Under the microscope - part 14

It's nearly over ... only one more chapter after this. Enjoy!


S - Mickey?

M - Cat! How did it go?

S - It was horrible. He practically accused me of sleeping with the colonel.

M - That asshole!!! Was he not listening to what I was yelling at him earlier?

S - He thinks that although the incident on P8Y 252 may have been necessary, there's still a lot of suspicion that the colonel and I are too close, and he feels he has to get to the bottom of it.

M - Did you yell at him?

S - No. I got very very angry, but I didn't yell, I just shook with rage.

M - That's you all over.

S - What's that supposed to mean?

M - You don't blow up in front of people, you bottle it up and hold it in and simmer inwardly.

S - Whatever.

M - You do! That's why the guys have only seen you cry a handful of times in all the years you've known them.

S - That's just cos I'm not a crier.

M - Nonsense. I've seen you cry twice in the last two days.

S - Stuff's been happening. I've been acting like a stupid little kid, I know.

M - Don't be silly, you've been acting like a perfectly normal human being. For once.

S - I need to go Mickey, I have to tell the colonel when his appointment is.

M - Okay, I'll catch you later.

S - Bye.

S - Colonel?

J - Carter! How did it go?

S - Badly. He hates us.

J - Bastard.

S - Your turn's at 1600 hours.

J - Yay. Can't wait.

S - Just don't kill him, sir.

J - Would I?

S - Mickey nearly hit him. And she's a desk jockey.

J - A spunky desk jockey with a very short temper. And a soft spot for you and me.

S - Fair enough. Just bear in mind that sending him back to Washington with a black eye would not work in our favour.

J - Duly noted.

S - Good luck sir.

J - Thanks Carter. I'll let you know how it goes.

S - Yes sir.

J - Team, check in.

D - Here Jack.

M - Yo Chingy.

S - Here sir.

T - I am here, O'Neill.

J - Mickey, you are a certifiable fruitcake.

M - Just trying to lighten the mood.

J - Oookaaaaay. I just got back from my interrogation, I'm in a very bad mood, but I think we're okay.

S - We are?

J - I have a good feeling.

D - Just a feeling?

T - Woolsey has no evidence, nor indeed any statements that implicate O'Neill and Major Carter.

M - So we won?

J - I don't know yet. I'm just saying, I have a good feeling that we might be nearing the end, and we're okay.

S - Thank God for that.

J - Amen.

M - So, pizza?

J - Pizza sounds good.

D - I could go for that.

T - I am quite hungry.

S - I'll bring the beer.
