Bet you didn't expect to see another chapter so soon. ;P

Jenna had to work fast. The Reetou hybrid was now busy with the two SFs and was no longer focused on her. She started work on the 'central core' of its brain the way she would if she were accessing a computer terminal. It was difficult but she was able to get all the information she needed just as the hybrid's attention was coming back to her. She visualized an exit and went through, and then thinking of Jonas she was gone.

She found him with Sam in what was left of her room. He had such a cold look on his face, but as he came closer to her she felt what was going on inside. He was in so much turmoil at the thought that this time he might actually lose her. And the sad thing was, he was probably right. She watched as he breezed by her, presumably headed towards the infirmary where her body was no doubt being taken. As soon as he passed her he paused, as if he sensed her, then quickly rushed out of the room followed by Sam.

Jenna felt her own heart begin to sink as she pondered the thought and fear of having to finally say goodbye. She mentally shook herself out of those thoughts as a single more powerful realization reasserted itself to the forefront. Jonas' life, as well as everyone else in the SGC, was now in danger if the explosives weren't found soon.

She'd come to him because it was so natural to do so, but seeing him the way he was, she knew it was the wrong decision. She couldn't allow her emotions to distract her from her goal and if she entered his mind now, she could conceivably lose herself in his anger and sorrow. If she were to be successful, she needed to go to directly to Jack and trust Sam to take care of Jonas.

She found him rushing into the Command Center with the dogged determination he was known for when he wanted answers and wanted them now. "General, what's this I hear about Jenna being taken into custody?"

Before Jack could receive a response, Jenna rushed towards him and into his mind with enough force to cause him to stumble forward.

"Colonel, are you alright?" the General asked stepping towards his second in command.

"Whoa. What the heck was that?" Jack shook his head to try and clear the slight disorientation that had just over taken him.

"What happened?" Hammond asked.

"It felt like… Hell, I don't know what it felt like. Just weird," he said placing a hand against the wall. "Really weird. What's going on?"

"We have a security breach," Hammond replied deciding to address the incident later and focus on the immediate problem. "I'm getting mixed reports. I have one stating that Jenna Reeyu has been taken into custody and another stating she's been taken into surgery. Although Maj. Carter was able to report that the one in custody is the imposter."

Jack?

"Jenna?" Jack glanced to his left then his right looking for his friend even though her voice didn't sound like it came from any particular point in the room.

"I'm sorry, Jack, I know you two are close…" Hammond looked at Jack and, seeing his confusion, felt sympathy for him.

"Hold on a second, Sir," Jack said and listened intently. He wasn't quite sure how she was doing it, but when it came to Jenna, nothing surprised him.

Jenna was having more difficulty than she thought 'downloading' the necessary information into Jack. He was closed to her, probably a result of having to keep secrets for so many years, but she found she could still communicate to him if she focused her thoughts into his conscious mind.

Jack, can you hear me?

"I hear you," he replied, looking up into the air. "Where are you?"

"Colonel, are you alright," Hammond looked at Jack as if he'd finally lost his mind.

"I'm fine, sir," he replied seeing the General's skeptical look. "Yeah, know how Jenna can do those nifty tricks with her mind? Well, she's talking to me now. I think she's in my head."

I am. Now listen, I don't have much time. The person that's in custody in the holding cell is a Reetou hybrid that we somehow missed. I remember reading, in one of the older files, about a race of aliens that had a foothold on the SGC a while back. Do you remember?

"I do, but what's that have to do with anything?" Jack remembered that incident vividly. The aliens had managed to infiltrate the base and replace practically all the key personnel on the base using sophisticated holographic technology and neural interfaces. They were in trouble indeed if they were rearing their ugly heads.

The hybrid used a variation of that same technology to hide itself from us, and hide the explosives it has planted all over the SGC. You can use the same method that Sam used before to expose them. Have her set it up the way she did before.

"I can do one better," Jack said, turning to the General. "Sir, it seems that the person in custody is a hybrid and it has planted explosives around the base. Jenna can help me. Permission to handle the situation, Sir."

"Do what you have to, Colonel."

"Davis," he said, turning to the Sgt. "Bring up foothold counter measure delta and transmit the signal throughout the base."

"Colonel, what exactly is going on?" Jack turned to Hammond and explained the rest of what Jenna had told him. Before heading to one of the electronics lockers for the necessary tools to diffuse the explosives.

Jack, for this to work you'll have to follow my instructions exactly. It's really quite simple and, if you diffuse one, a signal will transmit to the rest and all of the will be diffused.

"Got it."

"Colonel, the counter measure is ready and awaiting your order."

"Ready, Jenna?"

Yes.

"Hit it, Davis."

The high-pitched whine pierced the air as the intercom system came to life. "Okay, Jenna, point me in the right direction."

The gate room. It's at the base of the transformer. Jenna rode along inside of Jack as he made his way to the gate room. It was always a strange sensation viewing the world this way but somehow it now felt different. She wasn't sure why it was different until her vision began to go out of focus then return. Hurry, Jack, I don't have much time.

"What do you mean you don't have much time?" he asked, concern working its way into his voice as he approached the site of the explosive device.

There's no time to discuss this right now. Focus on the device and then I'll tell you.

"I'm going to hold you to that, Jenna. Now, what do I do first?" Jack knelt down by the explosive and examined its exterior. It wasn't very large, about the size of a C-4 charge. It was dark green and had a dome shaped top with four opposing cables anchored to a square base. It had no other discernable features. "Are you sure you don't need Carter for this?"

You'll do fine. Now listen very carefully. Jenna quickly explained what needed to be done taking Jack through it step by step. Five minutes later the device emitted a final beep and powered down. I told you…you could do it. They're all safe to remove now, just tell General Hammond that it would be safer to have the explosives moved through the gate to one of the dead worlds…just to be safe.

Jack relayed the message. "Good work, Dorothy. Now to the matter of what you were going to tell me."

Goodbye, Jack.

"Goodbye? Jenna? What's wrong?" Jack was more than a little concerned now. He'd assumed that since she was able to come into his mind and communicate with him that the surgery had been going well, that she was going to be all right. Now he wasn't so sure. He got up from where he knelt and hurried out of the Gate room and towards the infirmary and its OR. "Jenna, what's happening?"

I'm dying, Jack. I've pushed my luck as far as it would go…I can't hold on much longer.

"Jenna!?" Jack received no response so he tried using thought in hopes that it would go through stronger. Jenna, hold on!

Tell Jonas I love him.

You can tell him yourself.

I told Emillynn to do it for me…to leave my body if it came down to her own survival…I don't think she's going to do it. Jack felt a sudden change in his mind as Jenna began to drift away and he didn't know what to do about it.
