“Thank you, sir”
“There is one thing, however.”
He passed the paper over to Jack so both he and Sam could read it. It was the review about the play. It was saying how every one enjoyed themselves and how it looked so real.
It had made a few Air Force personnel talk to their CO’s about their 2IC’s. Some have asked for transfers to somewhere else, things like that. A few minutes later they were both smiling.
“Well sir, we did pull it off.” Sam said
“Yes you two did. The news about the play spread throughout the Pentagon, along with the Air Force, Army, Marines and Navy. There have been more transfer requests in the last two weeks than there have been in twenty years. There were three of them here alone. I told them to wait until you got back Jack, so you can sort this out.”
“Gee thanks, more paperwork for me to do” and Sam smiled at him.
“Well, you do love paperwork.”
“Yes, true. So anything else?” he put the paper on the desk.
“No; why don’t you two take off. You are not due to be back at work until Monday, so why don’t you go home until then?”
“Thanks George, see you on Monday morning” then they left the office.
They headed to their quarters. Their bags were on top of the dresser and the bed so they started sorting them out. A few minutes later they left and headed to the surface. When they got to the parking lot, an airman was waiting for them.
“General O’Neill, Colonel Carter; General Hammond has arranged for your transport.”
“What? But my truck is here. What’s going on?” Jack started heading to the nearest phone.
“General Hammond said for you two not to drive you cars until you get new drivers licenses.”
“Jack, he’s right. After all, we have changed in the last two weeks.”
“I suppose your right. Ok, let’s go.”
They put their bags in the waiting car before getting in.
“Where to, sir?”
“Colonel Carter’s house first.”
“Yes sir.”
“Jack, why my place”
“Well, the sooner you can get your things sorted out, the sooner you can get to my place.” he whispered to her.
“Oh, ok, but first I need to go to the store and buy a few things before heading home.”
”Ok, where to?”
“To the super market.”
“Airman, take us to the super market closest to the Colonel’s house.”
“Yes sir.”
Jack and Sam held hands while looking at each other. A few minutes later they arrived at the super market.
“We will be back in fifteen minutes,” Jack said.
“Yes sir.”
They got out of the car and headed into the super marker and got a trolley each. They both went to buy a few things that they needed for the next few days. Once paid for, they headed back to the car. The airman helped to put their bags in the trunk of the car before they got in and left to go to Sam’s place.
A few minutes later they arrived outside of Sam’s place. The airman and Jack helped Sam take her bags into the house and the airman went back to the car to give them some privacy.
“When can you make it Sam?”
“As soon as I get things sorted out here.”
“Ok, I’ll see you later. What would you like for dinner?”
“How about going out for dinner tonight?”
“O’Malley’s?”
“Sounds good to me; I will see you in a few hours.”
“Ok” they kissed before Jack left.
Sam put her groceries away and then she sorted out her bags and put a load of wash through the machine. While waiting for the wash to finish she watered her plants, did some dusting and vacuuming. When the first load of wash was done, she put it into the dryer and put a second load of wash in. She checked her mail, paid her bills, changed the sheets on the bed and checked her messages.
When her the second load was finished, she had to wait for another fifteen minutes before the dryer finished with the first load before taking out the dry clothes and putting the second load in. While she was waiting, she made herself a cup of coffee. She was sitting down, going over her e-mail, when the door opened and closed and she heard footsteps.
“Sam” Sam relaxed at the sound of the voice.
“Cassie, what are you doing here?” she stood up and they hugged.
“Mom called to say that you were back. Wow…what happened to you?”
“Cassie, I just got back from my honeymoon.”
“I know that but you look younger, that’s all.”
“Well, what do you think?”
“Cool, how about Jack?”
“He looks at least ten years younger.”
“Really cool. So where is he?”
“At his place; I’m just getting a few things sorted out before leaving for his place.”
“Ok. I have been checking on your place three times a week and when I showed up a couple of days ago Pete was here. He was asking when you were due back and I told him that I didn’t know”
“Thanks and don’t worry, every thing is going to be alright.”
“I know.”
“Would you like a cup of coffee?”
“Sure.”
Sam went to make her a cup of coffee.
“How was your honeymoon?”
“It was great; we really enjoyed ourselves. It is a great place for a honeymoon.”
