“Carter, it’s fine.”

“Sir, I need to have a look.”

“No.”

“Sir-“

“Carter, no, and that is final!”

The look in her eyes told him that it wasn’t, and that he would have to put up with similar looks for the rest of the day if she didn’t have some satisfaction. Some of his conclusion must have shown on his face because she suddenly half smiled.

Okay, that was it. “Don’t you dare laugh, Carter.”

“Would I do that?” The smile widened. So much for respect for your superiors.

“I seem to remember one baudy tale at the last SGC Christmas party.”

“That was Daniel!”

“Oh, so you had nothing to do with it, huh?”

Her eyes darted everywhere but at him. “Oh, I thought so.” He grimaced.

“Colonel, we need to check for shrapnel.”

“I’m fine.”

“Oh, for crying out loud, Jack!” The surprise on her face at her own statement, reflected his own. Okay, perhaps it was time for a meek submission. It did actually hurt quite a bit.

With a sigh of resignation he bent over. He had to be the one who sat on the Christmas decorations, didn’t he.

FIN.
