Truth & Lies

A/N: Okay, so this is a couple weeks after 12…

13: Uneasy

"Incoming wormhole, sir!"

General Landry turned to Walter Harriman. "One of our teams?"

"Yes, sir. SG-11."

"They're early," the general mused mildly. "Let 'em in."

The iris swirled open and SG-11 hurtled over the event horizon. "We're comin' in hot, sir!" one of the men bellowed. Landry nodded at Walter to shut it down and hurried down the stairs. When he arrived in the 'gate room, he realized that the team had an extra member. Vala gave him a weak smile when their eyes met.

"What happened?" he demanded from the CO of the team.

"We found a Goa'uld ship, sir, and decided to check it out, since we knew that Ba'al had taken two of our personnel. We found her," (the man nodded at Vala) "but the only other person we could find definitely was Goa'uld."

Landry closed his eyes impatiently. "Apparently you missed the part where we said that Ba'al had taken one of our personnel as a host."

Vala gave the man a glare as his eyes widened in surprise. "See?" she seethed. "I told you!"

Landry turned his attention to her. "Vala. I'm sure the team will be very…ah. Pleased to know you're all right." The information Sam had told him was very prominent in his mind. Vala frowned at the uneasy tone in the general's voice.

"Sir?"

Landry glanced at the still frozen CO and grabbed Vala's elbow, dragging her away from the man's earshot. "Colonel Carter figured you out, Miss Mal Doran. We know."

Vala broke away from him, staring. "Who I am?" she whispered. Landry nodded. Vala looked uneasy herself for a moment before she straightened, looking highly regal.

"Well, then. This should be…interesting."

A/N: To say the least.
