"Something's happening. Stand back." Jack yelled as the floor glowed.
Everyone crowded back against the wall as Sam, the Lieutenant and the
Captain appeared. "Carter?"
"Sam?" Jacob questioned.
"Here I was working very diligently in my lab, trying to figure out how to fix a problem with the naqquadah reactor when I get called to the briefing room. General Hammond tries to gentle when he breaks it to me that when the Tok'ra arrived to deliver supplies you'd all vanished." Sam said trying to keep the annoyed tone from her voice.
"Carter." Jack stepped towards her.
"Wait sir, I'd like to finish my story. So after hearing this I practically have to blackmail the General into letting me come, convince Janet to sign a medical waiver saying I was fit for active duty. So after all this I came through the Stargate, we used a Tok'ra ship to get here and what do I find?"
"Sam." Jacob stepped towards her.
"No Dad let me finish. I found that six, I have been lead to believe very smart Tok'ra, my father, my CO, a former first Prime and a world class expert in archaeology and linguistics can't read a pictograph and distinguish between a weapon and a trap. Then I have to spend the last hour translating the rest of the text in order to find out how to rescue you."
"Sam getting trapped was an accident. We didn't do it on purpose." Daniel stepped up to Jack's side. Teal'c stood next to Jacob.
"Lieutenant Turner, do you remember the conversation about what I said I'd do when we found them."
"Yes ma'am."
"Good take care of my father and Teal'c."
"Ma'am, I'm sure you want me to do this."
"It's my call Lieutenant."
"Yes ma'am." He stepped forward. At the same time Sam slipped a set of handcuffs over Daniel and Jack's wrists.
"Sam, what do you think you're doing?" Jack demanded.
"Dad, if you ever want to take them anywhere again I'm going because they obviously can't take care of themselves."
"Fine. By the way I gave Jack my permission."
"Okay."
"Carter, can you undo the cuffs?"
"No sir. But I am going to get us out of here. Everyone step inside the circle." They all followed her order. Sam stood in the centre of the circle and ran her foot around until she hit the edge of the central square. She jumped, the square moved down and they all beamed down to the surface.
"I see you translated it correctly Major." Ferretti said.
"It would appear so. I think it's time to go home."
"I concur, but do you want to explain the cuffs?" He asked as they started to walk back to the gate.
"It's easier for them not to get lost if they're in pairs."
"True."
"Ferretti I'm ordering you to undo these cuffs."
"I'm afraid I can't do that sir. General Hammond put Major Carter in charge of the rescue mission, he told me to follow her orders. Besides sir, we don't want you getting lost again." Ferretti winked at Sam.
"Captain, Lieutenant?" Jack said.
"Sorry Colonel, we're to follow Major Carter's orders."
"What is the benefit of being a Colonel if you can't order anyone to do anything?" Jack said to Daniel.
"All the extra paperwork." Sam said over her shoulder.
"Carter can't you..."
"Jack I wouldn't if I were you. Once she makes up her mind." Jacob said.
"Dad I really don't think you want to be an expert me or anyone else for that mater at the moment."
