I take off running with Teal'c right behind when I hear the Colonel's message. He gives a rough estimate of their location, but by the time we get he and Daniel are both gone.

Teal'c bends down to study the tracks while one thought runs over and over in my mind. Daniel, they've taken Daniel. I have to get him back, and the Colonel too. I need him, I can't loose him again not after having just found him. Panic runs through me for a moment, but then my training kicks in.

I look over at Teal'c. "Can you track them?"

"Indeed. They have made little effort to conceal their movements."

I adjust my grip on my P90 and motion for Teal'c to lead the way.


We find the mother ship sitting high on a ridge. It wouldn't be easy to approach, but Teal'c says we can access it if we climb the cliff face below.

I look again up at the large ship looming above us and agree. The Jaffa will not expect us to come that way.

From his pack, Teal'c removes the climbing equipment, checking to make sure it is ready. We'll attempt the climb at dusk.

Slowly, hand by hand, we move up the rock face. It's actually an easy climb, almost relaxing if we didn't have to infiltrate a Goa'uld mothership when we reach the top.

Full night has fallen as we crest the top. Hiding in the shadows, Teal'c and I move into position and wait for our opportunity.

I study the terrain, weighing up my options. I know there isn't much time until they leave again. From the looks of it, the Jaffa were only re-supplying. I watch them bring on foodstuff and water.

Looking to Teal'c, I ask, "How many have you seen? I count ten of them, but there might be more inside. I think we're going to have to take a chance."

"I agree, Major Carter. Once the two foraging parties have left once more we will make our move."

We wait until both teams leave, and then without a word, we make our way onto the ship.

We've been inside motherships before so it doesn't take long to locate the Colonel and Daniel.

As I call their names, they look up and move to the edge of the cell. I begin to pick the lock and Teal'c keeps watch. The lock clicks open and we all move out. So far so good.

There's a small bit of resistance in the hallways but we push through without too much difficulty. We advance and the Colonel and Daniel take up the dead Jaffa's weapons while continuing to fire, as we continue toward the exit. The moment we are clear we head for the treeline.

That's when they hit us. Daniel and the Colonel take cover behind Teal'c and myself, but the Jaffa have a better position. I manage to pick one off and Teal'c takes out a few more.. The last three manage to pin us down while the leader calls for reinforcements.

Then we're cut off from behind as one of the patrols return. They drop their burdens and begin fire. We create a circle, trying to move forward toward the five new Jaffa. We manage to kill and wound a few more, creating a break in their line.

No one says a word as we dash for the opening. I keep an eye on the others, but we have to keep moving. I see the Jaffa out of the corner of my eye and I want to call out, but my voice is stuck in my throat.

"Daniel!" I shout but it's too late. He hits the ground, rolls, and lays there unmoving. Time stops.


One more and an short epilogue after this. I should have it all up by the end of the week.
