Hey! Thanks for the reviews and stuff. I don't know how long this story is
going to be eventually so hang in there! Please review...
Welcome home.
General Hammond looked out of his office into the briefing room where SG1 were still seated in silence twenty minutes after Brianna had been taken.
"I haven't been able to get through to the President." He said breaking the silence. "You should all go home and get some rest."
"Sir, I think that..."
"Major, I am ordering you to go home and rest. Dr Fraiser says that you have not fully recovered yet so you will be sleeping in your own bed tonight. You can all do some thinking tomorrow."
"Yes Sir." She said reluctantly.

Entering her house half an hour later, Sam threw the keys on the table in the hall and went to get herself changed into comfy clothing. She changed into some sweats and an old Air Force t-shirt that was faded and baggy. She grabbed a beer from her fridge and settled herself in front of the TV.
The house sure was lonely what with Pete being where ever he was; she was too tired to call Janet and Cassie, or anyone else for that matter so she went to bed.
She thought it would be nice if she could adopt Brianna seeing as she would have to go to work with her everyday, it would give her a place to stay that wasn't grey or the SGC. They could go to the park with Jack and Cassie...but wait, what if they never got her back?
Sam woke up the next morning determined to get Brianna back, using whatever it took.
"Sir, we have to do something!" She complained to Jack.
"I know, the President is out of touch for a week, when he gets back from his meeting in some country or other we'll have a word with him. For now we have to sit tight okay?"
"No, it's not okay!" She cried. "In a week they could have done anything to her, we can't just leave her there!"
"Sam!" Jack grabbed her shoulders. "We aren't abandoning her, there's nothing we can do!"
She slumped onto one of the chairs in her lab. "You're right, I'm sorry Sir."
"I know, it's hard but you can do it. I've just had this conversation with Daniel, it ended up with ole Doc Fraiser giving him a sedative."
Sam smiled. "She saved my life, and Daniel's. Can you blame us?"
"No, I feel the same but we have to wait."

An impatient week later General Hammond was on the phone to the president explaining the situation, SG1 were waiting in the briefing room.
"Yes Mr President, I'll tell them. Thank you." He put the phone down and walked out to confront his premiere team.
"Well?"
"What did he say?"
"He said that the NID had no right to take Brianna without the Air Forces' consent. You can go and retrieve her, but don't kill anyone Jack."
"Would I do such a thing?" The colonel sounded shocked as he made his way out of the room with his team.
"Good luck!"
---------------
SG1 arrived at the NID experimental facility and demanded to know where they were keeping Brianna. As usual they sent Teal'c in first to intimidate the personnel into giving them the information required.
"This way Colonel." One of the scientists said motioning towards a corridor with lots of doors with bars on the windows.
The followed the scientist through one of these doors and along another corridor until they reached two reinforced glass walls with doors in them, both had a guard at entrance.
They were cleared to go through both the doors and continued along the corridor, the grey walls had turned to white and the number of doors had decreased to only a few labs and storage cupboards. Reaching the end of the corridor, the scientist led them into a gallery for an observation room.
"Oh my..." Daniel started.
Brianna was sitting hunched in the corner of the observation room, there was a bed the other side of the room clearly unused, a bowl of food left on the floor untouched and what looked like the remains of a lab coat.
"What did they do to her?" Jack whispered hoarsely.
"I...I'm not sure...I just analyse the blood samples." The doctor said nervously.
"What's happening?" Sam asked as the door to Brianna's cell opened and two bulky security guards escorted another scientist into the room.
"They want one more blood sample before you take her. She is really fascinating."
"She's just a kid." Jack said as he watched the guards try and hold Brianna down.
Brianna saw them coming, she ran towards the bed and hid behind it. The guards pulled the bed away and trapped her in the corner. She ran into one of the guards and knocked him over, leaving the other one to reach out and grab her by the arm.
"That's it!" Jack said as he stormed out of the room and into Brianna's. "Brianna!"
She stopped dead in her tracks and looked at him.
"It's me Jack, remember?" He stood with his arms out for her.
She didn't respond. She just stood there as the scientist took her blood and the rest of SG1 filed into the room. Finally she looked from Jack to Daniel.
"Hey Bri, we've come to take you home." The archaeologist smiled.
The girl looked from SG1 to the guards on the floor then to the open door behind SG1. She took off at a sprint out of the door closely followed by Teal'c.
"Brianna!" He yelled.
She stopped and turned towards, tears running down her face. The tall Jaffa walked silently over to her. They stood face to face not saying a word; finally Brianna gave in and wrapped her arms around his neck, crying into his shoulder.
"Do not cry Brianna, you are with friends." He said picking her up as if she were a small child, her legs wrapped around his waist and arms around his neck.
"She will be fine Major Carter." He told Sam who had rushed up to them and was now stroking her back.
