Wow had quite a few reviews for the last chapter, thanks for them. School's
out for Easter now, so I might do a little more on this, BUT have exams in
just over a month so it's probably wiser to be revising for them. Even so,
I'll still try and get some done. Anyway, here's chapter 6!!
***
"Major Carter's symbiote is a Goa'uld".
*** Chapter 6 – Betrayal
This can't be happening. I keep telling my self this can't be happening. Not Sam. Not my Sam. When as the Damn Tok'ra told me everything, I refused to believe it. This kind of thing happened to other SG teams, not ours. Not Sam.
I ran as fast as I could after they told me. I had to find her, I had to, just so I could know it wasn't true. It can't be true.
I found her office, and she was in there, working as usual, and I thought everything was alright. The Tok'ra had got it wrong.
But then she looked at me, and it was there again. That look in her eye, that wasn't her. And I knew what was wrong. It was a Goa'uld.
"Colonel, is there something I can help you with?" She asks, innocently. My body is almost shaking with anger now. I have to keep my cool. She can't know I'm on to her.
"Major, I'm going to need you to come with me please" I try to say normally, but now the anger has turned to fear, and it's threatening to take hold of me.
"Why?" She says. She knows something's wrong. She can tell. She can hear it in my voice. I have no choice. I raise my gun to her. "Because we know you're a greasy ass Goa'uld" I say, my voice still shaking.
Then something happens that I dread. Her eyes flash, and now I know for sure. She's a Goa'uld.
"REALEASE ME NOW TAU'RI, AND I WILL SPARE YOUR LIFE" the snake says. I feel like crying.
"Oh, there's not a chance in hell", I say, and although every part of my heart is resisting, I fire the Zat gun, and she falls to the floor.
***
The Tok'ra are doing their groveling routine now, saying how sorry they are, and explaining that the snake they gave Carter they thought was a Tok'ra.
"Madrigal was on a mission to infiltrate a new Goa'uld system lord called Hera. When she returned a month ago, claiming she was Madrigal, we never questioned that. But yesterday, another Tok'ra operative was found, Madrigal's mate, who told us she was killed on that mission. General, I am so sorry" One of the Tok'ra is explaining. I want to yell at them to shut up. That this is all their fault, and I wish we'd never met them.
I can't stand this anymore. I excuse myself to the General, and walk out of the briefing room. I don't know where I'm going; all I know is that I have to get out of that room. They're all driving me crazy, talking about her as if she's just some problem that they might be able to fix, but if they can't, it's not a big problem. They don't care. Not really.
I knew something was wrong. I knew, and I didn't tell anyone. I could see something was different, but I didn't say anything, because I didn't want to look stupid. Sam has some Goa'uld in her gut, because I didn't want to look stupid.
***
I find myself outside the holding room where's she's being kept. This is too much like last time. The same feeling of helplessness, the same feeling of guilt, because I didn't do anything.
I step in to the room. She's sitting down, but rises to stand when she sees me.
"MY OFFER STILL STANDS. RELEASE ME, AND I MAY SPARE YOUR LIFE" she says.
"I think you're on the wrong side of the bars to be making offers like that. But I'll make you a new deal. Get out of Carter, and I may, MAY, spare you're life".
She laughs at me.
"THIS ONE, IS SPECIAL TO YOU, ISN'T SHE? I CAN FEEL HER THOUGHTS. BEGGING ME TO SPARE YOUR LIFE, BECAUSE SHE KNOWS I WILL KILL YOU ALL" I can feel the anger rising inside me again, but I won't let that snake see it.
Then it does what I knew it would do. Her head drops, and Sam is looking back at me.
"Jack, please, help me" She weeps "I'm scared" But it doesn't work, because I know it's not her. Just like I did last time, I turn, and walk out.
***
I'm sitting in my office again. Feeling like throwing things at the wall again. Feeling helpless, again.
The sense of repetitiveness is beginning to overwhelm me. I just want everything back to how it was. I want her to poke her head round my door, and ask if I'm going to lunch. I want to go in to her office, and find her playing with her doohickeys again, oblivious to how much time has passed.
But most importantly, I want her.
***
The klaxon goes off again, disturbing me from my thoughts. There are people running around everywhere.
Something's wrong. Something's definitely wrong. I get to the gate room, and the gate is just powering down. And then I see, there are people lying everywhere. Technicians, SFs, Soldiers. They're dead. They're all dead. I feel sick as I realize who's done this.
I go to the computers upstairs, and Hammond is standing there gravely, looking out over the gate room, at everything she's done. He turns to me. I've never seen him look this way before.
"Colonel, the Goa'uld escaped. She overpowered the guard in the holding room, I'm not sure how, and then managed to get through the gate. She's locked the address out of the computer, so we don't know where she went" He pauses, and takes a deep breath. "I'm sorry Colonel, but Sam's gone".
