--Jack's point of view--
He was angry, so angry he couldn't think, he stormed down corridors without even seeing the airman who jumped out of the way as he barreled past them. The only thing that managed to penetrate his anger, was Sam's despair at having him mad at her.
--Sam's Point of view--
She could feel Jack's anger radiating through her, she had always known that he could dangerous, but she knew that he could hurt anyone in a second when he was like this, even her, normally she would stay away it would be dangerous to go near him, but with him in her head she knew she wouldn't be able to rest until they had solved this.
Sam knocked tentatively on the door to Jack's office "Walter, I've said that I don't want to be disturbed" he growled, his anger so strong that he couldn't even tell that it was her. She stepped around the door, shutting it behind her, they didn't want the whole base knowing their personal business.
"Jack i'm sorry." Sam said, she couldn't get inside his head it was too turbulent at the moment. Jack sat in silence for several moments, the anger whilst still emanating from him in waves seemed to have calmed a little.
Pulling a mask across his face Jack became emotionless.
"I apologise for my actions before I was out of order. Now if that is all Carter?" Sam felt sick this was worse than him being mad, he was shutting her out completely, she wanted to argue but he was still her CO, she had to do as he said, then something her dad had said gave her a surge on hope, her and Jack would figure things out.
Jack' anger was hidden beneath a mask that gave him some control over the situation, and so Jack was able to feel when Sam gained hope from some hidden reserve, he also felt her resolve, she was not going to leave until they had sorted out what had happened.
"Have a seat Carter." Jack said knowing that she had just heard the mental struggle within him.
"Sir, I shouldn't have said what I did before, it wasn't my place..."
"You're wrong for once Carter, it was your place to comment, however it was the way you commented that I wasn't too impressed by," Jack was now calming down completely, Sam's presence nearly always had that effect on him, Sam sighed in relief.
Oh no Carter, you don't get out of it that easily.
I don't...sir?
No Carter, you have no right to speak to your CO in the way that you just did, however I think that we need to get off base and then we can talk about this.
Yes sir.
The two of them stood up and walked out of the mountain, then getting in Jack's truck.
