Jon forwarded the ship seven hours and he followed Pete to the meeting spot. Then he landed the ship and waited. When the car showed up, Jon got a video camera out and he cloaked himself then he walked off the ship since the back door was open and walked over to where Pete and the Trust agent was. He recorded the meeting, and then Pete's phone rang.
"It's her."
"Answer it!"
"Shanahan… Hi Sam… this Friday," then the guy nodded.
"Sure, how about I pick you up at six?… Eight? Sure!… Ok, I better get back to work," he said smiling.
"Ok, see you on Friday." Then he hung up.
"You should be an actor!" Pete laughed.
"Thanks."
"You know what to do."
"Yeah, I know."
"Good, call me later and let me know how it went."
"Sure."
He passed him a bag of white powder before they got into their cars and went their separate ways. Jon got back into the ship and he followed Pete back home. He parked his ship on the front lawn and he cloaked himself again before he got out. Then he quickly followed Pete inside.
He watched him take his jacket off and hang it up, then he walked down to his bedroom. While he was in there, Jon uncloaked himself and pulled the packet out of Pete's jacket. Then he got his hanky out and poured some of the powder on to it.
Then he put the packet back in the jacket pocket, folded up the hanky and put it in his pocket, cloaked himself and let himself out without letting Pete know that he was even there.
He worked his way to the jumper and got in and uncloaked himself. He started up the ship and left to go to see Hammond. He went to Hammond's house and landed the ship. He got off and went to the front door and knocked on it and waited. When the lights went on, he heard the door being unlocked and it opened.
"Jon, what are you doing here?"
Hammond let Jon in and he closed and locked the door. When they walked into the kitchen Jon turned and looked at him.
"Jon, what is it?" He pulled his hanky out and opened it to show Hammond.
"I think it's some sort of drug meant for Carter."
"Do you know what it is?"
"Nope, that's not all." He passed Hammond the video tape.
"I hope this will help, it's Shanahan's contact."
"Thanks, I'll get onto it in the morning."
"Ok well, I'm going to head off; he is seeing Carter on Friday night."
"Ok, I'll get this analysed. How am I going to return your hanky?"
"I'll drop by at 1900 on Friday in your office."
"I'll be waiting for you."
Then Jon walked to the door, opened it, walked out and over to where the ship was and got into it. George watched what happened then he heard a noise for few seconds and it was gone. He closed the door and locked it before returning back to his bedroom.
The next day he asked the lab to find out what drug it was then he went to his office to look at the tape and make copies of it. He was able to get a still picture of the guy and sent it to agent Barnett. He knew all he could do was wait so he carried on like nothing had happened.
Later that evening Hammond got an e-mail from agent Barnett. All there was, was a name. So he went into the NID files to check the guy out, when he saw that there was a red line through his file. Hammond knew that meant that he might be a rogue agent.
After he printed out the information and closed his laptop down, he looked over what he had till there was a knock on the door and a scientist was standing in the doorway with file in his hand.
"Doctor?"
"Sir, here is the results of the white powder you ask me to analyse." He passed him the file.
"What was it?"
"It was some sort of hypnoses drug and, even with the small amount, it was quite powerful."
"Can it be traced if it taken?"
"No, not in human body."
"What about someone like Major Carter?" He thought about it and nodded.
"Yes, it could, but I could test it to find out."
"Do it and let me know soon as you get the results."
"Yes sir... sir, do you want me to use Major Carter's blood?"
"Yes and no one must know about this."
"Sir?" he frowned.
"I mean no one, am I clear?"
"Yes sir!"
"Good, dismissed!" Then the doctor left.
Hammond looked over the report and he put it in one of his drawers and locked it. He knew all he could do was wait.
Two days later, the doctor walked into Hammond's office, closed the door and he walked over and passed him a file.
"Doctor?"
"After we last spoke I ran some tests, they showed that the drug is still in the blood after forty-eight hours."
"I see, anything else?"
"From the tests, the reason why it shows up in Major Carter's blood work is because of the protein marker and the naquadah that is in the Major."
"I see, well, thank you for testing the drug for me."
"Sir, is Major Carter in danger?"
"No, not at the moment. If there is nothing else, you're dismissed!"
"Sir, I don't know how long the drug will stay in Major Carter's system and there is no antidote for it."
"Ok, thanks for letting me know."
"Yes sir," then he walked out of the office.
Now that General Hammond knew what was going on, he was not happy with what had been happening and all he could do was wait.
On Friday evening, General Hammond was in his office reading a report when he heard the door close, he look up and saw Jon uncloak himself.
"George."
"Jon, I had the powder tested."
"And?"
Hammond passed him the files. He opened them up and read them. He was shocked when he saw the results. When he finished reading them, he closed them and passed them back.
"Thanks for showing me them."
"What are you going to do?"
"Follow them and hopefully stop him before he can drug her."
"Good luck!"
"Thanks, I better get going, Shanahan is picking Carter up in an hour."
"Ok, good luck!"
"Thanks, I'll be in touch."
"Oh, here!"
He opened a drawer and pulled out Jon's hanky and passed it to him.
"Thanks!"
He pocketed it then he cloaked himself before he opened the door and left. He went to the mess hall for something to eat. Since there was no one around, he uncloaked himself and opened a container he had with him. He put three slices of pumpkin pie, two slices of cake into it and closed it. Then he picked up some fruit and put it into a bag then put it into a back pack. Then he got four bottles of water.
Once done in the back of the mess hall, he quickly cloaked himself and walked over to the door just as it opened and an airman walked in. He was able to sneak out and headed to where the ladder was. Then he worked his way up to the top and out and over to where the ship was.
Once he was on it, he uncloaked himself and sat down and opened his back pack and had something to eat and drink before he started up the ship and headed to Sam's place.
When he got there he waited for Pete to show up. When he did and picked up Sam, he followed them to a restaurant. When Pete parked his truck, Jon found a good safe spot to park the ship. Then he cloaked himself before leaving. He followed them inside and he stood there listening to them talk. He could tell Sam was putting on a brave face.
Half way through the evening Sam needed to use the rest room, so while she was away, Pete slipped the powder into her drink. Jon wasn't happy about that and when Pete was distracted by a phone call, while keeping an eye out for Sam, Jon quickly changed the glasses around since they both were full.
When he finished with the phone call, Sam returned and sat down. They talked while finishing their dinner and drinks. They talked for an hour before Pete paid for their dinner and then they left to go back to her place.
Jon followed them out then he ran over to the ship and got in and uncloaked himself. He started it up and followed them back to Sam's place. When they got there, Jon saw Teal'c's truck. He saw him on the cell phone and knew that he would be calling Jack. When Teal'c hung up, he sat there and waited.
Jon turned to see Pete walking Sam to the door. Sam opened the door and turned to see how close Pete was. He went to lean forward when Sam's cell phone rang, so she answered it
"Carter… yes sir… ah, can you come and get me, I had a bit to drink tonight," then she giggled.
"Yes sir!" Then she hung up.
"Sorry Pete, I've been called back to work. Colonel O'Neill is on his way here to get me."
"Oh, ok, well night Sam"
"Night Pete." He leaned forward and gave her a kiss before he turned around and walked down to his truck.
Sam walked in and closed and locked the door, and then she went and got changed. Then she waited for Jack to come and get her. When he showed up, she left her house and walked down and got into his truck, then they left.
"How was the date?"
"It was ok. Dinner was nice and he ordered white wine."
"Ah," then he looked in the rear vision mirror.
"Well Sam, plan 'B'."
"Plan B, sir?" She looked at him.
"The Base. I was planning to take you back to my place for a few hours, but Shanahan is following us, so Plan 'B' is to go to the base."
"Ok!"
"Sam, we will stay there for an hour then we can head back to your place."
"Good idea sir."
"So, got any plans for tomorrow?"
"Well, tomorrow night is poker and pizza night."
"Ah yes, are you looking forward to that?"
"Yep!"
Fifteen minutes later they arrived at the SGC. Since they had an hour to kill, Sam had an idea while going down to level twenty-two.
"Sir, since you don't know what you're going to do for an hour, you could start on your report from our last mission."
"I was going to start that on Monday." Sam smiled.
"If you start on your report while in my lab and I'm happy with what you have done, I'll buy you an ice cream on the way home." Jack smiled
"Ok, Deal!" They shook hands.
Sam and Jack went to her lab where they both started on their reports. When Sam looked at her watch she noticed that they had been here for an hour and a half so she saved what she had and closed her laptop down. Jack looked up at her.
"Why did you close your laptop?"
"We've been here for an hour and a half and I did promise you ice cream."
"True."
So he saved his work and closed his laptop. Then they left after Sam turned off the lights and they walked side by side to the elevators. A few minutes later they were in Jack's truck headint into town to an ice cream shop that was open late on Friday night during the summer months.
Jack saw that Pete was following them, but he wasn't going to let Sam know since he had made her happy in the last ten minutes. When they got close to the shop, there were cars outside and they could see that it was busy. So, after Jack found a spot and parked his truck, they both got out and walked over to the shop.
"They sure are busy tonight."
"Well, it is a warm night, sir."
"Sam, when we are alone and in public, it's Jack, ok?"
"Ok, Jack," she said smiling at him.
"Shall we?"
He opened the door for her and she walked in first and he followed. Once inside, they looked at the different ice creams that they had and talked till they were up at the counter.
Jack ordered what he wanted, then Sam did. Then she paid for them and they watched and waited till the guy passed them their ice creams and said good night to them before they managed to work their way to the door and outside.
They both walked while enjoying their ice creams and even tried each other's. When they saw a park bench, they sat down and talked some more till they finished their ice creams.
"That was great," Sam said patting her stomach.
"Yes, it sure was. Next time I'm buying."
"Ok!"
"So, what time are you coming around tomorrow night?"
"Usual time, why?"
"Well, can you make it earlier? There's something I want to show you."
"Sure."
"Shall we head back?"
"Ok."
They got up and walked back to Jack's truck and got back in it. Then he drove Sam back to her place. When they got there, they got out and walked up to Sam's front porch where Sam opened the door.
"Would you like to come in for a drink Jack?"
"Not tonight Sam, perhaps another time."
"Ok, well, night Jack."
"Night Sam, see you tomorrow then."
"Ok."
Sam watched Jack turn around and walk back to his truck and get in. Then he left to go home. Sam walked in and closed and locked the door. She decided to go to bed and get some sleep since it had been a long day.
