Jack and Sam were hugging and kissing completely unaware of what was going on.
"Jack, what about the regulations?"
"Sam, Dr Lee is on sick leave since he broke his arm and they are a scientist short at Area 51. So, for this plan to work, I'll have to transfer you to Nevada until Dr Lee can return. During the time you are at Area 51 you won't be under my command."
"But what about this play?"
"I think Cassie it already working on that as we speak and I know that the whole base now knows about it, because I noticed the intercom button was switched on."
"I can't believe that this is happening. Oh god what about my wedding dress?"
"You could wear the one that you were going to where when you married Shanahan or get something different. Sam, whatever you wear you will always look beautiful to me." they kissed one more time.
"I better get back to work, and you have things to do yourself; you know where I am, if you need me."
"I know. I better find Cassie and carry on shopping" they kissed before Jack went to open the door, to find Cassie standing there, grinning.
"Are you ready to carry on shopping Sam?"
"Yep, let's go" Cassie gave Jack a hug.
"See you later Jack, don't work too hard" she said smiling and then she slipped him a note before they left. Jack went to sit down and read the note.
'Jack, go to the jewelers in the mall, there is an Emerald and diamond ring that Sam loves. The code number on the box is 151171, good luck, love Cassie'
Jack got up and went to his door "Walter, get Reynolds in here" then he closed the door to his office. A few minutes later there was a knock on the door.
"Enter" the door opened and Colonel Reynolds walked in.
"You wanted to see me sir?"
"Yes, you are in charge until I get back. I'm going out for an hour so don't let this place fall apart while I'm away, ok?"
"Yes sir" he said grinning.
"Good" then Jack left his office.
"Walter, Reynolds is in charge until I get back."
"Yes sir. SG8 is due to leave in an hour and half."
"I should be back by then; if not, send them."
"Yes sir" then Jack left to get changed knowing that they were grinning.
After changing, he left to go to the mall. When he got there he went to the jewelers that Cassie mentioned on the note. The store was busy so Jack had a looked at the emerald and diamond rings. He looked for the one with the code 151171. When he found it and after the sales assistant showed it to him, he decided to buy it. Since he was at the jewelers he also picked up the wedding bands.
