A/N: Well that was a good amount of reviews overnight! Lol! Gotta admit I'm getting really into this fic too so I'm dying to write more! Lol! Ok well here's more for ya all :D!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Sam opened her eyes to find herself staring at an opening sarcophagus. Well she hadn't opened her eyes, Ankhesenamun had opened them for her. Yet again Sam was trapped in her own body. It wasn't a new experience to her…but as many times as it happened it still wasn't something that got any better. In fact it got worse every time it happened.

"Welcome back Ankhesenamun, my love," she heard Jason say from outside the sarcophagus.

"Tutankhamen," Sam felt herself saying. "It is good to have a proper host again, to walk in the light of day rather than remaining in an enclosed jar with only my own mind for entertainment."

"Now we must return to the press, show them that you are in fact my wife and to stop them chasing after me. Then we may regain the power we had before this all happened," Jason said.

Ankhesenamun turned Sam's head to look to where Osiris was standing. "And what of her?"

"She is with us now," Jason whispered. "She will help us take over this planet, something the other system lords could never accomplish."

"What about the people of the SGC…they will return for this body," Ankhesenamun stated.

"Then they will die," Osiris spoke up for the first time. "And they will die the horrible deaths they deserve."

****

"Yes, sir," Jack said into the phone.

Daniel was watching him carefully. He knew that Jack couldn't be taking this well. In fact he couldn't believe he'd just shot Sam himself. He felt bad shooting Jaffa, let alone a friend who was like a sister to him. But she'd wanted him to, and the Goa'uld would save her, even if the Goa'uld itself couldn't manage to keep her alive, they would just put her in a sarcophagus and bring her back.

At least he was pretty sure she'd live.

"General I'm not gonna leave her there…" Jack said. "Yes, sir, I know that…yes, sir."

He hung up the phone and turned to Daniel. Daniel raised his eyebrows in question. No one else in the room spoke. The five of them had returned to the hotel room they'd been staying in for the past couple of days.

"He wants us back at the SGC," Jack sighed.

Daniel blinked. "We're not leaving..." it was half a question, half a statement.

"Yes we are," Jack said. "Start packing."

"Jack, we can't just leave her…" Daniel said.

"Daniel you think I don't know that!?" Jack shouted. "But I have a direct order, and disobeying orders is not the best way to get help finding Sam."

Daniel was rather taken aback by Jack's use of Sam's first name. He never referred to her as "Sam" it was always "Carter" or "Major"…but never Sam. He was trying to show Daniel that as much as he cared about her there was nothing they could do for her at that exact moment.

"Jason Blank is due to start touring in the US in two weeks anyway," Jack muttered. "If he does that then Carter will be with him…we can nab her then."

"Wait, Jack…even if we get her back – we have no way of getting the Goa'uld out of her…" Daniel said.

"Then we'll find a way!" he shouted. "Now we've got a plane to catch in two hours so start packing."

With that he stormed out of the room, Daniel assumed he was heading to Sam's room to pack up her stuff.

"Uh…Dr Jackson," Harry asked.

"Call me Daniel," Daniel replied.

"Daniel…" he repeated his name. "What do we do?"

Daniel look at him. "Do some digging, see what you can find…but don't tell anyone about any of this – if anyone asks you weren't there. And there's no point telling everyone about the Goa'uld because they'll probably throw you into a mental asylum."

Steven smiled slightly. "Well I was seriously considering throwing you lot in one after you tried explaining that stuff to us in the car…but I guess you were right."

"Thank you for your assistance," Teal'c said.

"You're welcome, mate," Harry replied. "Never worked with an alien before."

Teal'c smiled slightly. "And you will probably never do so again."

"Well we better be off, the station will be getting suspicious by now," Harry said. "Come on Officer Darcy."

"Coming," Steven replied. "See ya…good luck finding Major Carter."

"Thanks," Daniel said.

Teal'c just nodded.

The two Australians left the hotel room, leaving Daniel & Teal'c standing in silence.

******

Jack stared out the window of Sam's hotel room, staring at Flinders St Station. He remembered standing here only a couple of days earlier, with Sam, staring out the exact same window. Now she was a Goa'uld. It was all his fault, if he'd gone in with her…or gotten to the mountain just a few minutes earlier he might've saved her. She might've been standing next to him at that exact moment, also staring out the window.

"I know! Just leave me…Colonel please leave!" the memory of her last words echoed through his head like it was a big, empty valley. How could he have left her? And now they were going back to the United States…away from where Sam was.

Or had been.

She was probably gone now – been ringed aboard Osiris' mother ship and put into one of those sarcophaguses. At least he hoped that was what happened. If she died he would never forgive himself, or Daniel for that matter. He couldn't believe Daniel had shot her…even if it was for the best.

She'll be fine, Jack told himself. She'll be alive. We'll find her and bring her back and then the Tok'ra can extract her and then everything will be back to normal.

Back to normal…

For the past couple of years normal had been ignoring his feelings for her, pretending that they didn't exist, to protect her more than anything. But now look where his feelings for her had gotten. He'd ignored them too much and now she was gone and he might never have the chance to…

Stop, he ordered himself.

He wasn't gonna let that happen. He wasn't going to lose someone else he loved, not another one. He'd lost too much in his life – Sam wasn't going to be the next thing he lost. Maybe he should just quite altogether, leave the SGC, then if something happened to Sam it wouldn't be his fault.

But if something happened he wouldn't be there to save her…and therefore it would be his fault anyway.

"Jack…" Daniel's voice came.

Jack didn't reply.

"I'm sorry…I didn't want to shoot her…" Daniel said, almost a whisper.

"I know, it's not your fault," Jack said. "I don't blame you…Sam would've wanted it."

He had to put on his warrior face, his military side and ignore the part of him that thought of Sam as much more than a second-in-command.

"When do we leave?" Daniel asked.

"Plane leaves in just under two hours…we'll have to leave soon," Jack replied.

Daniel nodded and left. Jack turned around to watch him leave. Then he bent down and started picking up Sam's things to put in her suitcase.

TWO DAYS LATER

***************

Harry Thompson looked up at the television. It was all lies and he knew it, but he couldn't say anything to anyone. They were saying that the incident at Chadstone had been a personal matter between Jason Blank and his long-time girlfriend, American – Samantha Carter, and that it had now been resolved. Because of the stressful situation Jason was cancelling the rest of his Australian tour and delaying his American tour until later in the year. He looked at Steven with a couple of the other young cops who were sitting around discussing a case they'd been assigned to. Steven looked up at that point and noticed Harry staring at him. He excused himself from the group and walked over.

"Detective…we have to do something," Steven said.

"I agree," Harry said, switching the TV off. "We should go back up to the cabin at Mt Dandenong where this all happened and see if we can find anything."

Steven nodded. "When are you free?"

"I've got this afternoon off…" Harry said. "What about you?"

"Me too," Steven said. "I'll just cancel my plans to go out with the guys."

"Good," Harry said. "I need your help on this…"

"Yes, Detective," Steven said. "Can I get back…"

"Sure thing, mate," Harry said, returning half-heartedly to the case he was supposed to be working on.

Five hours later the two cops found themselves standing outside the same barn that they had seen things they couldn't explain only a few days before. It was deserted, that had been obvious before they had even reached the cabin and barn. There were no signs of it being lived in. It had obviously been a temporary headquarters for the Goa'uld.

"I'll take the barn, you search the house," Harry ordered.

Steven nodded and ran off towards the cabin to search it. Harry walked into the familiar looking barn and looked around. He could see where Major Carter had fallen to the ground, shot by Daniel, the blood had stained the hay beneath it. There were tumbled hay bails lying all over the ground. He wondered if anyone actually owned this property…they were in for a surprise when they came back to visit. There was still a dead Jaffa lying on the ground in the corner of the barn.

Harry screwed up his nose. The least the Goa'uld could've done was clean up behind themselves. There was a window at the top of the hay bail pile that had been closed up with wood and broken again later…he guessed that was from Major Carter trying to escape.

"Detective!" he heard Steven's voice calling.

"Yeah, mate?" Harry asked, walking back out of the barn, there wasn't much to see in there.

"Look at this," Steven was waving a piece of paper in front of his face.

Harry took it from him. It had seven symbols written at the top and below that was something that looked like a 'join-the-dots' game his sisters' kids would play. A whole bunch of circles joined together with lines…extremely straight lines. Below that was something that looks like Egyptian hieroglyphs.

"Do you know what any of this means?" Harry asked.

"This symbol was on a jacket that Daniel Jackson had lying on his bed," he said, pointing to the seventh symbol written across the top of the page. "But nothing else makes sense to me."

Just then Harry's mobile started ringing. He grabbed it out of his pocket and flicked it open. "Thompson," he said.

"Detective Thompson, we need you at Chapel St in ten minutes…" came his superiors voice.

"Parker…I'm at Mt Dandenong," Harry replied.

"What the hell? What are you doing up there?" Parker asked.

"Visiting my grandma…" Harry lied.

"You're grandmother died two years ago – I came with you to the funeral remember?" Parker replied. "I'm not stupid Thompson…you're supposed to be on call."

"Something came up," Harry winced, knowing he was in for it now.

"I thought you had the afternoon off…" Steven whispered.

"Who's there with you?" Parker asked.

"No one," Harry replied.

"No I heard someone, tell me who is there with you or else," Parker ordered.

Harry sighed, Parker had been looking for reasons to fire him since he'd first joined the Victorian Police. "Officer Steven Darcy."

"Dragging a decent officer into your troublesome ways are you?" Parker asked.

"No," Harry replied, then he decided he didn't wanna get Steven in trouble too so he changed his answer. "Yes…"

"Well which is it Thompson?" Parker barked. "Yes or no?"

"Look, mate, this isn't Darcy's fault, leave him out of it," Harry replied.

"This is the last straw, Thompson, you get you and your follower's asses back down to Melbourne now or I'll have both your jobs," and with that the phone call ended.

Harry flicked his phone closed and shoved it back into his pocket. "I'm going to the US."

"We're what?" Steven asked.

"We're not going anywhere…you're staying here to keep your job…I'm flying to the US to find Colonel O'Neill and give him this sheet…it's too important to talk over the phone or send in the mail…I'm not risking it," Harry said.

"I'm coming," Steven replied.

"No, mate I ain't letting you risk your job," Harry said.

"I don't care what you say, I'm just as much a part of this as you are!" Steven replied. "I'm coming."

Harry knew he wasn't going to stop him, so he gave up. "OK…"

Steven smiled.

"I hope you're not looking for a promotion," Harry smiled back.

"I don't care if I lose my job, this is more important," Steven said.
