Chapter 4: Tok'Ra Surprise
Sam turned her car off and pressed her forehead against the cool steering wheel.
After she had gotten the page from the SGC Sam had slowly and reluctantly moved from the bench to her car and driven towards base. It had given her time to formulate a plan of attack. First she had to tell General Hammond, then she would tell Jack, then the other half of SG1 would have to know, and finally Janet will want to know the details. That was the easy part; it was the backlash she feared. And that she wouldn't think about.
She sat back and pushed her hands through her hair. One more minute, her cell phone rang, guess not. Looking down the caller id flashed Jack's name, peering out of her windshield the man in question was pacing in front of the security checkpoint. She had to smile he looked so good. Grabbing her bag she walked up behind him and placed her hands over his eyes.

He had been trying to reach her for the past few hours. Either the cell phone was out of battery or she was out of service, but he knew Carter and she never allowed her battery to get low never mind empty. Okay, sure he didn't have to keep calling her every 2 minutes but it gave him something to do. He hadn't seen her since she left the house this morning and that was almost five hours ago. He would definitely be grilling her later. Suddenly he felt cool soft hands cover his eyes, even if he hadn't been able to recognize her hands or her smell there was really only one person brave enough to come up to him and put hands over his eyes.
"Daniel?" His guess was rewarded by a giggle. "Come on spacemonkey, Sam will be here any minute.." He turned around and put on a mock shock face. "Oh, hi Sam." He looked around as if searching for Daniel. She slapped his shoulder playfully and he rolled his eyes. "Okay fine, hug?" She placed her hands on her hips and stared down her nose.
"Jack" she whined sweetly, stepping forward she placed her hands on his shirt smoothed it out and and patted his chest, "you had better stay away from Daniel honey" she looked him straight in the eye, "he is so mine." Using her left hand she patted him again, just a little harder this time. She pivoted and scanned her security pass before pressing the elevator down button, devilish smile still playing on her lips.
Taking a deep breath Jack smiled after his.. what? Girlfriend, lover, 2IC, finance, no not yet anyway, he shook his head and grinned jogging after her. He asked the question that had been bothering him since he arrived at the SGC. "So where did you go?" He looked her over. She was wearing the same jeans, aqua shirt, and black sweater that she had left the house in but there was an air of joy and mystery about her. When she looked over at him and smiled her eyes shot jolts of electricity threw his body. Sweet.
"I had…" now or never she told herself, taking a deep breath she smiled "a special doctors appointment." Jack raised his eyebrows.
"For five hours?" Sam ducked and shook her head.
"Well her office is probably a good hour away, and there was at least a twenty minute wait. God I hate waiting for doctors you know its probably one of the most annoying things and then the one time you show up late the nurse shoots you with hate ray beams." The elevator pinged and they stepped in, he pressed level 28.
"Yeasureyoubetcha… well Hammond has requested SG1's presence right away. We were just waiting for you. Apparently the Tok'ra have a mission for us…" He trailed off as she shook her head. "No? Why not?" Sam took a deep breath, okay so maybe I'll tell Jack first.
"I .. I.. uh" The elevator pinged again and the doors opened to show Daniel pacing with Teal'c standing impassively behind him. Jack stepped out first, hands in the pockets of his jeans, he made his way over to the rest of their group.
"Look what the cat dragged in." He removed his right hand just long enough to wave towards the elevator. Teal'c raised an eyebrow.
"I see no felines O'Neill." Sam shook her head and exited the elevator towards the group.
"I hear that the Tok'ra have a mission for us?" she asked, Teal'c nodded impassively as Daniel crossed his arms and began rocking on his feet. Sam looked around happily. "So where's my dad, I have some really great news to share with him." She looked up from under her eyelashes. The three men all made eye contact; they hadn't heard any good news lately. Jack was wearing an especially worried look in his eye, not that he didn't want Sam to tell Jacob about them of course he wanted the entire galaxy to know but she have to do it now. Right before a mission! That man probably knew a hundred was to kill him and make it look like an accident. Jack turned to face her, placing a hand on her shoulder. "You have news?" Daniel cleared his throat to interrupt them.
"We have a problem." Sam slowly pulled her eyes away from Jack's.
"What's the problem Daniel?" Jack kept his body in her direction and his eyes on her face.
"Jacob's not here." Sam tensed, folding her arms tightly under her chest and Jack turned to face the bearer of bad news.
"What's' wrong? Is he alright?" The worry had seeped through her barriers to color her eyes and voice. Daniel waved away her question.
"Yes, yes. I'm sure he's fine, he just isn't here." Jack rolled his eyes, this was so Daniel, just blow it out of proportion.
"Then what is the problem Daniel?" Daniel looked down at his feet.
"The problem in who they sent instead."
"Unless they sent that Martouf guy there is no problem, you just need to relax." Suddenly Jack's eyes narrowed. "Did they send Martouf?" It was Sam's turn to roll her eyes. Starting towards the briefing room she preoccupied herself with the true problem facing her.

Jack waited just a second after Sam had left before crossing his arms and leaning in. "Seriously, they didn't send that punk right?" Daniel let out a huge sigh.
"No Jack, the Tok'ra representative is not Martouf." Jack relaxed slightly.
"Okay, we're good then. " He nodded a couple times before running to catch up with Sam.
000
Daniel turned to face Teal'c who had remained silent throughout the entire thing. "Thanks for the help Teal'c. You know just as well as I do the danger they are walking into, why didn't you say something?" Teal'c just raised an eyebrow, what a shock, and smiled a little..
"We tried our best to warn them DanielJackson. In addition though I believe that the coming briefing will undoubtedly be an entertaining one." Daniel just shook his head, for a retired first prime Teal'c still had an awfully sadistic side. Silently the two men made their way to the debriefing in which, Teal'c was correct, there would undoubtedly be entertaining breifing.

As soon as Jack caught up with Sam he swung an arm around her shoulder. "So you want to tell me this great news?" Sam chuckled, after looking quickly into the glass from their destination and giving a glance up and down the corridor she pinned Jack against the door of the debriefing room.
"Well," she started, leaning seductively against him, "it had a little something to do with my errand this morning." She suckled on his ear lop a little and kissed her way down his throat before twisting the knob on the door allowing him to fall into the room. Laughing Sam offered him her hand up from the floor only to be shocked into brain freeze when the Tok'ra representative turned around. Daniel's right we do have a problem. When Jack pulled on her offered arm she came tumbling down on top of him. The loud clatter finally brought General Hammond out of his office just as Daniel and Teal'c entered oppositely. The other four occupants of the room just stared at the couple on the floor.
Jack had Sam pinned beneath him and looked to be whispering in her ear and Sam's flushed face was only out shocked by the way she had her arms and legs wrapped around his back.
Oh boy, Hammond thought, this was going to be a long debrief.
