Chapter Five

Jack sat in his D.C. office concerned for Daniel. His pungent for trouble was legendary.

Daniel being scared, now that was whole 'nother ball of wax altogether, and then have someone tell him he couldn't talk was downright disconcerting. The knock on his door brought him out of his thoughts over Daniel, "Enter."

"General O'Neill would you come with me please."

Jack looked at the man before him and narrowed his eyes, "You mind telling me where I'm going before I waltz out of my office."

"Senator Keller would like to talk to you, since you have the necessary security clearance."

Jack was on high alert. His gut was churning but he wasn't going to let this guy know it, "Lead the way." As he grabbed his jacket off the back of his office chair and headed out the door.

As both men walked toward Senator Keller's office each man watched each other out of the corner of their eye. Measuring what each man for what they were. The man to Jack's left opened an outer door, "Suzie would you please let Senator Keller know that General O'Neill and I are here."

Jack glanced at Suzie as she let Senator Keller know of their presence. Once that was completed they preceded into John Keller's office.

Senator John Keller looked up from his desk as his guests entered his office. He only worked at the Pentagon two times out of the week. Sometimes not all. Diego Garcia was taking too much of his time as of late. The current incident with a Decepticon named Barricade, was one example. He was glad that his people were able take Barricade out but he knew that there would be another Decepticon scout before long and he wanted to nip that in the bud. The only way he knew that would happen would be to put an experienced special ops man in with Major Will Lennox and General O'Neill fit the bill.

Keller watched as aide Darren Palmer and O'Neill waked into the room. He knew deep down he had made the right choice. "General O'Neil have a seat."

Jack raised his eyebrow high enough for the Senator to get to the point as he and Palmer sat down in the office chairs.

Keller had, and continued to, work with Lennox to know the facial expression that O'Neil was giving him meant. He nodded his head and began explanation, "The reason I asked for you is twofold. One you get to work with a team of experienced special forces which will put you back in the field and two I need someone that will work with, not against, the commanding officer out of Diego Garcia. Since you have the necessary security clearance I want to read you into a project that's been going on for the past two years plus." He handed the folder of the autobots to O'Neill.

As Jack read what was in front of him he became more curious by the minute. The autobots consisted of a top six man team. 'Well', he thought, 'just like mine.'

"Senator my I pick my own team to go with me? If so, it will be five other besides myself."

Keller nodded his head, "Who do want with you?"

"Val Mal Doran space pirate, Teal'c of Chulak, Colonel Samantha Carter USAF, Lieutenant Colonel Cameron Mitchell USAF, and Dr. Daniel Jackson."

"From what I've heard Dr. Jackson and Dr. Cassie Fraiser got first hand experience today."

"Oh boy," Jack muttered. He winced internally. Cassie was going to be throwing syringes like darts after this was all over.

"They are all back at Diego Garcia recuperating. Lieutenant Colonel Paul Davis will be heading out there to be the liaison for us. Davis had been training Palmer for his job."

Jack looked at Palmer out of the corner of his eye and hoped he would do just as a good a job as Davis had done. Senator Keller had wanted the best and recruited the best. Jack was slightly impressed, "When do my team and I leave sir?"

"0700 tomorrow morning and will be arriving at Diego Garcia tomorrow afternoon around 1300."

Jack nodded his head, as he saw Keller nod his head toward the office door. He stood and gave a snappy salute and muttered on his way out the door, "Emerald City here I come."
