Chapter 25

"Hopefully the NID will get the message," Sam said.

"Same here."

"Why don't you guys go and take care of whoever is in the van and I'll stay here until SG's 3 and 11 show up."

"Ok; let go guys."

They snuck out of the back of Sam's house and managed to get to the van and take out who was in it. Dixon found a flashlight and turned it on and turned the four guys over.

"Shit!"

"What sir?" his second in command asked and turned to see who it was.

"Colonel Simmons."

"Well, look at that. Now we know who was behind it. Come on; let's tie these guys up and back up should be here by now."

They heard two more vans pull up outside of Sam's place.

"I'll go and let them know who else we have here."

"Ok and let Carter know."

"Yes sir" then the major got out of the van and ran over to Sam's house.

After SG5 left, Sam sat down and waited for back up to arrive. She couldn't believe that the NID would try to kidnap her. The question was why now and who was behind it. She heard two vans pull up and doors opening and closing. She turned to see the two teams running inside, checking out the area before walking into the living room.

"Gee, Carter you sure know how to have a party." one of them said.

"Thanks; anyway, these are party crashers."

"Where is SG5?" and then the major ran into the house.

"Major Carter, the van is secured."

"Thanks, how many were in it?"

"Four and, possibly, the leader."

"Who?" and Sam stood up.

"Colonel Simmons."

"That jackass? He was on Jack's list of who might want to kidnap me, thanks. And his men?"

"All knocked out and tied up."

"Ok thanks; can two of you drive the van back to the SGC and someone take care of the trash before the window repairman arrives."

"Sure, anything else?"

"Yeah, don't tell Jack. But, if he finds out, don't get in his way."

"Sure thing; come on, let take care of this trash."

They picked up the NID agents and took them out to the vans and put them into the two vans. They saw the other two vans and they took them back to the SGC. SG5 returned to the house to find Sam had gone back to her packing.

"Have you guys had any dinner?"

"No, we were just about to when we were sent here."

"Ok, don't worry, I've got something arranged."

She continued packing her china when there was a knock on the door. Sam went to answer it, with one of the guys' close by but out of sight. When she returned, she was carrying five pizza boxes. She put them on the coffee table and opened one up and picked up a slice and bit into it.

"Help yourselves, there is plenty for every one" she said smiling.

"Thanks Carter, how did you know?"

"I know what time you guys have your dinner and since you are here, why not? It's better then the mess hall food."

"True" they all grabbed a slice and sat down somewhere and talked while enjoying the pizzas. They were on the fourth box when they heard a truck pull up. Sam listened and got up to see who it was. She opened the front door.

"Sam, what the hell happened to the front door?"

"I'll tell you inside, hungry?"

"Yes" they hugged and kissed.

"Mmm pizza."

"Yep, SG5 is here, baby sitting me."

"Oh?"

They walked into the living room and SG5 stood up. Jack waved to them to sit down and he went to the fridge to get a beer and then returned. He picked up a slice of pizza and sat down next to Sam. She told Jack what had happened that evening. When she finished telling him, they all looked at him.

"Do you know who was behind it?"

"Colonel Simmons" Sam said.

"That jack ass?" SG5 chuckled and he looked at them.

"What's so funny?"

"That's what Carter said when she found out who it was."

"Ah" he picked up another slice of pizza and started munching on it.

"Jack, why are you home early? What happened to the mission?"

"Jaffa showed up. Luckily, Daniel had recorded everything in time and we managed to get out of there before they found out that we were there. Teal'c and I were doing a perimeter check just before night fall when we spotted a platoon of Jaffa in the neighbourhood. We went back to camp, packed up and managed to make it back to the gate before they knew we were there. Hammond said for me to get home after my post op exam and shower."

"Ok; at least you are home safe and sound."

"Yeah; so when is the repairman due to come?" Sam looked at her watch and said,

"Any time now."

"Ok; I see you have been busy" he looked around and noticed the boxes.

"Yes, at least I made a start."

"True."

They talked for a few more minutes before the repairman arrived. SG5 kept out of sight, since they were in BDU's. When the man finished, he told her the cost, so she would know when the bill came. After he left, SG5 got ready to leave.

"Well sir, we'll be heading off now, see you in the morning."

"Ok, thanks guys."

"No problem sir, thanks for the pizza" then they left to head back to base.

Once the door was closed and locked Jack and Sam were in each other's arms and kissing.

"Let's have an early night" he said when he started kissing her neck.

"Mmm I like the way you think, take me to bed."

"Yes ma'am."

Jack held onto Sam's hand and they went to their bedroom. They slowly undressed each other before getting into bed and made passionate love. Afterwards, they snuggled in one another's arms.

"That was great, as always."

"Yes it was alright."

He was kissing her lips when the phone rang, which caused Jack to groan. Sam rolled over on top of him to answer it.

"Carter."

"Mrs O'Neill?"

"Yes."

"Sorry to call you this evening, this is John Brown from the furniture movers."

"Oh yes, what can I do for you?"

"Well, if you and your husband would like, we can move your things in the morning but it would be very early."

"How early?"

"Six in the morning?"

"Yes, yes, we will be waiting for you."

"Ok, will your helpers be able to make it that early?"

"No problem; we will see you in the morning then?"

"Ok, it's the best I can do."

"I know, thanks for calling."

"Ok, night."

"Good night" then she hung up.

"Sam?"

"The furniture movers well be here at 0600; it's better than waiting for three weeks."

"Much better; I will call Daniel and Teal'c."

"Ok."

Jack rolled over and picked up the phone to call Daniel and Teal'c, while Sam went to the bathroom. She then went into the kitchen and got two bottles of water and returned to bed. When she walked into their room Jack wasn't there, so she climbed into bed and waited for him. She heard the toilet flush, so she knew where he was. She looked at the door and smiled when he opened it and walked over to his side of the bed and got in and gave her a kiss.

"Well, we better get some sleep before the guys arrive in the morning. They will be here at 0530 to help pack the boxes."

"Good idea; afterwards we can go into town for some breakfast."

"Mmm, sounds good to me."

He gave her a kiss before he rolled over and took his bottle of water and took a couple of mouthfuls of water. They talked for a few minutes before turning the alarm clock on and the light off and snuggling down for the night in one another's arms.

The next morning Jack and Sam were up early. Sam put the coffee pot on while Jack had a quick shower and shaved. Then, while he was having his coffee, Sam had a quick shower. Once she was dressed they started on the packing and then Daniel and Teal'c arrived to help finish up packing.

At 0600 the truck arrived and the men started loading the furniture and boxes on the truck. Fortunately, it was just starting to get light.

Once the truck was loaded and the house was empty, they locked up and they all followed the truck to their new home. When they arrived there twenty minutes later, everything was unloaded put into the house. Jack and Sam thanked them before they left to do their next moving job.

They spent half an hour sorting some of the things out before they left to get some breakfast. They went downtown and they bought Teal'c and Daniel breakfast and thanked them for helping out.

After breakfast Daniel and Teal'c went back to the SGC while Jack and Sam went to the Post Office to file their change of address cards, they to have the power turned on and the phone changed over to the new address. When they were done, they headed to the SGC.

Later that afternoon Jack and Sam were called to General Hammond's office. They sat down and waited for him to finish on the telephone. When he was done, he looked up at them.

"Colonel, Major; Colonel Simmons and his men have been charged with breaking and entering your home, property damage and the attempted kidnapping of an Air Force officer. They all have spilled the beans, so to speak, about the kidnapping attempt."

"Any reason why they wanted to kidnap me?"

"Jolinar and you are the only one's who have lived to tell the story."

"Ok, at least they don't know what is really going on."

"True. They have all been taken back to Washington for trial and Court Martial. You and SG5 will have to be there for it."

"Sir, what about the lawyers?"

"Everything has been taken care of."

"Thank you sir" Sam said.

"When is the trial?"

"On Monday morning; Major, you and SG5 will be staying there until it is over."

"Where are we staying sir?"

"At the 'Holiday Inn Capital.'"

"I know the hotel sir. It's only a block away from the National Air and Space Museum."

"That is where you and SG5 are staying,"

"Who is paying for their hotel stay sir?" Jack asked.

"The Air Force is picking up the tab."

"Cool." Sam smiled.

"Major, you and SG5 will be leaving late Sunday afternoon from Peterson."

"Thank you sir. Does SG5 know?"

"I'll be informing them in a minute."

"Ok, thanks for letting us know."

"Is there anything else I should know?"

"No sir." Jack said.

"Ok then; Major, make sure to take your dress blues with you."

"Yes sir."
