AN: Sorry that it's taken so long to post chapter 9+10 I haven't been able to access ff.net for a while, now that I can again I'll be finishing up this fic.

Ellie froze a gun shot went off not far from her. The gun pressed against her own temple pinched the skin on the side of her skull. There was an unnerving silence that followed. She sat hoping for someone to say something; sitting in darkness was no place to be when a gun shot goes off.

"No one move, or the girl dies." The silence was broken by the voice of one of her captors. Ellie had an unnerving feeling that she was the girl they were to referring to.

"We've got you completely surrounded there's no reason to shoot anyone," Jack's calm voice replied to the threat.

"Yeah, that's true you have us surrounded but we have a hostage,"

Ellie froze, 'a hostage' that's singular. Adam was there hostage too wasn't he, or else they'd freed him. Ellie couldn't bring herself to think about the other option. It was just too possible, the gun shot, the singular hostage. No, it couldn't be, Adam can't die, he's been invincible ever since they were kids. Always helping her out of the gutter, protecting her, maybe he was a little bit slow but still very brave. Adam was then and even now, unbeatable and invincible.

If Adam was dead she wasn't going to let them kill her, no she was going to get revenge. Slipping her leg behind the chair, she yanked it forward and twisted her body. The result wasn't exactly what planned, but she went with it. Lying on the floor she pushed off the ground and rammed into the one of her captors. A gun shot went off and a bullet rammed into her moving side.

Ellie heard more gun shots it was clear that her sudden chair rampage had given SG1 time to act on her surprised captors. Finding her wound wasn't hard; all she had to do was follow the pain. The bullet wasn't deep but it still could be fatal. Cupping her finger she reached into her side and attempted to pull out the bullet. This of course was as easy as it seemed.

"Ellie, just stop, you're going to just hurt yourself more," Jack told her.

"Let me see that," Sam insisted easily pushing aside Ellie's objections.

The last thing Ellie remembered was one of them removing the blind fold and Teal'c picking her up. Unfortunately she was in too much pain to open her eyes.

Ellie woke up wishing that she hadn't. She didn't really care what she had to do, just as long as the pain stopped. Then she remembered Adam and it wasn't hard to sit up at all.

"Where's Adam? Is he okay?" Ellie could have whipped out a lot more questions but the pain over took her.

"Slow down there kid," Jack stood there by her bed.

"Owwie," was the only reply Ellie could manage.

"Fraiser will be back in a minute with something for the pain."

Ellie nodded. There wasn't much more that she could do. Lying back down, she looked around. She was in a hospital bed, what a shocker. There was a window to her right which meant that she was in a real hospital not the SCG. Ellie turned right as a female doctor walked in.

"She needs something for the pain doc." O'Neal informed the doctor for Ellie.

"Alright," the doctor nodded and pulled a syringe out and filled it with some kind of pain medicine. Injecting Ellie with the pain killer, Ellie was disappointed when the pain didn't go away immediately. The doctor checker her vitals then whispered something to Jack and then left.

"He's not doing so well," Jack said.

"Huh?" Ellie replied now feeling the effects of the drug.

"Adam,"

"What happened?"

"When we opened the door, the gunman watching him, panicked and shot his gun. Luckily for Adam he wasn't aiming and only got shoulder. Unfortunately, a major artery was hit and he lost a lot of blood. He's not doing so hot right now."

Ellie stared in shock. She had subconsciously been positive that Adam was dead; at least this was some what of an improvement. Or maybe it wasn't, maybe he was going to die any way. She wished that she hadn't been shot so she could go see him.

"Will he die?" The question had meant to have been bold, but ended up just above a whisper.

"We don't know yet,"

Ellie nodded when the door burst in. Ellie mother trotted in immediately wrapping Ellie in a huge hug.

"Off," Ellie gasped for breath.

"You must be Ellie's mom," Jack said to the women.

"Yes, and who are you?" She demanded.

"Colonel Jack O'Neal,"

"You're one of the Air Force officers responsible for saving her,"

"Yeah, now that someone is here with her, I need to go check on her friend."

"No, Jack don't leave me alone with her,"

All the Explanations you and the main character have been dieing to have

The men that hired Ellie were little no ones who just wanted a zat gun. They really didn't have any money at all and had no intention of paying Ellie's gang. Really they were just a bunch of college students and one of their older brothers who got a hold of a really fast internet connection (and learned how to use it) and a couple of pistols. They did everything they could to make it look like they were part of more Major Corporation.

Adam and Ellie both lived and had trouble taking jobs from random people they didn't no. Oh and no one really knows how Ryan ended up on another planet.

I'm going to leave the explanation at that cuz I might do a second story with these characters and might regret writing something here later.

Later
