Sorry updates are taking so long. We are doing well after the hurricane. Clean up has only just begun. My internet provider is having trouble so my internet access is sporadic. Please bear with me through this inconvenience.
Chapter 7
"Please send for Jarod right away." Jack said to his secretary on his way into his office
"Jacob have a seat. I know the facility you are talking about it is called the center. It won't be easy getting him out of there. Do you know his cover identity?" Jack asked.
"No that was kept from us to ensure his safety. I don't even know if he looks the same he may have taken a new host to protect his identity. If you know of this facility maybe you know him." Selmak said.
"Hold on I'm setting up some tapes now." He like Jarod had tapes of experiments the center did on him as a child. They often showed Raines, Sydney and a few other center staff.
"Here look at this one and see if you recognize anyone." Jack said.
It didn't take long for Selmak to point out Sydney. Well that made since he was the one who got Jack out of there safely and saw to it that Jarod was taken care of. Well when he could. At that moment Jarod walked through the door.
"Jarod you're not going to believe this but Sydney is a Tok'ra and is in trouble. Selmak wants our help to get him out of the center safely. Do you have any ideas?" Jack asked.
"Well let's start by sending him an email to let him know we are coming to help. Can I use your computer General?" Jarod asked. He addressed Jack formally in front of the Tok'ra out of respect.
"Go ahead." Jack said.
Jarod carefully typed out the email. He know there was always a chance of it being intercepted. Email read: Got your message. Will send what you have requested. Expect it to arrive within two days. He signed it a friend. The terminal it was sent from was secure and untraceable so remaining anonymous was not a problem.
"I told him to expect help within two days. So now all we have to do is create a plan." Jarod said.
"Why don't we give the center what they want?" Jack asked.
"Walk right into the lion's den brilliant. Count me in. We can have Teal'c, Sam, and Selmak back us up from the outside. Okay let's make a plan of action and head out." Jarod said.
The Center
'You've got mail' Sydney's computer announced. Sydney read the email and told Nicholas help was on it's was. How they got access to a computer here on Earth he had no idea.
Miss. Parker came striding into the room.
"Heard from Jarod lately?" She asked as usual.
"No. Why don't you give up? He's not coming back." Sydney said.
At that moment Miss Parker's phone rang something it has not done in over two months since Jarod had disappeared.
"Surprise, are you happy to hear from me Miss Parker?" Jarod asked.
"Where the hell are you?" Miss Parker asked.
"Now, now Miss Parker don't get your blood pressure up. I am willing to come back but only on my terms." Jarod said.
"You have no right to demand terms." Miss Parker yelled.
"I think I do. You want my abilities I want to keep my freedom. If I come back I want to be able to come and go as I please. I want to have friends. I want to be treated as a human being. I want my family left alone. Only if you agree to these terms will I come back. One more thing I'm bringing Jack back with me and I want these same conditions for him too. Thank about it I will call back in one hour." Jarod said that and hung up.
"What did he say Miss Parker?" Sydney asked.
"I need to go talk to my father he wants to come back but only on his terms. He wants to have a life not be shut up in here all the time." This made her think of how she had wanted out when she was with Tommy. The center was no place to try and have a life. Well, at least not much of one anyways.
"You know your father will not agree to that." Sydney said.
"He may not have much of a choice." Parker said.
The SGC
"Will they take the bait?" Selmak asked.
"Oh they'll take the bait. They won't meet his terms but they'll say they will just to get him there. Now we won't be able to take in any communication devices so everything needs to be timed just right. We'll give you the signal when we have Sydney. You create a diversion so we can get him out. Keep an eye out if it looks like we are in trouble send in the Calvary." Jack said.
"No problem Jack. You're back will be covered." Jacob said.
"General you and Selmak should go and brief SG-1, I'll call Miss Parker back and get the ball rolling." Jarod said.
"You're right Jarod. We'll get the team ready to leave right away." Jack said and left the room with Selmak/Jacob.
Jarod called Miss Parker
"So do we have a deal?" Jarod asked.
"Daddy agrees. When shall we expect you?" Parker asked.
"Two days. I need to tie up a few things here first." Jarod said.
"See you then." Parker said.
"Did he believe you?" Sydney asked Miss Parker.
"He said he'll be here in two days so I think so." Parker said.
"I don't know he has always managed to one up until now. Why is he stopping now?" Sydney asked. Was it coincidence that Jarod was coming here the same time his rescue party was scheduled to show up.
Here is Miss Parker at the request of a reader. Hope you enjoy this chapter.
