Stargate SG-1
"Coming Home"
Chapter 5




Morning came quickly and the team unhitched camp and headed for the desert, which was luckily not that far away. The team made their way to the desert part of the planet and reset their camp. Daniel had told Jack that the desert was boring for him because there wasn't anything for him to find. Jack and Kawalsky headed off for a walk, while Daniel, Sam, and Teal'c stayed behind at the campsite.

"Well, at least Jack has another person to bug," Daniel told Sam and Teal'c.

"Actually Jack told me that Kawalsky was bugging him!" Sam told them.

"Good he deserves it!" Daniel told her.

"I do not understand this "bugging", please explain. I know that Major Kawalsky is not an insect, so you cannot mean that he is a bug."

"Bugging means that someone is agrevating someone else," Daniel told Teal'c.

"Oh I see, but why would Major Kawalsky agrevate Colonel O'Neill? Are they not friends?"

"They're friends, but they just like to bug each other about certain subjects," Carter explained to Teal'c.

"What subject was Major Kawalsky bugging O'Neill?" Teal'c asked curious.

"Good question," Daniel told Teal'c.

"The colonel acted like it was personal, he wouldn't talk to me about it, he just changed the subject," Sam told them.

"Jack has another Air Force, non-scientist to talk to. At least he'll be able to understand what Kawalsky says, he doesn't have to worry about big words and what they mean," Daniel told Sam.

"Yeah and Kawalsky's the colonel's best friend, even though they act like brothers," Sam told Daniel.

"So, I guess we don't have to argue about artifacts. At least I hope so," Daniel said.

"O'Neill seems very determined to I believe you say "ruffle your feathers?" Is this correct Daniel Jackson?" Teal'c asked.

"Yeah," Sam and Daniel giggled alittle at Teal'c's comment, "you got the phrase right."

Just then, O'Neill and Kawalsky entered the campground. "What'd I miss?" O'Neill asked when he heard laughing.

"Nothing Colonel," Sam told him.

"Uh huh? Who told the joke?" O'Neill questioned and waited for an answer, but no one spoke up. "Come on!"

"Jack it's ovious there was no joke, so just calm down," Kawalsky told him.

"Oww, but I wanted to hear a joke. This planet sucks! There's nothing to explore and it's not here," O'Neill complained to Kawalsky.

"Well, tommorrow we leave, so why don't you turn in? I'll take the first watch."

"Okay, thanks Kawalsky."

The camp was quiet and dark. There was only one light at the camp, and no apparent person on watch. The wind started to pick up alittle more, stirring up sand with it. The heavy sound of the rushing wind provided perfect cover to mask the approach of a small group that seemed to blend in.

The group of intruders was small and almost invisable against the desert backround. Two stood at the back of the tent and two at the back. The leader of the group opened the flap of the tent and counted four occupants. He pulled out his weapon and raised it, he pulled the trigger, energy engulfed the four bodies, and they seemed to be under attack by this energy. The bodies stopped convulsing a few seconds after.

"Let's move them!" the leader ordered the others. Two of the others dragged a dark man and the blonde haired woman to a specific spot, and in seconds were transported away with the two men who had dragged them.

The two other men began to drag the two other men from the tent when the leader was knocked over by a fifth member of the tent group. They had found the watchman. The other man quickly ran to help the leader, and zapped the watchman. The three men were then dragged and transported away from the campsite.
