CHAPTER 19
Daniel dialled up the Stargate, "OK, just go through and wait on the other side and we'll try and get everyone else through quickly" he instructed. Simo, Jason and Tranio went through first so they could take charge on the other side. Teal'c was standing to the side on the steps leading up to the Stargate. "How long will O'Neill and Major Carter be?" asked Teal'c as a large family shuttled past him and stepped through the Stargate. "They said an hour at the most, probably less" Daniel replied. "That will be cutting it a bit fine"commented Alexander who was sittind by the DHD with his back proped up against it.
"Are you not going through yet Alexander?" questioned Teal'c. Alexander shook his head, "I will go through last with you, i will not leave my people on this planet if there is still danger". Teal'c nodded and continued to stand by the Stargate as Daniel tried to pursuade a scared old couple that the Stargate was perfectly safe.
BACK IN THE TOWN
Jack had completed his search on one side of the town and was now sitting on the stage in the middle of the market place waiting for Sam. He saw her exiting one of the streets and head towards him. "Sam" he shouted to her, "anyone left?". "Acouple of families are just about ready to go and thats it" she replied. She climbed onto the stage and sat down next to him. "Speak of the devil" she muttered as a large group of people scurried across the market place and disapeared out the city gate. "devils Major, it should be a plurral" commented Jack dryly. "This must be a major breakthrough" Sam muttered, "Colonel O'Neill, the man who cant spell corrects my grammer". Jack gave her a playfull nudge in retaliation.
Then out the corner of his eye he saw Cadmus walking towards them. "Hey, why are you still here?" asked the Colonel. Cadmus reached the stage, "i'm not leaving" he answered casually. "What" exclaimed Jack as he jumped to his feet, "why the hell not?".
Cadmus pulled out a Zat gun from under his overcoat. "Sit down" he instructed. Jack sat down next to Sam, "Uh oh" he muttered. "It would be fool hardy of me to leave when i have a better ticket out of here" stated Cadmus. "What?" said Jack, confusion showing in his eyes. "Apophis" said Sam suddenly "it was you who alerted Apophis to the co-ordinates of this planet". Cadmus laughed, "and he is willing to let me serve him, i wonder what he'll think if i hand you over to him too?". "Very little" muttered Jack "he'll probably kill you for the fun of it". "Silence" yelled Cadmus, anger showing in his features.
"Why have you done this to your own people?" asked Jack, he didn't understand what possible motives Cadmus could have.
"I want to fight, to put good use to my training" Cadmus replied "i can do that if I serve Apophis". "Alexander didn't want to go of fighting then" said Jack.
"Alexander is a fool, he doesn't know how to fight, he doesn't know how to rule the only thing he had was his dad" said Cadmus bitterly. "We could have fought with the Dromos, the wild ones in the mountains but no, Alexander couldn't stomach the idea of death" Cadmus continued.
"Listen, Cadmus" cut in Jack "peace is so much better and Apophis isn't really a nice guy...Gau'uld". Cadmus smiled, it was an evil smile. "You may tell him that when he arrives which will not be very long at all" he commented.
