AN: Thank you EVERYONE who reviewed for me!! It really helps me on my way. I'm sorry it took me a while to write this, but it's hard to write about stuff like this if you're constantly in a good mood. Let's just say Saturday night wasn't the best…. Lol. Much love to Josie!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jack sat in his cell. It was basically made of mud. A mud room, how nice he thought. It had a window that he kept looking out of, and a door he kept his back too.
The people kept coming in to ask him questions that he didn't know the answers to. Give him one of Sam's quantum physics or theories or something like that. If all else fails, the answer is magnets.
But he had no idea where to start answering their questions. What happened back on that planet? If they claimed to care about her, why did they leave her there? Why did she look so frightened when she saw them? If she truly cared about them, wouldn't she be excited to see them?
He was sitting there beating himself over his own head asking the same questions. Why in the world did she look so frightened? What happened to her? And for cryin' out loud, who the hell had her for the last five months? He heard the tell tale sound of the door opening again. Who knows, maybe the 8th time they asked him he might knows the answers to the questions that he had no idea what the answers were.
"Look, I've told you a thousand times! I don't know what happened? Now, please, god please, how is Sam?" He sat facing the window, his head in his hands. He became even more aggravated when the new questioner didn't answer him.
"Look!" he yelled this time with conviction as he jumped to his feet and turned around. He soon wished he didn't. She was right there. Standing in front of him. The woman he sought out for five months. Sam was right there. And he was scared still, standing in the same position he jumped up in.
"Sir...." was the first thing he heard from her in five months. Sir, that word he hated, the word he wished that they didn't have between them, was the first word he heard he speak quietly in five months. It had never sounded as beautiful in his life.
"Oh god Sam," was the only thing he could manage out. Within one superhuman step, he had her in his arms. She held on to him as if she were holding on for dear life. They were here. They both began apologizing to each other, and telling the other, 'No, it was my fault, my fault!'
Then they both looked at each other, closely, for the first time. They saw the shared sorrow and pain. She reached up and kissed him. Only this kiss was totally non-sexual. It was the same exact way that she would've kissed Daniel or Teal'c or Jonas after seeing them for the first time in months. It was a kiss to actually feel him, to make sure he was actually there. And he understood.
He didn't want to let go of her. Screw the guys, he had Sam. They'd understand. He needed her.
"Sir, we need to get the rest of SG-1 out of their cells." He sighed in agreement, and squeezed her one last time, not too hard, for last measure. They walked silently out of the mud cell, and Jack followed her when she walked down the hallway to Daniel's cell.
He didn't follow her in though. He knew that Daniel needed to see her too. They all went through hell when she was gone. Daniel assumed Jack's death grip on her, and she gave it right back. She looked at him and kissed him as well, just to make sure.
'Better enjoy it now, Danny boy,' he though to himself. Next was Teal'c. She opened the room, and Teal'c stood at attention, with his hands behind his back.
"MajorCarter..." it came so silently and so solemnly, that it only could have been spoken my Teal'c. She smiled the brightest that they had seen it in a long time.
"God Teal'c I missed you too." They embraced each other for a short time. Teal'c also had a smile on his mouth, which was almost as rare as Jack's smiles now a days. They only had Jonas to go, and then they might get some information.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Sam? Everything ok?" Tundi called out when they entered what appeared to be the control room. Skepticism was dripping from his words.
"Yes, Tundi, everything is fine. Thank you." She gave him a small smile. "Let my properly introduce you all. This is Colonel O'Neill, my CO. This is Dr. Daniel Jackson, Jonas Quinn, and Teal'c. This," she added changing who she was talking to," is Tundi." The all gave a 'hey-how-ya-doing' smile to each other, with the exception of Teal'c, who only raised his eyebrow.
"Sam!" A small boy came running from behind a group of people into Sam arms. By that time, she had bent down to meet the little boy. "Sam! Are you ok?"
"Yeah, Kenbrun, I'm just fine." They could see that a special bond had formed between the two. Maybe they were prisoners together for a while.
"So, Sam, wow." Daniel looked at her for a second, and then realized that he must be acting a little strangely. "So, what happened? Where were you? What, who, and all that other stuff?" Sam started to squirm in her skin. This was obviously not a subject to be discussed, at least not right now.
"We have plenty of time for that later Daniel. Now, Carter, is there anything we can do to help?" Jack noticed her uncomforted and tried to change it. The last thing they wanted to do was scare her into not wanting to talk anytime. Whatever she went through was hard, and talking about that comes in time.
She smiled at them and started rattling off all types of jobs for them to do. Jonas helped with bandaging the wounded. Daniel helped get the camp back into some type of order, and get any type of system going on essentials. Jack and Teal'c helped keep watch. Everyone kept an extra eye on Sam when they could. She appeared to be the leader of the camp.
And everyone knew what they would do when they had a chance to talk to the people. Everyone was plenty interested in SG-1. Sam had been regaling them with legends and stories of their actions. And they, naturally, wanted to hear what had happened to Sam.
It was dark out, and they were told they could break for the night. They met at a table and talked about their findings.
"All I got was the same story from everyone. Sam was held by this Alumni guy or something like that," Jack started.
"Alumbi." Daniel interjected. "She was taken off of the planet immediately after us. She was held prisoner for three months, helped break out, and has been part of a resistance for two months."
"Yeah, that's what I got too almost word for word." Jonas took a drink of water. Well, he hoped that it was water. They were all distracted for a second while they watched a few women shoo a small group of children away from the door. Jack gave a small smile.
"I would like to apologize for my earlier behavior, if I may." They all looked to see Tundi standing at the end of their table. "I was out of line, but I was only trying to protect Sam." Jack took a sip of water and minutely nodded his head.
"I can appreciate that. No hard feelings." Tundi smiled at the acceptance, when Jack had an idea. "Tundi, come, sit, talk, discuss," He motioned to the open seat by him.
"Thank you." Jonas and Daniel picked up immediately on his plan.
"So, Tundi, how long have you known Sam?" Jonas asked first.
"Ah... she was brought to my prison about a day or so after she was taken prisoner."
"Prisoner. That's here, on this planet, that she came to?" Daniel pointed down to the ground, as if it would add emphasis.
"Yes. Two months ago we had the opportunity to escape, so we took it.. Seized it, as Sam would say." He smiled, and hoped the banter would stay friendly.
"Opportunity. What was it?"
"A few of the Jaffa felt that what they were doing was wrong. Sam managed to talk to them, and change them into going against their 'lord'. It wasn't easy, and she did pay for it. But, in the end, they helped us escape. All of us." Teal'c was listening intently.
"These Jaffa denounced their lord? Have they yet been killed?" Teal'c was very anxious.
"They sure are. But they are hiding their true identify. They aren't powerful enough to announce to the world who they are."
"Has MajorCarter not informed you about the rebel Jaffa?"
"She did."
"Why did you not proceed through the Stargate?" That was one question the rest of them hadn't thought of. Why didn't she? She could've come straight home after she got out.
"Well, the area that the Stargate stands in is very dangerous. We were actually looking for enemies when you came through. It wouldn't be safe for someone to try to get through. We think, since you came through, that their positions are weakening, even if they did managed to get us in a different location. Sam also said she didn't have a GDO, whatever that is. I can't remember all of the different letters. She also promised Kenbrun that she wouldn't leave him." Tundi took a sip of water.
"Kenbrun, yeah. He and Sam seem to have a special relationship."
"They do indeed. Kenbrun's mother was killed when they were taken prisoners from their planet. Sam had almost shut herself down, wouldn't talk to anyone. I think she was trying to save herself by not letting anyone in." All of the guys nodded their heads as if they knew exactly what she was going through. "Those two met, and helped each other. Now, I can see the life in their eyes again. They saved each other." The team smiled at each other.
"Sam has a special relationship with a girl on Earth she saved from a different planet," Jonas said.
"Yes, Cassandra. Sam has told me much about her. She has told me much about the SGC."
At that moment, the room exploded with silence when Sam stalked in. She carried a limp body in her arms. Her eyes were devoid of all that was good. Everyone looked at her as she stooped in the center of the room.
"Who was watching the children?" No one answered her. The proverbial pin drop was heard. "I SAID! Who the hell was watching the children?!" She was shouting, but her exterior was calm. The group of women slowly raised their hands.
"I hope you're fucking happy." She laid down the body of Kenbrun. She looked at him one last time as he lay there. She took her hand, and ran it gently down his
face as if she were trying to lull him to sleep. The group of women looked down at the ground, embarrassed to face Sam. Everyone knew what Kenbrun meant to her.
Jack had never seen her look the way she did. And it frightened him. He knew that look. He had that look once before. And he knew that she would have the feelings behind that look as long as she wanted. Something big would have to pull her out. The Stargate program pulled him out, what else was there for her?
She walked over to the wall and pulled a map off. She walked over to the table where they were sitting. Opening the map up, they could see that it was of where they were. She stabbed a knife through the middle. Jack knew that minute that she had crossed over to the dark side, and wasn't coming back any time soon.
"Rest up. I'm done with this shit. We move out tomorrow. "
