The Threat
Alexz walked up to Petty Officer Tiner's desk. "Is the Admiral in?" Alexz asked after looking at the name on the door. "Yes ma'am." Tiner answered. "Can you please inform him that Major Martinez from the Air Force is here to see him." Alexz requested. "Yes ma'am" Tiner replied. He called the Admiral. The Admiral answered. "What is it Tiner." the Admiral asked."There is a Major Martinez from the Air Force here to see you sir." Tiner informed him. "Air Force?" The Admiral asked. "Yes sir" Tiner confirmed. "Send him in" the Admiral ordered. "Her sir" Tiner replied. "Just send her in Tiner" The Admiral replied, annoyed. Tiner opened the door so that Alexz could enter. He closed it when he left.The Admiral stood up and walked around to the front of his desk. He leaned back against it and crossed his arms over his chest. Alexz stood at attention."At ease" the Admiral ordered. "What can I do for you Major?" he continued."Sir, two of you officers are holding three of my men and I would like them back" Alexz requested. "What are they holding them for?" the Admiral asked."Not quite sure sir, but I need them back, now." Alexz replied. "Which of my officers have them?" the Admiral asked. "Colonel Mackenzie and a Commander, I didn't get his name, sir" Alexz answered. The Admiral pressed the button on his phone. "Tiner, send Rabb and Mac in here" The Admiral ordered. "Yes sir" Tiner replied. Tiner went to the room Rabb and Mac were in. "What is it Tiner?" Rabb asked as he saw Tiner standing at the door. "The Admiral wants to see you and Colonel Mackenzie sir" Tiner replied. "Alright Tiner" Rabb replied. Tiner left. Rabb turned to Bud."Watch them" he ordered and then left, followed by Mac. "Come in!" the Admiral called as he heard knocking at his door. Rabb and Mac entered the room. "You wanted to see us sir" Rabb asked. "Yes Commander. Do you have three Air Force personnel in your custody?" The Admiral asked. "Uh, yes sir." Rabb replied. "Why?" asked the Admiral "They were found with Lt Sorensen sir" Rabb replied. "What were they doing with the Lieutenant?" continued the Admiral."Don't know sir, they wont answer our questions" Rabb replied. "Sir, we are in the middle of an Air Force investigation right now. I need my men so we can continue it." Alexz explained. "What kind of investigation?" the Admiral asked. "That's classified sir" Alexz answered."Classified" the Admiral repeated ."Yes sir" Alexz confirmed."What does Lt Sorensen have to do with your investigation?" Chegwidden continued."That's also classified sir" Alexz replied. "What could be so important?" the Admiral asked. "That's classified sir" Alexz pressed. "I'm getting sick and tired of hearing that word Major." The Admiral replied, growing very impatient. "I'm sorry sir, but you keep asking me questions which warrant that particular response." Alexz replied. "Why are you here Major?" the Admiral continued. "I told you sir, to get my men." Alexz replied. "I mean, why are you here, in Virginia. What could Lt Sorensen possibly have to do with your investigation." asked the Admiral."I'm sorry sir, that's classified." Alexz replied. By now the Admiral had lost all of his patience. "Either you tell me what I want to know, or your men stay right where they are!" the Admiral yelled. Alexz didn't waiver. "It's classified sir" She replied calmly. "Get out of my office now!" the Admiral shouted.Alexz didn't move. "Sir if you don't release my men I will have to contact my CO, who will in turn contact his superior and you don't want to get on his bad side" Alexz relied. "Is that a threat Major?" the Admiral asked, coming to stand less than a foot away from Alexz. "Did that sound like a threat to you Commander?" the Admiral asked, casting a glance at Rabb."Yes sir it did?" Rabb agreed. "It was not a threat sir, I'm merely stating the facts." Alexz replied coolly. "This is your last chance Major, get out of my office, or I'll have you thrown out!" the Admiral ordered as he turned away and walked back to his desk. Alexz pulled out her cell phone."Sir you leave me no choice." She said as she dialed Jack's number. "Hello?" Jack asked from the other line. "Sir, this is Alexz. We have a problem." Alexz replied into the phone. "Is this about Jacob, Kal and Teal'c being arrested?" Jack asked. "Yes sir, how did you know?" Alexz asked, slightly confused."Sam called a few minutes ago to report in" Jack explained. "So what's the problem. Can't you get them out?" Jack continued."No sir. The lawyers who have them refuse their release and their Admiral is supporting their decision." Alexz replied, glancing at the Admiral. Jack sighed. "Did you explain to them the importance of your investigation?" Jack asked."Yes sir, they don't care." Alexz answered. "Alright, give me five minutes and wait for a call from Hammond." Jack ordered. "Alright sir." Alexz replied. "What's the name of the Admiral?" Jack asked at the last minute."Chegwidden sir" Alexz replied. "Alright" Jack said and then hung up. Alexz put her phone away. "Well?" The Admiral asked, his arms again folded over his chest. "He said wait five minutes and expect a phone call" Alexz replied. "Fine" the Admiral replied. The next five minutes passed in complete silence. Finally the phone rang. The Admiral didn't pick it up though."You might want to answer that sir, it could be important" Alexz suggested. The Admiral waited one more ring and then pressed the speaker phone button. "Chegwidden" he responded. "Admiral Chegwidden, this is President Hammond." the voice on the other end said.The Admiral looked at Alexz suspiciously. Alexz had to suppress a smile as Rabb and Mac exchanged glances as well. "What can I do for you Mr. President?" the Admiral asked, clearing his throat."I just got a call from a very angry General, telling me that your people are interfering with his investigation." Hammond replied. "Not at all sir" Chegwidden responded. "So you don't have three of his people?" Hammond pressed."Uh, yes sir, but they were interfering with a JAG investigation." the Admiral countered. "The Air Force is running a very important investigation right now and they need all their people to continue it." Hammond responded. "With all due respect sir our investigation is important too" the Admiral tried to reason. "Of course Admiral, I'm not saying it isn't. But I asked the Air Force to conduct this particular investigation. It is of the up most importance and I would appreciate it if you would release the men and relinquish control of the investigation to the Air Force." Hammond replied. "But sir..." the Admiral started. "Is Major Martinez there?" Hammond interrupted. "Yes sir she's standing right here." Chegwidden replied. "Put her on" Hammond ordered. "It's on speaker phone sir" the Admiral countered. "Can you hear me Alexz?" Hammond asked. "Yes sir" Alexz responded. "Good. How is the investigation going? Any leads?" Hammond inquired. "Yes sir" Alexz replied. "Good. How long do you estimate until you've wrapped it up?" Hammond continued. "No too long sir" Alexz replied. "You'll keep me updated then?" Hammond asked. "Yes sir" Alexz responded. "Good. Oh and Alexz?" Hammond asked."Yes sir?" Alexz asked."Did Jack tell you about the Bar-B-Q next weekend?" Hammond asked, changing his tone from CO, to friend. "No sir" Alexz responded, a bit confused. "It'll be next weekend at Jack's cabin. Everyone is invited, bring the family." Hammond ordered. "Yes sir. Kat really misses you sir?" Alexz added with a smile. Rabb and Mac exchanged more glances. "I miss her too. Tell her I said hi." Hammond ordered. "Will do sir" Alexz replied."Good bye" Hammond said and then hung up. Chegwidden hung up as well. He then turned to Alexz. "I see you're friends with the President." the Admiral commented coolly. "Yes sir, for many years now" Alexz replied. "Well, take your men and get out of my building Major." The Admiral ordered. "Yes sir" Alexz replied and then left. Rabb looked at the Admiral."Your just letting them go sir?" he asked. "What choice to I have?" The Admiral responded. "Figures our president has to be ex-Air Force" the Admiral added.
