Chapter 32: Lose End
Correction courtesy of RGFiz, Thank you Sir. My previous portrayal was way off. this one is how an actual arrest of a CSPD officer would happen. He also stated that Pete would not be arrested at the airport. For story reasons i am going the airport route, speed things up a bit.
0812hrs: Colorado Springs International Airport... Either by fate or coincidence Pete and Jessie exited the plane last along with a few members of their wedding party. They exited hand in hand completely oblivious to the world. Off to the side was a man and women in suits along with two CSPD officers. their friends left the happy newly weds to themselves while wondering what the cops were doing there. The IAD detectives walked up to the newly weds with serious faces. "Detective Pete Shanahan, I'm Officer Rolfing. This is my partner Officer Blakely. We're with Internal Affairs." the pair informed the couple. "...behind us is Detectives Wade and Wright."
"I know who you are. your the ones that make honest cops lives miserable." Pete responded in an cold tone. "Honey, why are Internal Affairs wanting to talk to you?" Jessie asked trying to hold back tears. "Babe, don't cry. its going to be okay! Trust me..." he said holding her close.
"You heard my wife...why are you here?" Pete asked coldly. "Detective Shanahan, you know we can't tell you that. Cooperate with us and it will be that much easier. "Detective, please raise your arms so Detective Rolfing can frisk you." Blakely told him in a no-nonsense tone. "Ms. Shanahan take a step over here with these two detectives.
Detective Rolfing approached Pete giving him a quick smirk then went blank. Detective Rolfing would've been a model with that curvy figure but liked police work better. Pete remembered frisking Rolfing in her apartment about a month ago. That frisking took all night and part of the morning he thought to himself.
"Put your arms out Detective Shanahan and no funny business." she said thoroughly frisking him. Rolfing laid out a couple of pocked knives, keys and his wallet out on the table. "He's clean Blakely, put your hands behind your back so i can cuff you." Pete complied putting on an act of being really mad. He was mad but having Tammy near him like this just brought back fun memories.
"He didn't do anything wrong and you arresting him...stop it, stop it!" she yells at Detective Rolfing. "Jessie it going to be fine. They are going to take me down to the precinct to read me my rights and book me. Then ask me some pointless questions." Pete explained to her then continued. "Just go tell my dad and mom. They will know what to do. Can I at least kiss her good bye Detective Rolfing?" Tammy looked at Blakely getting a nod of approval.
"Hey babe, its going to be fine. Just do as I asked, okay." he said then kissed her passionately. "I will, just come home to me." she pleads. " I will babe." Pete says as he led off to the emergency exit. "If you come with us ma'am..." Officer Wade says as Officer Wright picks up thier carry on bags. The two walked Jessie Shanahan out of the secured area.
Is the Potato Head getting what he deserves or is it a ruse?
0835hrs: Holding Cells SGC..."Don't worry major. I'll get to the bottom of this. I have no doubt that SG-1 is somehow behind this. They're so pompous thinking they're the best team. Anyone who tries to prove otherwise gets targeted." Colonel Edwards told Major Rollins. "I agree with you. I bet Major Carter framed me somehow. She's afraid I'd take her place as smartest scientist." She replied caressing her CO's hand through the bars. Who says you got to limit your options she thought. Her time spent with Dr. Chase was enjoyable as her commanding officer. Both men could take her places by virtue of their positions. Men were so gullible she thought to herself. Jennifer used her looks to the full advantage. "Just remember not to talk unless your JAG lawyer is present. You have rights that SG-1 can't trample on." He reminded his lover of 2 years. "I will honey. I have no intention of doing otherwise." She said with false endearment. "By the way how did you get past the guards? General Hammond gave orders stating that I couldn't be seen by anyone." Major Rollins asked honestly. "I convinced the general to let me see you. I told him that you deserved some contact." Edwards replied squeezing her hand wishing he could do more. "The others send their regards. We'll all go to bat for you if needed Jen." Rollins laughed inside her head. If these fools knew the truth they'd flip. Her grandfather had straightened her out on several things. Jeffery knew all about Col. O'Neill and Major Carter's love affair. He recruited her to get details not readily available to him. Jennifer never believed that Major Carter was actually dating that idiot Shanahan.
The cell block door opened revealing a marine with a tray of food. "Col. Edwards Sir!" The young solider spoke not sure what to do. He wasn't able to salute so he just stood there. "Lance Corporal Burns, I'll take that. You're dismissed." Edward told the marine gruffly. "Yes Sir Colonel Edwards." He said handing over the tray of food. Lance Corporal Burns choose to ignore what he saw. Crossing Col. Edwards was not a wise thing to do since he was in charge of physical training. Burns heard horror stories from those that crossed him.
0912hrs: General Hammonds Office... "The Asgard High Council approved of Colonel O'Neill's idea!" George said completely surprised. "They did General Hammond. We cannot properly enforce the PROTECTED PLANETS TREATY due to our Replicator problem." Thor said pausing briefly. "Your race, the fifth race, has come far in a short time. We have consulted with the Nox on this. They agree that despite being very young you have great potential." He spoke with great pride. "Well I'll be damned...I didn't think there we had a snowballs chance in hell." The general spoke smiling wide. "I do not understand General Hammond. How is it possible for snow to form in such hot temperatures?" The little gray alien asked blinking several times. George let out a laugh that perplexed Thor. "It's a expression of disbelief." He explained after regaining control. "I understand general. You use phrases similar to O'Neill." Thor replied.
"Speaking of the colonel how is he doing Thor." The little grey man smiled if that was possible. "O'Neill is completely healed. When he awakens in 3 of your hours O'Neill shall feel young again." He explained with complete assurance. "O'Neill is very important to the Asgard race as is Major Carter." Thor added for good measure. Perplexed why his god-daughter was important as well he asked his friend. "Why is that Thor?" the little alien looked at the general like he had no clue then answered. "Major Carter will marry O'Neill having offspring that will save not only the Asgard but the universe." The Asgard commander informed the general matter of factly. George almost dropped his coffee cup at Thor's declaration. "Thor...are you 100% sure about this. I mean they aren't even dating yet." He asked not understanding how Thor found out about the two officers admissions of love. "There is an Asgard prophecy concerning O'Neill and Major Carter. They will marry within the one of your years." Thor replied completely sure of himself. George wasn't all that shocked about their being a prophecy. He was just kind of surprised that it was specific to his best two officers. "Do you have a specific date when they'll wed?" he asked hoping to get an insider tip. "The prophecy is not that specific but it does mention white precipitation know to you as snow." Thor answered blinking several times then continued. "Please have CMS Harriman put me down for November 30th (I'm guessing it's a Saturday or Sunday)." He said as a 2 oz. Gold bar appeared on the general's desk. "Um... I'll have Walter get right on it. Thor. How did you know about the base pool on the two?" George asked turning the bar of gold around in his hands. Thor's sudden interest in gambling made him wonder if the Asgard wasn't holding back information. "I'm not at liberty to revel that information General Hammond." He answered. George got the feeling that Thor was somehow smirking. "You've been hanging around Colonel O'Neill too long my friend." He said with laughter. "That is what the Asgard High Council has told me recently." This caused George to laugh even harder confusing the little grey alien more. 'Humans are hard to understand at times' he thought to himself.
Regaining control George replied back. "They both deserve happiness. I believe they'll get it sooner than later. We got off track a bit Thor. When will you transfer your un-used ships start?" Thor sat up straighter then pressed a few buttons on his control pad. Two ships appeared as holograms. "This ship is a Dreadnought Battleship. It's an O'Neill class headed this way now. It will arrive in the next couple of hours. The ship I'm on is a heavy Asgard Cruiser converted for Tau'ri. Both ships are gifts to SGCOM. The other ships are being made space worthy. I have also been instructed by the council to formalize the treaty. Once done the 'details will be hammered' out as O'Neill says." He finished blinking some more. "I'm flattered Thor. How many ships are you giving us?" George asked so he'd have an exact number for CLB. "There are 379 ships total General Hammond in total." The general almost fell out of his seat hearing how many there was. "These ships would greatly increase the SGCOM's reach and power. Earth would finally be safe from the Goa-uld thanks to you. Thank you very much Thor." He replied.
The general thought about Col. O'Neill's other ideal, creating a Federation of Planets. His second can claim not being a SyFy fan all he wants. "You are very welcome General Hammond. The Asgard race is in your debt. These ships are a thank you for all that you have done for us." He replied honestly. "The Nox will join in the treaty discussions once I contact them. There is a certain way things need set up. Would you put me touch with President Hayes? Once everything is ready we can proceed." He said. "I can do that for you now Thor. The president will be delighted to hear from you." George replied still astonished at what just happened. "One last thing before I call the President Hayes Thor. Colonel Maybourne needs a safe place to go. The NID are on to him. Do you have nice peaceful place for him?" the general asked. "I have just the place for Colonel Maybourne. It shall be an honor to help the cousin of O'Neill out." Thor replied with single blinked..."How did you know that?" George asked surprised. "I knew long ago general. My DNA scanners discovered the fact by you not informed of this information?" he asked. "No, apparently I'm the last to know these things." He mumbled under his breath while picking up the red phone.
"Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment."

A/N: The Potato Heads arrest by Internal Affairs is based on what I've seen on T.V. shows. If anyone knows different let me know so I can correct my mistakes for realism.
