thanks Jan' Daniel said as Charlie glared at her.

'What? Just being polite!' She told him as the three women fell into fits of giggles.

'Sam can I take Jack's wallet to pay?' Janet whispered into her friends ear

'Thought that was mean?' Sam said sarcastically, 'Alright it's in my bag. Don't' let them see it though!' She told her friend before hitting another ball into the pocket.

'Jack what are you doing? You're doing it all wrong!' Lou said

'Fine you do it then if your so clever!' Jack said and watched smugly as he failed also.

'Siler said to disable the red wire yeah?' Lou asked and Jack nodded, 'Well then, try opening the door!' Feretti instructed as he snapped the red wire in two.

Jack swiped his card and they door failed to open. He smiled mischievously before patting Feretti on the back.

'She won't get in there without a fight!' Lou said

Jack clasped his hands together and cried 'Excellent' Mr Burns style before heading to the lift with his friend.

'Charlie, you've lost three games already. What makes you think you'll beat her this time?' Janet asked smugly, and slightly tipsy due to the amount of cocktails in her system.

'Because I stand down and put Jack in my place' Charlie told them as he pointed towards the two figures at the door. Sam's eyes connected with Jack's and she knew it was bad news.

'Be right back!' She cried before dragging Janet and Cassie into the ladies toilets.

'What's up with her?' Daniel asked as Jack and Feretti approached.

'She knows I'm about to kill her!' Jack said calmly as he started to explain the events of the last hour to his friends.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

'I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die! Janet, Cass, it's been nice knowing ya both!' Sam said as she washed her hands under the tap.

'Come off it Sam, he won't hurt ya! All you'll get is another 'I'm the great Jack O'Neill and no one can defeat me and my pranks' thing, we'll whip him into shape and bam – all sorted' Janet told her friend seriously.

'Hey Sam, why don't you just take it out of ya bag?' Cassie asked as Janet reached into Sam's bag.

'God, like mother like daughter!' Sam cried as Janet jammed the wallet down the front of Sam's top.

'That is just so wrong! No!' Sam said and went to pull the wallet out from her top until both Janet and Cassie's hands slapped her away.

'He'll never suspect it Sam. Just act naturally and act like you don't know what he's on about' Janet told her friend as they walked out of the rest rooms.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

'Hey Carter! Can I have my wallet back now or do I have to make it an order?' Jack asked, his eyes twinkling mischievously.

'What ya on about Sir and I thought when we were off base there weren't any orders?' Sam said smugly.

'Or 'Sirs' for that matter but seriously can I have my wallet' Jack almost begged.

Sam bit back the laugh she was holding in her stomach and answered him, 'Jack, I have no idea what your on about'

'Right then, well where the hell is it now Lou?' Jack shouted turning back to his friend. Sam glanced at Janet quickly for reassurance before taking a swig of her drink.

'Wait a minute!' Jack said loudly and turned back towards Sam, 'If you don't have my wallet, why did you bolt it to the ladies when I walked in? I'm not that scary am I?' Jack questioned her.

'I 'bolted' it because I Janet is still mad at you and me and Cassie had to calm her down' Sam lied through her teeth on the spot.

'Oh yeah crap' Jack moaned and walked away again. Sam sighed in relief as he started to apologise to the Doctor.

'Listen Jan, if I had my wallet I'd get you a drink, so I'm sorry again.' Jack told her and she smiled, knowing he'd already bought her two drinks tonight without knowing.

'So, who am is Sam beating, sorry, playing this time?' Cassie asked as she handed Sam the cue.

'Me apparently so get ready to lose girls coz Jack's here now!' Jack said as Sam broke.

As Sam was about to hit the last of her balls into the pocket Jack tried not to panic. He had to beat her. He watched as she leaned over the table, gently rocking the cue back and forth over her hand in the direction of the cue ball. He saw the way her top hugged her figure as she elegantly leaned over to strike the ball. Oh yes Jacky Boy, definitely more flattering than fatigues. The way the top hugs her…..wait a minute. Is that my? Oh you scheming cow Miss Carter!

'So just the black ball to go now hey Sam?' Jack asked her as he approached.

'Looks like it. Seems your not as good as you claimed to be doesn't it!' She told him and he smiled, moving closer and closer to her all the time.

'Well I have more pressing matters on my mind, such as the fact I don't know where my wallet is.' He told her as he bent over the table.

'Ahh I'm sure it'll turn up soon' She told him, hiding the lie the whole time.

'Listen, Sam, help me line up the shot will ya?' Jack asked, hoping she'd fall into the trap.

'Sure' She beamed and started to move under his arm to help him. With his arm around her waist and his hands just above hers on the cue he was in heaven, only to be pulled from it by the mickey taking of his friends.

'Needed help did we Jack?' Charlie said sarcastically.

Jack stuck up two fingers in his general direction as he focused on finding his wallet. As Sam muttered something about the shot being easy he went in for the kill.

'So Sam, this top you wearing tonight, I like it!' He whispered into her ear. She melted under him as his warm breath hit her neck but before she could thank him he continued, 'I especially like the fact it has a pocket for my wallet!' He said into her ear.

She dropped the cue and swore under her breath.

'What's going on you two?' Daniel asked as Jack didn't let go of Sam's waist.

'Miss Carter lied to me that's all boys!' Jack said and started to tickle his second in command around the waist.

'Now are you going to give me my wallet or am I going to have to get it myself?' Jack whispered into her ear, knowing the effect it had on her earlier.

'Well as your holding my hands behind my back I think you'll have to get it don't you 'Jack'' She told him, her voice much more huskier than usual.

As Jack debated what to do he felt something vibrate in his back pocket. Realising it was his phone, he reached down, grabbed the phone and answered.

'Yep, we'll be there in half an hour tops' Jack said before slamming his phone shut again.

'Playtimes over girls and boys. Back to lessons people!' Jack said as he released his grip on Sam and smiled slightly at her. She gave him one of her kilowatt smiles, reserved only for Jack O'Neill, before grabbing her bag from the table.

'O'Neill, I do no understand your previous statement' Teal'c told him.

'We've gotta head back to base T, I as just playing' Jack said, before following the gang out of the door.

'Sir!' He heard Carter shout from behind. He turned to see her pulling his wallet out of her cleavage before throwing it to him. Oh yeah, he was never getting a new wallet ever again!
