Chapter 11
"No talking" A man said as he walked in to the room. He walked over to Sam, Janet and Melody and punched them all in the stomach. Sam glared at the man and he grinned at her, the sight of it made her stomach turn. "You have a spirit, it is a shame I will not get to spend time destroying it but I'm sure whoever buys you will enjoy doing it themselves"
The man grabbed Sams face and pulled it to within an inch of his. His breath smelt horrible and Sam was sure she was going to be sick if he didn't get away from her.
"Leave her alone" Janet said earning herself a smack across the face.
"We'll have no more outbursts from you" He said as he leered at her. "I think I'd enjoy breaking your spirit even more" The man turned and walked away
"Are you okay?" Sam asked her friend.
"I'm just great"

Jack, Daniel, Teal'c and Kaleth walked into the auction hall. It was a large room with a stage at one side of it. There were also raised platforms around the edges of the hall. Kaleth had told them that the important clients were given raised platforms so they could get a better view of the stage and be out of the huge crowd that always gathered at these events.
Kaleth had explained the entire auction to them over and over again; the women would be walked onto the stage and one by one sold off to the highest bidder. They would then be taken back to the room they were kept in until the payment was made by their buyer.
A man walked out of a door way onto the stage "Ladies and Gentlemen thank you for coming. We have a great selection of women for you to choose from this afternoon so let the show begin.

Sam stood in the line with all the other girls ready to be marched on stage and bought by some sick psychopath. She had spent the last two hours trying to figure out a way out but so far had found none. She had stopped running her mouth off though, all it ever got was her and Janet a beating.
"Alright go" said the man standing at the front of the line and the women started to walk out on to the stage. Janet and Melody were standing just in front of her and did as they were told following the other girls out onto the stage. Sam however refused to move so one of the men grabbed her and dragged her out on onto the stage. He let go and walked away once Sam was in her position next to Janet.
Another man walked along the front of the line of girls and Sam recognised him as the man who had taken a liking to Janet. He had been staring at her and grabbing her a lot over the past two hours and had been the cause of a lot of their beatings. As Sam had expected he stopped in front of Janet.
"I'm going to miss you, it's a shame I will not get to have my own fun with you" he reached a hand to up to grab Janet's face and pulled her to him. Janet just glared at him and he leant his face down to hers so Sam stepped in front of her.
"I don't think so"
"I'm going to miss you too, you will learn obedience" he said and he back handed her across the face. Janet made a move to toward him but Sam stopped her and simply glared at the man who smirked and continued down the line.

Jack watched as all the women walked onto the stage one by one. He was surprised when he saw Melody walk out in front of Janet and then there was a short gap before Sam was dragged out and onto the stage. He almost had to laugh at the sight of Sam being difficult. The man released his hold on her and walked away as another man made his way along the front of the line. He stooped in front of Janet and said something to her. Jack and Teal'c had to grab Daniel as the man roughly grabbed Janet's face and pulled her to him.
Janet's glare was visible from here and the man leaned his face down to her. Both he and Teal'c had to tighten their hold on Daniel. Sam however stepped in front of Janet and after the man said something to her he backhanded her across the face. Jack felt his blood begin to boil and it took all his self control not to walk up on stage and kick the crap out of the guy. Janet took a step towards the guy when Sam stopped her, glaring at the man as he smirked and walked away. Another man grabbed her and pulled her back in to her position in the line.
"They shouldn't have done that"
Everyone turned to look at Kaleth "What?"
"You see that man up there" he said pointing to a rough looking, well built man who was sitting on one of the platforms. "That's Andreas; he's one of the really special clients here. He has somewhat of a reputation, he likes women with spirit, he likes to break them. He will buy both Sam and Janet now; he has seen that they both have spirit and that they are very protective of one another. He will want to break them and he will also enjoy the rise he'll get out of them every time he lays a hand on the other. He's known for being unbelievably rough with his women".
"And you know this how?"
"He once bought a friend of mine, she was able to speak with me a couple of times before he found out she was talking to someone outside of his house and punished her for it. She stopped meeting with me after that"
"Does she still work for him now?"
"No"
"So where is she?"
"She's dead"
"How did she die?" Jack asked unsure he wanted to know the answer.
"I don't know for sure but probably the same way a lot of Andreas's women die, they get a beating that goes too far and kills them"
"That's just great, at least we'll get them out before he can take them home" Jack said.
"There's another problem"
"What's that?"
"This building has special client rooms where clients like Andreas can…test out their merchandise before they buy it"
"You mean he's gonna…?" Jack asked trailing off, unable to complete that sentence.
Kaleth nodded his head.
