Chapter 6: A Clue

Jack entered the SGC, still as worried, as he was when Sam disappeared. Not only that, she was pregnant. The anger he had for him had grown day in and day out. He slammed his office door and sat in his chair. He looked at the other photograph of their first wedding anniversary and smiled as he looked at it. He remembered their first wedding anniversary.

Flashback

Jack found Sam sitting at the computer and placed a bouquet of red roses in front of her. "Beautiful flowers for a beautiful woman," he murmured. Sam smiled and stood up with the flowers in her arms.

"They're beautiful, Jack," she said.

They shared a quick kiss before Sam put the roses in a vase. Then she picked a black box up and placed it into his hands. Jack opened the box to see a watch in the box. "Wow! This is very nice," he commented.

"I know; I also know that you needed a new watch," she remarked.

"It's very nice, thanks."

He placed the watch on his wrist and kissed her again. "Happy anniversary, Mrs. O'Neill," he whispered.

"Happy anniversary, Mr. O'Neill," she shot back.

Then they shared another kiss.

End Flashback

Jack smiled sadly before placing the photograph onto his desk and placed his hands over his face while letting out a sigh. He then crossed his arms over his chest in anger. Daniel came into the office to see Jack staring at the picture. "Jack, I think I have some news about Sam," Daniel informed.

"Is it good news or bad news, because I'm not in the mood of hearing bad news," Jack mumbled.

"I understand that, so I'll just get to the point. Jack, I think I know where Pete took Sam."

Jack jumped up from his chair and walked over to Daniel. "Are you positive you know where she is?" He asked.

"Well, you know I could be wrong if I say this. I think so since Pete covered his tracks, he went through the Stargate so that he could have Sam to himself of course, he covered his tracks so well that it's hard to see where he took her," Daniel explained.

"How could he go through the gate without the alarms going off?"

"It's simple, he cut the alarms off that led to the gate room. We saw that the wires to our alarm system were cut. Thankfully I had Cassie there with me who found it."

Cassie nodded to Jack as she stood next to Daniel. "Daniel, did you find a gate address?" Jack asked. Jack felt as if his heart was going to fly out of his chest. Now they finally found clues of where Pete took Sam. Daniel stood quiet for awhile, but Jack grabbed Daniel's shoulders and stared at him. "Daniel, don't you realize that I haven't seen my wife for five months? Every night I have been lying in my bed praying to God that she was all right and so was the baby. Don't you get that my kid might be due any day now? For crying out loud, Daniel, I could be a father already for all I know. Do you have the gate address or not?" Jack demanded. Daniel nodded and took a deep breath.

"From where our clues pointed it to, Pete took Sam to hide in Chulak. There are plenty of places where he could have hidden her during all this time," Daniel replied.

Jack let Daniel go and started to walk over to get ready to leave. "Jack, you're not authorized to go through the gate," Daniel said.

"To hell I don't, dial the coordinates to Chulak. Make sure we find Teal'c, we'll need him," Jack demanded.

Daniel nodded then Cass and him hurried to the gate room.

Jack stood in the gate room all ready to go. He pulled on his hat and watched as Daniel walked over. "You really didn't need to come," Jack pointed out.

"Sam is my friend, Jack, I'm coming with you," Daniel objected.

Jack nodded before they went through the gate.

Once they arrived at Chulak, Jack pulled on his sunglasses and they went off to find where Teal'c was.

They found Teal'c with Ry'ac (AN: Did I spell his son's name right?) and they walked over to them. "General O'Neill, Daniel Jackson, we were not expecting to see you here," Teal'c greeted.

"Well, we've come to ask you a few questions," Jack informed.

"What about General O'Neill?"
"Sam has been kidnapped over five months ago. We finally realized that our alarm systems were cut and that a gate address was found that pointed that the last time the gate was opened that long period of time was here. We were hoping you saw the gate open," Daniel explained.

"I have not seen the gate open that long ago, Daniel Jackson, but if you say that Sam was kidnapped, I believe that I should go with you to help find her," Teal'c suggested.

"That's fine, we need all the help we could get to find her," Jack agreed.

Then they hurried off to find Sam.

Sam was lying where she was kept for the longest time. She placed a hand on her stomach and felt her baby move within her. A smile came across her face and then thought about Jack. She missed him so much that it was almost killing her. She hummed the song that played at her wedding and tears were falling from her eyes. "Jack, please come find me," she whispered.

Jack was walking with Teal'c when his friend suddenly stopped. "What is it?" Daniel asked.

"I have no idea, Teal'c just suddenly stopped," Jack replied.

Teal'c then continued on walking and they continued on with their search. Jack then looked on a leaf to see what look like dry blood on a leaf. Jack knelt down and saw that it was blood. "He came through here. The day that Sam was kidnapped, there was blood on the floor. I now see that there is blood on this leaf. He came through here," Jack informed.

"Jack, for all we know this could be blood from a wounded animal," Daniel pointed out.

"I don't think the animal could leave tracks such as these, Daniel Jackson," Teal'c pointed out.

They saw footprints in the ground and Jack felt anger rise in his chest. "If that bastard harmed her anymore than he did, I'll kill him," Jack snarled.

Then they hurried off towards where the tracks led.

By nightfall, they stopped for the night, even though Jack wanted to keep on going. "Don't worry, Jack, we'll find her," Daniel commented.

"Hopefully Pete has been taking care of Sam the whole time he's had her. Not only that, she's pregnant for crying out loud, so whether or not the kid's been born yet, I hope he's taking care of her. That's the only thing I can do right now is hope," Jack mumbled.

"If Pete still loves Sam the way he's acting, I don't think he'd harm Sam in anyway," Daniel pointed out.

"He did hurt her though, Daniel, he took her from me."

"True."

Daniel then reached up and yanked Jack to the ground. Jack glared at Daniel and then he leaned back with a sigh. "The day I proposed to her, the hard part was getting down on one knee in front of her. I didn't complain that night though, that night was special and it'll forever be special. These damn knees almost ruined the moment," Jack griped. Daniel tried to push back a grin, but failed horribly.

"We better get some sleep if we're going to start our search again in the morning," Daniel yawned.

Then he lied down and fell asleep. Jack looked at the stars and sighed. Then he fell asleep, dreaming about Sam.

Sam felt exhaustion take over her. It has been a long time since she has left her prison. The only time Pete took her out of the prison was to walk her around so the baby could be healthy when he or she was born. She then curled up against the wall again and fell into a deep, deep sleep. All night like the past few nights, she dreamt of Jack with a smile on her face.
