"I have a great idea." Clair said. Clair followed Daniel through the crowded airport. Jack and Teal'c would be meeting them to drive them to the police station. Clair spotted a Dunkin' Donuts. Her plan was brilliant.

"What are you thinking?" Daniel asked. He was willing to think about anything other than having to take Clair to the police. He knew what the reality of the situation was though, but he was going to remain positive.

"Let's bring the cops donuts. Maybe if I bring them donuts it will sweeten their disposition." Clair smiled. At this point Clair would be willing to try anything. A little bribery never hurt, it always seemed to work for her father.

"You're going to bribe them?" Daniel wondered. He almost wanted to laugh. Leave it to Clair to come up with an idea like that. "Okay why not." he said.

Clair led them to the Dunkin' Donuts. Luckily there wasn't a line when they got there. Daniel didn't know when Jack would be showing up.

"Hello there, how may I help you?" greeted the cashier. The name tag indicated that her name was Wanda.

Clair stood behind Daniel and wrapped her arms around him. She rested her chin on his shoulder. "We need a dozen glaze and four Mocha Lattes." she ordered.

"Of course right a way. You're total will be $18.67." Wanda smiled. She held out her hand waiting for the payment.

Clair slid her hands down Daniel's chest and reached into his pocket pulling out his wallet. She took out the credit card and handed it to the cashier. The cashier swiped it and handed it back. Clair placed it back into the wallet and put it Daniel's shirt pocket. The cashier left to help place their order.

"Four coffees?" Daniel inquired. He had an idea, but with Clair you never knew. Just like with the little charade she's pulling right now. Daniel had half a mind to pry her off of him. That was the problem though he only had half a mind at the moment, because the other half saw fit to take a vacation south.

"You see there's one for me, you, Jack, and Teal'c." she explained. She hoped that she could get Daniel's friends to like her. She wanted them to know that she cared about Daniel just as much as they do.

"How thoughtful." Daniel said. He was glad when the cashier came to the counter with their order. Daniel thanked the cashier and took the box of donuts with the drink tray stacked on top of it. Clair hooked her arm around his as they left.

"It is very thoughtful isn't it." Clair smiled. She had feeling though that she was in trouble. It was worth it though.

"So what was that all about?" Daniel wondered. He wasn't really expecting a strait answer, but he wanted to hear her explanation. He had a feeling it would be interesting.

"I don't know what you are talking about." Clair feigned innocence. She hoped she was convincing. She just couldn't help herself it was Daniel after all. It was his fault for being so damn sexy.

"Okay so it's going to be like that, is it?" Daniel asked. Clair could play innocent all she wanted it wasn't going to work on him. He took his coffee from the tray and took a sip.

"Yep, that's exactly how it going to be." Clair agreed. She took a sip of her coffee. She could at least tell that Daniel wasn't mad. Just being near him made her feel less nervous about having to talk to the police.

Daniel noticed Jack walking towards them. Daniel began to gather up their bags. Seriousness began to set back in again.

"Hi Colonel O' Neill." Clair said. She took one of the coffees and handed it to him. She smiled her best megawatt smile.

"Thanks." Jack said. He took the cup and sipped. He could tell that this girl was trying to butter him up, but he didn't know why. He noticed the box of donuts and raised an eyebrow.

"They're for the police officers." Clair said. She smiled again. She was doing her best to not let her nerves show.

"How nice. We have to get going" Jack stated. He hoped for Daniel's sake he wouldn't let this girl cloud his judgment.

Clair took the donuts and the coffee for Teal'c and followed Jack and Daniel. She knew that she was about to go out of the frying pan and into the fire. Every step she took just brought her closer to that reality.

"Daniel I'm not sure exactly what's going to happen, but just be prepared." Jack warned. He didn't want Daniel to get his hopes up on this girl. Even the devil was a beautiful angel.

"Don't worry about me Jack I'm going to be fine." Daniel assured. He knew that Jack was just worried about him in his own way. SG-1 was like a family to him.

They crossed the parking lot to find Teal'c waiting in the car. Teal'c opened the door to let Clair in as Daniel and Jack but the bags in the trunk. Clair smiled and handed Teal'c his cup of coffee.

"Thank you Clair de Lune." Teal'c spoke. Teal'c didn't know what to make of Clair the only thing he knew is that she had been someone important to Daniel.

"You're welcome Teal'c." Clair beamed. She leaned back as Daniel and Jack got into the car. She moved over to give Daniel some room as he joined her in the backseat. Jack got into the drivers seat and buckled up. The cars engine roared to life. Clair looked out the window as the car sped out of the parking lot.

"Don't be nervous Clair." Daniel offered. He placed his hand over hers where it rested on the seat in the space between them. He really wished Clair didn't have to go through this. He absentmindedly brushed his thumb along her knuckles.

"I'll be okay I think." Clair assured. She focused all of attention on the feeling of Daniel's hand on hers. As long as Daniel held her hand she could take on the world. The drive to the Chicago PD was going to seem like the longest ride ever, but this was the point of no return for Clair.
