The door pulled back after a minute or two and a teenage boy peered back at her from the other side. He pushed his glasses back into place as he tried to recollect where he had seen her before - she looked familiar.

The mildly sarcastic comment she'd prepared for Jack died on her lips, this must be the roommate he'd mentioned. A slight smile as she recognized the signs of geekdom creased her face and she shook her head.

"I'm looking for colonel O'Neill. Jack."

Billy opened the door wider and had a slightly perplexed expression on his face.

"I'm sorry, but Jack has been prolixly absent." Billy wasn't really sure if that was like him or not.

"I'm his second in command. What do you mean absent? How long?"
