Author's Notes: Takes place in season 6 but without Jonas. I don't like him so I don't have ta use him....Also I've only see up to Alleigance in Season 6 cause they haven't screened the rest here yet, bear with me on any mistakes timeline wise.
Also, many thanks to my two new Beta Readers, Becca and Robin. They're fantastic.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the storyline, plus Ms. Patrice and her Goons-For-Hire.

Alright Major. I want you to remain in your current position. Stay alert and I will pass on the necessary information to our operatives. General Hammond ordered Major Carter.

The Major responded. Her speech slurring a little. Hanging up the pay phone, she began to walk quickly back to the car park but had to slow her pace as another wave of dizziness swept over her. Sinking back into her hiding spot she couldn't deny it any longer. The Nanites were having an effect, and what damage they might do if not removed as Ms. Patrice had planned on, the Major didn't know.

Jack and Teal'c arrived at Anzac Square. They had decided that they would continue to Carter's last known whereabouts, while Daniel would try to gain access to Madam Patrice's inner sanctum. There was no use in finding Sam if they didn't know what she was wanted for. Her captors would simply try again.

A flame flickered on a pedastel down one end of the square. Looking around the man and the alien could see a few scattered people but naught of their missing Major. The Simpsons theme song interrupted their brooding, Jack pulled out his phone and answered it as Teal'c raised an eyebrow.



We've got her location Colonel.

Daniel walked down the corridor, he was carrying a manila folder full of blank paper he'd snagged off a desk. Walking up to someone he pushed his glasses up and coughed slightly.

A woman with a mane of red frizzy hair asked.

I uh, I have to take this report to Ms. Conrad. The woman blinked at him. Uh, so where is her office?

Two floors up, down the end of the hall. She replied. Daniel nodded and walked down to the lift. Punching the button he waited paitently. The lift dinged and Daniel stepped through the doors. Nauseating background music piped into the lift as Daniel rode up to Patrice Conrad's office.

He stepped out and glanced about. Seeing no-one around he walked steadily down the corridor. He stopped in front of a pair of doors, one of which was slightly ajar, and peered around. The office was empty. Glancing behind him and slipped through and over to the desk.

Sitting down and looked through the papers directly in front of him. Nothing. He moved over to a filing cabinet and started to rumage. Locating a file titled Major Carter USAF' he pulled it out. Extracting another titled Adrian Conrad-treatment notes' he closed the filing cabinet.

He had turned to leave the room when a glitter caught his eye. Moving to a cupboard where the sparkle came from he pushed one of doors open. Daniel's breath caught in his throat. Slamming the cupboard closed he moved quickly from the room. Ducking into the lift as a woman walked out of another door. He caught the last words of her conversation with someone who he guessed was behind her.

She's been located. Cameron reported it an hour ago. I want the perimeter..... The rest of the words were lost as the doors of the lift shut. Flipping open his mobile phone Daniel dialled Jack.

Jack's voice came through the phone.

I know what they want with her Jack, and they know where she is.
