Sg1 stepped through the gate into the ruins of an ancient temple which was just down the hill

Daniel POV

Watching as Jack charged over I felt my heart drop, oh God, I had called the security teams and was waiting for them to get here. Realising I was letting it escape I left getting my gun Jack had made me carry. The door to isolation opened I waited knowing it would be the Gould as Jack and Teal'c were both unconscious.

My gun was shaking but I knew I had to restrain him, I shot him in the knee like Jack and Sam had taught me this should slow him down. It hit amazingly and he fell before roaring up. The security team arrived behind him wasting no time in zatting him. He fell just short of me,

"Secure him and get him checked out in the infirmary make sure he has no more tricks up his sleeve" I ordered, I wasn't military but being on Sg1 meant I could give them and they were obeyed. I ran into the isolation room, Teal'c was just stirring, I went to Jack reassured by a strong pulse.

"That was either very brave or stupid" I whispered to the unconscious body. As I guessed he gave me no response. The medical team arrived taking them both to the infirmary I followed wanting to check they were ok and to talk with the Gould.

Entering it was organised chaos; I went to the Gould waiting while they bandaged the knee.

"We need to get him to X-Ray" Warner told me. I stopped him, I was pissed off, the Gould had taken Sha're and now Sam and I wanted answers.

"Who are you?" I asked, he didn't reply.

"We know you weren't working alone we have the other Gould in custody as well" I bluffed. He looked up interested.

"Of course he says he was here to help and you were trying to kill him. I just wondered if you had a story before we kill you" I bluffed guessing from my knowledge that 2 Gould's wouldn't work together willingly for long.

"Lies, I was being hunted. I am Tokra we are a small resistance that oppose the Gould system lord. The other Gould is an Ashrak, an assassin of the highest level sent to kill me. For I am Jolinar of Malksur." The man announced. I nodded still suspicious one thing I had learnt on Sg1 was that trust was something not to give so freely.

"So why did you try to kill my friends?" I asked. He looked to the floor before answering.

"I was trying to escape, my kind we are persecuted to the edge of existence, we know not who to trust" he admitted and I could see it pained him. Warner came back

"Doctor we really need to take him to x-ray now" he said. I nodded letting him go. I then walked to Jack and Teal'c. They were both awake insisting they were fine. I sat on the spare chair intent on distracting them at least for a bit.

After telling them what the Askrak said Teal'c looked thoughtful.

"I have heard of this Jolinar he once challenged Aphosis once tried to overthrow one of the System Lords but was defeated when Apophis joined the battle. He escaped during the slaughter of his armies." Teal'c informed us.

"That doesn't give me faith someone who sends men out to their slaughter sounds more Gould than what was it?" Jack asked. I knew he would be deliberately dense.

"The Tokra, Tok means against, Ra is the system lord" I translated for them.

"There is an old legend among the Jaffa for them to speak of concerning a group of Gould who opposed the ways of the System Lords. This group is called the Tok'ra. This Gould, Jolinar of Malkshur, claims to be part of that group. It was my teacher Bra'tac who first spoke to me of them."

"So he could be telling the truth" I summarised.

"If he just wanted to escape why did he beat us up more than he needed to?" Jack questioned. Rubbing his ribs, I undid his shirt realising Jack had been kicked in the ribs after I left. When I had left he was unconscious which means it had not been in self defence but an act of aggression. This changed things we could not trust him.

"Why would he be so specific in his story" I asked confused. As a light seemed to shine from a tunnel as I continued

"Unless he isn't totally lying, what if he is the Ashrak" I asked they both looked at me so I expanded my theory but Teal'c spoke first

"The device I recognised it, it is used to kill traitors very painfully"

"Think about it he had a device in his stomach designed to kill painfully who would do that of they weren't planning on killing?" I asked there was no response.

"So you believe the Gould in Sam is the Jolinar the Tokra" Teal'c questioned. I shrugged it didn't matter. Jack agreed.

"Whoever is in Sam is gone we just have to find her and get it out" he vowed much like I had with Sha're I nodded knowing there was nothing I could say to make it better. Although they both would deny it both Teal'c and myself could tell that they had strong feelings for one another even if they didn't admit it I believed it was love.

"Lets go" Jack ordered taking control. The doctor tried to stop them from leaving. Knowing Jack if the man tried to stop him more then it wouldn't be pleasant so I jumped in.

"Doctor do your tests from what you have we know the signs to look out for, we have been though it enough we have to go and brief General Hammond." I explained he looked less annoyed and allowed them to pass.

"Nice speech space monkey I'll have to remember that one" Jack told me patting me on the back. I glared at him,

"Burro" I muttered, it being the Spanish for a Jackass. It was his turn to glare and I noted it with interest. My research with special ops guys on base told me Jack spoke Russian, Arabic and French I now added Spanish to that growing list. Sam was right he was nowhere near as stupid as he acted. But then nobody was nearly as stupid as he acted at times.

We arrived outside Hammond's office I knocked being ordered inside.

"Sir, we interviewed the Gould he didn't tell us anything but Daniel got him talking"

I looked at Jack grateful for the introduction before launching into what I knew and our theories. He listened intently; when I stopped he looked grave.

"The Gould is to be transferred into NID custody and all SG teams are ordered to look out for Major Carter and restrain or shoot her on sight, her knowledge on us and the Stargate make her to valuable to just let roam free around the galaxy" Hammond read from a piece paper.

"Sir you can't" Jack protested first.

"Officially that is the order, unofficially all SG teams will be ordered not to shoot just to restrain" he apologised as a way of meeting us half way. I nodded it wasn't ideal we just had to hope we got to Sam first.

"Permission to go on missions again Sir" Jack asked pleading with him to let us go, we needed to find Sam first.

"I'm sorry Colonel not yet I had a call from the infirmary you and Teal'c need to rest, and I can't let a 3 man team go, you'll need a 4th" he ordered. I sighed this wasn't going to be easy.
