Chapter 9
Sam and Jack gingerly entered General Hammonds office.
"You wanted to see us Sir?" Carter asked.
"Yes, thanks for coming. As you may have guessed, I have been doing a lot of talking with the president."
'This isn't going to be good'
'Ya think.'
"I did the best I could for you two, but after what happened there really wasn't a lot I could do." Hammond sighed and played with his pen for a few moments before continuing. "We're having to put some distance between the two of you. Jack you will stay where you are, but Carter; you are going to be reassigned to the Alpha site where you will head up the scientific research department."
'I don't want to leave.'
"Is this really necessary Sir?!" Said Jack listening to Sam's frets.
"I'm sorry Jack, it's the best I could do. You both are lucky that you aren't being court-martialed."

"But isn't there anything you can do?!"
"It was either this or a court martial Daniel" Jack explained.
Teal'C looked mournful, "This is most unfortunate."
"Ya think." Jack and Sam said in unison.
"How long do you have till you have to go Sam?" Asked Daniel.
"As long as it takes to get some of my stuff together, clothes, my laptop, projects etc and then I'm off."
'I don't want to leave'
'And you think I do'
Daniel looked between the two of them as they were sharing an exchange of thoughts. He wished he was able to hear what two of his best friends were talking about but in the back of his mind was the nagging thought that, maybe he shouldn't. They didn't have long together.
Suddenly a thought occurred to him.
"Sam, can't we visit you at the alpha site?"
"You and Teal'C can." Sam said sadly.
"I better go and get my stuff together." Sam said walking out of the room with Jack on her tail like a lost puppy.
