Sam's cell phone began to ring and they pulled apart so she could answer it. She looked at the phone to see who it was.
"It's Pete" and she answered it.
"Carter"
"Hi, Sam where are you?"
"I'm at the base."
"Why are you at work? I want you to come home now so we can talk."
"I'm with Cassie for the day; you knew that I was spending the day with her."
"Oh yeah, sorry. Then why are you there? Let me guess, to show your General O'Neill the disk?"
"No, Cassie needed to see Janet about something then we will be leaving again to see a movie."
"What are you going to see? I could come and join you two."
"We are having a girl's day out, no males are allowed. Look I better go, bye" and then she quickly hung up.
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah, I will be."
"Don't worry Sam."
"Thanks, I better go, talk to you later."
"Sure, any time."
Then Sam left his office to look for Cassie. Cassie had gone look for Janet only to find out that she was in surgery. One of the teams came back with one of them injured, so she went to find Jack, since it had been a while since she last saw him. She went to his office, he was there reading one of the reports.
"Working hard I see."
Jack looked up to see Cassie standing in the door way of his office, smiling at him. He smiled as he put the report down and then he got up as Cassie walked into the room.
"Come here sweetie, it's been too long."
She walked into his open arms and gave him a hug.
"Hi Jack, how are you?" they pulled back so he could have a good look at her.
"I'm good, keeping busy."
"I can see that. Jack, can we talk in private?"
"Sure, what's on your mind?"
"I'm worried about Sam."
"Hang on for a sec" He walked over to the door and poked his head out.
"Walter, hold all my calls unless it is Hammond."
"Yes sir" then he walked back in and closed the door.
"Take a seat Cass" they sat down next to one another.
"Ok, what is it?"
"Sam told me about the blackmail Jack and I can see how it is upsetting her."
"I know; she was around at my house at five this morning. She didn't know what to do. After all these years if you give her an alien doohickie, she can solve it no problem but this; well I don't know how I can help her out on this one. Hammond knows the situation."
"Jack, do you love Sam?"
"Cassie" he said warningly.
"Jack you do even through she is with that moron."
"Yes, I do love her and you know that I'd do anything for her."
"Anything?" Her eyebrow rose.
"Yes; what are you getting at? You are getting as bad as Carter, thinking too much" she giggled. Then there was a knock at the door,
"Enter"
