Sam and Teal'c had been back at camp for close to a half hour. They were almost finished with packing up all the supplies. "So Teal'c, how much longer do you think we should give the Colonel before we send for back up?" Sam joked.

"I believe we should give O'Neill another fifteen minutes, then see if he need's help in persuading Daniel Jackson." Teal'c replied with a hint of a smile on his face. Sam just laughed as she continued to put her supplies in her bag.

It took another twenty minutes to get everything back in its proper place. As they put the last bag in the pile, they realized they had not heard from either of their other teammates since the Colonel had told them to meet back at the camp site at dinner time. They looked in the direction of the building Jack and Daniel were in. They couldn't see it from where they were due to the tree's and hill's, but you could see at least a quarter of a mile. There was no one insight. Sam looked at Teal'c as she reached for her radio. "Colonel, do you copy?" Static was all they heard in reply.

"Colonel, Daniel, it's Carter do you read me?" Sam anxiously asked. Still there was no reply. "All right Teal'c, let's head in that direction and see why they're not answering."

"Do you think something may have happened Major Carter?"

"I hope not Teal'c. But you never know with those two." With that they headed out.

As they topped the last hill they could see the building. Everything looked like it had the last time they had been there. The only thing that was different was that the air had an almost eerie feeling to it. "So is this what you were feeling before?"

"It is indeed." Teal'c replied as he seemed to look everywhere at once.

"Colonel, do you copy?" Sam decided to try one more time. All she got was static once again. "Okay then, let's head down and see what's going on."

They approached the building, that Daniel had described must have been some kind of meeting hall, with as much caution and anticipation as they would if they were going into battle with a Goa'uld. As Sam neared the front, Teal'c went to the side to search around back. Sam reached the entrance opening and what she found was not what she was hoping for. She knelt down and felt with two fingers the dark reddish stain. It was still wet. There were two separate stains. The only good thing she could see from this was that both blood stains were smaller then the palm of her hand. So Sam took a guess that if the blood was from her missing teammates, they must have been hit over the head.

"Major Carter there is nothing around the other side of the structure." Teal'c said as he knelt down beside her. He also felt the stain's. "This is still fresh, possibly an hour old." He stated as he stood. Sam stood as well and looked around.

"Did you notice anything out of the ordinary?"

"I did not." Teal'c looked at the ground, "There is signs of a struggle here. But there is no foot prints going in any direction."

"There has to be something. Let's keep looking, go in a grid search pattern out from here. You go to the right, I'll go left. Keep your eye's open for anything. Go for about quarter of a mile. If we don't find anything we'll head back to the Gate for back up. And Teal'c, be careful."

"Yes Major Carter. You to." And with that they headed out.


"Ow, Ow, Owww. Man what the," Jack tried to roll on to his back but found that he couldn't for his hands were tied behind him. He pushed himself up so that he could sit against the wall. Looking to his left he saw Daniel laying next to him. "Daniel, wake up." While Jack said this he pushed Daniel with his leg. Daniel moaned and squinted his eyes. As Daniel stirred Jack looked around. They were in a stone cell with a dirt floor. It was about ten by eight in size and the door was steel bars at least two inches thick. No window's either. 'Great, just great. Were not going anywhere, anytime soon'. Jack thought to himself. Daniel had managed to get himself up and was leaning on the wall next to him.

"Alright, what happened?"

"We got knocked out and kidnapped. That's what happened." Jack sarcastically said.

"Oh. So business as usual then?" Daniel asked sweetly. Jack just stared at him wondering if it was himself or Daniel that had got their head hit to hard.

"What do you remember?" Jack asked.

"Walking toward the entrance and being surrounded by people in skirts with spear's. Not being able to understand their gibberish and then being hit over the head. Next thing I know is I'm trapped in a room with you. Now tell me, is this what you remember, and is this not what normally happens to us?"

"Yes, and yes." Jack admitted. Not that he wanted to but Daniel had a point. If anyone could get kidnapped it would be them. "Well any suggestions?"

"Aren't you the one that's suppose to get us out of these type's of situations?" Daniel looked at Jack like he had lost his mind.

"You're the one that got us in this situation so that means you get to find a way to get us out of it."

"What. How did you come to that conclusion!" Daniel was completely confused.

"You spent way to much time playing with your toys." Jack said matter-of-factly.

"Oh right. Since I left when you asked me to I can totally see your point." Daniel raised his eyebrow at Jack in an imitation of Teal'c. It seemed to work as Jack just sighed, rolled his eyes and stared at the door without comment.

"I guess we'll just have to see if we can figure out what these skirt wearing people want. Hopefully at some point we can get out of here. And if we can't we wait for Carter and Teal'c."

"So basically we play guest to our not so gracious hosts and hope they don't kill us before we can find a way out or we're rescued. That's your plan. Right?"

"Yep."

"Yeah. Great."

As they sat there they could hear the sound of feet marching toward them.


AN: Thank you all so much! I had to write another chapter after reading what you all said. It's not quite as long as the last but I'll work on getting more soon. Thank you again for letting me know what you thought :-)
