Chapter 1 : Building a mystery

***********

Sg5 were on mission on PXS 345, accompanied by Doctor Daniel Jackson, to study some artefacts found in a cavern.

However, they'd been attacked by the inhabitants of the planet.

*******

The cries, suddenly nearer, jerked him up. He could see a striped savage moving hastily out of a green tangle and coming towards the mat where he hid.

A savage who carried a spear.

Daniel gripped his fingers into the earth. "Be ready now, in case..."

Daniel fumbled to find his glasses he'd lost running away from the man.

The savage stopped fifteen yards away and uttered his cry.

"Perhaps he can hear my heartbeat over the noises of the fire. Don't scream. Get ready."

The man moved forward so that you could only see him from the waist down. That was the buff of his spear. Now you could see him from the knee down.

"Don't scream."

A herd of pigs came squealing out of the greenery behind the savage and rushed away into the forest. Birds were screaming, mice shrieking, and a little hopping thing came under the mat and cowered.

Five yards away the savage stopped, standing right by the thicket, and cried out.

Daniel drew his feet up and crouched.

The exclamation spread from shore to shore. The savage knelt down by the edge of the thicket, lights flickering in the forest behind him.

You could see a knee disturb the mould.

Now the other.

Two hands.

A spear.

A face.

The man peered into the obscurity beneath the thicket. You could tell that he saw light on either side, but not in the middle---there.

In the middle was a blob of dark and the savage wrinkled up his face, trying to decipher it.

The seconds lengthened. Daniel was looking straight into the savage's eyes and even without glasses he could feel his gaze inside himself.

"Don't scream."

"You'll get back."

"Now he's seen you. He's making sure."

Daniel finally decided that screaming was the good and only answer to his problem.

He screamed, a scream of fright, anger and desperation.

He suddenly heard a shot and saw the man in front of him rolling his eyes in pain.

He fell down in an loud and unceremonial "BANG".

Daniel didn't move until he saw SG5 coming towards him.

"Come here !" shouted Michaels

The young doctor didn't need to be told twice and joined them immediately.

He tried to ignore the amused gaze of the younger SG5 members.

"There are no more problems Doctor Jackson" assured Michaels, leading the way to the Stargate.

"Where are we going?" asked Daniel in disbelief.

"Home. We'd better not stay here. We've got to be sure of our safety before coming here again." Michaels replied over his shoulders.

Daniel sighed but followed them anyway.

He was trying hard not to fall, unable to see clearly without his glasses.

But what he feared would happen, happened.

"Doctor Jackson! Are you ok?" asked Michaels, going over to Daniel who had fallen on the ground.

"Uh...not really"

"Can you walk?"

"I think so." uttered Daniel, who was more ashamed than in real pain.

He could already hear the mockeries of a certain Colonel O'Neill.

INFIRMARY

"So you really don't mind taking her to her music lesson?" asked Janet again

"Not at all Janet. I'm glad to spend time with Cassie. It's been so long" Sam replied with a true smile

Janet nodded but her eyes showed some sadness.

"What's up?" asked Sam, noticing it.

Janet sighed and sat on a chair.

"She seems so sad, ya know, she never smiles, she doesn't want to talk to me like she did before."

Sam nodded in comprehension, "teenagers!" She stated as if it was fateful.

Janet smiled sadly.

"I know you're right but I just feel that there's more. She was such a happy girl and now television seems to be her life's ambition. I really don't know what to do. She refuses everything that comes from me... I was wondering if you could talk to her?" she asked pleadingly.

"Me? Well...uh ya know, I don't really..."

"Sam, she admires you so much, she will listen to you." Janet cut her off

"I'll do my best," promised Sam getting up quickly at the sound of the alarm, leaving Janet to do her medical duties.

***********************

"INCOMING TRAVELLERS" shouted the voice over the microphone.

General Hammond, standing behind the lieutenant, waited for the code.

"It's SG5 sir"

"Open the Iris" ordered Hammond focusing on the stargate.

"Danny's coming back?" asked Jack, who was standing next to Major Carter whom has just arrived.

He looked at her. "Still confident Carter?" he smiled

"You bet sir. It can't be possible." she replied smiling back at him

He put his hands in his pockets showing his "you'll see that you're wrong" air.

They both looked at the iris opening.

Sg5 appeared, followed by Daniel who was being helped by Michaels. He looked towards the windows of the control room.

"Call Doctor Frasier. Doctor Jackson is hurt."

Jack looked at Sam triumphal

She rolled her eyes.

"So Carter! You owe me one month of reports"

"Oh Boy..." she sighed

"I've told ya.." he chuckled "He can't help but hurt himself all the time."

"I hope that his injuries are not too serious" noticed Teal'c, who had stayed silent, and was now watching as Daniel was escorted from the gateroom.

"I don't think so Buddy but let's go to see him." replied Jack still grinning.
