Not mine. Like to play with them.

Jack's POV

General Hammond called for two SF's to enter the room. He motioned for them to stand behind the extremely pale lieutenant and his father. Once they were in position, General Hammond pushed play on the VCR.

Jessie refused to look up. She had her head buried in my chest and was still sobbing quietly.

We watched in horrified fascination as the tape from the infirmary began playing. We watched the lieutenant reach for Jessie as she backed up towards the bed. He said something to her and she shook her head. I made out the words, "don't touch me." He reached for her again, grinning maliciously, and groped her breasts. He tried to kiss her and her powers exploded as she forced him against the wall. The next scene was Jessie cowering in the corner as Jack and I ran into the room.

"There you have it. Irrefutable evidence against the lieutenant," said General Hammond. We noticed that both SF's had grabbed the lieutenant and hauled him to his feet.

"I didn't see any wrongdoing on the lieutenant's part," said Kinsey. "He was trying to help this child onto the infirmary bed."

Senator Rheinhold stared at his son. "Why?"

"I didn't…"

"I told you what would happen if this happened again," said the Senator. "I've tried to protect you. But, this time, you've gone too far."

He turned to us. "I sincerely apologize for this. His mother and I tried to help him, but apparently it didn't work."

"What do you mean?" asked Daniel. "He's done this before?"

"Yes," was all the Senator would say.

"Get him out of here!" said General Hammond.

"Dad! Dad please!" exclaimed the lieutenant as the SF's dragged him out of the room.

"If he'd done this before, then how why was he allowed to work here?" demanded Sam.

"Not my doing," said Senator Rheinhold. He looked significantly as Kinsey.

"You son-of-a-bitch! You put him here, knowing what could happen!" exclaimed Daniel.

"That child does not belong here. She belongs in a facility that can tend to her special needs," he sneered.

I sat Jessie on Sam's lap. She still refused to look up. I crossed the room to Kinsey's side. "You're lucky I don't kill you myself."

"You wouldn't dare try," said Kinsey.

"Wanna bet?"

"Jack, sit down," said General Hammond.

I leaned down to Kinsey's ear. "You may be safe here, but once you leave this complex, you're fair game."

I watched the implication of what I had said, sink in. Kinsey paled and stuttered. "You're threatening me?"

"Yes."

"Colonel O'Neill. I am so sorry for what your family has had to go through these last few days. I sincerely hope that we can work past this," said Rheinhold.

"Get off of my base," demanded General Hammond. "Both of you."

Rheinhold nodded, stood, and left the room silently. Kinsey, on the other hand, refused to move. "I have an order here to take her with me."

"An order from whom?" asked General Hammond.

"The President."

"Bullshit," said Sam. "He wouldn't sign Jessie over to you."

"He would and he has," said Kinsey smugly handing a piece of paper to General Hammond.

Hammond paled as he read the information. "No," said Sam.

"Call the President," I said.

Hammond nodded and went to his office to dial the President. Sam rocked Jessie slowly. We were not going to lose our daughter. Sam buried my head in her hair and let her tears fall. We were both hardened soldiers. But, when it came to our daughter, I wasn't. Neither was Sam. I looked up when General Hammond re-entered the room.

"George?" asked dad.

"I…" he faltered. Clearing his throat, he tried again. "I'm sorry, Jack. I have no choice but to order Jessie to go with him."

"Jessie's not military. You can't order her to do anything," said dad.

"Jacob, don't make this any harder than it already is," begged General Hammond, his eyes swimming with tears.

Kinsey stood and walked around to us. He grabbed Jessie by the arm. "Come with me."

"Don't touch me," she whispered, jerking her arm away from him.

"You will come with me," said Kinsey, pulling a weapon. "You are mine now. You will learn to respect me."

"Like hell, I will," said Jessie. I pulled her into my arms. "I don't wanna go, daddy."

"You're not going anywhere but home with your mom and me," I said.

The two Tok'ra pulled zats. "You touch her, you die," said Malek. That kind of surprised me.

"You don't have a choice," said Kinsey. "It's from the President. Failure to comply will lead to immediate dismissal and imprisonment for all those involved."

"So? Do it," said Daniel, pulling his own weapon.

"I shall return," said Thor. In a blinding light, he disappeared.

Jessie was shaking uncontrollably in my arms. "I wanna go home," she muttered over and over again. "I wanna go home."

"As soon as Thor returns, we'll take you home, honey," Sam said wrapping her arms around her from behind. She didn't seem to hear her. She continued to mumble to herself.

Kinsey had his gun aimed at Jessie. Two more SF's had entered the room, along with Siler and Walter. They had their weapons aimed at Kinsey.

In a flash of light, Thor reappeared with the President. "This is your President, correct?"

Sam's POV

"Yeah," said Jack, as I backed away from Jessie. She turned her head and looked at me with such sadness in her eyes, it nearly broke my heart.

"This is not the man you spoke to earlier," he said to General Hammond. "The man you spoke to earlier had possession of a mimic device. He has been dealt with."

"You're not getting away with this," said Kinsey. "I have your signature on this form," he said to the President.

"Not my signature. That of my duplicate," said the President. "Jessie will stay with her family. You, on the other hand, have a lot of explaining to do."

Kinsey fired his gun at Jessie, just as Jessie's shield came up, surrounding us. The bullet bounced off and hit Kinsey in the chest.

He looked down at the blood spreading across his chest. "It wasn't supposed to happen this way," he muttered as he collapsed to the floor.

Jessie let go of Jack and made her way to the man lying on the floor. "I should let you die for you you've done to me," she said as she knelt beside him.

We could all see the fear in Kinsey's eyes. "But, I won't. I'm not like you. I'm glad I'm not like you," she said softly. She held her hands over his chest and healed his wound. She got up and stumbled her way back over to me and Jack.

"Can we go home, now?" she asked quietly.

"What did you do to me?" demanded Kinsey.

"She saved your sorry ass," said the President. "Maybe now, you'll leave her and her family alone."

He started to say something else to Jessie, but was beamed out by Thor. "Hopefully, he'll have learned his lesson," said Daniel.

"Doubtful," said Jessie. "People like him are the reason I've been scared for so long. They see what I can do and they want to know why. Even when they're given a reason, they still want to know why."

"Take her home, Jack," said the President. "We'll clean up here."

"Are there any more mimic devices missing?" I asked as I hugged my daughter tightly.

"No. Just the one. They're all under lock and key with only two people knowing the combination."

"Thank you, sir," said Jack as he pulled Jessie into his own embrace.

"Hey, no tug-of-war with the kid," mumbled Jessie.

Jack chuckled as he pulled me into arms. "Let's go home," he said.
