“General ... ”

There’s a definite whine in my voice. I have to get out of here. The incessant ‘tick tock’ of the clock is going to make me crazy.

He turns back and meets my eyes. I can tell we’re thinking of the same doctor, the best doctor, who squashed such whining with a look.

“But sir - ”

“Carter.” His voice hardens.

General O’Neill turns and leaves. He’s almost as good at this as Janet was.
