Chapter fifteen

Early the next morning, Jack did make it up to Sam. They mad e passionate love four times before leaving to go to the base for the long debriefing, reports and for Sam to start working on the control room computers.

After the briefing, Teal'c left to go to the Land of the Light to tell Bra'tac and the others there the good news. Teal'c took the cargo ship to Peterson Air Force base, then an airman picked him up from there and took him back to the SGC the night before.

While Jack was doing his report, Sam was busy in the control room. At lunchtime, he pulled her away for some lunch for half an hour then she returned back to the work at hand. Jack was in Sam's lab typing up the report when there was a bright light that made Jack look up.

"General, sir!"

"Jack, how are you?"

"I'm good, just filing out my long report. Why, what's going on?"

"The President wants to talk to you!"

"When?"

"Now!" Jack looked at General Hammond.

"Ok."

He saved what he had then shut down his computer. Then he walked over and picked up the phone and pressed three numbers.

"Sergeant, this is O'Neill. I need to talk to Major Carter," then he waited.

"Hi Sam, how's it going? … ok well, General Hammond just beamed in. The President wants to see me… yes now… ok, I'll let you get back to it… ok, love you… have fun!"

Then he hung up with a smile on his face. Then he turned to Hammond.

"Ok, shall we? We don't want to keep the President waiting now, do we?" Hammond smiled.

"No, we don't!"

Jack walked over to him and he put his hand on Jack's arm, then pushed a button. Then they were at the White House.

Sam got everything up and working in the control room. After she got everything checked out, she went to the ladies room to relieve herself then she went to get a cup of coffee before going to her lab and starting to work on her report. Sam worked on the report for three hours when Jack walked into her lab.

"Hey, you hungry?" Sam looked up and smiled.

"Yeah, when did you get back?"

"Just now. I had a fair idea you would be here so why don't we get some dinner here before heading on home?"

"Sounds good!" Sam saved her report and closed down her laptop before following Jack out of the lab.

"How did it go with the President?"

"Good! We talked and negotiated and we both got what we wanted!"

"And that is?" They stopped and he turned to her.

"Well, the good news is that they accepted my retirement papers, but they had to be retyped."

"Why?"

"The President and Chief of Staff decided to promoted me to Brigadier General." Sam was shocked.

"When?"

"They're dating the promotion as of last Thursday, and now they accepted my retirement."

"That's wonderful news, Jack." She hugged and kissed him.

"I know, but they did offer me a job."

"Doing what?"

"Being the new leader of this place since Dr. Weir is in charge of the outpost. I said that I'd talk to you about it, so they're letting me talk to you. So, what do you think?"

"Well, what do you want to do Jack?"

"Well, you know me and paper work."

"I know, "she said smiling.

"I think you better tell me everything."

"Ok."

They start walking again while Jack told her about the talks he had with the President and the Chief of Staff. When they got to the mess hall, they got their dinner and sat down at one of the tables and started eating while Jack carried on talking about the talks he had.

Sam asked him some questions that he was able to answer. They talked for an hour after dinner before leaving to get changed and to go to Sam's house so she could check it over and grab some clothes then head to Jack's house.

While Jack was driving, he was also talking about the talks till they got to Sam's house. By that time, he told her that he was beamed back to the SGC. They walked up to her house and walked in side.

Sam checked her house over, watered her plants, checked her mail and messages. There was one from Pete asking her out to dinner and for her to call him. Sam looked at Jack.

"Call him, Sam."

"Jack, are you sure?"

"Trust me. Say that you can make it Saturday night."

"Ok, if you're sure?"

"I am!"

"Ok!"

Sam called Pete to let him know that Saturday was free. After she finished talking to him and had hung up, Jack pulled her into his arms.

"I want this over, Jack!"

"Don't worry, it will be." Then he gave her a kiss.

"Why don't you go and pack a few things?"

"Ok." She walked into her bedroom and packed a few things before they left for his place.

They went straight to bed where Jack was able to get Sam to forget about Pete and the upcoming date. They made passionate love for the next two hours before falling asleep in one another's arms.

The next morning when they showed up in the mess hall for breakfast they saw Major Davis talking to Daniel and Teal'c, so they walked over and sat down.

"Morning guys, what's happening this morning?" Jack asked.

"We're taking the agents back to Washington for interrogation."

"When are you leaving?"

"In couple of hours, why, sir?"

"Is Kinsey going as well?"

"Yes, why do you ask sir?" He turned and looked at Sam, who was looking at him.

"Jack, you're not going to do anything to him?"

"I know, but I've got an idea."

"Oh." Then he turned back to Major Davis.

"Major, are you going to be at these interrogations?"

"Yes sir, then I report to the President" Jack nodded.

"Ok, just before you go, I would like Teal'c to have a little chat with Kinsey." Teal'c raised an eye brow.

"Why, sir?"

"To get any info on Pete Shanahan." Teal'c thought about what Jack had said and gave him a nod.

"Is he the one who's been dating Major Carter?"

"Yes, he is!"

"But why?"

"He's been seen talking to some members of the Trust in the past few months and he's been dating Sam in that time."

"You think the Trust wanted him to date the Major? Why?"

"Who knows what they've got planned," Sam said.

"Ok." They talked about other things till after breakfast.

Sam went to her lab while Jack got the SF to bring Kinsey into the interrogation room where Teal'c and Major Davis were. Once he sat down, the two guards waited outside.

Daniel and Jack were watching and listening in the next room. Jack was wearing a head set so both Teal'c and Major Davis could hear any questions that Jack might want to ask.

"You're not going to get away with this, Major!" Teal'c sat down facing Kinsey while the Major was next to him.

"Why did you want the Trust to take over the base?"

"So we can kill off the goa'uld!"

"With what?"

"Symbiote poison!"

"Who else were you and your group going to kill?"

"All the Jaffa and Tok'ra!"

"The Tok'ra are allies!"

"To me, they are all goa'uld!"

While they were talking, Colonel Dixon walked into the room where Jack was. He turned to see who had walked in.

"Dr. Weir's heading this way. She knows about the interrogation."

"Thanks, bring her in here."

"Yes sir!" Then he walked out to get her. Jack turned to the monitor.

"What if all the goa'uld are dead and the Jaffa are free?" Teal'c asked for the first time.

"They still carry a goa'uld within them!"

"What are you going to do with the remaining SGC personnel if the Trust takes over?"

"Kill them all!"

"And the President?" Major Davis asked.

"Accidents happen."

"That son of a bitch!" Jack said.

Then Colonel Dixon and Dr. Weir walked into the room.

"Colonel, what's the meaning of this?" Daniel turned to look at the doctor.

"Vice President Kinsey just admitted to attempted murder of the President, we've got it on tape."

"What?" She was shocked and so was Dixon!

"Yeah, I think you better sit down!" Daniel got up so she could sit down and look at the screen.

"Are you saying that the Trust will do anything to kill the President so you take over?" Major Davis asked.

"Yes, that and the SGC!"

"Ask him about SG1," Jack said.

"What would you do about SG1 if your plan failed?"

"I've got my ways."

"Is that including blackmail?" Teal'c asked.

"Yes!"

"Ask him about Sam!"

"What did you have planned for Major Carter?"

"I'm not saying!" He sat back folding his arms across his chest.

"Major, leave the room. Teal'c, he's all yours," Jack said.

The Major stood up and walked out of the room leaving Teal'c there. The Major walked into the room where Jack was and watched. Teal'c leaned forward with his hands clasped together on the table while looking at Kinsey.

"I'll give Kinsey five minutes," Daniel said.

"Na, I think ten," Jack said.

"Want to make a bet Jack?"

"Ok you're on. Next get together you bring pizza, Chinese food, donuts, cakes and drinks."

"Ok, if I win you provide them."

"Ok!" They shook hands then turned back to the monitor.

"Do you think Teal'c can break him sir?" Major Davis asked.

"He will break. Teal'c is a very patient guy," Jack said. Then the door opened and closed. Jack turned and smiled.

"Hi, dad!"

"Jack, what's going on. Is that Kinsey?"

"Yep, he just admitted to a plot to kill the President."

"What did he say?"

"Accidents happen."

"You're joking?"

"Nope!"

"What's happening now?"

"Waiting for Kinsey to break. As you can see, he's getting nervous already and it's been," then he looked at his watch.

"Five minutes. Oh there's more, the Trust have symboite poison, according to Kinsey."

"What?" Jacob was shocked.

"Yeah, from what Kinsey just told us, if it is true, they must have enough to kill all the goa'uld, Jaffa and Tok'ra."

"They must have millions of tubes of it, but where?"

"Who Knows?"

"Teal'c asked him about Sam." They all waited and listened.

"What plans do you have for Major Carter?"

!?"

Teal'c leaned forward while looking into his eyes. Kinsey didn't like the way Teal'c looked and was starting to get worried.

"He's not going to say anything," Dr. Weir said.

Then Sam walked in and stood behind Jack.

"Any luck?"

"No, he's not telling us anything about plans for you. Any ideas Sam?" Sam thought about it.

"Daniel, headset!" Daniel passed Sam his headset and put it on.

"Thanks." Then she looked at the monitor.

"Teal'c, it's Major Carter. Listen, ask him about Detective Shanahan, find out why the Trust are interested in him."

"Sam?" Sam turned to her father.

"Trust me, dad," She said smiling. Then she turned to look at the monitor.

"Why is the Trust interested in Detective Shanahan?"

"We are not interested in him!"

"Teal'c, tell him we've got proof!"

"We have evidence that the detective has been seen with the Trust members. What do they want him to do?"

"You haven't got any thing. You're bluffing." Teal'c raised an eyebrow.

"I do not bluff or lie," Teal'c said.

They saw the look on Kinsey's face.

"Why is the Trust interested in him?"

Kinsey swallowed realising that they knew and knew that Teal'c had never lied in the eight years he had been on Earth.

"Yes, we know Detective Shanahan; we know he is a friend of Major Carter's brother and that he is in debt!"

"What were the Trust's plans for the Detective and Major Carter?"

"We help him get out of debt if he dates the Major."

"And then what?"

"Get him to marry her!"

"Why?"

"The Trust wants him to beat her up, let her suffer a slow painful death. Then, when O'Neill finds out, he would quit the SGC so he could go looking for the detective so he could kill him and then hopefully kill himself since he couldn't live without the Major." He said with a smirk.

"What if the Major Lived?"

"If she lived, hopefully the blows she would have received would cause her not to be able to have any kids. And as soon as the Trust found out, they would kill the detective if she was alive, so it doesn't matter, the Trust will get them one way or another."

"It looks like we've got all the evidence that is needed," Daniel said.

"Sam, are you ok," Jacob asked.

Jack turned around and looked up to see Sam's pale face. He stood up at looked at her.

"It's over now Sam, we've got the evidence."

"I'm just shocked!"

"I know, come here!" He pulled her into his arms.
