Chapter two
Matt nodded and strapped a P-90 to his vest; he then grabbed a zat and a handgun and stuck them in the holsters. Drew cleared his voice, "I'm coming with you."
He shook his head, "No way man, Jack will kill me."
"I'll take the blame!"
Matt shrugged, "Fine," he handed Drew a zat. "One shot stuns, two kills, three disintegrates."
Drew took the zat from him. "Why can't I have a real gun?"
Matt pulled him to the door and put a finger over his mouth. He eased the door open, after checking that the coast was clear, Matt and Drew ran on the balls of their feet down the hallway. After receiving no resistance they entered the locker rooms.
Jack pushed Matt into a set of lockers and held a knife to his throat. "Oh, it's you," he spoke.
"Yes sir," Matt replied.
Jack let go of him. "Why did you bring Drew?"
Drew spoke up, "I asked to come." Jack nodded.
"Matt," Jack continued, "these aliens have been making their way around the base taking anything they find valuable."
Matt nodded. "We can't stop them from moving around base but they'll have to leave eventually. If we block all the exits we'll have 'em."
Jack nodded, "Have you taken role call yet?"
"Yes sir,"
"Good, get on the radio and coordinate our defensive. I'll coordinate our offensive."
"General," Matt sat next to him.
"Hey Matt, is everyone in place?"
"Yes sir,"
"Good," Jack stood, "let's get moving."
He walked over to Sara, "We're moving out, I'll be back soon."
She kissed him hard. "Stay safe," Jack nodded.
"I'm coming," Drew refastened his vest.
Sam, Jack, Matt, and Drew tiptoed out of the locker room. Slowly, they made their way to the gate room.
Drew awoke with a thud. Seeing the hand-cuffs that bound him he pulled hard, they would not budge. He glanced around the room to find the majority of base personal stuck in a similar predicament. Where's dad, Drew suddenly became worried. He then maneuvered himself so that he could see out the window at the far end of the room.
The sight of Jack, Sam, Daniel, and Teal'c chained with their arms above their heads surprised him. What surprised him even more was that Matt hung upside down in the middle of the room taunting the enemy.
"How many of you are awake?" Drew asked aloud.
A rumble of 'me' came. "Whatcha planning," Siler slurred.
"We got to get out of here," Drew tried to fumble with his hand cuffs. He stopped as he heard the sound of a whip hitting Matt's back.
Matt swung back and forth, staring at a central point as not to get dizzy. "I'd say you people are a decent mix of a tin-man and a scarecrow."
Jack snorted. The alien spoke to Matt, "Explain this."
Matt did his best to shrug. "You have neither a brain nor a heart." A fist connected with his stomach.
Daniel decided to speak. "I have to make a pee-pee," he said in a childish voice. The alien stopped hitting Matt and put a hand to his head. He then left the room.
"Nice," Jack and Matt spoke in unison.
Matt wiggled with his cuffs for a moment then dropped to the floor. After shaking his head to reorient himself, Matt moved to assist the adults with their cuffs.
"You guys awake," Matt crawled up next to Drew.
"Yeah," Drew replied. "How'd you get free?"
"Takes talent," Matt spoke as he undid Drew's cuffs.
After releasing everyone in the holding room, Matt rendezvoused with SG-1 in Sam's lab. He stepped into a conversation. "It will too work!"
"Will not!"
"Will you two stop it?" Matt stepped in between Jack and Sam.
"I think I know how to stop them," Sam spoke.
"Then will do it," Matt reassured her.
"I have created a virus that will kill off the aliens; the only problem is it has to be dispersed through the AC. We lost access to that area."
Jack looked up at the vent. "Matt can probably climb through the vents." Matt nodded, took the vial out of Sam's hand and climbed into the vent. He crawled through the vents for half an hour. Matt reached the AC generator; he opened the vial and poured the virus into it.
After ten minutes, the door to the generator room opened. Daniel stuck his head in, "There you are. Come on, the general wants to make an announcement in the gate room."
TBC. I WILL KEEP WRITING THIS STORY BUT WOULD APPRECIATE REVIEWS.
