The Last Divination

Chapter 5- Interrogation and explanation

"I will not tell you any information!" cried Nirti.

"Well, that's good 'cause we don't want you to say anything, we want you to 'do' something., so shut up." Said Jack.

"Colonel." General Hammond shot a warning look at him. They were in the infirmary dressing Nirti's wound with a couple of heavily armed airmen surrounding her. "Nirti, whatever you've done to Jonas Quinn, reverse it."

"I will not do anything."

"Oh, I believe you will..." Said Hammond, who then turned and left Jack Teal'c and Sam to question her.

"Because of you, Jonas is laying down there on a bed threatening to kill everyone," Sam snapped. When Nirti smirked, she added, "including you."

Nirti face fell, and Jack said, "Airmen, take our 'guest' and put her in a holding cell." As they seized her, he muttered, "and don't forget to throw away the key."

~*~*~*~*~*~

Sam went to visit Jonas soon after. Now he was lying on the bed completely still, but it wasn't like he had a choice. An airman the size of England was keeping watch beside him.

"We captured Nirti. She's in a holding cell." Sam wasn't expecting a response, but she got one.

"Sam," Jonas said roughly. He obviously hadn't spoken since she had last left him. Then, clearing his throat he tried again. "Sam, I've been as quiet as a mouse since you've been gone." He smiled and she smiled back.

"So you are still in there somewhere."

"Yeah." He replied. "I find being quiet helps."

"Helps what?"

"Helps everything..."

"So," Sam quizzed, "Sometimes its you talking, and sometimes its...?"

"Its always me talking." he answered. "I can control what I say both ways, but a part of me has changed."

"Was it Nirti? That did it?"

"Probably. I'm not totally sure myself. Sam, you must tell Colonel O'Neill that it won't always be the part of me that hasn't changed talking. You can't be sure, so don't let me go...at least not yet. I could trick you."

"Ok" She touched his hand comfortingly. "Pull yourself back together soon." He laughed quietly. "Yeah." Then she left.

*~*~*~*~*

The next day, Teal'c went to see Jonas, or half of him at least.

"Jonas Quinn, it is I." He said.

"So?"

"Nirti still will not say anything." He told him.

"If you had listened earlier, I said that firstly, this is nothing to do with Nirti, and secondly, I have always been this way. Anyway, I like me like this."

"Then you admit it has not always been this way." Teal'c stated cleverly.

There was a short silence, then "Go away."

Teal'c didn't move.

"Go away. Go away! GO AWAY!" Jonas was fuming. The madder he got, the stronger he got. Both of his hands broke free of the extra strong restraints. Teal'c tried to stop him but Jonas shoved him off. He slammed Teal'c's head into a nearby steel cabinet. He quickly overpowered the airmen and headed for the door. He briefly turned around to admire his destruction when something attacked him from behind. As Jonas fell once again, Teal'c saw Jack emerge from behind him, holding a tranquilliser. As they both looked down at the unconscious Jonas, Jack shrugged and said, "Worked before..."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"I'm afraid we're going to have to keep him constantly sedated." Explained Dr Frasier. We can't risk that happening again..."

*Where Jonas was he didn't know, but Daniel Jackson was right beside him.

"Where are we?" Jonas asked.

"Your subconscious mind" came the reply.

"Oh...why?"

"Can't I say hi once in a while? Ok, ok. They had to sedate you, but I think you understand why. You were trying to kill everyone after all?" Both of Daniel's eyebrows raised as he said this. Jonas thought.

"Why are you talking to me?"

"Why not? I've given Jack and Teal'c encouraging advice...Sam didn't really need any but you did. And you are part of SG-1 after all..."

Jonas smiled at Daniel in a thankful way. He was glad Daniel had accepted him.

"So, all I really wanted to say was hang in there. You're going to be ok eventually, and everything will be sorted out soon." He told Jonas.

"Soon? Can't you just, you know...speed things up a bi-"

"No." It was worth a try.

"Ok... Thanks anyway." Said Jonas gratefully.

"Well, I got to go. Things to do-"

"Higher plains to achieve?" Jonas finished his sentence jokingly.

"You got it." And with that, Daniel disappeared and Jonas was left alone. *
