CHAPTER FIVE

SPOILERS: Divide and Conquer and Beneath the Surface

"…I think I can handle this…yes…OK…thank you," Hammond hung up the phone and sighed.

Suddenly the door in front of him slammed open. A rugged looking Jack stood in front of him, Sam was only a few steps behind him. Jack walked quickly up to Hammond's desk while Sam closed the door behind her.

"Where's SG-13?" Jack asked.

"The one that took over Major Ingles, he pretends to be a Tok'ra, but, sir, he's one of the Tok'ra most feared enemies," Sam informed him.

The door opened again and Jacob, Luke and Bra'tac stepped in. Jacob walked over to Jack's side and leaned on Hammond's desk.

"George, we have a problem," Jacob said.

"I've already told him, Dad," Sam said.

"Well?" Jacob asked Hammond.

"Why is he one of your most feared enemies?" Hammond asked.

"Cos he knows who we are, he knows the Tok'ra ways," Jacob suddenly stopped and looked at Sam. "I know why he came here!"

"Why?" Sam asked.

"No time to explain now," he said, turning to Jack. "Get her outta here."

"Wha…? Dad?" Sam asked, as Jack grabbed her arm.

"Come on, Carter…I'm sure he has a good reason," Jack said. "Trust me, I'd rather be here with the action than hiding from it."

But I'd rather be hiding with you than fighting the Goa'ulds, he thought to himself.

Jacob ran out of the room with Hammond tailing him closely. Bra'tac also ran after them. But Luke followed Jack and Sam. They ran out of the base and Jack found his car. He threw open the passenger door and told Sam to get in. Luke opened the back door and jumped in. For a moment Jack glared at him, but realised he was an ally, and he couldn't do anything about it. He opened the door and got inside, starting up the engine.

"So what did my Dad just realise?" Sam asked, turning around to look at Luke.

"He wants revenge on you," Luke said. "Well not you, but Jollinar."

"Then why didn't he just kill me when he had the chance?" Sam asked, confused.

"Because the other's that he's with, they are Tok'ra," Luke said. "And they don't know who he is. As long as he says he's Tok'ra, and gives them a false name, they won't know any different."

"But he thinks I'm in a Goa'uld prison," Sam said.

"Precisely," Luke said. "So as long as you stay away from him, he won't know otherwise."

Sam decided this was plausible, and flopped back in her seat. Jack smiled.

"So where do ya wanna go?" he asked.

"We should go to someone's house. I think that's the best way to hide from him, sir," Sam said.

"Ah, for crying out loud," Jack whispered. "My house? That's the closest."

"I would be interested to see this house of yours," Luke said, from the back seat.

"I bet ya would," Jack whispered to himself.

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

"Dr Frasier, I do not see the point in this," Major Ingles/Shanoll was saying as Jacob, Hammond and Bra'tac marched in.

"Kracto nasha, moracta nicht Tok'ra, ta lo mach, Goa'uld!" Bra'tac spat out.

Anise and her fellow Tok'ra jumped backwards. The other three members of SG-13 also backed away.

"What did you say?" Janet asked Bra'tac.

"He said that he was not a Tok'ra, but a Goa'uld," Daniel whispered to her.

"Oh," Janet said.

"Kracto moracta tel nach, moronaic ta Shanoll," Selmac said.

Teal'c eyebrows shot up. "The betrayer of the Tok'ra?"

"Yes," Selmac said. "Jackta ignato marka to lack, sa mota jinta acta."

"No!" Shanoll said aloud.

The three remaining members of SG-13 stood up and moved towards Shanoll. They grabbed him at the exact same time, there was no way that Shanoll could've escaped. Hammond looked at Jacob, confused.

"What are you doing now?" Hammond asked him.

"We will take him back to the Tok'ra home world, where he will undergo trial for his wrongs and errors," Anise informed him.

"Aren't you going to take the Goa'uld out first?" Hammond asked. "I would like Major Ingles returned to me in one piece thank you."

"He will be, but after the trial," Anise said. "There is no way to talk to the Goa'uld without a host body for it. Major Ingles will be returned to you after the trial."

"Thank you," Hammond said. "You have permission to return to your planet. You are all dismissed."

Daniel stood up and caught Jacob on the shoulder before he left the room. "Where's Sam and Jack?"

"I sent them away, to hide from Shanoll," Jacob told him. "He's after Sam, because she was Jollinar's last host. There's obviously something he doesn't want her to remember."

"Like what?" Daniel asked.

"That I don't want to imagine," Jacob said. "I really don't."

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

"Beer? Coke? Water?" Jack asked, searching through his fridge.

"I'm fine," Sam said, sitting down on the couch.

"Me too," Luke said, he was marvelling at the pictures of Mars on Jack's wall. "What planet is this?"

"It's a planet not too far away from here…actually it's right next door," Jack smiled, pulling a beer out of the fridge for himself and heading towards the nearest chair. "So why does this Solma dude want to kill Jollinar?"

"Shanoll wishes to destroy the last remnants of Jollinar's Memory," Luke said. "There is obviously something that he does not wish anyone to remember."

"Like?" Jack asked, taking a sip of his beer and spitting it out. "Ah, for crying out loud! This is water. Damnit. Teal'c been in my fridge again."

"Teal'c?" Sam asked. "He comes here?"

"All the time," Jack said, walking back up to the kitchen to swap it for a real beer. "He likes eating my food and playing with my 'primitive technology'. But he always drinks my beer and the fills the bottles up with water. And he screws the lid on so tight that I dunno is it's already been opened or not!"

Sam smiled, but he smile faded quickly. How come he never invited her to come over to his house? She knew Daniel came there sometimes and obviously Teal'c as well. But he never invited her to come over. Maybe he didn't like her.

But the Zatarc thing, she reminded herself. Maybe that was the reason he never invited her over. Maybe he was afraid of something happening, something that they couldn't hide. Or maybe he was even scared of a having a decent conversation with her, just in case something that he shouldn't be feeling or thinking popped out at the wrong time.

"Wakey, wakey. Earth to Carter," he said, waving his hand in front of her face.

"Sorry, sir, I was just thinking," Sam replied.

Jack sat down on the couch next her. He was far enough away, but she suddenly felt uncomfortable. She looked up to see where Luke was, but he was no longer in the room.

"Where's Luke?" she asked.

"He wondered outside to look at stuff," Jack said. "You sure you don't want a beer?"

"I'm fine," Sam insisted.

"So…" Jack started. "Any idea of what Jollinar remembers that Shanoll doesn't want out?"

"No, sir," Sam said.

Jack shuffled and moved into another position. Sam was suddenly afraid that he would move closer. But she had nothing to worry about, he seemed more like he was moving away from her. Suddenly the memory of when they had lost their memories in the mines came back to her. There she didn't have to be afraid of how close she got to someone, or who that person was. Her and Jack had just been Thera and Jonah, two normal people who could act like normal people.

But when she'd gotten her memory back she'd become embarrassed. She shouldn't have been so close to her CO. But the thing that worried her most is that straight away she wanted to forget again. She wanted to be Thera and Jonah. She wanted to be able to feel what she wanted to. To be able to…

"Carter?" Jack asked. "Did you hear anything I just said?"

"Sorry sir, I wasn't listening again," she said.

"You wanna sleep or something?" Jack asked. "There's a spare bedroom…"

"No I'm fine," Sam said. "Maybe I should ring Daniel…"

"Carter, you're not supposed to be on planet, remember?" Jack said.

"Oh yeah," Sam said. "Well it shouldn't matter if I ring Daniel right?"

Just then the phone rang. Jack looked at her in surprise. "If this is Daniel…Hello?"

He picked up the phone.

"Daniel? Yeah, I'll just get her for you," Jack said, he turned to Sam. "You guys have a psychic link or something that I don't know about?"

Sam smiled, taking the phone from Jack. "Hi Daniel. I'm fine…no we'll be right…OK thanks…what happened?…Wow…So they've taken him back to the Tok'ra home world right?…so we can return to base now?…OK thanks Daniel. Bye."

She hung up and turned back to Jack. "They're just about to return Shanoll through the gate, but he said Hammond wants me to stay away longer, just incase of security breach."

She could've sworn Jack looked happier. "Good, now where's Luke? LUKE!"

"Here," Luke said, appearing in the room again.

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

"Daniel Jackson? Are you paying attention?" Teal'c asked.

"I'm fine Teal'c," Daniel said, looking around nervously.

Anise and Jacob walked into the gateroom, dragging Major Ingles between them.

"I swear I'm not him!" Ingles shouted. "The Goa'uld left me! You can even do a thingo on me…I'm not a Goa'uld! Let go of me! The Goa'uld left me, it went into someone else!"

"If it's in someone else, prove it to me," Anise said. "Who is it?"

"I don't know, I was knocked out…remember?" Ingles said.

Janet creased her forehead. He was acting a lot like the normal Ingles. Very unlike he had been during his time as a Goa'uld. But she reminded herself that the Goa'uld could read the host's mind and they would know what they acted like. She looked at Daniel who seemed distant.

"Daniel? You still awake?" she asked.

"I am fine," he repeated.

Janet shrugged to herself and turned back to the Tok'ra. They disappeared through the gate and about five seconds after the wormhole disengaged.

"WORMHOLE DISENGAGED!" the tech officer shouted of the PA, as if anyone who cared couldn't see that for themselves.

Janet and Teal'c turned to leave the room. Slowly it emptied out, leaving Daniel standing by himself. No one in the half emptied gate room noticed as Daniel's eyes changed from their normal colour and glowed for a few seconds, then returning to normal. He grinned evilly (very un-Daniel like) and walked fast out of the gate room. He was going to Jack's house to find the last of Jollinar's memory and destroy it…
