Jack and Teal'c had managed to take cover behind and boulder about 200 hundred meters from the stargate. Fortunately they had managed to loose the Jaffa who had been firing at them but the gate was heavily guarded and there was still no sign of Sam or Daniel.

Jack was just about to try his radio again when, he heard the stargate whoosh into life. He glanced up from his position behind the boulder to see that the Jaffa were fleeing the planet. He also noticed that among them was Apophis and Shau're.

"It seems the Goa'uld are leaving Oneill"

"yeah I wonder why"

"there is no sign of either Major Carter or Daniel Jackson with them"

"that's probably a good thing. Chances are they saw them and managed to take cover"

As the last Jaffa went through the gate, Jack and Teal'c left their hiding spot and Jack tried his radio again

"Carter this is Oneill, Carter come in"

"over here Sir"

Jack spun around to find Sam and Daniel coming out of the thick scrub behind him

"are you guys all right?"

"yes Sir"

Daniel didn't say anything, instead he just headed towards the stargate. Jack made a mental note to check on him when they got back

"okay, in that case I say we all head home"
