Strongest emotion of all
O' Neill stormed out of the Stargate and down the ramp. He was so angry! he was furious ! Those sons-a-bitch's on P3X... on that damn planet had taken Carter!
General Hammond walked up to O'Neill
"What the hell happened!?" he asked the pissed, yet upset Colonel.
"They took Carter!" he said harshly
"But when you contacted me two hours ago you said they weren't hostile people" The General asked concerned at the loss of Major Carter
"Yeah that's what we thought" O' Neill spat
"SG-1 report to the de-briefing room now, so we can discuss this properly" Hammond ordered
"What's to discuss sir! they have Carter, we have to get her back! Request permission to start the rescue mission immediately sir, with SG-12/15" O' Neill asked, standing to attention.
"NO Colonel ! not until you explain what the hell happened out there!" The bald man snapped.
SG-1 sat anxiously around the table.
"Colonel what on earth happened?" he asked, listening intently
"Well Sir...when we arrived on the planet we met the inhabitants at the gate, they all seemed like nice decent folk, no glowing eyes no Gaul'd marks on their heads, no mention of any evil Gods.
So anyway these Decent folk he said as sarcastically as possible take us back to their little village, it seemed primitive, it looked like farming was the main way of life there, anyway they held a feast in our name and the celebrations got underway sir. We were all having a really good time, laughing and chatting with the locals, then I said something concerning the Gaul'ds and they all went nuts!!" O' Neill said making the sign for crazy.
"Nuts Colonel?" Hammond asked
"Yes Sir nuts! every person at that party, even the women and older children pulled out a zat gun or staff weapon !" he said in a high pitched voice, then cleared hit throat
"Is this true Teal'c ?" Hammond asked
"Indeed it is General Hammond" Teal'c said in his usual expressionless manner, bar the raised eyebrow.
"How did she get taken Colonel" He asked concern evident in his voice.
"Well we got out of there as quick as we could and headed for the Stargate, but Carter got hit with a zat...and I couldn't get back to her, I was under heavy fire...and they took her sir" Jack said sadly, staring into space as he remembered the incident.
"Do you know where they took her?" Hammond asked quietly
"I'm afraid we do not General Hammond" Teal'c said
"We have to get her back General,... it's Sam " Daniel said, getting tired of sitting around and doing nothing.
"I know Dr. Jackson"
"Now do I have permission to start the rescue mission Sir?!" O' Neill asked raising his voice
"Yes Colonel when can you be ready to go" asked the General
"Right now sir, we'll take SG 12 and 15 too" O' Neill said already out of his seat and heading out the door, with Teal'c and Daniel right behind.
Within 10 minutes SG-1/12/15 were ready to head out, and bring back Carter.

Back on P3X-578...
Sam woke up in a small, dark, dank cell. The last thing she remembers was running for her life, then immense pain and then darkness.
Sam slowly sat up, keeping her eyes closed, mainly from the intense pain in her head.
"Hey" said a voice
"Jack" Carter said sounding hopeful
"No, I'm afraid not, my name is Katarina, you are injured you should stay still" she said
"I'm fine...where are my team?" Sam asked
"I did not see anyone else being brought in, only you" Katarina said crawling over to Sam and giving her some water.
Sam gratefully took it "Thank you"
In the distance Sam heard a heavy metal door opening, and footsteps coming her way.
A Tall, ugly man, dressed in black stood in front of her cell, he yelled something in his language and one of the guards opened the cell door.
"Who are you? who do you work for?" asked the strange man
"You know who I am!" Sam shouted
"Are you a spy?"
"You know who I am!!" Sam spat, now very aggravated
"Who do you work for?!" the man spat back
"For cryin' out loud! ..your mother!!" Sam yelled...if Jack could see her now, he would be so proud.
The tall man violently hit Sam in the face, and she fell to the floor.
"You hit like a girl!" Sam said bravely, why was she saying this, it wasn't like her at all, she guesses all those years working alongside O'Neill had actually rubbed of on her.
The man kicked her in the stomach..."WHO DO YOU WORK FOR!" he screamed
"I wont tell you anything!" she said gasping for air.
The man hunkered down beside Sam and violently grabbed her face and whispered into her ear "Your arrogance will get you nowhere, and your friend here will pay for it!" he laughed evilly
"What ! leave her out of this!" Sam pleaded
The man said something in his language and one of the guards shot Sam with some sort of dart. Within seconds she was paralysed , the only thing she could do was move her eyes.
The man sized up to Kartarina, she was shaking with fear. He took out a small dagger from his belt and gabbed it into her side. She screamed in pain. The man repeatedly gabbed and cut her with the blade and when he was done with her the two guards had their way with her.
Sam lay helpless on the ground, inside she was screaming at the top of her lungs, the terror on Katarina's face was killing her, and she could do nothing to help her, she never felt so helpless before in her life.
The body of the murderous man towered over Sam, blocking her eyes from the horrific site. He bent down over her...
"You think that's bad?!, wait until you see what we're going to do to you, and I wont let you off easy with death, I'm going to make you wish you were never alive!" he laughed, getting way to much enjoyment out of the fear in her eyes.
Sam heard a loud thud... she looked over across the cell and saw Katarina lying motionless on the floor in a pool of blood. Tears streamed down her face.
Sam can't believe she is going to die, alone, on a planet millions of light years from home.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Jack, Daniel and Teal'c had been on the planet for five days and found no trace of Sam. They had thoroughly searched the village where they were all first brought, nothing. They searched the surrounding land, nothing.
Jack was beside himself...the thought of loosing Sam was tearing him apart. This was worse than when she was blended with Jolinar and she was lying motionless on that bed, she was so close to death and there was nothing he could do to help her. At least then he was with her, but now she is out there somewhere by herself.
"Colonel...I think we should head back to he SGC" said a voice of one of the men on SG-12
"NO! I'm not giving up on Carter yet!" he said sternly
"I know sir, neither am I but we need more supplies" he said
"Yeah, your right" Jack sighed "Come on lets head back to the gate and keep and eye out for the locals" he ordered .
Daniel ran ahead to dial the gate. He was met by a woman. She nervously made her way over to him.
"Hi..." Daniel said cautiously
"Em I have information concerning your friend, the blonde woman" she said quietly, looking around every so often.
Daniel called Jack on his radio and he quickly came running.
"What is it Daniel?!"
"She knows where Sam is!" he shouted
"What...where is she!" Jack said eagerly
"There is a prison up in the far mountains, you will find her there... I must tell you that she most likely wont be alive, most that go into that horrible place never come out alive..."
Jack's heart stopped beating for a minute when she said this.
"Thank you so much, if there is anything you want just ask and we will give it to you" Daniel said thankfully as he dialled the gate home.
all the teams quickly ran through the gate and back to the SGC.
XXXXXXX
"Any news Colonel?" Hammond asked
"Yes sir! we know where she is!" Jack said, his mood lifting slightly
"Well that's the best news I've heard all week Colonel!" he said with a slight smile
When the SG teams had replenished their supplies they again headed out, and they were not going to come back this time without Major Carter.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sam was starting to give up hope of being rescued, she now hoped that death would take her. She was in so much pain, she had broken her ankle from kicking the guard so hard to get him away from her and she had so many cuts and bruises all over her body.
She heard her cell door open, she tensed and readied herself for another beating.
"Sam...SAM...come on open your eyes" said the voice, his hand gently stroking the side of her bruised face.
"Jack?" she whispered her voice weak and barely audible.
"Yea Sam I here now, I'm taking you home" he said lovingly planting a small kiss on her forehead, he didn't care if all the other SG teams saw.
He lifted her off the dirty, cold ground and Sam clung onto him, grasping his jacket in her tired hands.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Jack quickly made his way down the ramp to the medical team waiting for Sam. He placed her on the gurney, but she wouldn't let go of him.
"It's ok Sam, I'm here, your home now" he told her Jack had to bite back the tears as they took her away, she was in such a bad way.
He was so happy that he killed every guard and the leader of that prison.
A horrified Dr. Fraiser wheeled her to the infirmary.
"How is she?" O' Neill asked
"She has a broken ankle, her ribs are badly bruised..." She paused "She was so badly beaten Colonel...I don't know how she got through it" Janet said, tears surfacing in her eyes.
"Can I go into her now?" he said sadly
"Yes of course"
He made his way to her bedside. She looked so peaceful. He took her hand in his.
"Sam I'm so sorry...god I'm so sorry for leaving you ...I..." he said tears threatening his eyes.
"Don't be..."Sam said weakly
"Sam.." He said giving her hand a slight squeeze " If I went back for you, this wouldn't have happened" he said his voice quivering.
"If you went back, you would have been killed" she said her voice barely audible
"Well I would rather die than see you like this"
"But your what got me through this Sir...when I was lying in that cell, all I could think about was I'm going to die and I'm not going to see you again, and that hurt me more than any of the things they did to me...its silly I know, but its the truth" she told him, looking deep into his dark eyes.
A tear made its way down Jack's face "It's not silly" He smiled "I'm so glad your ok Sam" he ran his fingers through her hair an down her bruised face, even know she looked beautiful.
"Colonel" Fraser said "Major Carter needs her rest, you can see her in the morning" Janet said sweetly, looking sorry for breaking up the moment.
"ok.. see you in the morning" he told her giving her hand one last squeeze.

A week later Sam was finally ready to leave the infirmary, the bruises were finally fading, and the pain was gone, maybe not the mental pain, but the physical pain was. What would make this day even better would be if her favourite person came to see her now , yes she was talking about Jack. They had become very close over the past week.
"Morning campers" Jack said cheerfully, popping his head in the door.
"Morning Sir" she smiled from ear to ear.
"So your gettin' out of here today huh?"
"Yes sir, I am and I cant wait!" she said giving him one of her famous 1000 watt smiles that she saves only for him.
"What you don't like lying on your ass all day , doing nothing and having people tent to your every need?" he said in his usual sarcastic manner.
"GOD NO!" she laughed "So would you be able to give me a lift home, since I cant drive or ride my Harley.
"What cant you walk home?" he joked
"Sir!"
"OK ,ok, of course I will, see you in a few hours" he said giving her a sneaky wink as he left the infirmary.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
" Ready to go" Jack asked
"Yeah lets go" Sam said hobbling toward the door
"Whoa take your time there limpy" Jack laughed
"Are you making fun of me sir?" she asked with raised eyebrows
"I wouldn't dream of it, now lets get out of here" he said putting a hand on her back and nudging her out the door.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
They finally reached Sam's house, It took nearly an hour to get out of the SGC, everyone was stopping Sam to have a chat with her. Jack was so close to just throwing her over his shoulder and running out of there.
"Ahhh home sweet home" Jack said with a sigh
"God I've never been so happy to get out of that place, everyone wanted to talk to me, even when I said I was on my way home, they still kept yapping!"
"Damn geeks!" Jack said " and I did notice that every person who stopped to talk to you was a guy, I think every man in there might have a crush on you"
"Oh shush and help me inside" she said punching him playfully in the arm.
Inside Jack helped Sam put away her things. After that they opened a few beers and talked for a few hours about old missions and good times.
Sam yawned widely...
"I think it's time you get to bed" Jack said calmly, he cant remember the last time he has felt this relaxed.
"Yeah, I'm exhausted " she said rubbing her eyes.
Jack helped her into her bedroom, since she was a bit unstable from all the beers.
Sam laid down on her bed
"Will you be alright?
"Yeah...Jack" she said shyly
"Could you stay here tonight... I know its stupid but I don't want to be left alone in the dark...every time I close my eyes I see that place... and that man I just..." she said her voice quivering, she 's still so traumatised.
"Of course I will Sam.." he said lovingly, it killed him to see her like this. "I'll just take the couch"
"No Jack,... I mean stay here" she said quietly ,patting the space on the bed beside her. "Could you just hold me"
Jack didn't say a word, he moved onto the bed and took Sam in his arms. She rested her head on his chest and entwined her legs in his. Jack stroked her hair and just held her as she slept peacefully in his arms.
He knows that he can't go back to the way things were before, not after everything that has happened between them and he doesn't ever want to.
They'll find a way to be together, even if that means he'll have to retire, in the end Sam is well worth it.
Jack finally let sleep take him. Together they slept peacefully in one another's arms.
