Disclaimer: I don't own 'em, somebody else does. They have money, I don't, so don't sue.

Author's Notes: Jackfic challenge. Use "frosty" in a sentence. This turned into a double drabble, the first from me in General Hammond's POV. Thanks to Jolene for the invaluable beta help and to Cokie for the nudge to write again. It had been too long, but what can I say? glares at real life and cackles manically

"General, if I may," Jack interrupted.

General Hammond leveled a frosty glare at O'Neill, "No, you may not."

His icy demand shifted to the SF's, "Take them back to the lockup."

"For what it's worth, I'm ordering you to cooperate," his words lingered in the air – verbal icicles – a reprimand to all involved.

The armbands had proven dangerous, to Jack and his team. And to the discipline George expected from them. They'd become loose cannons. His anger was a thin veneer that concealed his burgeoning fear for their survival.

Anise's experiment would kill them. And that certainty fueled his ire.
