Part 6

The group made it out of the castle without meeting up with anyone, until they got to the door.

"I sense that one of you has a symbiote in you. I know that it is not the dark haired woman and I don't think it is anyone of the men so," she walked straight up to Sam, "the presence is in you."

The rest of SG-1 and SG-3 sprang into action, assuming defense positions just incase something was to happen. They all forgot about Mac and just left her standing where she was. She also wanted to help protect this woman who she could see becoming a friend. She looked on the ground spying a weird looking weapon. She picked it up and turned around when she heard Sam start talking.

"I do not have a goa'uld in me, so leave me alone." Right after Sam was done speaking, Khunm raised a hand device and everyone heard it powering up.

Mac had no clue what that thing was but she knew that it could not be good. She looked at the weapon in her hand, found the trigger, aimed it at Khunm and fired 3 times. After the third time the person just disappeared into thin air. Mac just stared, the gun falling from her hands as they shook. Harm ran over to her cursing himself for forgetting that she was there and caught her before she sank to the ground. With Mac in his arms, he lowered them to a sitting position on the ground.

Right as Mac shot the first shot from the Zat, Sam fell to the ground. "SAM"

Daniel screamed as she fell. He went running to her and caught her right before she hit the ground.

Jack looked at the two couples for a minute then said "Adam,"

"Yes sir"

"Please head back to the stargate send SG 6 and 9 back to the SGC and have them get a medical team to the gate room and we will be back as soon as we can."

"Ok, Sir. Let's move out SG-3" With that SG-3 headed back to the stargate.

Jack then went over to see how Harm and Mac were sending Teal'C to check on Sam. "So, Harm, how is she?"

"I think she is in shock. Actually she is in shock, we need to get her back to the SGC."

"Ok, do you think you can carry her, or do you need Teal'C?"

"I should be ok."

"Ok."

Harm stood up and put Mac into a fireman's carry. He then headed toward the rest of SG-1. By the time he got to the group Sam was awake and on her feet, but leaning heavily on Daniel.

"Alright team, let's go." SG-1 made their way back to the gate.

~Meanwhile~

General Hammond was sitting in his office doing paperwork when the alarm for the stargate incoming went off. He got up and hurried down to the control room to see who it was. He hoped that it was SG 1,3,6 and 9.

"Receiving SG-6 code sir"

"Open the iris, then." Hammond said then started downstairs to meet the group. To his dismay, only SG 6 and 9 came through. "Where is SG 1 and 3?"

"They are coming sir. But they are also requesting a medical team. I don't know details, but they want 2 gurneys."

"Ok. Go get cleaned up and head to medical. I'll inform you when the briefing is after I talk to SG 1 and 3."

SG 6 and 9 headed out and the general went over to the phone and called Janet. He informed her on the situation and said she would be down. Now all he could do was wait for his other teams to come back, hopefully in one piece.

It turned out that Hammond did not have to wait all that long to wonder about the teams. About 5 minutes after Janet arrived in the gate room with the medical team in standby, the gated started spinning. The general looked up to the control room and waited to see who it was.

"It's SG-1 code sir, opening the iris." With that the iris opened and revealing the wormhole.

SG-3 stepped through the hole, and the general sent them to clean up. A minute later SG-1 came through. The site that greeted him was not one he really was happy to see. Harm put Mac on a gurney and Daniel helped Sam up, even though she kept saying she was fine.

"Sam, I want to check you out, please."

"Sam, honey please let Janet look you over." Daniel stated while looking straight into her eyes.

"Ok, fine." Janet just looked at the couple amazed with the fact that even though both of them are so stubborn, they can get the other to do what they say.

"Ok, everyone let's go." With that the gurneys were whisked away.

The general looked at this flagship team and asked, "What happened?"

Jack spoke up saying, "With all so respect, sir. Can the explanation wait a bit? I know that we all want to get cleaned up and want to check on Carter and I think it would be best if Harm was with Mac when she woke up."

"That is probably the best idea Jack. Ok, you guys go and we will debrief tomorrow at 0900" With that the general headed back to office and the rest of SG-1 headed to get cleaned up.
