"Janet,
there's been an accident."
God, how she hated those
words. She couldn't even begin to count the number of times she'd
answered the phone to hear those same words in that somber and grim
tone of voice. For Doctor Janet Fraiser, CMO of Stargate Command
based in Cheyenne Mountain that could mean a number of things.
Of
course, with those words, family always comes first to
mind.
"Cassie? Is Cassie all right?" Janet asked,
her heart in her throat.
"She's fine," General
Hammond's calm tones assured her, but as soon as he continued, her
spirits sank even further. "It's Colonel O'Neill."
"What
happened?"
"It appears he was in an accident. One
of the SFs was on his way home and saw two trucks on the side of the
road. He immediately called for an ambulance. When he got closer, he
recognized the Colonel's truck and called me immediately. That call
came through a few minutes ago. I'd like you to go to the scene and
see what you can do."
Thankfully, her medical training
kicked in immediately, enabling her to push her feelings to the
side—for the time being. It was bad enough that everything always
happened to SG1, but Jack O'Neill always managed to attract
trouble—on earth as well as off world. "I'll be ready in a
few minutes. What should I expect?"
"I'm not sure,
Doctor. But from what he said, it doesn't look good. The fire
rescue units were already on their way." Hammond's voice was
grim.
"Have you notified his team?"
"That's
being done as we speak, although I'm not sure how quickly they will
be able to respond," Hammond said, sighing deeply. "Doctor
Jackson and Major Carter are currently off world with SG6 and Teal'c
is home visiting his family on Chulak."
"I know,
Sir. I'll be ready to leave in a few minutes."
"There
will be an airman waiting for your topside. The accident scene isn't
far away, about halfway down the mountain." Hammond paused long
enough to make the pit of fear in Janet's stomach grow
exponentially. "Take good care of him, Janet."
"Oh,
I will, Sir. That I guarantee."
