Sam was tired, she crossed the Pakistani border before nightfall. She had four bottles of water left with her so she walked till she saw the light of the camp.
By that time, the sun was starting to rise. When she walked to the base, the guard saw her walking towards them, so one got on the radio as they walked towards Sam till they stopped just as jeeps showed up and guns pointed at her.
"Boy, am I glad to see you guys, did Jack make it?"
"Who are you?"
"Lieutenant Samantha Carter, got a drink?" then she collapsed on the ground.
They quickly checked her over while a medical team and doctor showed up. When he saw her face, he was shocked,
"Some one get the General, tell him Lieutenant Carter is alive."
"You know her doctor?"
"I've seen her photo, she was reported MIA, come on let's move it!"
Then they put Sam on a stretcher, got her on the back of a jeep and headed to the infirmary where the General was when he got word of who the woman was. When he saw her, he was shocked. The medical staff worked around her cleaning her up, putting an IV in her before taking her into surgery.
The General went back to his office and called the Chief of Staff to give him the good news.
"General sir, I have some good news!"
"General, I was in a meeting!"
"Sorry sir, First Lieutenant Carter is alive sir, she just walked onto the base twenty minutes ago, guards saw her two hundred meters from the base."
"That is good news, what's her condition?"
"Don't know yet General, she's in surgery as we speak."
"Ok, keep me posted General."
"Yes sir," then they hung up.
Then the General went to tell Jack that Sam was alive, when he walked into the ward where Jack was, he walked over to his bed.
"General, what's going on?"
"I've come to give you some news… Lieutenant Carter is alive!"
"Rescue mission?"
"No, she must have walked here," Jack was shocked to hear that Sam was alive.
"Where is she sir?"
"In surgery, that's all I know," Jack nodded.
"Thanks for telling me General… she must have escaped and walked all the way here, she must have walked three days with no sleep!"
"We won't know till I talk to her."
"Yes sir, thanks for telling me." The General turned and walked away leaving Jack alone.
Jack was shocked but happy that she was alive, he had been wondering what happened to her. Then he remembered that she might be pregnant, if she was, he wondered if everything was ok. Then he realised that he was going home tomorrow, he hoped that he would get a chance to see her before he returned back stateside, to thank her. He knew all he could do was wait.
Later that evening, the doctor walked over to Jack's bed to check on him before turning in for the night.
"Colonel, how are you feeling?"
"Good, how's Lieutenant Carter, the General told me."
"She's going to be fine Colonel."
"Doc?" He looked at the doc wondering what was wrong with Sam.
"Sorry Colonel, I can't say."
"Can you do some thing for me?"
"What is it?"
"Tomorrow, before I leave, I would like to see her just for a minute, I want to thank her for saving my life," he smiled.
"Sure, she's been asking about you, wondering if you made it here or not."
"You haven't told her?"
"No, tomorrow I will, now get some sleep you've got a long trip back to stateside."
"I know, thanks doc." Then the doctor walked away leaving Jack to get some rest.
The next morning, Jack was in a wheelchair, a nurse pushed him into the room where Sam was, then she walked out leaving them alone for a few minutes.
Jack wheeled himself over to the bed, he could see she was sleeping. He put his hand into hers while looking at her. When Sam woke up, she felt a warm hand on hers, she opened her eyes and blinked a few times before turning her head to see who it was.
"Hey, how are you feeling?"
"Jack!"
"Yeah, it's me, I was told that you were killed." Sam snorted which made Jack raise an eyebrow.
"What?"
"Just like you, when everyone thought you died."
"Yeah, I can't stay long, I've been shipped stateside and am leaving in few minutes."
"Oh, ok."
"What happened?"
"They raped me while I was unconscious and I woke up naked and bruised from what they did to me."
"Oh Sam, I'm sorry. I would have gotten you out but I had no weapon and I thought you had died."
"Well I'm here alive."
"Yes you are… I almost didn't make it."
"You?"
"Yeah, they had to revive me twice on the table."
"Oh, well, at least you're going to be ok and are going home."
"So are you, in few days."
"I know, I was told this morning… Jack, I killed them all, I did it out of anger."
"You have every right to be after what they did to you."
"I know… the leader, he… he tried to rape me again… I stopped him."
"Good for you."
"I cut his dick off and cut his neck through, but not all the way through, and I shoved his own dick in his mouth," Jack looked at her in shock.
"Should I be worried?" Sam smiled.
"No, you're safe, the others who raped me, I shot their dicks off and left them in the locked cell screaming their lungs out as I went all rambo and killed all the men there."
"Rambo Sam… hang on, what about… clothing?"
"Naked"
"Wow, that is one way to distract them, I'm proud for what you have done."
"Are you?"
"Yes and thank you for saving my life."
"You're welcome." Then an airman knocked then opened the door.
"Sorry sir, it's time," Jack and Sam looked at the airman.
"Thank you airman," then Jack turned and looked at Sam.
"When I return, I'll put in my report about what we had to do and the reason why. I'm sure they would understand."
"No, don't… I'm not pregnant, with what those bastards did to me… I was also bleeding when I woke up, sorry," then tears started falling down her cheek.
"Hey, it's not your fault… I better go, look after yourself."
"You too Jack, just one question, what rank are you?"
"Lieutenant Colonel."
"Ok, take care."
"You too Lieutenant."
"Yes… sir!"
"Bye!"
"No!"
"No?" He frowned.
"Till we meet again, one day our paths will cross again," he smiled.
"One day."
Then they squeezed each other's hand before he let go and looked into her eyes one last time before he turned around and wheeled to the door and out, then the door closed. Sam cried herself to sleep not long afterwards.
