Chapter 11
Everything happened so fast, from Jack's position on his knees he was able to reach his hand to the inside of his boot without being noticed. As Valeran walked closer to him Jack pulled the knife out of his boot slowly keeping it concealed from the armed men in the room.
"Now you die" Valeran said as he aimed his weapon.
"NOW!" Jack shouted as he pulled the knife from behind his back and plunged into
Valeran's chest. Valeran hadn't even seen it coming and cried out in pain.
Janet and Sam had apparently understood the silent messages he had sent them as they too pulled out their knives and killed the nearest armed man. Jack hurriedly took Valeran's weapons as Sam and Janet did the same and a fire fight broke out between the three of them and the other men.
Daniel and Teal'c quickly caught on to what their friends were doing and did the same with the knives they too had concealed. The fire fight was short, Valeran's men were caught off guard by the sudden attack and within minutes most of them were dead, injured or surrendering.
SG1 came running into the building only to discover everything already under control.
"Here comes the cavalry, just in time" Jack stated and received several mild glares from the members of SG5.

"You risked your lives for us" Dalton said, Jack hadn't even realised he had been one of the hostages. "Once again you have saved us, our debts to you could never be repaid"
"Think nothing of it" Jack said in his typical humorous tone.
"We are having a celebration tonight in your honour, please join us"
"We'd be happy to, but first we have to go home and report in to Hammond"

General Hammond had been more than relieved to hear that SG1 were alive and well and that none of the villagers had been hurt in the fight. They had returned to the planet for the party with a promise of downtime when they got back home.
"You okay?" Daniel asked Janet, she had been quiet since the fight and he knew she was struggling with killing those men.
"Actually yeah"
One look into her eyes told Daniel she was in fact fine "Anyway it think you injured most of the ones you shot"
"I know, where are Jack and Sam?" she asked.
"Over there" Daniel pointed across where all the villagers were dancing to the music. To where Jack was sat talking to Sam "He has something important to ask her"
"Are you serious?" Janet asked grinning.
"Yeah and it's been a long time coming"
The music had become mere background noise as Jack spoke quietly to Sam.
"I love you and I can't imagine spending another day of my life without you so" Jack said as he pulled the ring from his pocket "Will you marry me?"
