Sam returned to work bright and early Monday morning after what had been a hectic weekend. After the events at O'Malley's and the rescue mission both SG1 and 2 had to carry out to retrieve SG-5 from a Jaffa ambush, she had spent the rest of the weekend at home in bed.
Sam took a right turn towards her lab ready to start work on the artefact bought home by another team a few weeks back. Sam reached into her pocket and took out her card before swiping it in the lock.
She stared at the lock as it flashed red and didn't unlock the door and so she repeated her actions two more times before putting her card back in her pocket and heading towards Siler's office for equipment.

'Hey Jack, you seen Sam anywhere?' Daniel asked as Jack sauntered into his office.
'No, any reason why I should have?' Jack asked suspiciously.
'No, no reason just she said she'd work with me on that artefact in her lab, but when I got there it was all locked up' Daniel told him as Jack's face went completely white.
'Oh I'm a dead man!' He exclaimed quickly before running out of the lab in the opposite direction he came from, leaving Daniel utterly confused.

'So any ideas why it's not working?' General Hammond asked both Carter and Siler as they stood before his desk.
'Uh well Sir..' Siler started but was cut off by Sam quickly.
'No idea Sir, we assume it's juts a malfunction. The parts are already ordered and will arrive within the next few days. Until then, Colonel O'Neill has offered me the use of his office.' Sam lied through her teeth. As much as she hated Jack right now, she didn't want him to get in trouble for this. She smiled at Siler so he would understand why she cut him off before exiting the General's office and heading to see Colonel O'Neill and Feretti.

'Lou, Daniel said nobody was home' Jack explained as he sat at his desk, Feretti facing him.
With a knock at the door, the conversation broke apart as Jack bellowed 'Come in' in the general direction of the door.
'Ahh just the people I wanted to see!' Sam said smiling mischievously at them both, 'You see since I cannot access my lab, for some unknown reason, the General has instructed me to share your office Sir, and Feretti, Janet needs to see you in her office ASAP' Sam told them both as the awaited her anger. She smiled calmly, fooling the both, before dumping her folders on a chair near the door.
'Oh and Sir, the General asked me to get you to sign this' Sam said as she slipped the paper under his writing hand. Without reading it, as Sam had hoped, Jack put pen to paper and signed on the dotted line.
'There ya go Carter. You can have my desk as well I've got filing to do!' He said sarcastically as Lou made his way to the infirmary.

'You wanted to see me Jan?' Lou asked knowing what was coming.
'Yeh see Sam found ya. Can you hop on the bed please Lou, monthly physicals await.' She said with an evil grin, wondering how Sam was getting on.

'So whatcha doing Carter?' Jack asked trying to make general conversation but avoid mentioning her lab.
'Just scanning a copy of this to Janet' she said holding the document he had previously signed up in the air for him to see.
'Why? I thought it was for the General.' Jack said as he shoved another folder into his filing cabinet.
'Yeh well about that, I lied. Like you did about my lab door' Sam said and he stopped and turned to face her.
'Firstly I didn't lie I just didn't tell you and I only did it because you had my wallet, which by the way seems to be missing the home it had on Friday!' Jack said causing Sam to blush, 'So what did I sign. Please tell me it's not the rights to jab as many needles into my butt as possible!' He moaned as he sat down on the chair in front of his desk.
'No Sir' Sam said and smiled as she saved her work to disk and put her folder back onto the pile she had dumped on the chair.
'What then?' He asked not liking where this conversation was going.
'Well here is your copy of the contract Sir, which, you can read while I go grab lunch. Have fun' She said sweetly before patting him on the shoulder and heading to meet Daniel and Teal'c.

'Major Carter, did you succeed in your quest?' Teal'c asked as Sam sat down with him and Daniel.
'Oh yeah, he's reading it through now' Sam said and smiled before taking a bite of her jello.
'You do realize there is a chance us three might not make through this month' Daniel stated and Sam smiled nervously.
'Ah but we have the full backing of General Hammond don't we!' Sam said smugly and returned Daniels smile, 'He deserves this after all he's done to us and anyway, we've all been put on leave for the rest of the month come Friday so it'll be fun' She told him as the doors the commissary flung open.
'I think now would be the time to run' Daniel said as an angry O'Neill stomped over to the table.
'There is no way in hell Hammond could have agreed to this' He shouted in anger, 'A month of serving you three? Not a chance in hell!' Jack shouted as the whole of the canteen stared at him.
