Chapter Ten ~:

{Roadside Dinner} {24-hours after escape}

I was sitting in a booth slowly eating a hamburger. My eyes drifting around I see few families and people by themselves also eating.

A small girl was staring at me as I ate and for some reason, it brought a small smile to my heart. As we looked at one another, we began making faces. At the sight of her laughter, I felt my heart brighten. The girl began playing peek-abo and as this happened, for a brief moment, I saw the face of my own little girl.

The last few years as a goa'uld seemed to melt away. I could feel my humanity, and my personality, being reinserted more and more. Even, so I still felt the ice alien edge of who I was now.

Soon, the little girl was told to stop playing and eat. I kept watch, waiting until the family left, before I went back to eating. As I did, I found myself organizing my thoughts and other information I'd received from being a goa'uld

By the time I polished off the fifth burger I had organized my mind. I had found there were many devices and technology I had never seen in this world or the previous one. (Of course, in this world when I was only the snake, I had no uses for the knowledge.)

So, after I swallowed the last of the coke in my glasses and I picked up the bill before going to counter and paying. With a full stomach and a full mind, I saw myself off.

{NID Black Site} {Place I was stored}

A group of men and women wearing a black military uniform were performing forensics on the corpses. The bodies had been left in pieces and the local area destroyed.

They were gathering evidence and took pictures trying to figure out what happened. The security camera had been destroyed, but strangely it appeared to have been damaged before the attack. It seemed that someone had hack the cameras and looped the feed.

Judging by the claw marks all over the place as well as the shape of the bodies. Many of the investigation team thought someone sent a wild beast into the building.

After a while one of the men from a former sgc team said, almost in a joking way, "It kind of looks like somehow a pack of Unas were let loose inside here especial with the claw marks."

A few listened but continued working, paying his theory no attention. However, as they did, they could hear loud cursing and words that many hadn't heard outside of biker bars. "I don't care what happen, but the subject is gone, disappeared! It's obvious someone else took him we must have a rat!"

"No, the SGC wasn't involved that was first thing I checked our people say his disappearance hasn't been notice!" "Yes, you bunch of assholes I having people run test and we found this strange powder in the cell and sample have been taking back." "Anyway, what I'm worried about is, if they make another request before we find him, or god help us some foreign power or group grabbed him and he makes them a weapon!"

The man threw the phone. The room watched in awe as it shattered the moment it hit the stone wall. This prompted him to let out a few more curses before turn to lab geeks. "What the is fucking powder in here?"

The head geek replied, "No idea, Sir. But once we get back, we will find out." (Unknown to them it was my human and unas forms parts going through the breaking down process as I was no longer supply those pieces with life. By the time they get back all they'll know is that it appeared like an organic sand with small traces of Naquida in it)

{In a city park} {Midnight}

I found myself laying on a slide looking into the sky to admire the stars. It was funny regardless of the world or realm the glow of those beauties still were remarkable. I was preparing to sleep there as I had nowhere to go and it was a nice temp outside that evening.

Then I heard a scream.

This caused me to look away from the star gazing. I sat up I saw a woman fighting four men. They all reeked of beer and some type of herb even fifty feet away. (This body's senses were no joke.)

I decide to listen at first but soon I heard the woman say, "Bastards I already said I wouldn't not even if you paid me! I'm no whore."

To this three of the men, (probably the lackies to the one who look like a proud third or fourth generation) kept pawing at her as the other three geered and egged on their young master. All while preventing the woman's escape.

Normally I'd stay out of this but with the human side awake and in full swing I found my old 'sticking my nose in other's business' itching up. They had screwed up my possibility of sleeping here with their whole rapey thing so I stood up and walked over. Before anyone saw me, my knee found its way into the young master noise sending him tumbling into two of his men this was followed with a split kick to the last man's groin. The man let out a squeal like a pig as he grabbed his broken egg and went to his knees.

I looked at the woman and said, "you can go now." I then went to leave but before I more than five-step away I felt a tug on my hand I turned and saw the girl eyes staring at me.

"If you didn't have a place to stay, come with me."

I thought about it but in the end, it was shelter and if she tried something I could kill her; with that thought in mind, I shook her hand. "Thank you."

We walked back towards her home; I followed the woman from beside her.
