Ch1
She awoke to the soft dripping of water on the stone floor near her. A flash of pain shot through her head as she blinked her eyes open. Causing her to grab her head and quickly pull it away again covered in blood remembering the deep gash and probable concussion. She slowly pushed herself up against the solid wall and steadied herself to get the room to stop spinning. She had long ago lost count of how long it had been. She thinks its been somewhere around 4 months. She carefully rested her head against the cool wall and closed her eyes and focused on the sound of dripping water. She sat like that for a long time in the silence before she heard the thump of boots. She removed herself and receded into herself for what was to come.
"We know where she is! We know that, that Geb bastard has her! What happened to no man gets left behind!" He stood in front of the generals desk yelling and frustrated at why the president wouldn't approve this rescue mission.
"Colonel thats enough! Im not happy about this either, but there is no way we would be able to put together a big enough military strike to go through the gate and get her."
"But we can damn well try!"
"You'd never get through the gate more than a step before you got shot and you know that!"
"But its Carter! She has saved everyone on this earth more than once and she deserves at least a rescue attempt and you know it!"
"I'm sorry colonel there's just no way."
"He's had her ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX DAYS God knows what he has done to her! We can't just leave her!"
"Damn it Colonel! You don't think I know that! she's been like my niece ever since she was little! You don't think I haven't counted the minutes since she's gone missing. Don't you know it killed me to pronounce her MIA! I had given up hope of ever getting her back, And now that we know where she is. Don't you think its killing me now not to send every man I have through that gate just to get her back! But there is just no way!"
A little shocked by the generals outburst and his near breakdown confession, Jack softened his tone a little bit. " I know… but we have to do something."
"All we can do is hope that Jacob and the other tokra can get her back for us. Knowing Jacob he won't stop until he has her back or he's dead."
"I know, but I can't just sit around here twiddling my thumbs!" He said exasperated as he plopped down into the arm chair.
"Well colonel you do have some mission reports to catch up on." General Hammond said almost jokingly.
"You know what I mean."
"I do colonel, but other than sending you out on missions again there is little more for you to do but wait."
