Chapter 9
"I'll take Hailey, and show her the computer and she can do her thing. Sam you're coming with us. One, I don't want you on Base and Two... we might need you for something" he finished lamely
"Sir, I'd.."
"This one's not up for discussion Carter, you're coming" he cut her off.
"Now the Doc. is going to implement one of the new six month random complete physicals on Hanson,"
"Yes Sir, new policy out today, don't know if it will last though" Janet said with a smile.
"Now, that should keep him here but if not, I want Tlea'c and Danny as back up. Doc can you set up Daniel with some fake injury, something minor which keeps him here, do you think the nurses will cooperate."
"They'll be fine, Sir. How's suspected allergic reaction?"
"Sure, never had that before" Daniel joked.
"Now Tlea'c, you're our last line of defence. If Jonas leaves the infirmary before we get back, stop him, take him to a holding cell and ensure he stays there."
"I would be happy to comply O'Neill"
"That's settled then, we won't start the hacking until Jonas is safely in the infirmary under Doc's care. Do give me a call when he's nice and tied up with needles.
"Sure Sir"
"Ready guys!" There was a murmur of assent from everyone as they headed out to complete their latest mission.
As Sam, Hailey and Jack, headed up in the elevator, Sam tried again to protest.
"Sir, if Jonas needs keeping here, I'm far more use here"
"No you are not!" To the others surprise it was Hailey who had spoken.
"Right again, Lieutenant" Jack quipped "This is a military Base, Carter, hundreds of armed men. Jonas will not get further than a holding cell, if he leaves the infirmary, Tlea'c will see to that. It'd be like him running into a brick wall" Jack stated matter of factly. Then Hailey with her usual confident manner, that had got her in a great deal of trouble over the years and had give one or more CO's, murderous thoughts stated
"Anyway I need your help. I can get us in but if it's encrypted that's your bag, I'll need help."
"Really, didn't think you needed anyone's help" Jack asked mockingly
"Everyone need's some backup Sir" "True lieutenant, very true" He smiled, maybe, just maybe she wasn't too bad.
In the infirmary Janet was in full doctor mode, as two SF escorted Jonas in, after his impromptu summons.
Daniel lay across from Jonas the same room, connected to a few monitoring devices for the look of the thing.
Janet hurried Jonas in, a nurse passing him a gown and Jonas in a very bad mood was left to put it on.
Janet popped to the phone in her office, dialling O'Neill's mobile
"He's here!" she said without any pleasantries.
"Thank you, Doctor, feel free to break out those lovely large needles you like so much"
"Thank you Sir, I might just do that!"
"Have fun Doc" O'Neill said hanging up.
At the small internet café O'Neill was discovering that hacking took far longer and wasn't nearly as exciting as he'd thought it would be. He knew they'd made films about it and wondered how on earth Hollywood seemed to make it exciting when all he'd experienced in three hours was two geeks, talking in a language he didn't understand. Also a reasonable sum on money had passed hands to stop the shop being to nosey or calling the police.
When Sam looked up, he actually heard the bones in her neck crack and wondered how hunched over she would be by 60 after all those years working at a computer. Then he pushed the thought away remembering how old he would be when Sam was 60, and his knees already gave him trouble so if he was alive he probably wouldn't be fairing to well either.
His cell phone dragged him away from any further contemplation and his desire to kill the shop assistant who kept nervously glancing at them over his book. The book was a symbol of a battle won. O'Neill had never known before but the computer on the assistant's desk had the ability to view what any of the other terminals were doing; so Carter had explained to him anyway.
He'd then told the assistant that he couldn't look at what they were doing and something of a argument had ensued. This had been when Carter had stepped in again, she'd taken the assistant to one side, who then had suddenly decided that he didn't need to look at what they were doing and would take up reading, which he'd heard was popular before computers.
Now some people would probably assume that Carter had used her female charms to persuade the man, or simply smiled him into giving away everything he owned, but O'Neill knew Carter probably had smiled at him but she'd also, in the most scientific of language, explained exactly what she would do to him if he did look, and to summarize, it wouldn't have been a pleasant description.
That, however, had been hours ago now he looked at the number on his phone, it was Daniel. "Yea," He answered, already deciding this was not going to be good news.
"We had a bit of a situation, how's it going?"
"Carter's just decrypting something or other, they say it shouldn't be long now. What happened?"
"Well, he left and Tlea'c, ah, detained him,"
"How badly hurt is he?"
"Bloody noise, wounded pride, he'll live, but Hammond wants to know what's going on, right now or he's going to let him out again"
"Give me two minutes Daniel, I'll call you back, I mean it two minutes then I call, OK?" Before Daniel could disagree he hung up.
"Carter I need a word in private for a minute. Hailey if that man" he indicated the assistant "interferes in anyway you under a direct order to shot him"
"Yes Sir" Hailey said, not really looking up, as the assistant burried his head further into the book, that was suddenly the most interesting thing in the world. Carter walked over to O'Neill.
"They had to detain him," He informed her quietly
"Shit" She didn't swear often, so he was a little shocked but it only played across his face for a instant.
"Yea, We should tell Hammond on record, Jonas needs locking away Carter"
"I know. We should be done here shortly but the base won't be secure until we can keep him out of range of the press"
"So you're OK with us telling Hammond?"
"Yes Sir, I knew it was going to have to happen if we found out what the system was"
"Good, will there be much evidence left here"
"Not really Sir. We need to delete it fairly efficiently, due to the network components of the computers here"
"Carter, you're telling me to make the Base secure, we have to destroy the incriminating evidence!"
"Yes Sir, if there was another way?"
"OK, finish up, here I'll get Danny and Tlea'c to bring Hammond up to speed"
"Thanks Sir"
