The next couple of weeks had be like pulling teeth, Jack wanted to see Sam so bad, he had been able to talk with her a few more times since there first phone call but he wanted to hold her, kiss her, show her how much he loved her. He had made his decision to retire when she returned, he was planning to discuss it with her the next time she called.

Now Pete had been very reckless, taking the cases that were very dangerous, he was pretty much on a suicide mission himself, he took this one case where he was undercover and had to get in with this gang, it was very convert these guys were very dangerous.

"Alright Pete you ready for this, you must not let them even think of the possibility of who you are, as far as they are concerned you are Jake Bowldin a rookie drug dealer that wants in on this big deal that you had heard of thru the grapevine. OK?"

"ALRIGHT OKAY lets just do this!!"

"You have a go"

As Pete approached his contact he walked up very punk like.

"Hey heard you got some goods that I might be able to get in on the deal?"

"What's it to you and who are you?"

"The names Jake, and I heard that you are the one to talk to about getting on the biggest deals in town, so I want in I'm willing to do whatever it takes"

"Are you a dealer or a user?"

"Well most occasions I'm a dealer not much into the using part but I have been around, and honestly the way I feel right now I would love to get a fix, so what have you got to offer and what's the price?"

Across the street an unmarked van was where the rest of Pete's team was, they were able to hear everything and that last statement he just made concerned the officer in charge Pete was suppose to come across as a dealer nothing more.

"What is he doing he is suppose to come across as just a dealer, he may not be able to close the deal now with out living up to the user part"

"You want me to pull him out sir?"

"No just let him do whatever it is he thinks he is doing."

As the contact and "Jake" made there way to a warehouse around the corner, Pete was lead down an elevator shaft to an underground lab they had everything you could think of, and then he spotted what he assume was their 2nd in command leader. He had to get to the main dealer and he was willing to do whatever it took to get to the guy.

"Sparky who is this?"

"His name..."

"The name Jake I'm here to get in on a deal or two, what you say, we could become real good friends?"

"Alright what specifically are you looking for?"

"I was thinking maybe some Ice, Meth, and anything else you come up with the same or better affects."

"Well you can be the judge I got some great stuff over here new batch just finished. What you say"

As Pete thought to himself real quick his thoughts went back to Sam he had lost her for nothing to live for why not? Back in the van the lead officer was getting ready to have to pull him out and bust the whole deal, but they really needed Pete to meet with the head dealer.

"Sir what do you want us to do if he starts using he will be compromised"

"Just give him a few more minutes all units stand by"

As Pete made his way over to take a hit of this new form of Meth, Sparky had told him that it was a mix of some sort of Meth and Ice with a few more ingredients. Just then Pete's cell phone rung..

"Sorry but I got to take this, its about a deal."

"This is Jake"

"Yeah Yeah ok no don't pull me out of the deal, I want in all the way, yes I will make it, Jake out"

"Ok sorry bout that business never stops, But I will be fine for now so I'm going to cut the lines of communication while we converse and I don't want anymore interruptions when I make a deal with your head dealer.."so he turned his cell phone off which was the main thing transmitting the audio back to the truck "...so lets try it, shall we."

In the van...

"What the crap is he doing, if we can send anyone in we don't know where anyone is at and he's making plans to make to the head dealer we got to hold and hope that he does and he knows what he is doing"

"All units stand by"

About an hour went by, Pete was so high he couldn't focus on nothing, just getting more drugs that new stuff was very powerful and very additive, when they didn't hear anything from Pete the force got ready to move in and take the place.

"All units move in, all units move in"

As they made there way in taken each person one at a time, when they reached the room where Pete was in, they busted down the door, Pete went crazy he was so out of it and high on the drugs he was paranoid and he went postal.

"Pete you alright?" one of the officers said to him, not really sure whether to approach him.

"GET AWAY FROM ME, ALL OF YOU!!" Then he grabbed one of the cops, took his gun and held it to the cops head.

"Pete come on don't doing anything stupid, you don't know what you are doing, come on let him go and put the gun down everything will be ok."

"No it won't be ok, she's gone and there's nothing I can do to bring her back."

"Who is gone Pete? Come at least let Mark go." Finally Pete let him go but was still pointing the gun at the rest of them.

"Now that's a little better, now who is gone?"

"Sam, she is gone I can't get her back."

"Ok ok Pete you know maybe you can get her back did ya'll..."

"NO I CAN'T GET HER BACK SHE'S DEAD!!!"

"Oh I'm Sorry but listen you will get through it time will heal."

"No it won't I can't live with out her, and she loved that Jack, she didn't even love me..." Now Pete was getting very emotional as he moved the gun off the other officers back and placed it on his right temple.

"Ok Pete now you got to calm down just breath, we will get you through this, those drugs are have a major affect on your thoughts."

" I can't live there is no propose she was my life and I was fighting for her and now she is gone there is nothing left to fight for, I have nothing." Pete closed his eyes and fired the gun.

"NO PETE DON'T.." But it was to late it was over Pete's body fell to the ground and just Sam had died in his life he was now going to be dead in hers.

Vegas

Sam was working on her book she had been wanting to write for a while, and now with all this going on she finally had the time.Just then the phone rung.

"Hello"

"Ms. Carter?"

"Yes this is her, but please call me Sam."

"Ok Sam this detective White, Chief of Colorado Springs P. D."

"Yes" Sam was hoping that he was calling to let her know Pete was going to be transferred far away.

"I'm afraid I have some bad but good news for you. Are you sitting down."

"Yes sir I'm sorry did Pete agree to the transfer that is what this is about right?"

"Sam I'm Sorry Pete was killed this earlier today..."

"What? How?" She never wanted to see Pete hurt and it hurt her to have to hurt him when they broke up, and as bad as things had been lately she never wanted this.

"This will be off the record because there was drugs involved and we want him to be remembered as a honorable officer and it will appear on his record he was killed in the line of duty. But the truth is he was working on a undercover drug bust and got messed up on the drugs himself in the process, and cut off all communications with our guys, we assumed the worst and moved in. When we went he went crazy making remarks of you and you being dead and having nothing left to fight for, he took one of our guys hostage which he later released but right after he shot himself in the right temple."

Sam nearly dropped the phone when that last statement was said, she couldn't believe it she was trying to run away from him and now he thought she was dead it caused him to take his own life.

"Ms. Carter are you there?"

"Uh yeah I'm Sorry it's just shocking that he would do that"

"Like I said though the drugs he was on were some pretty powerful ones and it affects you mind. But he will be remembered as a Honorable officer, If you would like the funeral will be on Thursday at 2:30pm."

"Ok thank you..."

"I'll let you go, please know this was not your fault ok, take care of yourself."

"Thank you I will" With that she placed the phone back on the cradle still in shock, she sat there for little while longer hoping it was all a dream.

SGC...

Jack made his way to General Hammond's office having no clue to why he was being called there, he knocked on the door and entered.

"Jack have a seat"

"General what's this about"

"It's about Sam, I know that more than likely she has contacted you to let you know that she is ok and very much alive or otherwise you would have asked to retire by now, Am I right?"

"Yes sir, but what's going is she ok?"

"Early today there was a drug bust at on of the local warehouses Pete was undercover and got shot and killed in the line of duty."

"Ah I'm Sorry to hear that Sir.."

"Well that's not all the police report has him as being shot in the line of duty, but the truth is he committed suicide right in front of the other officers,
he claimed he had nothing left to live for or fight for..."

"Because of Sam's death" Even though it was no true it still made Jack feel sick to his stomach to mention anything about Sam and being dead.

"Yeah I think it would best for you to go and bring Major Carter home, because she knows the truth and will probably blame herself for a little while."

"Yes sir when do I leave?"

"As soon as you can there is a plane waiting on the tar-mat for you ready when you are."

"I'll be ready in say 20 minutes."

"Dismissed, and Good Luck, send Sam my best"

"Yes Sir" As Jack left he was overjoyed that soon he would be able to hold his Sam, but there again she was going to pretty shut down, but this time he was going to be there for her.

Ok this was kinda of a out there chapter, and I know the drug thing probably wasn't near the truth on how that stuff works but it was worth a shot, I enjoy the feedback.
