The Report, part 6

Clark and Chavez where taken aback to see the Stargate in operation: the shimmering blue vortex mesmerized them, but they where snapped back to reality when an attractive young woman stepped through.

O'Neill took one look at who it was and started banging his head ageist the wall.

"Is something wrong Colonel?" Clark looked at him.

"The Tok'ra who has just arrived is Anise." Teal'c smiled slightly, "Her host, Freya, has strong feelings for Colonel O'Neill, that he does not reciprocate."

"Sir, is it too late to put in for some leave?" O'Neill turned to Hammond.

"Sorry son, but we all have to make sacrifices for the greater good." The General smiled, "We best go see what she wants."

SG-1 led the way down to the embarkation room, O'Neill trying to hide behind Clark and Chavez, and failing miserably.

Freya smiled when she saw him, "Hello Jack, it has been to long."

Hammond fixed his second in command with an icy stare, forcing him to remain civil, "And it's good to see you to Freya, you too Anise. So, what brings the two of you to our neck of the universe?"

Freya's eye glowed, "I am afraid that I bring bad news: Jacob Carter has been captured by forces led by Osiris. We fear that they will tortured him for the information Selmak holds about our intelligence operations within Anubis' domain."

"Sir, we have to launch a rescue mission!" Carter turned to Hammond,

Hammond nodded, "I understand your concern for your fathers safety, but there is no way we would be able to get clearance for such a mission in time."

Clark raised a hand, "I could."

"Yes I understand the risks. Yes, Ding and I are fully prepared for that. Jack, I've been doing this sort of thing since you where in high school, try and remember that. Shouldn't take more than a day or two. Well it's not like I've never done something like this before. No, it's nothing like Columbia. Well, for one thing, I won't have to watch your back. Ok, I'll put him on." Clark handed the phone over to Hammond, "He wants to talk to you."

O'Neill was in shock, "That's the President you where talking to, the President of the United States, our President, the man I voted for!"

"Him and Mr. C go way back." Ding smiled.

"I've tried calling him Mr. President, but he's very insistent that I call him Jack." Clark shrugged.

Hammond put the phone down, "The mission is a go, one the conditions is that General Clark and Major Chavez go with you."

"With all due respect, this is not the sort of mission they are used to." O'Neill raised a hand, "We are talking about going deep under cover in a hostile environment, surrounded by people that would kill us without a second glance."

Clark looked at the other man, "Tell me, Colonel, did you see the TV reports about the death of Mahmound Daryaei two years ago in Tehran?"

"I saw someone dropped a couple of Laser-Guided Bombs on him." O'Neill nodded.

"Who do you think manned the spotting laser and video camera?" Ding grinned.
