"This Sir, is what's making Colonel O'Neill act the way he is"
"What is it?" Hammond asked looking at the screen before him as Janet pointed to little specks of light in a diagram of Jacks bloodstream.
"I don't know but it seems to be some sort of energy source feeding off the limbic portion of the brain." Hammond, Daniel and Teal'c looked at her
"Care to explain?" Hammond asked. Janet nodded slowly and sat down lacing her fingers together
"Anger is a primitive emotion that arises in the limbic part of the brain, its function is to prepare it's possessor for a life or death situation. The main sources of anger are pain and fear…"
"So you're saying that this thing is heightening Jack's response to pain and fear?" Hammond watched Janet nodded
"Yes, causing a surge of anger that Colonel O'Neill can't stop even if he wanted too"
"That would explain the scene in the corridor. Jack was in pain because of what he did to Sam and his fear of not getting to her caused his anger to explode" Daniel concluded. Janet nodded
"Exactly, but what we don't know is why Sam is the only one that targets the reaction in the Colonel" Daniel looked across at Teal'c.
"When we were on that planet P3 815 Sam had to go help Jack with something in one of the temples while Teal'c and I search some old ruins, the next thing we knew there was a bright flash and then nothing. When we found them they were unconscious with no signs of injuries, we just assumed it was some sort of a trap to knock out any intruders long enough until the people of the world came to take them hostage" Daniel finished. Janet nodded
"That could be why you and Teal'c are unaffected." Daniel looked at her
"Well what about Sam, wouldn't she have some of this in her blood stream?" Janet pursed her lips.
"It could be possible, all tests we did came back negative but so did the Colonels until we took the test when he was agitated"
"So you're saying that we need to take Major Carter's blood when she is also agitated" Hammond asked. Janet nodded
"Yes Sir, and then we may find out why Colonel O'Neill targets Sam, and we may find out what this thing is and what it does" Daniel and Teal'c looked across at Hammond who kept a serious eye on Janet.
"Well what ever it is, how do we get it out of him before he tries to attack Major Carter again?" Janet pursed her lips for a moment and looked him straight in the eyes.
"Sir, for all I can tell we can't" Hammonds eyes went wide.
"We can't?" Janet shook her head.
"Sir, at this moment I suggest we keep Sam and the Colonel apart until we can figure this out" Hammond nodded.
"Do what you have to"

Sam lay in the infirmary staring at the roof. She had been awake for a long time now trying to recall everything from the last few days. Sam sighed as she thought of the session earlier before she collapsed and what she had said to Jack…
"Is that what you were trying to do Sir, in the hall? Shut me up because you are so sick of me talking, so sick of trying to understand me, so you thought it would be easier to get rid of me out of your life then to put up with me?!!"
Sam remembered it loud and clear and even though she knew she had said it to make Jack angry she couldn't help but feel it was somewhat true. Sam let out a breath again and managed to roll onto her side. She sucked in a breath from the pain but held strong. Once on her side her eyes flicked to the monitor as it beeped quietly in the darkness. Staring at it, her thoughts flashed back to Jack and wondered where he was right now. Sam swallowed and closed her eyes when suddenly a hand wrapped around her mouth. Sam froze as she felt someone's breath on the side of her face. She knew who it was before she saw him.
"Let's take a walk Major" Jack whispered fiercely as he dragged her tired body off the bed. Sam fought him and the monitors beeped loudly but Jack pulled it out as he dragged Sam towards the door.

The Alarms sounded loudly throughout the base.
"What's going on here?" Hammond demanded looking at Daniel and Teal'c for answers, just then Janet rushed in.
"Sir, Sam's gone and so is Colonel O'Neill. I think he's taken her" Hammond turned quickly
"Seal off the base! I want this mountain searched from head to toe!" Daniel looked at him
"What if he's already made it off base?" Hammond stopped and looked back at him
"Let's pray that hasn't happened."

"Let go of me!" Sam thrashed against Jack grip as he pushed her hard through the thick scrub terrain. Sam was weak and she knew she had to get help. Jack and managed to sneak them out through a secret exit in the base and now they were a long way away from the base. "Let go of me!" Sam shouted again then suddenly she tripped and fell over to only be grabbed by Jack who hauled her to her feet again
"Shut up and walk" he growled as they made it to a clearing near a river. Sam had a bad feeling about this.
"Sir, you are sick, you need help" she tried to reason with him. Suddenly he pushed her to the ground hard hurting her arms as he did so
"Argh!" Sam managed to roll over when in a split second Jack knelt on her stomach. Sam hissed with pain as the stitches from her wound ripped. "Oh god!" She cried. Suddenly his hand wrapped around her throat and she felt a gun press against her head, then she heard a click and for the first time Sam could see that Jack's facial expression was shaking as if he was fighting something inside of him. "Sir!…" She tried to talk and remove his hand with her own but he squeezed tighter cutting her air off. Their eyes met
"There's no saving you now. You're mine… Forever mine"
