| Chapter 21: Epilogue |
| Location: Colorado Springs, Colorado, U.S.A., Earth Date: New Years Eve 2001 |
| Hammond smiled as he arrived at �The Barracks� and chuckled as recalled how the name of the house came to be. A ranch had gone up for sale just outside of Colorado Springs. Five members of SG-13 decided to go into together to buy it. |
| How they had got a hold of the kind of cash needed to buy it, he didn�t want to know. Especially after hearing rumors about a certain Senator being blackmailed. Whatever had happened, he was sure Vansen was in on it since she seemed to be the one with the highly placed �friends�. |
| But now her secret was out, SG-1 was on the mend, and the rate of practical jokes on the base had greatly increased. |
| As he pulled into a parking space at the house, he noticed that all the men were outside and the women were inside. |
| �What�s going on here? Why are all of you outside?� |
| O�Neill spoke up. �They just kicked us all out and told to wait out here a minute.� |
| Just then the French double doors opened up to reveal the women all lined up in a row - and bundle after bundle of mistletoe everywhere inside. |
| �It�s a bit late for mistletoe isn�t it?� Jack asked no one in particular. |
| �Not for me it isn�t!� Hammond clapped Jack on the shoulder. �Looks like we better use some breath mints before we go in there.� Jack stared at his commanding officer with a shocked statement. |
| Hammond laughed as he pulled out his breath spray. �I�m coming in ladies! All I ask is that you be gentle.� |
| A chorus of giggles went up as the women descended on the here-to-be-called, General Sweet Cheeks! |
