"What do you mean Major Carter has been kidnapped?" Hammond asked over the phone.
"The Goa'uld…Jason…Tutankhamen, whatever you wanna call him took Sam," Daniel said. "Just disappeared, kind of like Hathor…but it seemed different."
"So you don't have any idea where he is?" Hammond asked.
"No," Daniel replied, looking over at Jack, who had his eyes glued to the TV.
"OK, I'll have to report this to the president," Hammond said. "Good luck."
"Thanks General," Daniel hung up the phone.
After hours searching for Sam they'd given up and gone back to the hotel to inform the SGC of what had happened. Jack had been reluctant to stop the search, but Daniel and Teal'c had both insisted that they headed back to the hotel. It was already ten o'clock at night and Jack was watching the late night news.
"Today a mysterious even occurred at Chadstone Shopping Centre," the reporter said.
Daniel turned around to look at the TV and Teal'c appeared out of his bedroom. They had to see what the press had on the situation.
"The popular English pop singer Jason Blank has mysteriously disappeared," the reporter continued.
"You could say that," Jack muttered.
The reporter continued further. "A woman has been reportedly taken along with Jason Blank, details are sketchy at the moment and the two security guards on duty say they saw nothing. Other witnesses say a woman in her thirties, blonde hair about 170cm tall and wearing a black leather jacket and jeans went to get an autograph and Mr Blank jumped over the counter and grabbed her. This is all anybody saw because they all ran out. The police are refusing to share anymore information with us but say if you know anything ring…"
Jack turned the TV off.
They sat in silence.
"O'Neill," Teal'c said.
"Yes Teal'c?" Jack replied, not turning away from the blank TV.
"Maybe we could assist the police search for MajorCarter," Teal'c suggested. "Like in movies."
"I wouldn't know where to start in this country," Jack said.
"Should we return to the scene of the crime?" Daniel asked.
Jack turned around to stare at him. "The scene of the crime? Daniel…it's a Goa'uld, and to make that worse it's a famous Goa'uld…he's not gonna return to a crowded shopping centre."
"Well…we've gotta start somewhere," Daniel said.
"Where would a Goa'uld go?" Teal'c asked.
"I don't know, you're the Jaffa, where would a Goa'uld go?" Daniel asked.
"I do not know DanielJackson, that is why I am asking you," Teal'c replied.
"Oh for crying out loud…trust us to pick the biggest, most empty country in the world for Carter to get kidnapped in," Jack said. "OK Daniel you ring the police, find out what they know…Teal'c, start thinking of places that a Goa'uld would use as a hiding place on Earth…and I'll…I'll go and speak to the press, find out what they've got."
"Jack I have a better idea…how about you find those security guards and talk to them," Daniel said. "They might know something we don't."
Jack nodded and stood up, walking out of the hotel room.
"Try finding the announcer person from the concert as well," Daniel shouted as he was leaving.
"Yeah, yeah," Jack shouted back, slamming the door.
Teal'c looked at Daniel who was searching through the phone book for the police number.
"DanielJackson," Teal'c said.
"Yes Teal'c?" Daniel said, looking up.
"Have you tried calling MajorCarter's cell phone?" Teal'c asked.
Daniel felt like his jaw could've dropped to the ground. "Why didn't we think of that?"
He started rummaging around in his things for his phone book. He found Sam's number and grabbed the hotel phone. He pressed 0 so it would let him dial outside of the hotel and then dialled Sam's number. Holding his breath he expected to hear the answer phone. Instead it started ringing.

Sitting against a bail of hay Sam looked around at the contents of the room. There wasn't much. There was a window that had had wood nailed over it so no one could get through it, but it let a small amount of light through from the main buildings. There were also so many gaps between the wooden planks that made up the walls so during the day it would be quite light. Two men were posted at the door, but they were too far away for her to sense if they were Goa'uld or just human bodyguards. She suddenly felt a vibration in her jacket pocket.
"Holy Hannah," she said, grabbing her pocket.
The Goa'uld hadn't tied her up, had just dumped her in the room. She fumbled for the phone she'd completely forgotten about, and sort of assumed had been taken off her along with her gun and ID, but she'd forgotten it had been in her inside pocket, harder to find. The guards weren't looking so she crawled along the ground behind the haystack.
"Hello?" she whispered.
"Sam!"
"Daniel!"
"Sam…where are you?" Daniel asked.
"I have no idea," Sam replied. "He drugged me."
"You still wanna believe he's innocent?" Daniel asked.
Sam looked up to see a few guards walking in her direction. "Crap, Daniel someone's coming."
She hung up the phone and shoved it back into her jacket pocket. She stood up from behind the hay bails and looked at the two guards.
"Yeah?" she asked. "Why am I here?"
"Cos you're a Goa'uld spy sent by the system lords to destroy Jason," the blonde guard said.
"A what spy? I've never heard of the…what did you call them? A Goold?" she played dumb.
"You know exactly what we're talking about," the other guard said, slapping her face and knocking her over.
She fell back onto the concrete ground. "Ow," she said quietly, a sharp, stabbing pain, jabbing through her wrist.
"You will tell us who sent you and why," the blonde guard said.
"I told you, I don't know what you're talking about. I happen to be a big fan of Jason Blank…" she felt another slap hit her face.
Sam looked up to see the face of the guard in the shadows. Something told her she wasn't going to get out of this soon.

Jack walked into the shopping centre and looked at the spot where the concert had been held. The big black stage was still there, rubbish lying everywhere and the chairs all knocked over. Yellow police tape surrounded the scene. All the shops were closed, and the one's that weren't closed yet were in the process of closing. Groups of teenagers were hanging around, whispering as they walked past the crime scene. A few went into the bowling alley, but most people seemed to be heading home.
Jack walked up to the police line and ducked under it. A young looking police man noticed him and walked over.
"Excuse me, sir, you can't come in here," he said.
"I'm a friend of the woman who was kidnapped today," Jack said, pulling out his Air Force ID.
The young cop looked at it. "US Air Force, Colonel Jack O'Neill. She was Air Force?"
"Yeah, a Major," Jack said. "Who's in charge here?"
"Umm…" the young cop looked around. "Probably Detective Harry Thompson."
He pointed to a man in a suit who would've been in his early forties, standing over near the stage.
"Thanks," Jack said, walking towards the man. "Detective Harry Thompson?"
"Who's asking?" the man asked.
"Colonel Jack O'Neill, US Air Force," Jack said, showing him his ID. "Are you in charge here?"
"Yeah, what's the yanks, let alone the yanky Air Force got to do with this in the first place?" Harry asked.
"The woman who got kidnapped was part of my team, we're here on holidays," Jack said. "I wanna help find her."
"Look, mate, we're trying as hard as we can, the best you can do to help is stay out of our way and if you leave a number we'll call you when we find more information," Harry said.
Jack stared at him. He couldn't exactly tell him that they were in Australia in the first place to track down Jason Blank to see if he was an alien from another planet.
"I wanna help," Jack repeated.
Harry looked at him for a minute. "She's a good friend of yours, huh?"
Jack nodded. "I can ring the President of the United States if you want me to prove who I am…"
"You know the President?" Harry asked. "Wow, that's impressive. I'll let you in, as long as you don't get in the way…just remember this is our investigation. I don't want yanks running all over the place within a day."
"Don't worry, we're undercover here, we'd prefer to not attract attention," Jack said.
"I thought you were on holidays," Harry looked at him surprised.
"I might've twisted the truth," Jack said.
"Yeah, well you better stop doing that, we need to know everything you can tell us," Harry said.
Jack opened his mouth to explain it was classified when his cell phone started ringing in his pocket. "Excuse me."
He walked away from the police, somewhere where he could talk privately. "O'Neill."
"Jack," Daniel's voice said.
"They've allowed me in on the investigation," Jack said. "After I sort of let slip I knew the President of the United States."
"I called Sam's cell," Daniel said.
"You did what?" Jack asked. "Did she answer? Is she ok?"
"She was fine when I rang, she doesn't know where she is but she had to go quickly," Daniel replied.
"What do you mean she was fine when she rang…should I tell the cops that you contacted her?" Jack asked.
"If you think we should…" Daniel said.
"Thanks Daniel," Jack said, hanging up his cell and turning to Harry. "She's got a cell phone on her."
Harry turned to the young cop Jack had talked to earlier. "She has a mobile, think you can set up a trace?"
Jack looked at him. "Is that wise?"
"We can but try," Harry replied.
