Sam sat in her room at her house. It was the first time in weeks that she
was off base. She was singing alone to the music that she had playing
loudly from the CD player she'd bought recently. She hadn't heard the phone
ring any of the three times it did, or even the knocks on the door.
"Maybe she went for a walk?" Daniel suggested.
"Indeed Major Carter dose not seem to be home." Teal'c told Jack, who was still knocking.
"I don't know about that, lets just go in and check." He pulled out the key to her house. They each had a key to all of the team member's homes, just in case.
"Sam?" Daniel called as they went in.
"Do you hear that Daniel Jackson?" Teal'c had a puzzled look on his face.
"It's coming from her room." They walked down the hall to and up the steeps to Sam's room. Stopping outside of her door they heard music. Jack knocked on the door but Sam didn't answer. After about a minute they decided to go in.
Sam was on her bed, her eyes closed she was still singing, unaware of the men who stood in the doorway.
"I need you like water, like breath, like rain/I need you like mercy from heavens gate/there's a freedom in your arms that carries me through/I need you" She sang along loudly.
"Major." Jack said his voice loud and deep.
Sam jumped embarrassed. She could feel the blush as it rose from her neck to her cheeks.
"I didn't know you sang." Daniel said amused.
"Is everything OK at the base?" Sam asked jumping up and hitting 'stop' on the CD player.
"Never better!" Jack said with a grin.
"We need you to accompany us on a 'road trip' as Daniel Jackson has called it."
"Then..." Sam said excitedly looking right at Daniel.
"Yep."
"I'll definitely go!"
"Good because if you said 'no' I'd have ordered you to." Jack said in a serious tone.
"Lets go." Sam said walking out the door.
Jack coughed, Sam looked at him funny. "What?"
"You really want to go like that?" He asked looking at her baggy pajama pants and lime green thin strap tank top.
"I should get dressed."
"Hurry, we'll be in the car." Daniel said, he didn't mean to be rude but he was excited.
"Calm down Danny." Jack said as they went down the steeps Daniel was half running.
"Sorry Jack."
It only took a few minutes before Sam was in the passenger seat of Jack's car.
"Lets get going." Jack said as they pulled out of the parking spot.
It was another hour before they passed their destination.
"We should park a few blocks away so no one is specious." Jack said thinking out loud.
"Right." Daniel responded.
They pulled into a drug store parking lot two blocks away from the 'deserted' warehouse.
"What's the game plan?" Sam asked when they got out of the car.
"We should take them from the back. We're not going in to harm anyone. It'd be better if we go in get the girl and get out." Jack said taking command.
"Indeed surprise would be the best way O'Neill." Teal'c said understanding Jack's plan.
"I hope we're not to late." Daniel said getting paranoid.
"We're not." Sam assured him.
"Lets move out." Jack said making sure he had his radio. Sam held her's out, as did Teal'c and Daniel.
"Daniel, do you see anyone?" Jack's voice crackled through Daniel's radio.
"No, not at this door, I'm going in."
"Careful."
Daniel crept up to the side door. He tried the knob. It was locked.
"Jack, it's locked." He whispered into the radio.
"I'll be there in a minute I'll pick it." Sam said hearing the conversation. She crept along the side of the building. Nearing Daniel she saw a window that was opened. "I have a better idea." She whispered into the radio.
"Major?" Jack said right away.
"There is an opened window, I'm going in."
"Take Teal'c." Jack ordered.
"Where are you located Major Carter?"
"Teal'c I'm about half way around the building. There are a few trees and a bush right under the window."
"I'll be there in a minute."
"Sam, don't go in without him." Daniel said his voice had a pleading tone.
"I wont."
With in a few minutes Teal'c and Sam climbed in the window. They landed in a dark room that looked to be a storage area.
"We're in." Sam said as she looked around the room, it was empty.
"Good, we're going to follow." With that Jack and Daniel both started to make their way to the opened window.
Sam and Teal'c opened the door, ready to shoot if they were shot at. The hallway was empty so they headed out. Quietly they checked all of the rooms in the hallway all were empty.
"There appears to be no one in this hallway." Teal'c whispered into the radio.
"We're going up." Sam added to what Teal'c said.
"We're right behind you." Daniel said into his radio as he and Jack climbed through the window. They made there way into the hallway. Teal'c and Sam were gone already. "What floor are you on?"
"The second."
"We're going to the third." Jack said so that the search would go quickly.
"We've got company." Sam whispered into the radio hiding in a doorway as a man walked down the hall. He went into the room next to the one Sam and Teal'c were hiding in. They heard yelling in the room and then the man walked out turning the other way down the hall and up the other staircase. "He went up, maybe you should come down I think I know where she is."
It didn't take long for Daniel and Jack to come down and find them.
"Where?" Daniel said breathlessly.
"There." Teal'c pointed to the next room. Daniel went to the door with them right behind him. He listened but didn't hear any thing. He opened the door and at first they didn't see anything. Once their eyes adjusted to the dim lighting they spotted a dark figure on the floor. Daniel ran to it.
"Is she alright Daniel Jackson?" Daniel was staring at the girl in disbelief. There was blood on her face and in her hair. She looked to be freshly wounded.
"She has a pulse, but it is very weak." Sam said holding her wrist.
"We have to get her out of here."
"She shouldn't be moved."
"So we should leave her here!" Daniel said anger in his voice.
"Just be gentile." Sam said realizing Daniel's point.
"I will." Daniel said picking her up in his arms. She wasn't very heavy. Quickly and carefully he started for the steeps. Sam right behind him Jack and Teal'c covering them.
They heard someone coming and saw a gun shot; luckily it didn't hit any of them. "Daniel take her and GO, now!"
Daniel went half running. He found the door and kicked it. The door flung opened he broke the lock. He never knew he was so strong, of course he was determined to get out and get Bella to safety.
He crossed the street to a small Chinese place, people looked at him in surprise when they noticed the condition of the girl in his arms.
"Please, I need to call an ambulance and the police!" He said to the young Chinese clerk. She pushed the phone towards him.
Sam dove into an empty room for cover. Big mistake. Someone had thrown in a gas bomb in the door. She could feel her eyelids getting heavy and she collapsed into a heap on the floor. Teal'c was surprised to see Jack fall onto the floor he had been attacked from behind. The man tried to knock Teal'c out but did not expect Teal'c to take him instead. A heavy fog filled the room and Teal'c like Sam was knocked out.
"Maybe she went for a walk?" Daniel suggested.
"Indeed Major Carter dose not seem to be home." Teal'c told Jack, who was still knocking.
"I don't know about that, lets just go in and check." He pulled out the key to her house. They each had a key to all of the team member's homes, just in case.
