Author's note: I did the best I could to keep SG1 in character, but I'm not
exactly the best at that. If you have suggestions please e-mail me at

Ellie sat up with a jerk finding herself in some kind of prison cell, the weapon still in her hands. She stood up and walked over to the look out the little window of the door.
"Damn, armed guards," Ellie cursed her bad luck. A new face popped in front of the window. "Ack!"
The door opened and a brown haired man with grey around the edges walked in along with the two from before, and a blonde women. Ellie sat down on the bed the women sat down on the chair in front of the desk, the men remained standing. The dark bald man easily pried the weapon from her hand then moved back behind the other two.
"What were you doing trying to steal a zat gun? Especially from Teal'c," The youngest of the men asked (Jonas).
Ellie yawned and rolled her eyes even the top interrogator of local police department couldn't get anything out of her. There was no chance the Air Force was going to ether. The less you say the less people get into trouble was her motto.
"Told you being nice wasn't going to get you anywhere, Jonas." The graying man gloated. "She's a teenager, being nice gets you know where with teenagers."
"She can't be a teenager; she made it all the way to level 28 without being detected. Local teenagers don't have the skills to just break into the SGC." The blonde commented.
"I have to agree with Major Carter," The bald man added. "A regular child could not have stolen my zecnetel (that's what Teal'c calls it, okay. Once again I don't think I spelled it right). Jonas was the one who noticed her."
Ellie chuckled to herself, she figured that would they would argue for a while before they realized that she was there. These were just regular people. Regular Air Force officers that weren't going to get anything out of her. She found the regular arguments resourceful this time to learn each of there first names, she could use this to seriously annoy them later. It was time for the cutie act.
"I didn't mean to trip," Ellie sniffed burying her face in her hands like she was crying. She looked up to see if it gotten the effect she wanted; it had. All four of them had turned to stare at her. Ellie smirked behind her hands.
"What do you mean trip? I watched you the whole time, you didn't trip." Jonas interrupted Ellie mid sob inconveniently.
"Have you four come up with why a teenager was wandering around in the SGC?" An older man walked in (General Hammond).
"Nothing yet sir," Answered Major Samantha Carter. "And we don't think that she's a teenager General"
"You think, you're my best team and you think. I don't care how old she is I want to know what she was doing here. I want to know whether we have a security breach or not." The general seemed pretty annoyed.
"I*sniff* got lost and found a hatch *sniffle* and got curious and went *sniff, sniff* down it. Then *sniffle* I found an elevator and decided to explore cause *sniff* I didn't see anyone. *sniff, sniff* Then I saw Teal'c and I followed him *sniffle* I tripped on my shoe lace *sniff sniffle*. Then Jonas shot me with that thing and I can't describe what it felt like and that's, I mean sniff, sniff sniffle, really unnerving. Then I woke up here and they walked in and began to argue." Ellie finished with full tears and hyperventilation crying.
"Liar," Colonel Jack O'Neal muttered quite loudly.
"The crying was a nice touch," Jonas agreed.
Ellie sat wide eyed, she had fooled older lie detectors and all of them had seen straight through her performance.
"Don't worry you're not losing you're touch. It was very convincing" Jonas commented.
"True, you're quite the actor but there's no way you could have just been strolling past the SGC, and decided to explore." Carter added in her usual scientific way.
"I take it you're pretty sure this isn't a security breach." The General guessed.
"Yes sir," Carter answered.
The general left and shut the door behind him.
"Do you know what this is?" Jonas asked her holding up a zat gun.
"I didn't till you shot me with it," Ellie snapped. "Now I know it's some sort of gun, but I don't know of any guns that look like that or that shot like that ."
"It's a new kind of technology that the Air Force has, and we only have a few of them." Carter explained.
"That would explain why that man wanted one. Opps!" Ellie clutched her mouth with both hands. She had never let anything slip before. Who were these people?
"What guy?" Jonas asked.
Ellie shook her head, and kept her hands over her mouth. 'The less said the less people get in trouble' she repeated over and over in her mind. There were twenty or so teens that had been at that meeting. She just couldn't risk speaking, she'd already said too much.
"What?" Jack asked really confused.
"Huh?" Ellie looked up.
"You were muttering to yourself something along the lines of 'the less said the less people get in trouble'. Or something like that." Carter explained.
"Scheiße!" Ellie cursed.
"Shit," said Jack.
"What?" Jonas asked.
"It means shit in German." Ellie explained.
Jonas sat there thinking for a second then realized something and 'oh'ed.
"What planet are you from?" Ellie rolled her eyes.
"," Jonas answered.
Ellie stared at him for a moment as if he were insane. Normal people don't answer when they're asked what planet they're from. This guy clearly wasn't normal.
"Okay.. This is very important, what did the man look like? If he asked you to break into the SGC, he's in trouble not you." Carter was acting very nice, clearly trying to squeeze a little extra information out of her.
"Liar," Ellie snapped.
"How much is he paying you?" Jack asked her.
"Enough," Ellie replied she didn't feel like doing the math (I didn't feel like doing the math).
"How much is enough" Jonas asked.
"Roughly 12 thousand,"
"12 thousand!!" Major Carter exclaimed.
"I knew she wasn't just doing it for perks." O'Neal gloated to no one unparticular.
"At least, it depends what kind of bargaining mood I'm in with Adam when I make the exchange. Which isn't going to happen now," Ellie glared at Jonas.
"At least? So the man's name was Adam." Jack figured.
"No! Adam is the name of my.friend...who's...going to make the exchange." Ellie bluffed not wanting to get Adam or any of the others in trouble
"Sure," said O'Neal
"No seriously I don't know the man's name. He never said it. Probably to protect his own ass if I got caught, jerk." Ellie mumbled the last part.
"You tell us what we need to catch the guy, and he will never know you talked and if he finds out, don't worry we have the best witness protection program available." Jack told her.
"I'm not worried about him finding out I talked, he doesn't seem like the guy who'd come after the one he wants to hurt. It's my friends I'm worried about. And anyway the Air Force doesn't have a witness protection program." Ellie replied.
"We don't need a witness protection program we have something better," O'Neal retorted.
"Promise?" Ellie asked.
"Promise," all four chorused together.
