“Pete!” Sam exclaimed, trying to look shocked and then the gate shut down.
“Surprise!” He said with a grin on his face as he walked down the steps and over to her. He gave her a kiss and a hug; she was looking at Jack all the time. Then he pulled back to look at her.
“What are you doing here?”
“General Hammond said that I could come and see you. He did have plans to let me talk to you through the gate but he must have changed his mind.”
“I guess so.”
“As much as I would love to chat we had better get these things to camp Carter. Teal’c, if you and Daniel would lead the way.”
“Sorry, General O’Neill. I hope that you don’t mind me being here for a few hours?”
“If Hammond sent you, then it must be ok. Shall we?” Teal’c and Daniel had already left with the ‘FRED’ heading to the campsite.
“General Hammond said that you are letting SG1 stay here for another week?”
“Yep, Daniel loves his rocks. Since we found more, I am letting them stay longer.”
“Will Sam be back in time for the wedding?”
“Yes, SG1 will be back in time for it.”
“Ok, that’s good”
“So, where are you to going for your honey moon?”
“We are going to Maui for a week”
“That’s nice.”
“Yeah, I chose it for our honeymoon” he said smiling while holding Sam’s hand. Jack looked at Sam. He could see that she wasn’t happy about the chosen honeymoon location.
“Carter, why don’t you give the guys a hand with the gear while Pete and I have a chit chat?”
“Yes sir”
Sam let go of Pete’s hand and started walking quickly to the campsite. Jack slowed down a bit as did Pete.
“Does Sam know what hotel you are staying at or just to Maui?”
“Just to Maui, we are staying at the Maui Seaside hotel.”
“Nice place is it?”
“Yes it is. Did Sam tell you about the blackmail?"
Jack stopped in his tracks and so did Pete. Jack showed his anger.
“Yes she did. I’m not happy about that and neither are the Joint Chiefs nor the President.”
“Well, there is nothing you can do about it, is there?”
“Not at the moment but I’ll think of something. But, be warned, if you hurt her, I’ll be coming after you and your badge will not stop me.”
Then Jack walked away from him and headed towards the camp. Pete followed a few seconds later. When he reached the camp, Sam stopped what she was doing and looked at Jack. She could see that he was angry but as soon as their eyes met, he softened. She knew that they would talk about it later. Then Pete arrived at the campsite, so she carried on doing her thing the best she could. Pete walked over to her.
“Sam, can we talk?”
“I’m working Pete, give me ten minutes ok?”
“Ok, where are Teal’c and Dr Jackson?”
“Checking out some new ruins; if you want to you can see them until I’m finished here?”
“Sure, which way?”
“That way/ follow the path and you will find them in about two hundred meters” Sam pointed the way.
“Ok, thanks. I’ll let you get back to work” then he headed in the direction she indicated. Jack got on to the radio.
“Teal’c, Daniel?”
“Jack what is it?”
“Shanahan is heading your way; keep him with you for ten minutes until Sam shows up and let us know when he arrives?”
“Copy that, Daniel out.”
