After General Hammond left, O'Neill and Carter were alone in the infirmary. She tried to leave, too, but Jack drew her back with a question. "How are you doing?"

"I'm not the one with the bullet hole. Sir."

"You were the one in there without a vest."

"It's hard to believe that they were going to kill me." Carter shuddered involuntarily.

"Everyone wants that big brain of yours."

She shook her head. "If they'd been Goa'uld, I would understand. But human beings..." Her voice trailed off.

Jack nodded. "It takes a human being to shoot you in the back."
