Jack didn't like the feeling of waking up in a warm snug, albeit disinfectant smelling bed when he knew that wasn' where he should be. Cracking open an eye his suspicions were confirmed. Hospital. Then he remembered. Car, Carter, him running. Him going splat.

Groaning he rolled his head around the crack his neck and he came face to face with a very pissed jaffa.

Major Carter is gone. Jack looked him up and down.

What Teal'c? No hello, how are you, good to see you well O'Neill?

She disappeared shortly before I arrived here.

By the way T, how was you flight?

She has not been seen by anyone, Emily Shaw has also disappeared.

And Hammond? Doing well?

When the Australian Stargate members saw fit to inform me of the wharehouse where you were injured at, I went back and found these. He held up two small brightly shining silver squares. Jack suddenly became very serious.

Are they hers? He asked softly.

Teal'c replied just as quietly. He placed the dog tags in O'Neill's outstreached hand and them made a sad little tinkling sound. He closed his eyes. Fury and worry battling out inside him.

Was there anything else?

Blood on the floor. I could not determine if it was Major Carter's or not. Jack nodded and moved to get up. Teal'c stood and placed a restraining hand on his shoulder. You have fractured ribs and suffered a loss of consciousness, you will remain here and recuperate while I locate Major Carter. Jack opened his mouth to protest but closed it with a snap. Teal'c was right and he would only slow the alien down. They needed to find Major Carter.

Hurry Teal'c. She's still alive for now. The jaffa who was leaving the room turned and looked at the man.

How can you be certain? He enquired. Jack held up Sam's dog tags. and pointed to the clasp. It was still intact.

This was taken off, not snagged and broken or pulled off in a fight. They wanted us to know they have her. And I'll bet that Emily Shaw is in on it too.

She too may have been captured O'Neill. The Colonel shook his head.

I doubt it, she was very forthcoming with where we come find the goa'uld but useless with anything else, it was because fo her Carter almost got hit by the car, and she disappears at the same time as Carter. She's in on it. Teal'c merely tilted his head and left the room.

The cold water hit Sam full in the face and she woke with a start. Unlike so many other times, she was in a brightly lit room. However like oh so many other times, she was tied up. Quickly scanning the room she surmised the situation. Two goa'uld and....Emily Shaw?

She croaked. The woman looked grim.

Look, she's here, alive and well you can do what you want with her now. Just give me my money so I can go. The woman standing directly in front of Sam turned to face Emily. She pulled an envelope out of her pocket and handed it to the woman, hanging on to it just longer than was necessary. So that Emily had to give it a little tug. The woman swifty left.

The goa'uld turned back to Sam and flashed her eyes.

You and I are going to have some fun Major.
