N/A: I feel the need to apologies for my English. I'm French and I had no English class for over 7years so I might mispel… mispelled…, well you know do some grammar error ;-)
Please READ & REVIEW, tell me what you would like to see happen.
Chapter 2
- "Hi… Hum! Clark?"
- "Yes and this is my friends Chloe Sullivan."
- "I'm glad to finally put a name on a face of someone who knows me."
- "It is a pleasure to meet you Chloe Sullivan" said Teal'c (Murray).
- "So Dr Jackson, what a man like you is doing in a town like this. I mean we're really far from Egypt?"
- "I'm archeologist specialized in language translation, I grant that I've study a lot more Egypt than any other civilization… But I'm always good for new challenge and the cave haven't been decipher yet."
- "And you Murray, what's your expertise?" asked Chloe now in a total investigator mode.
- "I am a warrior"
- "He's my bodyguard" added Daniel.
- "And why would a Scientist need a bodyguard?" asked Clark but Daniel didn't answer since his two teammates came in the Talon.
- "Hello folks, nice town you have here." O'Neill said sitting at the table where Teal'c and Daniel were.
Sam sited next to Clark her strong impression over the boy began again.
- "What the hell is it with that kid?" She asked herself looking at Clark.
- "So did you get permission to go in the Kawatche cave?" He asked smiling to her.
- "Yep, the gentlemen call Lex Luthor said that we can look at the cave." O'Neill answered.
Chloe looked at the women starting at Clark, she had this look of someone who knows something but isn't able to pinpoint what she knows.
- "So Doctors, when will you start? I was wondering if I could do an exclusive for the Torch." Chloe said.
- "Great what we need, a journalist. Sorry girl, but I don't work well with nosy people around me." O'Neill said looking at Chloe.
- "I wasn't speaking to you, I was speaking to the doctors, they're the leader of the group aren't they? So why don't you let them decide?"
- "Chloe!" was the only thing Clark said but she understood that she had push a little too far.
- "Sorry, I mean you no disrespect"
- "Well you're mother should have teach a little good manners." O'Neill said.
- "If I had a mother to show me something, maybe she would have unfortunately she left the house." Chloe reply
Clark looks at the two of them bickering. The man called O'Neill seems to like it but was loosing control. And Chloe had already loose control.
- "OK, I think it's enough for one day. Dr Carter, Dr Jackson do you think that my friend could do a paper on your research?" asked Clark shutting Chloe and O'Neill in the middle of their dispute.
- "I don't think it's a good idea" said Dr. Jackson. "It won't be an on site search, we'll just take some photo and then we'll continue our work at the base… Our lab I mean."
- "That settle it then." added O'Neill. "Well time pass, would you show us to those Karate caves, I didn't quite understand my map?"
-"Kawatche caves" corrected Daniel.
- "Whatever Daniel, I just want to start to do what we're supposed to do."
- "No problems, I have nothing else to do anyway" answered Clark.
- "We'll be waiting outside Clark, when you're ready."
The group left the Talon. Lana came to their table.
- "Who are they?" she asked.
- "Some archeologist" answered Clark looking at Lana intensively.
- "They pretend to be archeologist, but except Dr Jackson, I think they're military people." Added Chloe.
- "Why would you say that?" Clark asked.
- "Look I've known military people and if they're not then I'm no more a journalist. I'll go back at the Torch, maybe I'll figure out who they really are and what they're up to. Keep an eyes open Clark."
Chloe left leaving Clark and Lana in an odd silence.
- "Well I should probably return to my client." And Lana left.

-"Sorry sir, but you did almost blow our covers story." Carter was really upset after her CO.
- "Look, she was all question and it fall on my nerve. I'm sorry but you know me and journalist."
- "I think what Major Carter is trying to say is that if they are the doctor we should follow their lead an d not make decision on our own."
- "Thanks Teal'c I had understands this." Looking at is second in command. "Carter, what about the boy, are you still certain that there is something weird about him?"
- "More than ever Sir" Carter said feeling the strange sensation again. "He's coming"
As she said this, the door of the Talon opened and Clark stepped outside. Teal'c raises an eyebrow in interrogation. Daniel looked at Sam who was back to the Talon with an unformulated question on the face.
- "Ok, that was really strange Carter, care to explain before he arrive here?"
- "Well I feel him when he's close to me." Was the only answer she could tell them before Clark arrived.
- "Hey kid." Said O'Neill as a greeting.
- "If you're ready, I'll show you the way to the caves. I wish to apologies for Chloe's behaviors she see conspiracy and complot every where. Not that I blame her with the stuff that happen in Smallville?"
- "As do all journalist."
- "What kind of stuff?" Asked Carter genuinely curious.
- "Well with meteor rock everywhere… People have been seen do some strange things." Clark evasively answered. "Why couldn't I keep it quiet? They'll start to ask question now. What if Chloe's right and they are military peoples? "
Carter looked at the boy who, he seemed concern suddenly. Something was bothering him. She could feel it, but not Daniel.
- "What kind of strange thing? You think that the meteor rocks have initiated some mutation in the human gene?"
- "It's a valid guess?" he answered.
- "Clark" interrupted Carter, "I was wondering, my niece Cassie is coming here while we do our research is there anything to do around?" and she felt relief and curiosity coming from him. "How and why could I feel him so strongly?"
- "It's Smallville, nothing do to alone here, maybe I could show her around"
- "That would be great thank you very much."
- "Since everything is good then lets go." O'neill said.
And the group leaved to the caves.
