Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep. The persistent sound just wouldn't stop, Sam groaned as she opened her eyes to work out what it was, relieved to see the grey ceiling of the SGC above her,

"Janet she is awake" she heard a voice call, it sounded like Daniel, moving her head she saw it was Daniel, accompanied by Jack and Teal'c, then she saw Janet coming over checking her pupils

"How do you feel?" She asked tenderly, Sam grimaced as the memories flooded her

"Did you get him, Kinsey please tell me you got him" Sam asked desperately

"We got him Carter" Jack said smugly, giving her a copy of the New York Times the headline of which stated Senator shamed and had a picture of Kinsey underneath,

"Good," Sam said happy that he had been caught

"He confessed to everything, Jess, Nick, Charlie, You" Daniel offered thinking back to how they had found Sam, unconscious with Kinsey standing over her a medical team preparing to operate on her, the fear of what just 5 minutes longer getting the authorisation and back up would have meant.

Janet coughed not subtly

"Sam how do you feel?" she repeated,

"Fuzzy" Sam replied

"Any pain, discomfort?" she asked watching Sam for the tell tale signs she was lying, Sam shook her head no, but Janet knew she would be lying and injected the pain killer anyway ignoring Sam's glare,

"Right visiting time is over" Janet said firmly,

"Bye Sam"

"See ya Carter"

And a head nod from Teal'c and they were gone, Hammond replaced them

"Good job Captain" he said commenting on how well she had handled being kidnapped

"Thank you Sir, thanks for reaching me so quickly"

"That was the easy part Captain, now I don't think they will try anything again not after we got the ring leaders but it is your choice as to whether you want the locator chip in or out." He offered

"Out" Sam told him without even thinking about it, after all it would prove to her they did still trust her partially, he nodded signalling Janet

"Dr if you would remove the tracking device" Hammond asked, Janet nodded ordering a nurse to prep the stuff she would need. Swiftly she removed it from Sam not missing the relieved look on her face as it was taken out, bandage covering the wound.

"Thank you" Sam said sincerely, Janet smiled

"Get some rest Sam," she ordered gently Sam obeying closing her eyes,

She woke up to the soft of soft whispers waking up see saw Jack waiting

"Hey Carter" Jack said sitting on the edge of her bed, Sam managed a weak smile

"Hey" Sam said, wondering why he was smiling so much that was until he produced a New York Times, the headline reading

CORRUPT SENATOR JAILED

Sam smiled again viewing the picture of Kinsey underneath

"What did you tell them?" Sam asked wondering if the press knew about her and Jess

"A lot, they know he is involved in kidnapping of an Airforce major and her daughter, trying to kill an elderly man and impersonating an Airforce officers dead son, the media are all over us, so it was thought that we need to get you and Jess away" Jack explained, Sam looking puzzled

"Where can we go?" She asked falling into their trap

"Well Carter there is a cabin in Minnesota and an officer who is willing to escort you" Jack offered,

"Fishing, Sir?" Sam asked with a smile as she realised she was now non-military

"If it leads to fishing" he said with a smile,

"Me and Jess" Sam confirmed

"Of course" Jack said sounding hurt she had even asked

"Good" Sam said wondering if it was possible to feel happier than she was feeling now,

"Great I'll go and tell Jess, Janet said you can be released tomorrow" Jack said happily both wondering where it may lead now Sam was no longer Airforce.

Sam lay back on the bed completing the last few weeks so much had happened and most for the better, a whole new life and a better one with Jack and Jess and she was excited

The end

I know the ending was kind of short but it was the best place to end

A final thank you to everyone who reviewed this, and merry Christmas everyone.
