Summary: What if Jolinar had left something behind?
Rating: PG Disclaimer: Not mine don't sue me!
AN: Wow I actually started this one before In the Middle, but I just didn't know where to go with it until now. Isn't kinda funny how everyone in the fandom seems to hate Anise/Freya but she was only in a meager two eps lol? Enjoy! Feedback loved!
Daniel's pace quickened down the corridors of the SGC, always on the lookout. A look to the left, then one to the right. There was no way that he couldn't prevail. He wouldn't allow it to happen.
"DanielJackson!" Teal'c bellowed from down the hallway. Daniel stopped dead in his tracks, refusing to turn around, shocked that he had found him. He started walking at a faster pace when Teal'c turned down the hallway.
"Teal'c! You found him!" Jack yelled from down the hallway that Daniel was walking down. Jack started to walk at Daniel with full speed.
He was trapped, and he knew it. Looking around quickly, he picked the closest hallway and ran turned left down it, not caring what if he looked suspicious now. Teal'c and Jack both started jogging, trying to catch him. Then he saw his way out: the elevator. He quickly sprinted to it and hit the button. He nervously waited until the light blinked.
"Ha ha! You thought you could get to me didn't you!" he gloated to his assailants. He smirked as he saw the confused looks on their faces, until their smirks grew larger than his.
"Wha," he managed to squeeze out before he was hit from behind.
"TAG! You're it!" Sam cried out as she smacked him upside the head. She joyfully squealed and clapped her hands together. "Oh, and Daniel? No tag backs." Jack walked up and congratulated his "Danny-boy" and laughed as Teal'c bowed his head to Sam in their triumph. That was, until they heard the ominous sound of their luitenent saying, "Unauthorized traveler!" They all scrambled back onto the elevator to see who was here.
"This round is so not over." Daniel crossed his arms over his chest and pouted.
"Dad!" Sam exclaimed as she walked into the briefing room where her father was sitting with General Hammond.
"Sam, I'm happy to see you too." He said his hello's to everyone else who walked in the room as they all took their seats.
"Actually Sam, we're happy to see you for another reason too." She looked confused as Freya walked into the room.
"Hello Major Carter. I hope my presence does not disturb you," she quickly said.
"So Dad, what can I do for you?" she asked, choosing to ignore Freya.
"Sam, we found a planet that we believe Jolinar used to go to to get away from everything."
"That's great news," Daniel piped up.
"Right. She may have hidden some information there that could be useful to us."
"Ok. That would make sense. But what does this have to do with Carter?" Jack asked, always on his guard around Freya.
"Well Colonel O'Neill, we have only found the planet, not the place that she went to. We believe that, with some help, that Major Carter could find her way back to Jolinar's place of rest."
"With some help? The same type of help you tried to 'help' Martouf with?" Sam asked, sarcasm dripping from her words.
"Sam…" her dad said trying to calm her down. Freya just let the comment roll off of her shoulders.
"We could use a Tok'Ra memory recall device. I believe you have used them in the past."
"Are they going to stop working half way through and kill someone?" Daniel said this time. SG-1 was not happy with her presence, and was letting her know it.
"Now I don't want to hear any more bickering. Major, I cannot order you to take this assignment, but I believe that you do understand how helpful the information we gather could be." The General had had enough.
"Yes sir I understand. As long as SG-1 comes along," she replied with a curt nod.
"I wouldn't have thought otherwise." Jacob put his hand on Sam's shoulder. "Meet in the gate room in one hour, and then you have a go."
"Sam, are you gonna be ok with this?" Jacob asked as they were waiting for the coordinates to be dialed in.
"Yeah sure Dad. Why wouldn't I be?" She was fiddling with last minute adjustments on her pack.
"Sam I know you aren't naive. This is going to be really stressful on your mind. If you need help or need to stop-" he started.
"No Dad. I've been through stuff like this before. No big deal," she said as she cut him off. Then they both faced the gate when they heard the tell-tale sign, and walked through.
"There's no place like home!" O'Neill exclaimed as he walked through the wormhole, trying to joke about Jolinar's personal escape.
"That's really not funny sir. It's actually offensive," Carter stated as she stood next to him. He was so shocked and upset he immediately looked at her. She smiled at him and walked away, laughing at her own joke.
"Why you little…" he muttered under his breath.
"If you are ready, Major. We could like to start the process as soon as possible." Freya walked up to her with a box that held the memory recall device.
"No time like the present. I'm assuming that we aren't using the screen to watch on?" she asked as she took off her hat.
"Not this time. I will put it on and let you walk around until you feel like you remember where you are." Sam cocked her head. Let her walk around? That's a little… odd.
"You would allow MajorCarter to walk around?" Teal'c inquired, also thinking it was uncommon for such procedures to take place.
"Hopefully, the area we are in will help jog her memory," Freya cleared.
"So, don't go running over any cliffs now Carter," O'Neill berated jokingly.
"Yeah, so let's just start this." Freya walked over to her and placed the device on her temple. She winced as the device connected to her.
"I'm going to put it on the highest setting so that you can utilize the maximum memory usage." She used the second tool and turned it high.
"Ow… Wait, I think I remember something! Oh god! Trees! They're everywhere! And they're green!" She pointed to the trees down the path from the Stargate in mock surprisement.
"Sam! Not funny. And you've been spending way too much time around your CO." Her father was not amused by her outburst.
"Hey…" Jack muttered to himself.
"Sorry Dad. So, now what?"
"I believe you are to start wandering around MajorCarter." Teal'c replied to her.
"Right. So, feel like going for a walk anyone?"
"I will stay at the gate with Freya. We're waiting for some more Tok'Ra to come through." Jacob started rummaging through his packs as SG-1 walked away.
"So Sam, anything look familiar yet?" Daniel asked when they were sitting down. They had walked for a very long time that day, and since it was basically in circles, they really needed a break.
"I don't know, kind of. Once you start traveling to different planets, they all start to look the same." She shrugged her shoulders and looked around.
"Kind of? How encouraging is that?" Jack was starting to get annoyed. He hated working with the Tok'Ra, especially when they didn't have a plan. Just their luck, a mother ship would come down and get them.
"Well Jack, you can't expect her to remember everything all at once. You should know about that. It takes time to let everything back in and the process it. After you process it…" Sam stopped listening to Daniel ramble on after the first sentence.
Teal'c was the first to notice her. She was staring at something intently. Her eyes became fixed on this point, and her forehead burrowed in concentration. Teal'c, who was sitting across from her, turned around to see if there was something coming but saw nothing.
"MajorCarter," he interrupted Daniel. They both looked at Teal'cs confused expression, then at her. Her head was cocked as if she was concentrating on what she saw. Without a word, she stood up and started walking.
Even she didn't know where she was going. It was almost as if Jolinar had control of her body again. She couldn't speak out to say where she was headed, even if she knew. All she could do was follow, until she started to feel herself slip further and further into a trace that she couldn't get out of.
"Carter!" Jack called after her. Completely ignoring him, she continued walking. They jogged a bit to catch her. Jack got in front of her to look at her.
"There's no one in there," he muttered, not seeing any life in her usual vibrant eyes.
"You mean she's in a trance."
"Yeah same difference."
"So we should probably follow her." Sam maneuvered through the woods like a pro, knowing where to turn and where not to turn, where to duck and where to step up. She could probably go through with her eyes closed. They had trouble keeping up with her. Daniel tripped over a random branch and would've fallen smack dab on his face had Teal'c not grabbed the back of his pack. Finally, she came to a large tree in the middle of a forested area. It didn't look like anything too special, but she was looking at it.
"Is this is?" Daniel asked to no one in particular. They all started to look around the tree, just incase they were missing something. The tree was titanic. It could almost put some Redwoods to shame in California.
"ColonelO'Neill!" Teal'c exclaimed. He rushed over to him just in time to see Sam walk up to the tree.
"Carter!" She was still in her trance, and ignored him again. She walked up to the tree, and pressed a fake piece of bark which exposed a door. After pushing the door open, she walked in. Slowly, they followed her in.
The secret hiding place was no longer secret. It was only a room, but it was all she needed. On the wall to the right side of the entrance was a large bed, taking up the length of the wall. Across the room from it was a desk full of doohickeys. No doubt Freya couldn't wait to get her hands on those. On the left side of the entrance was a huge mess. It looked like someone went through the room in haste and left everything for the owner to clean up.
"What?" Coming out of her trance, Sam was confused. She looked around and let the safe blackness take her away.
