Chapter 8

Jack awoke with a pounding headache. He groggily opened his eyes to find that he was in the infirmary.

-Daniel!!!

Across the room Daniel cringed and turned to Sam.

-I guess that means he knows I did it.

Sam nodded.

-I think maybe you're right.

They headed over to Jack and were joined by Teal'c and Janet. Jack glared at each of them, furious.

-What did you guys do to me!?!?

Janet smiled.

-Well, I did an MRI, a CAT scan and some blood work.

-And?

-And short of doing exploratory brain surgery I can't find anything wrong with you.

-Maybe because there's not!!!

-Or maybe whatever is wrong with you is not detectable.

-Yeah, well thanks for everything, Doc.

He mumbled the sarcastic remark under his breath and hopped down off the bed. Teal'c blocked his path. Janet sighed.

-Colonel, where do you think you're going?

-Not that it's any of your business, but I'm going to find JQ. That is unless he's in here somewhere strapped to a bed.

Janet shook her head.

-You were the only one we brought in.

-Playing favorites, huh? Well, isn't that just fine and dandy.

He took a step closer to the door. Teal'c didn't move.

-I cannot allow you to leave this place. You are not yourself.

-Well then who am I?

With that he shoved Teal'c out of his way and stormed out the door. Teal'c started to follow, but Sam motioned him back.

-Let him go, Teal'c. We've done all we can. We just have to wait this out.
