"Hey so this is where you escaped to?" They were joined by one Jack O'Neill who ignored the tension in his typical method of changing the subject

"Yes Sir" Sam replied turning away from Alex and her team,

"Want to grab something from the commissionary?"

"Not right now Sir" Sam turned her attention back to the computer typing in some commands to look at Alex's programme

"I'd love to," Alex intervened standing next to Jack

"Well sure Carter 2" he joked

"Call me Alex I'm not military, and I'm Fisher not Carter" she smiled the Carter winning smile

"Okaaaay, Carter you sure you don't want to come" he asked

"No thanks Sir I got work to do" Sam turned to the computer ignoring Alex

Alex slipped her arm into Jack's as they walked along the corridor

"So do they do Jell-o?"

"Sure"

"I like red best"

"Me too"

"My sister Sammie likes blue how weird is that?"

"Very"

"And cake"

"Me too"

"Especially chocolate"

"Me too"

Their voices faded out Sam leant back on her chair and closed her eyes in relief that she had gone, finally

"You ok" she opened them at the voice and saw Daniel standing there she offered him a weak smile

"Not really" she admitted

"Why didn't you tell us you had a sister?" he voice had a hint of accusation in his tone and stance

"We hadn't spoken in 2 years before I joined the program it wasn't important, I never ever wanted to see her again anyway" she shrugged

"Why?"

"Because" his eyebrows rose in amusement

"Because?" he pressed

"We don't get on?"

"But she is family" he protested Sam remembered his history and knew what family meant to him,

"No she is blood related, you're my family" Sam told him

"You don't know how lucky you are to have a sister" he said softly she closed her eyes running through the memories, she wasn't lucky as far as she was concerned it was a curse,

"Sam what happened?" he asked realising things were as straight forwards as they appear

"Daniel I don't want to talk about it" her voice was low with more than enough hint of warning to even Daniel.

She closed the computer down and walked out, leaving the base and driving home way above the speed limit.
