"Daniel, open the god damned gate!" Jack yelled over his shoulder as he laid down cover fire. The Jaffa stormed down the large sand dune into the valley housing the Stargate. 'Kawoosh!' the event horizon formed. "Move out!"
Jack swung around running towards the gate then stopped, falling toward the ground with a massive burn on his shoulder. Strong arms pulled him from the ground and carried him through the gate. "Sir…Colonel," soft hands shook him awake.
"Carter," he croaked, "where the hell are we?"
"I'm sorry about this," she flipped him onto his stomach and cleaned the wound. Jack groaned in pain and passed out. He awoke to find his shoulder bandaged and that he was no longer in the same room.
"Morning Jack," a grim Daniel muttered. He then thrust the canteen into Jack's lap. "Sam said you need to stay hydrated."
After a few swigs he replied, "What the hell is going on Daniel? This doesn't look like the SGC."
"It isn't," Sam and Teal'c reentered the small, poorly lit, room. "As far as we can tell we're on earth, we just don't know where or when."
"Actually Daniel," Sam replied, "I know both. We're in Nazi Germany."
A pregnant pause filled the air, then Jack spoke. "How did we get here?"
"The Russians stole the DHD from the Germans after World War Two. We never found any evidence indicating that there was a Stargate." Daniel rambled off.
"Well there's obviously one here so how do we get home?"
Sam shook her head, "I don't know."
The dim lights began to flicker. "You don't know?" Jack's voice was obviously strained.
Teal'c cut off the colonel's ranting. "O'Neill, I believe we should vacate this area." Yells filled the hallway, everyone but Jack jumped to their feet.
"Move out!" Jack ordered as Sam dragged him to his feet. In ten minutes time, they'd managed to escape the warehouse and make it a ways down the road. Suddenly, the road split into two. "Daniel, Teal'c, go left. Carter and I'll go right. Try to get in touch with the Allied forces-but don't tell them anything." Nodding, they took off in different directions. He and Sam made it to the Elbe before nightfall. Afraid they were still being chased; they made camp in a cave hidden by surrounding rocks.
"Carter,"
"Yes sir,"
He choked a little, "It's cold…come 'ere." She sighed then slid into the sleeping bag beside him.
"I'll take watch."
"No," Jack flipped onto his side and wrapped his arm around her waist. "We're safe for now. It's fucking cold." He shivered again, "Sleep."
Jack woke first, his shoulder throbbing in pain. He shifted slightly, needing to pee, trying not to wake Sam. He didn't succeed.
"You okay?"
He nodded into her neck and muttered, "I gotta pee. Stay here I'll be right back." Five minutes later he shimmied back into the sleeping bag. "How are we on food and water?"
"We have enough for a couple days," Sam replied quietly, missing the warmth of Jack's arm over her waist.
Noticing her quietness he re-draped his arm over her; "Bet…ter," he mumbled before passing out.
Daniel and Teal'c effectively lost the soldiers tracking them and took refuge in some heavily leafed trees. Neither slept- being in Nazi Germany scared the shit out of Daniel and having to explain to Teal'c only made it worse. Eventually, Daniel slipped into slumber and the large Jaffa spent hours contemplating how the Tauri could commit such atrocious crimes against each other.
Dawn came and they abandoned the strong limbs of their tree. After taking itinerary of their supplies, the brothers in arms took off down the unpaved street.
Sam, still in Jack's protective grasp, analyzed their dreadful situation. Trapped in Nazi Germany, no access to the Stargate, low on supplies, Jack injured; could their situation be any worse?
When he woke, Jack was alone. The first thing he noticed was that the pain in his shoulder had dissipated, I love you Carter, his thoughts were more honest than he could ever be. Slowly, he pulled himself to his feet and wobbled out the mouth of the cave. What he saw shocked him beyond belief. Sam was bathing in the river-utterly bare assed. He took a few minutes to regain composure before walking to the edge of the river bed. "Hey Carter," she turned around, slightly surprised.
"Sir,"
"Mind if I join you?" Jack asked almost too quietly. Sam bit down on her lip and nodded. He stripped down to his boxers and jumped in. "How long have you been up?"
"Just a few hours. I scouted out a few miles; there are signs of recent activity. We shouldn't stay long."
He nodded, taking in the information. "Alright, will you clean and redress my wound?" In answer, Sam gently began. Why'd it have to end so soon? Jack wondered as he put his pants back on. As soon as they were back inside the cave, she took the bandages and antiseptic from the med-kit.
"Are you in pain, sir?"
"Pain is for pussies Carter, just make it fast."
Half an hour later, his wounds were dressed and they'd both eaten. Swiftly, they packed and left the confines of the cave. The streets were barren except for the tire tracks that could barely be seen and there weren't trees anywhere. Miles later, they came across a farm house that had been completely abandoned-based on the exterior; the prior inhabitants had put up a hell of a fight.
"Do you think they'll come looking for us here?" Sam asked.
"No, not unless someone gives them a reason to. We'll stay here as long as possible, lay low, farm the land." Sam choked back a sob as they entered the house and put their things in the only bedroom.
