Chapter 7

"Well then, who did the writing and stuff in that room back there?" Jack asked.

"The knowledge you have got was put there by the two Ancient lovers. They did that, with the writing on the wall just outside the room, just before they both died. Their children and the rest of the other families lived on and most of them travelled through the gate, never to return. For the rest of the writing, it seems that two had survived and they finished the writings on the wall before going through the gate to look for their families"

"Wow, that is interesting" Sam said.

"Yea, they were brother and sister; it was their grandparents who were the Ancient lovers."

"Did they leave an address for us to check out?"

"Yes they did, but it is on the camera with all the other pictures that I have taken."

"Ok, let's get some sleep. Teal'c, you can take first watch, then you Daniel and I'll take third and Sam, you are last, ok?"

They all agreed and they all went to sleep. Jack and Sam lay there together holding hands while sleeping.

Mean while, back at the first wall, Baal arrived.

"My Lord, we found these writings on the wall and I do not know the writings," one of the Jaffa said as he bowed down to Baal.

"What about the readings that I got from the ship? There must be a weapon here somewhere, find it."

"Yes my lord" then Baal went back to the cargo ship and left to go back to his mothership. Baal's First Prime sent most of the Jaffa out to see what they could find.

The next morning, Jack woke up early and Sam was on her shift.

"Morning; did you manage to get some sleep?" Sam asked as she passed him a canteen of water.

"Morning, a little."

Jack took a swallow of the water, and then put the top back on it and then he put it on the ground next to Daniell He got up and had a stretch and he walked over to where Sam was standing. He wrapped his arms around her and gave her a morning kiss.

"I'll be back, watch the kids."

"Ok, don't go too far."

"I won't, I promise."

He gave her a quick kiss before disappearing in to the bushes. Jack relieved himself and once finished, he heard water running. He went to check it out and was shocked to find a small water fall and the water was red. Then he remembered what Daniel had said last night and he took a chance and took a small mouth full; the water was sweet, so he headed back to where the others were. He was smiling, when Sam saw him and she looked confused. Jack then woke up both Teal'c and Daniel.

"What is it Jack" Daniel ask half asleep.

"You remember what you told us about the red water?"

"Yes, that it has healing powers; why?"

"I found it"

"You're joking?" Daniel sat up quickly and put his glasses on.

"Nope, I had just finished relieving myself when I heard water running; I knew we weren't near the river, so I check it out and I found it."

"Where? Show me."

"Ok, ok; come on, lets get pack up and then I'll show you."

A few minutes later Jack showed them where the water was. Jack then took a mouth full of the water and the others watched him.

"See, nothing happened; the water tastes sweet. Here Daniel, you try it and you too Sam. I don't know what sort of reaction junior will have to this stuff though Teal'c."

"I will just carry water with me O'Neill."

"Ok, come on Sam, Daniel" Sam took a mouth full.

"He's right it is sweet Daniel; here, try some" then Daniel took a mouth full.

"Hey, you're right, it is sweet. We should fill our canteens up with this stuff."

They filled up Teal'c's canteen with water and then drank the last couple of mouth fulls them selves before filling their canteens with the sweet, red water. Once they were done, they decided to head back to where they were camping next to the wall. As they got close to the camp, they noticed that there were four men standing in front of Baal. They could see that he wasn't happy with them.

"Oh god, Jack, it's the Tok'ra spies in Baal's ranks" Sam whispered to him.

"Shit"

"They will not tell him that we are here O'Neill."

"I know, damn it!"

Then they saw four Jaffa shoot them and Jack held on to Sam's hand when it happened. They heard Baal tell the Jaffa to bury them and then to continue looking for the weapon. They watched the four Jaffa's drag the 4 Tok'ra's bodies into the wooded area and they decided to follow them and Sam noticed that Tel'mac was still alive.

"Jack, Tel'mac is still alive. If he is alive then the others might be also."

"Ok, we will have to jump the Jaffa; it is our only option."

They all agreed. They snuck up behind the, and knocked the Jaffa to the ground. One managed to get his zat out and was just about to fire it at Sam when she quickly put her right hand up, with the palm pointing towards the Jaffa. The next second the Jaffa was flying back against a tree and was knocked out. Then she did it again when Daniel was having problems.

"Jaffa kree" Sam said,

The Jaffa turned to look at Sam and she did it again. This time Daniel saw her palm glow, but there was no noise, nothing. Then he saw the Jaffa hitting the tree and being knocked out.

"Thanks Sam" Daniel said.

"No problem."

Then she noticed that one of the Jaffa had Jack on the ground and she walked up to him and said,

"Hey, you pick on someone your own size."

The Jaffa turned to look at Sam standing there; it gave Jack the opportunity to hit the guy in the face but then Sam noticed that he pulled out a knife and stabbed Jack in his stomach. When she saw that, she raised her right hand and he went flying up against a tree. When he hit the ground, it didn't knock him out but Daniel was over to him with a zat, pointing it at the Jaffa.

"You made a big mistake, pal," Daniel said.

Teal'c was able to knock the last Jaffa out cold. Sam was down on her knees next to Jack, crying,

"Jack, please don't die on me now; I love you."

"I love you too, Sam."
