CHAPTER FOUR

------------------

Daniel started pacing up and down the room, sort of like Jack did when he was nervous. Teal'c looked at him, it was starting to get on his nerves. Janet had gotten annoyed at it about an hour earlier and returned to the infirmary do try and figure out some way to get the Goa'uld symbionts out of SG-13.

"Daniel Jackson, if you do not stop pacing, I am going to leave the room," Teal'c warned.

"Leave then, I can't stop pacing. This is really getting on my nerves," Daniel said, noticing that Teal'c cocked his head and raised an eyebrow at him. "It's so annoying. I mean, we can't do anything and I'm sure the Tok'ra will figure it out, but I have this wrong feeling, like we should be out there helping them. Who knows what's happening to Jack and Sam."

"I am sure that O'Neill and Major Carter will be fine on their own Daniel Jackson," Teal'c said, standing up. "They are capable humans."

He started towards the door.

"Teal'c!" Daniel protested. "Now where are you going?"

"To perform Kell Nor Reem (sp?)," he informed him, nodding as he left the room.

Daniel groaned and sat down at his desk. There was the sound of footsteps and they stopped at his door. He turned around to see Janet standing there, also looking worried.

"You think they're OK?" she asked him.

"They'll be fine," Daniel said. "I hope."

"You should get some sleep, Daniel," she said, switching to doctor mode.

"Ah, I will, after I, ah, finish translating this, ah…OK," Daniel said, seeing that she wasn't convinced. "But not right now. I'll just wait a couple more…"

"Daniel," Janet warned. "I want you to rest."

Daniel nodded, stood up and started to leave. Then he stopped and looked at Janet.

"What're you doing Friday night?" he blurted out.

Janet froze, not turning around. Then she looked down at the ground and turned around slowly.

"I'm going to Cassie's school concert," Janet said. "Why?"

"Nevermind," Daniel said, walking away as quickly as possible.

When he was far enough away from Janet he slowed down and looked around. There was no one else in sight. He looked at his watch and suddenly realised that he was tired. Maybe Janet had been right; he decided to get some rest.

-------------------------

"Wake up," a voice said from the door.

Jack groaned and rolled over. "Not now, mom."

"Get up," the voice said again.

Jack suddenly realised that wasn't his mother. It was a Goa'uld voice. He wasn't in his bed at home, he was lying on the floor of a Goa'uld prison. He opened his eyes and found himself staring straight at Sam. She was still asleep. He looked at her for a moment, shocked that they had been lying so close to each other and he hadn't even realised, then he sat up.

"Hey Carter, wakey wakey," he said. "The Wicked Witch of the West is knocking at the door."

"Sir?" Sam asked, opening her eyes.

She suddenly realised where she was and sat straight up. Her hair was full of dirt and her uniform was also covered in it. Jack looked past her and saw a small hole in the ground, near the wall. He guessed that Bra'tac and his friends had been in there during the night, digging.

"Oh god, we're still here," she whispered. "I had a dream, Apophis was trying to kill me."

"No Carter, that was no dream," Jack smiled.

She smiled slightly, but they were both brought back to reality when they saw a Goa'uld host standing at the 'door' to their cell, with Bra'tac behind him.

"Hey can we get out of here now?" Jack asked, loudly.

"Human be quiet," Bra'tac said. "Or I will have you shot."

"Master Bra'tac…" the Goa'uld said, then he blurted something out in another language.

"What's he saying?" Jack asked, leaning towards Sam.

"No idea," Sam replied. "I might have Jolinar's memories, but I can't remember the language."

"…Shanoll…" the Goa'uld continued.

Sam suddenly sat up straighter. "I know that word, Shanoll. It's the name of someone, but I can't remember who."

"…Tok'ra…" the Goa'uld said.

"Even I understood that one!" Jack said, lightheartedly.

"Shanoll…" Sam repeated to herself again. "Shanoll!"

"You got it?" Jack asked.

"Yeah, he's the Goa'uld who took over Major Ingles," Sam said. "But, sir, he's not Goa'uld…he's a Tok'ra."

"So this guy, the one at the door, is he a goody or a baddy?" Jack asked.

"Uh, I don't know, sir," Sam said.

Jack cringed at the word sir. He hated the word. But he couldn't order her not to call him sir. That would look suspicious.

"Sir?" she asked. "Are you OK?"

"Fine," he said. "I was just thinking."

"About?" she asked.

"Humans, follow me," the Goa'uld/Tok'ra said. "I believe you know Selmac?"

"It's OK, he's Tok'ra," Bra'tac informed them. "He is Kilo of Maulkshaw."

"Jollinar," Sam whispered.

"You know Jollinar?" Kilo asked.

"Yes, I was her last host before she died," Sam said. "She died to save me."

"Jolinar is my sister," Kilo said. "Our hosts were also brother and sister…twins. How is Martouf? I have not seen him for a while."

"Ah, Martouf is dead," Sam said, quietly. "I'm sorry."

"Good old Marty," Jack said.

Sam shot him a warning glare.

"Hey, I liked him more than ya think, Carter," Jack said. "So when do we get outta here?"

"Not yet, the tunnel is not complete," Kilo said, then he hung his head, and in a normal voice he said. "Hello, I'm glad to meet you, I am Luke. I'm from Earth like you guys."

"Greetings Earthling," Jack said. "I've always wanted to say that to someone."

Luke laughed and Sam smiled slightly. But her thoughts were on Martouf again. Jack noticed this and he decided it was probably better to change the subject.

"So where's Jacob?" Jack asked.

"He is nearby, in his ship, but we cannot take you there…we must wait for him in the Great Hall," Luke told them.

"Great Hall?" Jack questioned.

"It is where they eat food and celebrate special occasions on this planet, human," Bra'tac said. "Now follow in silence humans, or I will shoot you both."

Jack looked around and saw three more Jaffa heading up the hallway. They exchanged a brief conversation with Bra'tac and Kilo, and then continued on their way.

"Close one," Jack whispered.

--------------------------------

"Dad!" Sam said as he came into sight.

"Sammie," he said, hugging her. "You're OK! Jack."

"Jacob," Jack acknowledged him. "How'd you get here from Earth so quick?"

"This is a nearby planet," Jacob said. "Only a twenty-eight hour journey."

"How long have we been here?" Jack asked.

"About thirty hours," Jacob said.

Jack looked Sam and then at Bra'tac. "How long were we asleep?"

"For many hours," Bra'tac said. "But we thought it better not to disturb you."

"Is the tunnel almost finished?" Sam asked.

"Almost," Luke said. "Not completely. It should be completed within half an hour with the use of two staff weapons."

"What about four?" Jack asked. "We could help."

Luke looked at Jacob and then back at Bra'tac. "You think…?"

"They can do it," Jacob said. "Hand 'em a staff weapon and they'll do whatever you want them to."

----------------------------

"Janet?" Daniel asked, poking his head around the infirmary door. "Oh you're busy, never mind."

"Daniel…" Janet warned. "It's only Teal'c, and you know that there's nothing wrong with him."

"I am fine," Teal'c said. "I must discuss something urgent with…"

"OFFWORLD ACTIVATION!" the tech officer screamed over the PA.

They three of them ran out of the infirmary towards the gate room. They ran into the gate room just as the gate activated. SG-7 stepped out, closely followed by SG-13.

"You wanted us back sir?" Major Ingles asked.

"Yes, report to the infirmary," Hammond ordered.

"Sir?" Ingles asked, starting to look worried, suddenly his eyes glowed. "I'm sorry, I cannot obey that order."

He grabbed the nearest member of SG-7 and put a gun her throat. "You let us go, or the girl gets it."

"Major Ingles, if you're in there, don't worry, we'll get you out!" Hammond said.

The gate deactivated and almost straight away it started dialling again. Ingles dropped the gun and ran down the ramp, only to be caught by half a dozen SGC personnel. The rest of SG-13 were also held back. Janet ran up to the woman from SG-7 to see if she was OK. Daniel just watched her, he still had to apologise for earlier, but he didn't know how.

Suddenly Anise stepped through the gate with two more Tok'ra. "We've figured out a way to get rid of the Goa'uld inside of your team members. Follow me."

"I am Tok'ra, not Goa'uld," Ingles suddenly shouted. "I'm sorry I acted so rashly. I will let you speak to Major Ingles now."

"Debriefing room, now."

-----------------------------

Sam sat next to her father in the spaceship. "Dad, why can't we just gate back to Earth?"

"Because they blew up the Stargate after Daniel and Teal'c went back through," Jacob said. "You don't know what's going on here do you?"

Sam shook her head.

"This is like the Area 51 of Goa'uld land," Jacob started. "It's hiding the most hi-tech, advanced stuff the Goa'uld have. No unauthorised ships are allowed in the area, no unauthorised personnel. Anyone can come through the Stargate; it's too risky to them. So they blew it up, about five seconds after Daniel and Teal'c left, they didn't even realise they just missed them."

"Area 51, eh?" Jack asked, sitting down behind Jacob, in the chair. "I like your new ship Jacob."

"I only have this ship while on this mission. The gliders haven't got a high enough clearance level. But I must agree, it's nice to travel in luxury," Jacob smiled.

"Dad, have you heard of the Tok'ra Shanoll?" Sam asked.

"Shanoll? Tok'ra? Hardly," Jacob said. "Shanoll pretended he was a Tok'ra for many years, he was Kilo and Jollinar's best friend.. But unfortunately he was not loyal. When a bounty was put on Jollinar's head, he destroyed half the Tok'ra base and killed half their population, looking for Jollinar."

"Shanoll did that?" Sam asked. "But the memories I have of him are good."

"He saved Jollinar, he didn't kill her," Jacob said. "But he was Goa'uld, not Tok'ra."

"Why didn't he kill her?" Sam asked.

"Because he loved her," Jacob said.

"Jollinar sounds popular," Jack smirked from the back seat. "So how much longer have we got, Captain?"

"That's General to you, son," Jacob smiled.

"Dad, Shanoll is the Goa'uld that infested Major Ingles," Sam said.

Jacob looked at her, a look for fear came over his face. "Shanoll is on Earth?"

"Is that bad?" Jack asked.

"Oh yeah," Jacob said.

"Does this thing go any faster?" Sam asked.

"No, this is as fast as it'll go," Jacob said. "No one's ever tried going faster."

"Well try!" Jack said.

Jacob looked at Sam and then back at Jack. "You'd better go back there and tell Bra'tac and Kilo to hold on."

Jack nodded and disappeared into the back room.

"You're lucky to have a guy like him," Jacob told Sam.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Sam asked him.

Jacob raised his hands in the air and shrugged. "Whatever you want."
