AUTHOR'S NOTES: a short chapter
"Dammit General! We have saved so many ungrateful alien buts! They owe us! There must something that one of them can do!" Jack thumped the desk before rising to stand next to the window of the briefing room, looking out at the Stargate.
"None of them can help her, son." Hammond tried to soothe Jack.
"None of them can or none of them will?" Jack snapped.
"Colonel O'Neill!"
"Sir, with all due respect, why do we bother forming alliances when none of them will help us when we need it?"
"Colonel, none of our allies have the technology to cure Major Carter."
Teal'c sat pensively saying nothing.
"Dismissed." General Hammond stood up and Teal'c hurried back to the infirmary.
"Jack, can I have a word?" Jack followed General Hammond into his office and shut the door.
"Son, this is going to be tough on all of us." Hammond couldn't believe he was having to say this about Sam. "I know how much she means to you." Normally, Jack would respond with a regulation obeying 'she's a very valuable member of my team' but this time all he could do was look at General Hammond who continued. "I know she's a fighter but I think we must prepare for the worst."
"General, if you don't mind, I'd like to go home and get some rest." Jack couldn't face this and Hammond knew it.
"Of course." Jack was almost out of the door when Hammond added.
"Doctor Fraser thinks that she may have less than twenty four hours." Jack paused for a minute and then carried on walking. Hammond shook his head. None of them wanted to face this but they had to.
**********
Jack had just reached the elevator when he heard a familiar voice call out, "O'Neill!" Jack turned round to see Teal'c hurrying towards him. Teal'c had been sitting in Sam's private room and had seen Jack pass.
"Do you intend to return soon?" Jack sighed.
"I dunno."
"Major Carter's condition is grave."
"I know." said Jack turning his back on Teal'c.
"Do not wait until it is too late!" Teal'c called as the elevator doors closed. Jack was left stunned by the words that were so unlike Teal'c.
