CHAPTER FOUR
Sam stumbled backwards as Janet ran to Jack's side and cried desperately," I need a crash cart here now!" Daniel stared wide eyed as Janet cut away Jack's t-shirt and slammed paddles onto his chest before jerking him violently. The strong beep still filled the room so Janet shouted," Charge it to 250 now!" She then shouted," Clear!" She slammed the paddles back onto Jack's chest and looked desperately at the EKG reading and swore as it still read flatline. She rubbed the paddles together before ordering," Begin manual CPR!" A medic began to compress Jack's chest while another squeezed oxygen into his mouth through the intubation opening but still nothing was happening.
Sam could feel more tears sliding down her face and she crumpled to the ground shaking and sobbing before she felt Daniel holding her tightly still keeping his fearful eyes on Jack. Hanuk strode into the infirmary and announced," The test has begun."
Daniel looked to her and Teal'c and demanded," Who the hell is she and what does she mean by the test has begun?"
Teal'c watched as Janet shouted anxiously," Come on Jack, don't give up on me!" before looking to Daniel and giving him a look reassuring everything would be explained.
Janet could feel her own tears gathering as nothing she did seemed to be bringing him back this time and she reluctantly stepped away and sobbed," Time of death 1325 hours!"
Sam was knocked out of her dazed state before she got to her feet and screamed desperately," No you can't give up, you have to bring him back Janet!"
Janet looked up with watery brown eyes before shaking her head and sobbing," I can't Sam, he's gone!"
Sam felt like her heart had been shattered into a million pieces before she clutched at Jack's cold lifeless hand sobbing uncontrollably. She squeezed it tightly against her face and muttered quietly," No it can't be, oh God Jack come back to me, come back to us! We need you so much, please don't leave us!"
She stroked his silvering hair and ran a hand over his pale face and god how she wished he would open his eyes and tell her it was all one big joke and that he would always be there for her no matter what. Daniel got to his feet staggering slightly before he let his tears run freely as she looked at his lifeless friend, the man he considered as a brother who was now lost to them. He looked to the sobbing Janet who despite her own grief managed to hug him and comfort him in his time of need.
Teal'c bowed his head as his own grief was overwhelming him, he looked up angrily at Hanuk who seemed unmoved and he grabbed her neck in his hands and snarled," You are the cause of this!"
Hanuk choked for breath and as she was slipping into unconsciousness Teal'c was pulled off her by three members of SG3 and the General ordered," I know this is not the time or place but I want SG1, you doctor and Hanuk in my office now!"
Sam had to be pulled away from Jack's side as a medic pulled a white sheet over Jack's body, she lost all strength in her legs grateful for Teal'c's strong hold on her arm and Daniel's comforting presence.
The General gestured for them to sit down before saying," Janet I want to tell me all you can about Jack's conditon before his..his death and then Teal'c explain to me what this Hanuk means about a test."
Janet began," I got Jack's bloodwork back from the lab and found that his red blood cells were being coated with a white thick substance which I determined to be cutting down on the oxygen produced and so Jack was slowly suffocating to death and to remedy this I placed him on life support to aid in his breathing but he just took a turn for the worse!"
Janet broke down again and the General breathed in and out deeply trying to deal with his own grief knowing he must be strong before he looked to Teal'c who replied in a shaky voice," The people of P3X-890 believed us to be evil and so they thought since Jack was the leader they must test him to see if he is good."
Hanuk then took over," Every person who we believe to be evil must go through the trial of death, if your Jack trangresses death and returns to earth then he is a good man if he does not then he was evil and has been purged!"
Sam's head jerked up and she snapped," How dare you? The Colonel, Jack is a good man with a heart of gold and he would readily sacrifice himself for anyone in need!"
Daniel took Sam by the shoulders and tried to calm her down, Hanuk merely raised an eyebrow before continuing," I must take this Jack with me back to my world so if he does trangress death we can all witness it and offer him help if he should need it."
Sam shook her head and looked pleadingly at the General but the General shook his head and said," So you're telling me if we allow you to take Jack's body then he might have a better chance of returning to us?"
Hanuk nodded so the General replied," I'll have it arranged."
He watched as the people vacated his office before he placed his head in his hands and sobbed quietly as the loss of his 2IC and friend was finally hiting him.
LATER...
Sam and Daniel watched as Teal'c and Hanuk departed through the gate with the limp body of Jack, Sam breathed deeply trying not to cry again but she could see tears running down Daniel's face. Ten minutes past until Teal'c returned and announced," O'Neill is with the natives and Hanuk tells me we must be patient."
The General then announced," SG1 I suggest you take this time to deal with this loss."
Sam, Daniel and Teal'c headed for the carpark each trying not to break down again.
