Chapter Ten: Decisions and Outcomes

Karug's eyes enlarged for a moment as his ship began to quaver with hard and constant whacks to the shields. His eyes pinned her for a moment as his second, Garish, hurriedly entered and approached his right hand side. Karug set his jaw hard and took a deep breath. "Take her to the other end of the ship, inside room Azban. Have one of your men keep a close eye on her." Garish nodded and grabbed Samantha's arm leading her out of the room

Karug raced for his bridge, hurriedly moving around boxes that had been left out from the last trip. The moment he stepped into his head room his eyes narrowed at what he saw. Yowleth's ship lay before them their weapons shooting at his ship. "Sir, he's taken out our weapons, shields at ten percent." Karug tightened his body, "get us out of here Rowling, NOW!" They had moved maybe a mile when Karug saw the worst of the worst-the bright yellow and white light that indicated a ship being destroyed. It started to get into the atmosphere of a planet burning powerfully. They were just about to impact and break into a million pieces. Karug kept his eyes open and-

-watched his ship land and splinter into a hundred bits from the ship that had destroyed it. He turned quickly around to find Yowleth not ten feet from him.

"Ah, Karug, how enticing to see your pitifial body before me once more. I see you need a new ship to stay in, welcome to my ship, or your prison, however you might view it."

Yowleth's red nails gleamed in the light sending a feeling of utter and complete hatred through Karug being. "You just destroyed my ship! Killing the one person you had sent to the Red Delta! Damn you!" Karug snapped, seething underneath.

"Twas not to my knowledge that you still carried that baggage. You killed her yourself," he turned to his second, "take this menacing figure to the cell with the two doors. For his own safety." Yowleth's sharp teeth gleamed in the light as Karug was dragged away fighting. "Keep searching for my daughter," Yowleth ordered the other men in the room. It was his day to shine, it would only take a little bit more time to find his daughter.

Daniel's eye took in the buildings surrounding them. Most were made from wood, stone, or clay with roofs made out of metal. His mind searched through all of its knowledge searching for anything to fit these people but he came up blank.

"Jackson?" Cam asked with a look at Daniel before his eyes looked further into the area surrounding them.

"We should get inside somewhere," Daniel told him slowly beginning to walk to the right.

"Okay. Sounds good," Cam responded matching Daniel's walk with Vala in between them.

"You know, we'd find out a lot more if we visited an inn or a brewery. Whichever you men prefer," Vala said with a slight toss of her hair, "you never know what you can find."

"Or lose," Daniel muttered, glad for the zats they had on them. Daniel stopped and moved to the side of the road when he caught an image of a man he had known for many many years....Jack O'Neill. Daniel rubbed his lips together for a moment. "Actually, Vala's right."

Cam and Vala stopped for a moment. "She is?"

"I am?" Vala said at the same time as they both look at Daniel.

"Well yes. If we get a drink and sit down, we'll be able to pick up all the conversations going on around us. That inn over on the right hand side looks to be prosperous. They never turn down good business."

"Daniel, you sure about this?" Cam asked shortly, making sure that this was in fact a good idea.

"Of course he's sure. Afterall, it was my idea," Vala replied starting to walk off toward the inn.

"Okay," Cam finally said as they got closer. He also caught sight of Jack when they were within thirty feet of the window. "Daniel-"

"I know," Daniel replied before they entered and made their way over to his table.

Jack watched them enter and come over to his table and three emotions hit him at the same time. He had great joy that they were there. He had angst because Sam was not with them. He also had a bit or turmoil because he had sworn to stay with the woman and help her get her child back which meant that he couldn't go back to Earth and he couldn't stay with the group. "Where's Sam?" he asked them meeting Daniel's eyes.

"We don't know Jack," Daniel replied his eyes sending his regrets for it.

"We had hoped that you would know Sir," Cam said as Vala pushed them into the seat across from Jack.

"Daniel, find her at any cost," Jack told him meeting his eyes.

"Sir, we will do that, but we have to get you back to Earth first," Cam told him straightening his shoulders slightly and meeting his superior's gaze.

"No Colonel, you are to find my wife first and get her back to Earth. That's an order," Jack stated simply.

"Jack," Daniel stated equally meeting Jack's eyes, "what's going on?"

"Daniel," Jack replied meeting the gaze his friend sent at him before tossing his eyes to Cam and Vala before back to Daniel.

Daniel nodded and looked at Cam. Cam nodded slightly and pushed Vala in the side, "Come on. Let's go get one of those drinks you were talking about Vala."

"Hmm, I didn't know you were interested in that Cam," Vala replied seductively before grabbing his hand and leading him to the bar.

That left only Daniel and Jack at the table. "Jack-"

"The ship that I got taken into had a woman who's child was taken from her. I'm going to help her find her daughter and then continue to look for Sam unless you already have her by that time."

"Jack-"

"Daniel. Keep her safe. Make sure she does not come after me. Take care of her if I don't come back." His eyes met Daniel's and the emotions of both of them were visible in the eyes and both caught it.

Daniel watched Jack for a moment and finally nodded, "I will. Be careful Jack."

Jack watched Daniel get up and watched all three of them walk out of the inn and away. He just had to wonder whether he made the right decision or not....
