Chapter 8: Somebody's Always Watching
They wandered around the zoo for the next half hour until finally Jack couldn't take it anymore. He yawned and stretched.
-There is only so long one can stare at furry woodland creatures. Who votes we find something else to do?
-Uh...Colonel?
Jack glared at Sam.
-Sorry. Jack?
-Yah?
-Since when do you believe in operating a democratic form of government?
He thought for a moment.
-Good point. Let's go.
As they headed for the exit they once more passed the koalas. Teal'c stopped dead in his tracks and stared at the cage.
-O'Neill, were there not 4 rhisocandrias here earlier?
-I told you before, Teal'c, they're koalas. And no, there were only 3.
-Are you certain?
-Quite.
Katie turned to Jack.
-No, dad, I think there were 4.
-No, your imaginations have just gone into overdrive. There were only 3.
-Ok...
They continued for the exit with both Teal'c and Katie looking back over their shoulders. And as they walked by, a stealthy rhisocandria looked on from the bushes as he prepared his attack.
