"I knew it!" George wiped his brow. "Do what ever you have to, just get them back to the base." He said haning up.

Sam and Jack snuck out to the backyard. Jack had kept some untrimmed bushes, and they carefully maneuvered around them to keep from being spotted.

"Sir, one problem, once we get out of your backyard how are we going to get anywhere else,
we don't have a car, and it's gotta be at least 95 degrees out here."

"I've got a few friends that can help out, don't worry about it Carter."

They got out of his backyard and into an ally. Jack looked around as if deciding where to go, they took a right down the ally, and came to the back of an apartment complex. Jack knocked on one of the doors, and a young nerdish college student came to the door.

"Jack! What are you doing here? You don't get tutored until Friday."

"Tutored?" Sam asked surprised. The kid looked at her and froze.

"Oh my word, you're. . . you're Major Sam Carter! Jack, you said you worked with her, but I thought you were just pulling my leg!"

"Hi, I guess." She said nervously.

"Jack do you know that she is the leading expert on theoretical astrophysics!" The kid asked dumbfounded.

"Carl, calm down, she's just Sam."

"Well, Sam it is an honor to meet you. I'm studying Astrophysics and I've always admired your work above all others." He said as formally as he could.

"Uh Thanks, Carl."

"Listen Carl, Carter and I are in a bit of trouble right now."

"Say no more, Jack, step inside." He said clearing the way into a dark apartment. There was equipment and books everywhere. Carl definitely had no friends. "What were you thinking of to get you out of this alleged trouble."

"Well I figured we could hide out here, if they come looking for us I'm sure there's some place we can get to where they won't find us."

"Sure, of course, stay as long as you like, I've got class in three hours, but I'll show you where to hide when I leave." Carl said hitting the books.

"You have a tutor!" Sam whispered.

Jack nodded.

"Why?"

"You are always going on about how things work, and I never understand any of it,
so I got a tutor to help. Believe me it wasn't easy, I'm paying through the nose for this guy, he probably couldn't even live here except for me, but hey as long as it's working." Jack admitted.

"Sir you don't need to understand my explanations, I like you just the way you are,
with all your silly antics." She smiled tenderly.

Carl sighed; they had an audience.

"Carl?" Jack questioned.

"Nothing Jack, uh I better leave for my class now. . . "

"but it's in three hours. . . " Jack shrugged.

"Uh, yeah, but I forgot to do some research at the library, so I gotta go. There's a crawl space under the apartment, you can get to it from the closet floor." He pointed to the closet, be safe you two. Don't worry Jack I won't charge you for this." He winked and took off.

"You know sir, it doesn't really matter if we get caught. It's just gonna start all over again."

"Carter, it's the principle of the thing, it's just not right."

Sam rolled her eyes.

They heard shouting outside. They crept into the closet and found the opening to the crawl space. They snuck in, and closed the opening behind them.

The men knocked for about ten minutes.

"I don't think any one's home", said a rough voice.

"What they don't know won't hurt them." Said a squeeky voice. The lock rattled, and clicked.

"Don't mess anything up, just look for the aliens."
