Mac takes a deep breath and continues to stare at the paper she was holding.
"Three of our men died, they said it was of collapsing rubble for the press, they didn't want the truth to be told." Mac hands the paper to Daniel who glances at it then flips it over showing it to Teal'c.
"What do those look like to you Teal'c?" Daniel asks, already knowing the answer.
"Staff weapon blasts, Dr. Jackson." Daniel nods as General Hammond takes the picture out of Daniels hands.
"Sorry Mac, continue." Daniel apologizes and looks at her.
"That's the site after the incident, the bodies were already removed but you can still see where they were." Mac stops, almost sobbing but breaths, calming down in the process. "Everyone wanted to leave after that, most of the archeologists picked up their things and the artifacts that were already packed and drove off, like they did everyday, but only a few returned the next day."
"They abandoned their dig?" Daniel asks almost surprised, sounding as if they broke a law or something.
"Yes, most of the archeologists that returned just came to pick up more stuff. Only a couple others, including me started digging again." Daniels reaction to this seemed to worry Mac. She stopped and handed the rest of the pictures to him. As Daniel looked through them he set each one down on the table. They were all profile pictures of artifacts, some of which had Goa'uld writing on them. Mac started to talk again, but her heavy breathing told everyone that she had had enough for now. The memory of the day seemed to sadden her more than they would have expected. General Hammond stands up and motions for the rest of them to go to his office. Sam, Teal'c, Jack and Daniel walk in and stand around looking a little awkward.
"Daniel, go show Mac to a VIP room, she can rest." Daniel nods at the General and walks out the office door. Through the window the four of them watches as Daniel put the pictures away and helped Mac out of the chair and through the door.
"You think she knows what really happened?" Jack asks the second he sat down in the chair and Daniel had disappeared out the briefing room door.
"She sounds like she knows it wasn't an accident and the burn marks defiantly are proof that it wasn't an accident." Sam said and glanced once more out the glass before sitting down in the only other chair left.
"I'm sure she'll tell us more when she can." General Hammond adds as he sits behind his desk in the most comfortable chair in the complex. The room gets silent and Teal'c's eyebrow rises.
"Do you think she saw it O'Neill?" Teal'c asks as he turns his head to see Jack's reaction. Jack starts to say something then stops, puts up his finger and grins.
"Maybe." He answers slowly. Teal'c's expression goes back to normal and he turns his head back to face the General.
"If she saw it, it would certainly explain why she called Daniel instead of someone else." Sam says, making everyone nod in agreement.
"Why?" Jack says as his usual dense self.
"Because she knew Daniel was the only other person that believed the pyramids were landing pads." Sam answers
"Oh yeah." Jack says slowly. "I knew that." The General smiled and tried not to laugh at Jack's usual antics.
"You going to be okay?" Daniel asks Mac as he follows her into the VIP room.
"Yeah." Mac answers, she's holding something back and the look on Daniels face shows that he knows it. She turns around and smiles at Daniel. "I've got a question." He looks in her eyes and nods. "You have some place I can get clean? It's been a while since I fond a hotel that had working water." Daniel laughs and smiles.
"Of course." Daniel puts her briefcase on the bed and looks at Mac. He just smiles and Mac nudges him. "Sorry." He stops and puts his hand on her back, leading her to the showers.
"I'm going back to the briefing room, you think you can find your way back to you room?" Daniel calls through the locker room door.
"Sure." Come the answer, Daniel smiles and then heads for the elevators.
"Incoming wormhole." The technician says over the intercom as the red lights start flashing all over the complex. Daniel starts jogging to the control room and when he gets there he sees Jack and Sam standing there too. As he looks out the glass he watches as the iris is closed and the wormhole is made.
"It's SG-12 sir." The technician says to the General.
"Open the iris." Daniel stands in the control room as General Hammond walks down to the base of the ramp and watches SG-12 return. Jack grabbed Daniel by the arm and started pulling him towards the stairs. He let go and Daniel followed Jack and Sam up to the briefing room.
"What?" Daniel says a little agitated. He sits down in his usual chair and so does Sam. Jack stays standing and walks over to the window and watches SG-12 talk to Hammond.
"We think Mac saw it." Jack says flat out as if Daniel knew about it but didn't tell him.
"Saw what?" Daniel says, very confused. Jack turns around and faces the table as he continues.
"Saw what happened at the dig." Daniel shakes his head.
"If she did she would have told us about it, I'm sure of it." Daniel says, more like reassurance for himself rather then to get Jack to believe him. "She was probably going to tell us everything but she couldn't handle it right then." Jack nods and finally sits down and leans back in his chair. The room is silent and the three of them are sitting in their chairs, looking as if they're in deep thought. Every once in a while each one of them looks through the window at the Stargate.
"Three of our men died, they said it was of collapsing rubble for the press, they didn't want the truth to be told." Mac hands the paper to Daniel who glances at it then flips it over showing it to Teal'c.
