SG-1 regrouped in the gate room on Kelowna. They had spent the last few hours trying to find out as much as they could about Jonas' disappearance. Each of them had canvassed the city, trying to find either a sign of Jonas or someone who had seen something.

"So," said Jack, "anybody find anything?"

"Nothing more than we already knew sir." replied Sam.

"I talked to someone who said they saw Jonas leave his office after hearing news about aliens in the city. I then spoke to someone else who said they saw him near this building." said Daniel.

"Did they notice anything else?" asked Sam.

"Yeah," Daniel continued, "They both said he went into an alley to investigate what they called a flash of light."

"A ring transporter." stated Teal'c.

"Exactly." said Daniel.

"Well, now that we know how he was taken do we know where he was taken too?" asked Jack.

"Well, sir, it tells us that he is on board a ship most likely, as we don't know of any ground bases that Anubis has. We do also know that there is no evidence of a ship in this system." replied Sam.

"Right, well as long as its narrowed down." said Jack. "Why don't we all go look at that alley, see if anything got left behind."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SG-1 entered the alley that Jonas was last seen walking into. It looked like any other alley on the planet. It was between two buildings, contained small amounts of grime on the ground but was otherwise cleaner than the alleyways on Earth.

They started their search; each of them looking for the smallest of traces. It was Daniel who first found anything of merit. He called Sam over to make sure he knew what he was looking at. She also recognized it and called over Jack and Teal'c.

"What is it?" asked Jack when they reached the pair.

"Well, sir, we're not positive, but if it is what we think it is, we need to contact the tok'ra." said Sam.

"You sure? Because you know how I feel about those guys…" Jack trailed off as everyone stared at him.

"What is it that you found Major Carter?" asked Teal'c.

Daniel held up his find for them to see. Jack's eyes widened and he sighed.

"Ah," he said, "well at least now I know why I have to put up with the tok'ra for a little while."

"Yeah," stated Daniel, "this is the same kind of communicator we used when we snook aboard Anubis' ship the first time. There is no logical explanation for why it's in this alley."

"Oy." said Jack.

Jonas was tired of waiting. He had been brought by the jaffa to a larger room some time ago. He had been expecting to see Anubis or some other Goa'uld, but so far he hadn't't seen anybody. He had just been waiting for something to happen. Anything at all right now sounded good to him. He was bored staring at the wall for so long. He couldn't even walk around. As soon as the jaffa brought him into this room they chained his arm to the wall. He could see why they did it, though; with nobody in the room and no door that he could see he could easily get away if his arm was free.

He assumed that he was in the throne room on the ship. He figured that out because of the big throne in the middle of the room. He also knew for certain that he was on a ship. He had felt them leave hyperspace a little while ago.

"I wonder where we're at." Jonas said aloud. He had taken to talking to himself just to clear the oppressive silence. "We obviously left Kelowna, but where did he take me? The last we knew was that Anubis didn't have any planets. Who knows, maybe he has one now. But if we're at the planet, why hasn't anyone come to get me?" Jonas had no answer to that question. He didn't think Goa'uld had a habit of stopping their ships in the middle of space, but he really hadn't met that many.

On the other hand maybe it was smarter of the Goa'uld to keep him on the ship. It would make it harder for any who gated to the planet to get to him. That thought was a little depressing, but as Jonas didn't know if anyone was even looking for him, it didn't bother him that much.

"Besides," said Jonas, "They have no idea where I am. I don't even know where I am, how could they possibly find me?" Jonas drew his knees up to his chest. "Maybe they've forgotten I'm even here."

Jonas wanted to be anywhere else at that moment. He wanted to be with someone, to have someone know where he was. Without even a hint of another person or even a jaffa, Jonas truly felt that he was alone on the ship, chained to a wall.

Suddenly, though, another part of his heart and mind took over. "No," he said, "SG-1 will find me. It's what they do. I may not work closely with them anymore, but they won't leave me behind." With that Jonas decided to sleep and in his sleep he dared to hope.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unfortunately for Jonas, he had not been forgotten. A cloaked figure watched on a screen as he curled up on the floor and fell asleep. They gave a low laugh and said, "Hope all you want Jonas Quinn. Sleep as much as you can, for when you awaken, we begin." The figure stood up and left the room, leaving the screen on to monitor his captive.

As he left another figure crept up to the screen. They looked upon the sleeping figure with sympathy. They had been secretly watching the human on the screen all day. They had heard everything that Jonas had said. Secretly, they were proud that he had found his hope, for they knew that Jonas would need it soon.

"Do not fear, Jonas. You are being searched for and you will be found." Then the figure sat down to watch the screen in silence; intent on keeping the young man as safe as possible.
