CHAPTER TWO
Jack rubbed his eyes as he woke, he saw that Daniel had been relieved by Teal'c. He got to his feet but groaned as that stupid bite on the back of his neck still stung, he asked," Hey big guy anything happen?"
Teal'c replied," It has been quiet O'Neill!"
Jack nodded but rubbed at his temples as his headache seemed to be getting worse and it was helping his vision much. He ignored the dull thudding pain in his neck as he shook Daniel and Sam. Sam muttered," Five more minutes mum!"
Jack smiled and said," Newsflash Carter, I ain't your mother and you definitely can't have five more minutes!"
Sam's blue eyes opened suddenly and she blushed in embarassment but before she could say anything Jack was waking Daniel up. Once everyone was up they made their way back to the centre of the village and Ryon greeted them," Morning travellers, I hope you had a goodnight's rest and we wish you to join us for breakfast before you leave!"
Jack was about to say they couldn't when Daniel jumped in and declared," We would be very happy to join you for breakfast!"
Jack shook his head as Daniel sat and chatted to Ryon, Sam noticed that Jack did not seem very well. She asked," Sir are you okay?"
Jack rubbed at his head and smoothed his hair down before slipping a cap over it and said," Yeah Carter, just got a really bad headache! Stupid bug bit me last night!"
Sam was now worried, Janet was always going on about her worries about strange insects and their possible reactions to them so she said," Let me take a look sir!" Jack grumbled something about it only being a bite and that he was perfectly fine.
Sam just gave him a look and then turned her attention to the back of his neck, she did not like the look of that bite. It had gone purple and was swelling, she said," I think we better get back to the base Sir, Janet needs to take a look at this!"
" Ah for crying out loud! It's only an insect bite Carter!" moaned Jack.
Sam was having none of it as she replied," I am aware of that sir but I believe it needs to be taken care of!"
Jack nodded and slowly got to his feet and shouted," Alright let's move out!"
Ryon changed to Tala and she said," It was a pleasure meeting you and we hope we will see you again especially you O'Neill!"
Jack smiled nervously but said," Uh sure, thanks for everything but we better get back!"
BACK AT THE GATE...
Teal'c commented," I believe the one they call Tala took a liking to you O'Neill!"
Jack replied with a classic O'Neill," Ya think?"
Sam laughed but watched as the gate clicked into action and Jack announced happily," Come on the sooner we're off this planet the happier I'll be!"
MEANWHILE...
General Hammond watched in anticipation to see if any members of SG1 had been injured of maimed in any way, he sighed deeply as he remembered the various missions one or other of them had come back looking like they had been pulled through a barb wire fence backwards. He was very surprised to find every member of the SG1 walking upright and even teasing the Colonel.
Janet looked relieved as the infamous SG1 team returned looking completely fine but Sam spoke up, " Jack got bitten by an insect and I think he needs it looked at!"
Janet smiled as Jack scowled behind Sam's back but she gestured for Jack to follow her but the General appeared and said," Can the rest of SG1 be debriefed?"
Janet nodded and watched as the rest of them disappeared and she was left with a very unhappy looking Colonel. She ordered," Up on the bed Colonel!"
Jack got onto the bed and bent his head down so Janet could take a closer look at the bite, she winced," Ohh looks like whatever that bug was it got you bad!"
Jack said nothing so Janet rubbed an antiseptic cream over the small hole and then covered it with a small band-aid and said," There we go, see that wasn't too bad!"
Jack gave her a skeptical look but said," Thanks doc!" Janet watched him leave and simply smiled.
Jack couldn't believe what all the fuss was over a small bite but he noticed that bloody headache was back but then he was sure he heard a voice. He looked around the corridor and found nobody around, he thought okay O'Neill you are losing it. He moaned slightly as a blinding pain spread through his head and his vision blurred. He clutched at the wall for support as a voice echoed around his head," Let me be one with you!"
Jack staggered forwards and he felt strong arms catch him before his world turned black.
Teal'c looked down at the now collapsed O'Neill and then to Daniel and Sam, Sam said," Get him to the infirmary!"
Janet looked up as Teal'c hurried into the infirmary," Colonel!"
