CHAPTER 21
Daniel sat on the steps of the Stargate and buried his head in his hands. The kribations were sitting quite some distance away from the Stargate under a canopy of trees. Tranio approached Alexander who was standing about two meters away from Daniel at the bottem of the steps. "Alexander, where are the other two and Cadmus?" asked Tranio. Daniels head shot up, "Cadmus has Sam and Jack hostage but why?". Alexander turned to look at him, "i don't know Daniel...i really don't know". Daniel rubbed his temple, trying to figure out Cadmus' motive.
"Alexander, you said that Apophis suddenly found out about your planet" started Teal'c who was leaning on the DHD. "Yes" said Alexander slowly, he didn't seem to understand what Teal'c was implying. "Teal'c thats it" said Daniel "It was Cadmus who alerted Apophis about the exsistance of Kribanos". "Why?" asked Alexander, the hurt he was feeling was made obvious by his strained voice. "Power, money..." started Daniel, "...maybe Cadmus did not support you after your fathers death" finished Teal'c. Alexander spat on the ground, "Shol'va" he said bitterly. Teal'c cringed. "My freind betraying Apophis is noble, betraying a race of peacefull people is a sin" said Alexander to Teal'c "you are no real shol'va". Teal'c bowed his head in thanks to Alexander. He turned to Daniel, "Daniel Jackson do not give up hope on Major Carter and Colonel O'Neill yet". Daniel shook his head, "they only have ten minutes Teal'c...maybe less".
MEANWHILE, BACK ON KRIBANOS
Cadmus sat on the stage oppisite Sam and Jack with the Zat gun still pointed at them.
"How long have we got?" asked Sam. "All of about fifthteen minutes" replied Jack. Sam rubbed her face with her hand, she felt a headache coming on. Jack put his hand on her knee and patted it, "you OK?" he asked half heartidly. She laughed slightly, "if i thought you were being serious Colonel...i'd be very, very worried about you". He smiled at her joke but his expression changed to dispare as he saw a couple of tears run down her cheeks. "Sam...I...god Sam don't cry, it's hard enough as it is without us getting emotionall" he said trying to hold back his own tears. "Hell...i wish i'd sent you with Daniel and Teal'c and waited here for them all to pack on my own" he said, cracking his knuckles in anger.
Cadmus pulled a mini communication ball out his pocket, "Apophis will tell me when he's around the planet" he stated. "It's called being in orbit" said Jack under his breath. Cadmus didn't hear him and continued. "It's such an amazing thing really, this sphere, i hear Apophis has much greater things that he controls" said Cadmus, looking at the ball in admiration.
Jack saw his chance and within the blinking of an eyelid he'd reached his zat gun out of his pocket. "Cadmus" he called. Cadmus looked up, but before he had anytime to do anything, Jack hit him once with a Zat gun blast.
Jack ran over to Cadmus and picked up his Zat gun. He threw it to Sam. He got hold of Cadmus neck and muttered "i'll let Apophis kill you for messing the whole thing up". With that he let go and pulled Sam to her feet. "Come on Carter. time to start running like crazy".
