Truth & Lies

Briar Elwood

A/N: ACK!!!! THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU WHO GAVE THEIR WONDERFUL IDEAS!!! I don't believe I had a single BAD idea…it was so hard to choose once they started coming! Luckily, I have managed to weave in more than one of you all's ideas…though I really wish I could use more! This chapter does not reveal, specifically, which idea I chose, there were a few that were similar. However, I can move forward now, so THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

4: Trusted

"Hey, Cam, you seen Daniel around?" Sam asked. Cam turned and winced.

"Uh, yeah, actually," he replied. "I think something's goin' on between him and Vala."

Cam frowned as Sam drew a sharp intake of air. "He probably…aw, crap. Have you seen her lately?"

Cam shook his head. "No. Why? What's goin' on, Sam?"
"Well…you know not everything Vala says is the truth. It's just her nature," Sam started. "Turns out its more than that. I was trying to clear up this whole situation with Adria and stumbled on a few things…"

"And Jackson found out?" Cam asked incredulously. "How?"

"Well, at this point, with all the data we've got from Adria it wouldn't be too hard…" Sam trailed off, shaking her head. "The thing is, though, this kinda eliminates how much we trust Vala. Who knows how much we've compromised, how much we've been led on!"
"I don't think the things that matter…"

"And what do you have to back that up, Cam?" she interrupted. "I'm still not quite sure what the results are saying but I know she's not who she says she is. I'm not even sure she's human anymore."

"Oh, c'mon, Sam, think about it!" Cam argued, trying to hide the fact he knew she was right. "Vala wouldn't…I mean, Jackson trusted…well, what are we supposed to do?" he demanded angrily.

"First we have to find Vala," Sam replied. "And Daniel should be able to help with that. They're inseparable."

"I wouldn't be too sure…"

"Where was he when you saw him?" she asked.

"Running to his truck," Cam answered gruffly. "And he snapped at me when I asked about a certain woman."

"I'll grab Teal'c," Sam told him. "Meet you at your truck in fifteen minutes?"

Cam shrugged. "Sure."
