"It can't be, Sir please not Alex" she begged
"I'm sorry Sam" Sam visibly pulled herself together hiding her emotions, and failing miserably
"When will she arrive?" her voice was tight not letting any emotions seeping through
"Today"
Sam shook her head this wasn't happening, not happening, lalala, unfortunately it didn't work
"I have orders from the chief of staff for her to join SG1 on your mission, which will be delayed till tomorrow" he said sympathetically as her eyes locked onto his
"Sir please, you have got to be joking" she asked desperately her façade failing instead she began pacing up and down flustered
"I'm sorry Sam but I have my orders and you have yours" he shook his head wishing there was more he could do, he knew the Carters for a long time and knew of the tension between the sisters, he'd been there last time it had exploded helping to pick up the piece's.
"Sir, I wish to hand in my resignation then, effective immediately I have enough leave" she said pleading with him to let her, he shook his head
"Sam I can't let you do that,"
"Sir why not?" her eyes betrayed the despair she was feeling
"You're too valuable to the program, to earth" he reminded her
"I can't work with her, Sir I can't please don't make me!" she begged her voice bordering on hysterical, General Hammond shook his head the brave Major Carter only scared by her own sister,
"Give it a trial period of 3 weeks if you still can't get along I will let you go that very minute" he promised hoping he wouldn't have to,
"Ok Sir, I guess I don't have a lot of choice do I?" she shook her head looking miserable
"Not really major" he said signalling the conversation was closed she went to leave, he caught her wrist
"For what its worth I'm sorry" She smiled weakly them both knowing it wasn't enough, words weren't going to help in this situation
