Sam looked around and recognised she was in a Tel'tak. Keeping her eyes and
gun trailed on the door she hid behind a crate.
The doors slowly started to open; Sam was ready to shoot whoever came through.
"Sam?" The person questioned.
"Dad?" She came out from behind the crate. "What the hell are you doing here?"
"Making sure you got the box." He replied.
"You wanted the box?" She asked, he nodded. "Why couldn't you get it yourself?"
"Because we've already stolen it once, the Tok'ra can't be seen to be stealing it back again."
"Why did you beam me up here?" She inquired. "Jack's not going to take it well."
"Jack is stealing the box as we speak; he's doing what he's trained for."
"And you think I wouldn't?" She questioned.
"Sam that's not the point right now. He'll retrieve the box and then come after you. He'll always come after you."
"I know. By why just me and how?"
"I couldn't let you near the box." Jacob replied.
"Why?"
"It has a strange affect on women, makes them pliable to suggestion, that's how they managed to take it from Anise before we found out." He explained.
"When you asked General Hammond to get the SGC to steal it back for you, which I take it you did, why didn't you request that an all male team came after it, SG-3 for example."
"Because I needed the best and the best is SG-1."
"Then why didn't you just request that I didn't come on this mission?" She questioned.
"Because it would have raised too many questions that I didn't need asked."
"Forgetting that for a minute, how did you just ring me up?"
"I waited until you'd dropped back enough. I used the trackers Thor put in you and Jack."
"How exactly do you know about those? Even Jack doesn't know about it. It was supposed to be just Thor, General Hammond and me in case the NID ever tried anything. The General told you." She said as it dawned on her.
"I needed to get to you without anyone knowing."
"And staging an alien abduction is the best way of doing that?" She questioned.
"At the time yes."
"Well right now I want to go back to my team, my family. I'll stay away from the box I've been warned."
"You can't. SG-1 is coming with me."
"Where?" She asked.
"To get rid of the box. I can't tell you anymore, Sam trust me."
"If they have the box, get them up here before they start taking the planet apart."
"Go in the other room, I want you as far away from the box as possible until we get it secured in our version of a lead lined box. When I yell get us out of orbit."
"Fine."

"Daniel check..." Jack didn't get to finish his sentence before they were beamed aboard the Tel'tak. "What the hell?"
"Hey Jack. Daniel give me the box." Daniel held it out to him. Jacob placed it in a large box inside the crate and sealed it. Then put the lid back on the crate. "Sam, get us out of here."
"On it." Sam called.
"Sam's here?" Jack demanded.
"I needed SG-1 to retrieve the box, but Sam can't go near it because it affects women in an unusual manner. I had to get you here I knew you'd do your job and then you'd rescue her. I've known exactly where you were since you came through the gate."
"And how did you do that?" Jack asked.
"It's easy since you're tagged."
"Tagged?" Jack questioned confused.
"Dad." Sam scolded. "Can I come in yet?"
"Sure. It's contained for now."
"Good, I took us out of orbit but I don't know where we're going so I just set us on minimum speed away from the planet."
"I'll go and set the co-ordinates." Jacob turned to leave.
"Hang on a minute Jacob, tagged?" Jack questioned.
"Dad, that information was supposed to be highly-classified. The General shouldn't have even told you."
"But he did. Now I have to go and program those co-ordinates." He left.
"Major?" Jack prompted.
"I honestly didn't know anything about this until I got up here sir and I have no idea where we're going but it appears General Hammond knows what's going on."
"Typical Tok'ra." Jack muttered. "But I want to know about the tagging."
"I guess you were going to find out eventually. When Thor took us on our honeymoon, he put a micro-tag into us in case the NID did abduct either of us and so it would make it easier for him to keep a lock on us. It doesn't show up in x-rays or CT scans, so no-one needed to know."
"But you did?" Daniel questioned.
"Along with the General. I don't trust the NID as far as I can throw them."
"You should have told me." Jack said.
"It was classified. Not even the President knew. Right now I'd like to find out what the hell is going on." She paused. "If that's okay with you sir?"
"Go ahead. I'm just going to sit down over here and ponder ways to kill your Dad."
"Have fun." She winked at him.
