Chapter Four
"Please send them in Petty Officer" Harm said. The he lifted his finger from the intercom and looked at Bud.
The door opened to reveal the Texas Rangers. One was a tall black man with white hat at his side with blue shirt on, and tan pants, while the other Harm knew because of the previous mission that they were on to get Mattie out of the clutches of his nemesis Clark Palmer.
"Hey Harm" replied Retired Ranger Texas Cordell Walker, turning to his right he introduced his former and best friend, "this guy to my right is my best friend Ranger Captain Jimmy Trivette."
Harm held out his hand and greeted the man. He reminded Harm of Sturgis in some ways, and other ways of Jack Keeter. "Welcome to JAG Ops" he said to both men.
Turning to Harm, Walker said "We came by to see if there is anything we can do to help in locating the bridesmaid for the wedding."
"Yes you can." Harm said looking at the piece of paper he had in his hand. Then realized that Bud was still in the room, and noticing that he was desperately trying not go open mouthed at the black man, standing not 2 feet from his chair.
"Bud" Harm said in his most stern voice that he very seldom used for his children but lately with his staff.
"Yes, sir" Bud said turning his head to look at the Admiral and his best friend.
Harm started to chuckle "Go ahead and ask your question"
Bud noticing that the heat was starting on his face, and realized in that instance he was caught. He turned to Jimmy and asked "Ranger Trivette sir were in..."
Jimmy realizing where this going said "Yes I was"
"I am sorry for staring" Bud apologized. "I would like to introduce myself" Glancing over at Harm and they both realized at the same moment that they had forgotten protocol of introductions. "I am Lt. Commander Bud Roberts."
He got a 'nice to meet you' from both of them. Then turning to Harm he said " Sir, I am going to call the Admiral"
"Dismissed"
As Bud left the office Harm turned to the two men. "Well gentlemen I think its time we meet with President Hammond." As so the three left the office. When they got to the Petty Officers desk he said, "Lee let Commander Austin when she comes out of court that she will be acting JAG until I get back."
"Yes, sir" the petty Officer replied.
Colorado Springs, Colorado
Cheyenne Mountain
All of the former members of SG-1 were seated around the table in the briefing room. O'Neill started his first question "Who has my daughter?"
Daniel answered "Ba'al"
Then next thing you knew the klaxon's were sounding and everyone in the briefing headed to the control room.
"Receiving IDC sir" replied the technician. "It's the Tokr'a"
"Open the iris" ordered Jack
In walked Anise through the Stargate. The technician at least heard at least three loud groans. Then in walked someone that Sam recognized from her memories of Jolinar.
"Josh" she replied in a whisper.
"Who?" asked Jack with a little bit of sarcasm and curiosity.
Looking at Jack she said "Josh was the brother to Martouf."
"Ah" Jack said with a little bit of disdain and a bit of jealousy.
Recognizing the signs of jealousy Sam reached and touched the General's arm and whispered "You are the only one I want." That perked the general up. Then the headed to the 'gate' room.
Anise came forward and greeted everyone. "We come with bad news. Ba'al has taken a young girl into his harem."
Josh spoke up "The operative that is working on Ba'als' ship had this sent out on one of the transports of one of the spy's that we have. Apparently the operative recognized the necklace and sent it to us so that we could give it to you." His hand held out a tiny necklace that Jack had given to Jackie at her competition just 6 hours ago.
"The girl that was taken is our daughter Jackie" Sam replied. She couldn't help but think of what Ba'al would do to Jackie when she found out she had a smart mouth just like her father and brain like mine. 'This had to end' she thought.
"Why don't we all go into the briefing room." replied the constant conscience of Daniel Jackson.
Chapter Five
Cheyenne Mountain
Colorado Springs,CO
They entered the briefing room and took their seats.
"I guess I'll start. My goddaughter was taken from a restroom in Washington D.C. Not 24 hours ago. She was in a self-defense competition earlier yesterday afternoon. She won 2nd place." Daniel stated to the group.
Looking at Daniel "I am sorry about your goddaughter" and turning to Jack and Sam "and your daughter."
More calm than he felt Jack looking at Josh and Anise asked "Do you know where Ba'als' forces are?"
He knew that every advantage that they had would bring Jo home to him and the family. It also told him of what Ba'al was capable of.
"He is going back to what used to be Abydos." replied Josh
Daniel hearing this was trying awful hard not pale, but was failing miserably. Everything that was taken from him from the beginning happened at Abydos. "Why does Ba'al want to go there?"
"Apparently he wants to start over and create his own army. He already has mother ships and a Stargate. According to our sources he is after someone that has dark hair, dark eyes, and dark skin." Anise said
Everyone except Teal'c paled. Teal'c just looked concerned. You could tell that through his eyes, even though he had a very stoic expression. Jack spoke up "We need to contact some friends in D.C. So can we take 10?" Everyone nodded.
White House
Washington D.C.
"Mr. President, Admiral Rabb and two Texas Rangers are here to see you" replied Bonnie, Hammond's secretary.
"Show them in Bonnie" President Hammond replied.
The three visitors walked in to the Oval Office. Harm stood attention as well as the Texas Rangers in front of the President. President Hammond walked around the desk and stated "At ease".
"What can I do for you gentleman?" asked President Hammond
"Mr. President, I need to know what Operation Blue Book is? Apparently one of the contestants from a self-defense competition was kidnapped. From I understand she is like a 'granddaughter' to you." asked Ham
Hammond paled and outraged that anyone found out about the Stargate. Trying to stay calm he asked "Admiral Rabb where did you get your information from? You and the public still do not need to know about it. And for the other, it would not happen to be Jack and Sam's oldest would it?"
"Respectfully Mr. President, one of my officers found out about it before it went into the recycle bin permanently. And to answer your question it was Josephine O'Neill."
"Dog gone it!" Exclaimed President Hammond. Just then his red phone rang he picked it up. "Hammond"
"George, Jo has been kidnapped by Ba'al" Jack stated without preamble. Jack always liked to get to the point even even when he was being a donkey's hind end..
"Hey got company" Mr. President replied.
"You can tell them. Knowing what I saw in Admiral Rabb's eyes at the competition that he would try to get to the bottom of the kidnapping. You might as well tell Jo's self-defense teacher and his assistant as well." Jack realized that he and Harm were a lot alike. They both would move the entire galaxy and the entire earth just find their perspective daughters.
"Alright I will, but I think it would be better coming from you and the rest of the team, who I assume is standing around that office desk as we speak." President Hammond said.
"Ya think" Jack stated with a sarcastic tone, as he looked around and saw all his former teammates huddled together in the office.
Mr. President chuckled, "I will send them to Colorado. Talk to you later Jack" and then hung up the phone. Reached into his desk and pulled out some paper work to be sent to Jack and the rest of the mountain. Turning to the Admiral and his friends, "I need you to take this to Jack in Colorado Springs, CO at NORAD."
Harm and his companions nodded, and left. 'I wonder what that was about' he muttered to himself. "Well gentleman I guess we head to our respective wives at let them know we are going on a little trip."
A MOTHER SHIP HOVERING
OVER ABYDOS
Ba'al walked into the cell chamber that set up for his soon to be beautiful mistress. The guard opened the door and looked at the prisoner. She was light complicated, brown eyes, with blond hair. This isn't the right one. He looked over at the guard and yelled in Gou'ld "You got the wrong one."
The young girl looked at Ba'al and blurted out in Gou'ld and with a sarcastic tone replied "Ya think!"
Ba'al turned around and immediately knew who she belonged to. His switch to English "Your impudence will get you in trouble Miss O'Neill."
Jo looked at him in shock and anger. "First of all why did you kidnap me and second how do you know my name?"
"The answer to your first question is of no concern to you, and second I know O'Neill." He turned and left out of earshot.
"Go find the young dark beauty and if you mess this up you will die by my hand." he ordered the guard. Never even realizing that the guard was none other than R'yac son of Teal'c working with the Tokr'a on assignment.
