For those that have read my past stories, you will recognize the first four chapters as I have previously posted them separately. But since they all go together and I'm pretty much writing on a continuing time line from this Content story, I thought I'd just go ahead and add them all together. This story won't be a regular one for updates by any means but the chapters are pretty much one shots in most cases so it's not that big of a deal.
And the title is subject to change. I'm not very happy with it right now.
Set sometime shortly after Ripple Effect.
Don't own anything. Yada yada ya.
On with the story.

Sir,
How are things in D.C.? I'm going to be there myself the 21st. It's just for the one day. I have a meeting. If you have time, maybe we could get together and catch up?
Carter
P.S. Call Daniel.

Carter,
Things in D.C. are not even worth mentioning. Why did I take this job again? Just one day, huh? When's your meeting? I have one with the Joint Chiefs at 1330. Probably won't be out of it til 1700. What time does your flight leave? I could either meet you early or catch a late dinner.
Jack
P.S. Drop the sir, Carter!
P.P.S. I'm ignoring Daniel right now.
P.P.P.S?? Carter...what's you're middle name?

Subject: Hiya back
Jack,
You took the job because you knew you'd be good at it...no matter what you tell the rest of us. And because there is no one better to protect the SGC's interests.
My meeting is at 1100. I doubt it will be done before you have to go to yours. I don't actually land in D.C. until 0930 so I won't be able to meet you early. My flight to come home isn't until the next day but it's at 0500. But I can meet you for that late dinner.
Sam
P.S. Why are you ignoring Daniel?
P.P.S. Grace, why?

Samantha,
Great. Where do you want to go?
Jack
P.S. Because he's bugging me.
P.P.S. Have you ever realized that your initials are SGC?

Subject: one not taken I see
John,
I know of a great Chinese place close to your office. We could go there.
Sam
Not Samantha. And don't even think about Sammie!
P.S. About what?
P.P.S. Yes, sir.

Subject: Point Taken
Sam,
Better? Chinese sounds great. I know which place you're talking about. You want to meet at my office or at the place? By the way, you didn't have to get a hotel, Carter. You'd a been more than welcome to crash at my place.
Jack
P.S. Oh, you know. He's Daniel. It doesn't take much.
From: SGCarter.dst.gov
To: JONeill.dc.gov
Subject: Much better thank you
Jack,
Let's meet at the restaurant. That way we don't have to backtrack to your office. Thanks for the offer, sir. And I'll keep that in mind if I ever have a flight that doesn't leave at 0500. The hotel is right by the airport though so it's just easier that way.
Sam
P.S. Very evasive answer. I can always get it out of Daniel.

Subject: You're welcome
Sam,
Okay then. Well, I'm headed out of here. See you the 21st, Carter.
Nite,
Jack
P.S. He values his life too much.

Jack,
Yep. See you the 21st.
Sam
P.S. Darn. You're right.
