She felt absolutely miserable. Her head ached, she felt sick to her stomach, she had barely eaten anything in days or taken care of herself for that matter. But she knew what she had to do. After crying herself to sleep last night she woke up realizing how much sense Daniel made even though she was still pretty upset with him. Looking at her clock she noticed it was already 1000 hours. Jumping out of bed she pulled on some jeans and an oversized sweatshirt over her bed head and white tank top she slept in before getting in her car and speeding off to the SGC. Sam all but ran into the complex straight to the control room…nobody was there. So she took the stairs up to the briefing room…
"She already left. Two hours ago. Jack should be back any minute. When he gets back we have our briefing and then we're heading out." Daniel told her simply as he stood staring down at the gate. He didn't even have to turn around to know it was her that came charging up those stairs. Sam just watched a few feet away from him as the gate started up. She didn't even respond to him either, knowing it was the General without question she took her seat at the table and waited for the briefing to take place. She was already feeling like a complete failure, her hands shaking, eyes off in a daze, heart pounding but as soon as the General and Teal'c walked into the room her heart jumped into her throat and she could hardly breathe
"Daniel, Carter. Let's begin…" They all took their places and started the briefing with Daniel leading. Sam didn't listen to a word anyone said, she simply sat there staring at the folder before her as if it were blank. Before she knew it, the briefing was over, they changed their clothes, and were walking up the ramp.
The stargate disengaged behind her as she aimlessly walked down the stone steps. She was surprised Jack even allowed her to come in the first place knowing how 'unstable' they all thought she was. She didn't even know what hit her but as soon as she stepped foot in the grass something hit her from behind and she went face down into the ground as everything went black.

His head was pounding and there was something wrong with his leg, he couldn't move it. Sitting up he looked around the grassy plain in search of his friends…he only saw one.
"Teal'c!" Daniel cried over to his large friend who was currently walking towards him.
"Daniel Jackson, I cannot seem to locate Colonel Carter. We were attacked as soon as we stepped through the stargate. I had just regained consciousness before you." Teal'c explained kneeling down next to him checking his injuries.
"I think my leg is broken…" He tried moving it a little but cried out in pain before he even moved it. "Yep, definitely broken!"
"Daniel Jackson we must return to the SGC for reinforcements to find Colonel Carter. You cannot continue and need medical attention. I shall return with a team and search for Colonel Carter." Daniel could see the concern for Sam written on the large man's usually stoic face.
"Help me up." He ground out but Teal'c refused.
"You have stated your leg is broken Daniel Jackson, I believe it would be wise to have the SGC send through medical assistance rather than move you myself and injure you further." Daniel just nodded giving in as he watched Teal'c dial the gate and send for reinforcements as well as medical.
AN: Just what they need right now. Especially Sam...she didn't show up in time for Grace, but she showed up in time for the mission...unfortunately it doesn't seem to be a good mission either. Suspense! Sorry it was short...but I promise the next chapter will make up for that. [:
