Chapter 14
Teal'c and Hammond both froze and even the airman who had opened the door for them looked suddenly very uncomfortable. Teal'c turned around to look at the woman, as she stood there with a smug expression on her face.
"Professor Tempson?" Hammond asked, his anger evident in his voice.
"Yes"
"What does he have to do with this?" Teal'c asked angrily.
"So the name does have meaning to you" The woman stated even more smugly but there was something else in her voice. Anger.
"Yes he endangered the lives of my people and those of an entire a planet" Hammond explained. "What does he have to do with this?"
"As I said before I will answer all of your questions if SG1 and Dr Frasier are brought before me"
Hammond said nothing, he turned and left the room with Teal'c close behind him. They both walked down the corridor and Hammond turned to Teal'c. "I want to see SG1 and Dr Frasier in the briefing room now"
Teal'c nodded his head "Do you intend to honour her request?"
"I don't know Teal'c"
Jack and Daniel looked over to Teal'c as he entered the commissary. Jack knew the look on his face, he didn't have good news for them.
"Hey Teal'c what happened?"
"General Hammond wishes to see us in the briefing room immediately"
"Teal'c what happened?" Jack asked again, he suddenly had a really bad feeling.
"We will explain everything in the briefing room"
"What about Sam and Janet?" Daniel asked.
"They are already on their way there"
The three men headed up to the briefing room and found Hammond, Sam and Janet already in their seats waiting for them. Jack took his seat next to Sam with Teal'c on his other side. Daniel walked around the table to sit next to Janet.
"As you are aware Teal'c and I have spent almost two hours with the woman SG2 brought through the stargate. Until the last few minutes we were unable to get any information from her. She said that she would answer all our questions only if SG1 and Dr Frasier are brought before her"
"Why would she think that we would agree to that sir?" Jack asked cautiously, he could tell there was more to this story and he wasn't going to like it.
Hammond sighed and Teal'c continued "She asked us if the name Professor Tempson meant anything to us"
Jack felt a sudden wave of anger that was rivalled only by the anger he had felt in the weeks following the virus incident whenever Tempson was mentioned.
"What the hell did he have to do with this? Jack shouted.
"She won't say" Hammond answered.
"She won't say?" Jack shouted again as he stood up "Let's see how much she says when I beat it out of her"
"Colonel!" General Hammond shouted bringing Jack back to his senses. He sat back down and took a deep breath. He felt Sam take his hand.
"I'm not going to order any of you to go into that room but it may help us if we can find out what she knows"
"I'll go in" Sam said quietly from her seat.
"Me to" Daniel added.
"So will I sir" Janet said.
"I will also"
"Then I guess we're going in" Jack said after everyone had agreed to it.
Sam entered the room with the others, the woman was stood there smiling smugly.
"I see you agreed to my conditions"
"How do you know Tempson?" Jack asked angrily.
"All in good time" the woman answered "Now I believe you're first question was who am I. My name is Emani. You're second question was how do I know Jaden. I met him a few weeks ago, he had something I needed"
"What would that be?" Daniel asked.
"His playground"
"What did you need that for?" Sam asked flinching slightly at the mention of the place that had almost claimed hers and Janet's life.
"I wanted to trap you down there" she stated bluntly.
"Why?" Daniel asked.
"Revenge"
"Revenge for what?" Janet asked.
"It was because of you that Professor Tempson died"
"And that has what to do with you?" Jack asked
"Professor Tempson was my brother"
