Chapter 9
"What do you reckon Carter, a lick of yellow and red paint a big M and it would make a decent McDonalds?" muttered Jack. She grinned, "we better turn back and go see Alexander, I don't think we will find anything here". "I seem to have led you to the bad side of town" muttered Jack as they turned and started walking back to the meeting hall. She frowned at him, "it must be your bad side leading you here sir", he grinned and nodded.
They reached the meeting hall and Jack opened the door for her, "go distract Alexander while I take a look around" he whispered. After he was safely out of sight she called Alexander. He came to see who was calling him and when he saw Sam he smiled. "Samantha, what do I owe this unexpected pleasure to" he said smiling. Her muscles tightened and she forced a smile, "Were all going for a wonder around town so I thought I would drop in and see the antiques you were telling me about last night". He looked pleased " of cause, come through here into are mini-museum" said Alexander pointing to a small doorway to the left of them. She followed him in and sat down on the couch as he told her to. She looked round the room; there were many mosaics, pictures, statues and various pots in there. She noticed that the couch was suspiciously large and comfy; she forced a smile when he turned and looked at her. "Your friend Daniel would love this room" he said, "They are all from our peoples history. You see every year they left an offering in this room; the gods left them here when they left but still we make an offering because it is tradition. We put them on display know to inspire us as they are all so pretty and decorative". Sam nodded " you can learn a lot about your future from your past" she commented, he nodded in agreement. He sat down next to her and started discussing trade with her.
Meanwhile Jack was creeping along the wing of the building were no one went but the council. He saw a small doorway that had a heavy iron handle on it. He thought that you would have to be pretty strong to open that door; no average person could open it. Then he realised that this must be the secret meeting place because the members on the council were the only really strong people in Kribonas.
He pulled hard and it started to open, he tugged harder and it opened properly. He walked in and closed the door half way behind him. He looked up and froze, in front of him was a Gau'uld communication ball, and luckily it was turned of. He walked back out and closed the door behind him, he had to find the others and get out of there.
He found his way back to the door were he had left Sam, before he could call her name he heard her talking in the next room.
Sam was praying that the Colonel would come back soon; Alexander was edging closer and closer to her. He leant towards her to kiss her, she pushed away, "Alexander I hardly know you, but you are a nice guy don't get me wrong" she said wondering how convincing she sounded. Suddenly Jack walked in. "Hey Sam, sorry to barge in I need you to help me find Daniel and Teal'c" said Jack. She leapt to her feet "I will see you round" she said to Alexander, he smiled "I hope so". "What's up" she whispered to Jack, "I will tell you on the way" he muttered as he grabbed her hand and started to lead her out.
