Chapter 25
Major's Carter and Kawalsky sit with Colonel O'Neill holding Andrea's planner. Analyzing the facts was hard with out her or Jonas to give more information. Who would do this? Why would they do this? Those were the questions they had asked, even going so far as to ask Cassandra them too.
"Who knows that she's alive?" Carter asks looking through the weeks previous to their trip to the Prometheus.
"She hasn't talked to her parents..." Daniel says entering the room holding a coffee cup and a large pot of caffeinated coffee.
"Why not?' Sam says looking at the coffee
"I'm not really sure. There is a list of colleagues she's contacted in there." Daniel points to the calendar.
"I'll call Senator Fletcher and see what he can tell me." Jack volunteers; he didn't mind Fletcher to much.
"I'm waiting for her uncle to return my call." Daniel says.
"I have the ballistics' report if we find the gun, we'll find our assassin." Kawalsky says to the group.
"Who said anything about an assassin?" The Daniel, O'Neill and Sam say together.
"I did." Andrea says as she is wheeled into the room. Thanking the nurse, as she comes closer to the group.
"When did she release you?" Daniel says stands up, thanks the nurse, and pushes Andrea over to the table.
"She didn't, I have to go back, I insisted." Andrea says looking at the group.
"She let you out, that in itself is impressive." Jack says looking at her.
"He's right; it's not like Dr. Fraiser to let patients go like that." Sam says looking at Andrea.
Andrea shrugs, "I want to help." Andrea takes Daniel's hand when he offers it to her.
"What can you tell us about when you first saw the car?" Kawalsky asks.
Andrea closes her eyes and tries to focus. "My first day back, it followed us from the house to the pizza place. When I went to the jewelry store that sells uncut gems, it was again in the parking lot while I was there."
"Did the store have cameras?" Kawalsky asks her looking weary.
"Yes, they did in and outside the store." Andrea answers, recalling the store.
"Then we should get the tapes it may have the driver's picture." Sam says looking at the day planner then passing it back to Andrea.
"Nobody on here would kill me, most are on hiatus anyway. You Might want to check the guards station to see what they know." Andrea shivers and squeezes Daniel's hand.
Daniel watches his wife. "Are you ok?" Daniel asks.
"No, I need a shower, and I'd like some real clothes." Andrea says looking embarrassed.
"I know how you feel. I think we all do." Jack says laughing.
"Very funny Jack, you look like you're ready to fall asleep again." Daniel says observes., Andrea looks at O'Neill. "She said I could come for a minute and then she gave me a sedative. It's not fair."
"I'm sure Jonas feels worse." Sam says in Jonas's defense.
"He does, if the car had just turned a little more he wouldn't be so bad off. He was looking forward to Turkey." Andrea stifles a yawn.
"Don't fight it. It's my fault you we're hurt Andi, I should have gotten someone to follow you when said something." Jack says.
"It wasn't anybody's fault sir, except whoever ordered and carried out those orders." Samantha Carter says.
"She's right Jack." Kawalsky says affirming Major Carter's words.
Dr. Fraiser enters the room smiling. When she reaches Andrea she frowns at her. "You need to come back and rest now."
Andrea frowns, looking at O'Neill for possible rescue. "Sorry, I can't save you this time either." O'Neill says noticing the look.
"You'll be free in the morning that should be enough, for now you need to rest. Daniel she's not a very good conscious patient." Janet takes hold of the wheel chair and pulling it away from the table.
"I'll see you later ok, try to rest okay." Daniel says kisses her on the cheek.
"Rest, ha, that's what you think. I dream a dream that is my living nightmare." Andrea says.
"What are you saying Andrea?" Sam says as if the comment was directed toward her.
"She's quoting herself." Daniel says looking at her oddly.
Andrea looks at Sam. "I see my own death, or at least an existence with out me when I dream, it's eerie and horrifying."
"Since when?" Daniel asks. Sam looks confused.
"A while, Janet can explain it to you Sam. I'm tired now." Andrea says.
"I'll come back and explain. For now Andrea needs to get her rest." Janet wheels Andrea out of the room and back to the Infirmary.
Asleep in the Infirmary, Andrea begins to dream again but this time it's different then ever before. Andrea is standing in a mega temple, so large in size Giants would use it. Bathed in golden light, Andrea stands before a fire made of golden embers. A woman floats before her in a blue almost pure light. Speaking the woman comforts Andrea. "Listen child of my children, you are of the Tuatha De Danann. No othersmust know that you are. My friends watch over you. There are those who wish to destroy you. Your kin will protect you when they can, when they cannot it will be up to those who are still in your world. You are important for the future. Soon a great blessing will come." The Woman disappears and Andrea is left in the place to wander and dream peacefully. Brigit stands over her granddaughter watching her sleep peacefully hoping that her message was clear.
Sam sits at table listening to Dr. Fraiser talk. "It seems that she has had a blending of Dreams and visions. She's never had that before from what she told me."
"That shouldn't happen. From what I understand the two are separate completely." Sam says looking confused.
"I understand that they are meant for a waking state. Remember what is seen is key." Fraiser says looking at Andrea's notes.
"What if the dreams are being controlled by an outside source completely like Daniel did with Teal'c?" Sam suggests looking at the pages from Andrea's journals.
"From what we know it's totally possible. I'm tempted to try lucid dreaming." Janet says review the page before her then, re reading the page again. She looks at Sam hands the page to her, and then takes the page Sam had and does the same. "What about an alternate reality?"
"If you take her out of the equation, how do we get Daniel back at the SGC?" Sam says reading one of the visions.
"I don't know but it's a working theory." Janet says looking at Sam and then going through the pages again.
Jack O'Neill sits in his office on the phone. Senator Fletcher was being told of his call. He told the woman it was important.
The gruff voice of the man he had met not long ago spoke, "Colonel O'Neill, I was just about to call you."
"Senator, why would you do that?" Jack had to ask, did the Senator know about the accident.
"My son needs to speak with you, but why did you call?" Fletcher really seemed to be on the ball.
"Someone tried to kill Andrea." O'Neill said voice strong in tone.
"Is she alright?" Fletcher's concern carried a pang of pain.
"She has a concussion; however Jonas Quinn sustained far more injuries." Jack always hated giving out bad new.
"Has she asked to see me?" Fletcher asks the question?
"No. I was wondering if you knew who would want to do that."
After a short silence Fletcher says, "My son says he can help you."
Alex Fletcher's voice was a younger softer tone then that of his fathers. "Colonel O'Neill, the SGC is bugged."
"What? How do you know where are the bugs?" O'Neill was shocked at the man's insinuations.
"I work in the state department, we have someone inside the NID that, gave me the information. The NID over heard Andi's comment about them, someone ordered a hit on her. We're trying to find out whom, but it's difficult. My father is already making accusations. It wouldn't surprise me if the next time they kidnap her instead. The changes in your agency aren't liked by everyone, but the technology that she could give us is great."
O'Neill liked this man instantly, he got straight to business. "You're working on it? What are we suppose to do here." Jack asked the man.
"Protect her and continue about your business. Keep investigating I'll be there in two days with my contact from the pentagon, I think you know Major Paul Davis."
"Yes, I know him. It's nice to know someone is looking in on big brother." Jack said to the man on the phone.
"Someone has to don't they." Alex says to the Colonel he thinks he's going to like.
"Thanks for the information I'll tell the General. How do you know their not bugging my phone?" O'Neill asks.
The young voice speaks again. "I'm transmitting a signal that would interfere with it. I'll explain more when I can, for now I have to go. My father said he would call you in the morning."
"Thanks for the info, next time tell when know." O'Neill says as he hangs up the phone. Grabbing his pen and a piece of paper he heads for General Hammonds office.
Hammond decided to stay all night. Sitting at his desk, he read the report from Colonel Ronson. Hearing the knock at his door he beckoned, "Come In." Seeing the Colonel he placed the report down. "What can I do for you?"
"I was thinking a little time off would be nice." Jack says while writing on a paper 'We're being bugged'.
The General's face flares with Anger. "You know how hard that is Colonel. It's impossible for any of us to get away." Hold back his anger he writes 'How did you find out'.
"Yes, but I was thinking that SG-1 could go to Turkey with SG-18 when they go since Jonas can't go now." O'Neill quickly writes 'Alexander Fletcher from the state depot.'
"Not possible I need you here." The General then writes 'Who's bugging'.
"Who is going with them, Carter said she'd like to go on this one too." O'Neill says looking sincere. On the paper he puts in big letters NID.
"I'll think about it. Any news on Jonas's condition?" The general asks on paper 'More insiders.'
"He's doing much better. Kawalsky was grilling him the last time I saw him." O'Neill answers the question positively.
"Good we'll talk about this some more later." The General says quickly as O'Neill gets up to leave.
"Thanks general, I really could use some rest and relaxation I'm sure Sam and Teal'c feel the same way."
"Like I said, I'll consider it." The General says to the Colonel before he leaves. When O'Neill shut the door, Hammond began drafting a memo to send out to his trusted staff.
Jonas remember the crash well. Every time he closed his eyes he would see it over and over. In his medicated state, he began to dream it too.
