Daniel finally found Vala in Sam's lab, bent over a magnifying glass. There were many tools scattered in front of her and she seemed to be holding a soldering iron. He took a deep, calming breath when he realised what she was working on.

"What are you doing with my spare glasses?"

"Out of the last 5 times we've been taken prisoners, they separated us every single time and only took your glasses once," she answered, focusing on her work.

"Let me guess... lockpicking tools?"

"Yup."

"So I assume you plan on teaching me to..."

"Yup."

"Wonderful," he retorted sarcastically.

To answer NTACvic: Thanks for the reviews! And in my mind, Jack only locked them up in a room, the items were given by the guard outside their door who happened to have some on him xD
