AN: So you may have noticed I changed the title to something just a little more ridiculous, seems fractionally more appropriate for some reason...

SUMMARY: Here is question two of the Jack asks Sam saga. Set in the SGC a little later in the life of the show, early season 7 maybe...Humour/Friendship

HEY CARTER: Question2 "Got somewhere to be?"

Sam Carter was beginning to feel the pressure. General Hammond had stepped up her deadline and now she really needed to go...but this was her CO and he was in a hospital bed. It was nothing overly serious, just a bad case of concussion and a fractured rib or two. He had been badly shaken up but now he was feeling well enough to be complaining vigorously about everything...she shuffled her feet.

Jack paused mid-grumble watching his restless 2IC, that was the third time she had checked her watch in the last five minutes. "Got somewhere to be, Major?" he asked politely.

Sam did not speak for a fraction then failed to hide her slight wince. "Actually Sir..."

"You've got a project deadline."

"Yes as a matter of fact I do. General Hammond wants the refined ratio aspects from the MALP and UAV telemetry from P3..."

"Ahh, arrghh!" Jack covered his ears. "Concussion, remember?" he reminded her, last thing he needed was for her to make his headache worse with techo-babble.

"Right...sorry, Sir." She shifted on her uncomfortable chair.

"Just go." Jack said trying his best to sound dramatic. "I'll be fine on my own!" he sighed.

Sam simply stared at him for a moment. He'd be fine alright, that guilt trip would not work today. "Good to know...well...I'll call back later." She rose from the chair and almost reluctantly drifted across the room.

"See ya." Jack half whispered, actually kind of sorry to see her go. "Hey Carter?" he called as she reached the door.

"Colonel?" Sam turned quickly, whatever it was it sounded important, her heart skipped a beat.

Jack did not speak for a moment, deliberately he kept her waiting, holding her eye the whole time. Eventually he found his voice and along with it a cheeky grin. "How far down the corridor do you think you would be right now if I had not called you back?"

"Oh, Sir!" Instantly frustrated, Sam stomped a single foot on the floor and abruptly left. She hated it when he did that!

END

AN: Hee hee, naughty Jack, don't tease Carter, she's smarter than you, you'll live to regret it!
