Daniel was surprisingly, the first to come around. He inhaled a sharp
breath as he did so. Gasping, not from pain, but from shock. He had known
Captain Thomas Shelby for years. He knew his friend would never have done
something like this. That it wasn't his friend anymore. Thomas was an
"it" to Daniel now. Something inhuman. Unknown.
Daniel tried to speak, but his voice was hoarse. He croaked as he tried to tell who it was that had done this, Janet ran over and ordered him to not speak. She gave him meds and a drink. His throat felt better. He was perfectly able to speak, but Janet ordered him not to. General Hammond didn't want to know until they were all conscious and then he could get the full picture, instead of being handed a quarter of a jigsaw puzzle and being made to wait for the other pieces. So Daniel held his tongue and waited, even though he ached to tell, but then it hit him. Something had happened to Sam and Jack. Janet filled him in on the details of what had happened since he had been bought back through the gate. Before Daniel could say anything else Janet fed a sedative into his IV.
Next to awaken was Teal'c. Janet also managed to tell Teal'c all the details of what had happened after his shooting when Jack came to.
"Doc!" He croaked. He was surprised that he had no one sitting vigil at his bedside. Why, he'd done it for them before.
"Lie still Colonel. You're OK."
"What the hell happened? My neck kills." Then, as Janet protested, He sat up and twisted his neck until they heard a loud crack. "Ah, that's better."
"Jack, does that happen often?" Came Janet's query.
"Oh. Just a little reminder of Iraq. I broke my neck, not badly fortunately, I've got a pin in it. It makes that noise occasionally. Now what the hell happened?"
"Um,"
General Hammond interrupted Janet and filled Jack in. "You were attacked. Someone tried to break your neck."
"Indeed." Came the deep growl of Teal'c's voice.
"Yo, Teal'c buddy, you feeling better?" Called Jack. He was rewarded with a placid nod in reply.
Jack then remembered Sam. "How is she, Um, Sam I mean? His voice was suddenly frantic. If anything had happened too Sam he wouldn't ever have been able to forgive himself. He'd been too distracted. He should have heard his attacker. They would have had to take Shelby out first, unless, and then it hit Jack. Shelby had done this, the sonofabitch.
"Sam's going to be fine."
"Jacob?" Jack was stunned. But if Jacob was here, that meant that the Tok'ra had finally come through and saved their butts. It was about time they started pulling their weight.
"Yes Jack. And what is this I hear about you marrying my daughter?" His lips had thinned.
"Ah, yes.that.well."
"When were you going to tell me?"
"Eventually."
"What happened to asking the father of the bride his permission?"
"We're not in the middle ages anymore Jacob." Daniel had fought off the sedative quickly. He was getting used to it. Janet always insisted on giving him above average doses. He wasn't totally incapable. "That tradition goes back to the times that women were seen as their father's possessions until they were married. I think Sam might get pissed if she found out that you thought of her as an object Jacob."
"You bet I would."
"Sam!" Everyone shouted out in joy, now the whole of SG1 were back, the tale could unfold.
"OK, I want some sort of order here. You speak when I ask you to, and stop when I say. Understand?"
A chorus of "Yes sirs." Echoed around the infirmary.

Apophis sat behind the wheel of a Volkswagen. His host had felt deep revulsion as seeing that Apophis had wanted to drive a Skoda, so to try to keep the nagging little voice f Thomas Shelby to a minimum, he broke into the Volkswagen instead. The voice of Shelby was just a small annoyance. His spirit had almost broken. It wouldn't be long before he stopped fighting and let Apophis get on with his work.
He stopped at the traffic lights. His host knew how to drive, so therefore, he did also. So he stopped, he didn't want to draw unnecessary attention to himself. He switched the device that the earthlings called a radio on. Elvis was playing: -
"You looked like an angel, Walk like an angel, Talk like an angel, But I got wise, you're the devil in disguise."
Apophis tapped his feet then pulled away. This music was not bad. Maybe he would have more fun on Earth than he'd first thought. He couldn't wait to take over this planet. It wuld be fun.
*NB. I do not own Elvis Presley, any songs sung by him, written by him etc. So please don't sue me. *
*Also I need some help. You know the episode Hathor? Of course you do, well the lipstick Hathor is wearing in said episode is gorgeous and I will go nuts if I don't get it soon (or just drive Joss crazy hehe!) So if anyone knows what it is please tell me! Email me if you want, just be warned, I have hotmail and those of you who also have that will know, it is difficult to determine friendly e-mails. I keep getting ones asking if I want to enlarge my penis. I DON'T HAVE A PENIS! Its most disconcerting. Anyway, if you can help that'd be grand.*
*Oh and next chapter you find out why Sam and Teal'c and Jacob couldn't sense Apophis.*
