When Jacob arrived back at the base, he went to see how George was, since he had had a few drinks last night. When he saw Walter, he smiled.
“How is he” thumbing at Hammond’s door.
“He said that he has a hangover the size of Texas” Walter smiled and Jacob laughed.
“I’ll bet he has. Did Jack and Sam get away ok?”
“Yes sir, Detective Shanahan called before and asked for Colonel Carter. I told him that she was busy and he was angry. I told him that I would pass the message on.”
“Thanks.”
“Sir what’s going to happen about the blackmail?”
“I don’t know. I’m sure Jack and Sam will think of something. All I know is that this wedding was part of the plan.”
“I hope that something happens to fix this. Everyone here is worried about the Program being made pubic.”
“I am sure that it won’t happen. I better go and give George a hard time about drinking too much; just don’t worry about the blackmail, ok?”
“Yes sir”
“Good”
Then Jacob knocked on the door and opened it to see George in his old chair, with his head in his hands.
“Walter, I told you I didn’t want to be disturbed.”
“How many bottles of aspirin have you had so far?” Jacob said, with a grin on his face as he walked into the office and sat down. George moved his hand away from his face.
“Jacob; did Mark and his family get away ok this afternoon?”
“Yes, and I found out a few things today”
“Oh, like what?”
“Lizzie and Jason told me about what’s been going on with Sam and Pete. They listened to them arguing last time Sam was in San Diego, about the hours Sam works here and that she is hardly home.”
“Well, Sam has been hard worker as always. This has been like this ever since she was assigned here.”
“I know. Ever since she was young, she was always doing something. The kids love Jack; they said that he was funny and that he made Sam smile and laugh.”
“Yes he can do that alright. Even though he has taken over my job here, he still acts like a Colonel sometimes.”
“He has had to fill some big shoes when you moved to Washington.”
“Yeah, he has alright and he has done a good job of it so far.”
“True. Detective Shanahan asked me for my blessing. I said no and he told me what would happen if there was no wedding. I told him that I already knew about the black mail and then I said good bye and I left.”
“Now all we have to do is think some thing up to solve this. If not us, Sam and Jack will.” then the phone rang.
“Hammond”
“Sir, there is a Martin Lloyd on the phone for General O’Neill.”
“Put him through.”
“Yes sir” then the phone clicked.
“This is General Hammond, what can I do for you?”
“Hi, is General O’Neill there?”
“No, he is away. Can I help you with something?”
“Ah, yes, can I come onto the base and show you something, I think you might like it.”
“Oh, where are you?”
“Out side your base.”
“Ok, only for few minutes.”
“Thanks” then they hung up. There was a knock on the door.
“Come” and the door opened to show Daniel and Teal’c standing there.
“Morning sir, Jacob”
“Morning, how is your head this morning?” Jacob asked, knowing that Daniel was drunk last night.
“Besides the hangover, I’m fine.”
“Dr Jackson, Teal’c would you go to the surface? Martin Lloyd is up there. He wanted to speak to Jack; would you bring him down here?”
“Sure sir.”
They left the office and Hammond called the surface to let them know that they could let Martin in and that Daniel and Teal’c would bring him down to the briefing room.
