Part Twelve:

Teal'c and Jacob stormed inside as soon as Sam had opened the large doors, but there were only two guards inside...hardly much of a challenge. Daniel and Janet brought up the rear as the five of them entered the hanger bay and shut the doors.

"Teal'c, can you handle one of these things on your own?" Sam asked him.

"Indeed, Major Carter." Teal'c replied.

"All right." Sam replied. "Daniel, you're with me. Janet you go with Dad."

Janet and Daniel nodded, as Jacob just looked at Sam curiously. "We're just going to leave?"

Sam looked at her father with anguish in her eyes. "What else can I do, Dad?" she asked. "Teal'c is right. We have to get out of here so General Hammond and the SGC know what's going on."

"I know..." Jacob began.

"It just goes against the grain, I know." Sam said.

Jacob nodded, before heading towards the nearest glider, Janet right behind him. Sam headed for another glider, where Daniel was waiting, and Teal'c had already him. "Does this seem too easy, to you?" Sam asked Daniel as she walked up.

"I was just thinking that." Daniel answered.

It was just at that moment that the hanger bay doors burst open and several Jaffa burst in. Sam and Daniel shared a wry glance, before sprinting into the glider. "You were saying, Sam?" he said.

"Dammit!" Sam cursed as she started up the glider, her hands flying over the controls.

Teal'c already had his glider powered up, and Jacob wasn't far behind. Teal'c opened fire on the Jaffa, the glider's larger weapons doing far more damage than the Jaffa's staff weapons. While Teal'c was keeping the Jaffa busy, Jacob had succeeded in opening the other set of hanger doors. Sam glanced at the seemingly open stars in front of them, the only barrier being a small force field.

Sam couldn't help but feel a small shiver of anticipation as she manoeuvred the glider until it was facing directly out. "Let's get out of here!" she said into her radio.

Not waiting for the other's replies, Sam zoomed out of the hanger bay and into open space...Teal'c and her father only seconds behind her. They were away.

Lara groaned, and then winced as she felt new pains throbbing about her body. "Not again!" she mumbled.

Opening her eyes, Lara found herself slumped on the floor of a cage. She sat up slowly, the world spinning around her for a minute. "My head!" she groaned again.

Carefully, Lara tried to reach up a hand to check her head for wounds, only to find they were chained behind her back. Frowned, Lara remembered the last thing she could...getting hit but a blast from a zat gun. Dammit! That meant she had bee captured...again. This wasn't good.

"It's worse than a hangover, isn't it?" a familiar voice said.

Lara looked up to see Jack sitting again the back wall of another cage, opposite her. "I wouldn't know," she replied. "I don't drink that much."

"Really?" Jack asked. He looked a lot better than Lara, but still a little battered and bruised.

"You can't shoot straight when you're drunk."

"Trust you to find the aggressive reason." Jack commented.

Lara raised an eyebrow, almost sceptically. "And you, of course, can shoot straight when you're drunk?" she asked.

"I wouldn't know." Jack said. "I don't usually have to shoot people when I'm drunk."

Lara smiled. "You're missing out then."

"Oh, I'm sure."

The pair into silence, and Lara stretched slightly, wriggling into a more comfortable position. "What's with your arms?" Jack asked.

"They're chained behind my back." Lara replied. "It seems Kali doesn't want to take any chances with me."

Jack looked slightly surprised. "She didn't chain me."

Lara gave a wicked grin. "Well, you didn't manage to slip out of chains the last time either."

Jack just shook his head. "Are you sure you don't wanna come work with us?" he asked. "Think of the travel."

Lara grinned. "I'll think about it."

The pair would have continued their conversation and good natured bantering, but it was at that moment that Kali walked in, flanked by four Jaffa. Two of the Jaffa broke away and aimed their weapons at Jack and Lara.

"Did you think it would be so easy to escape, Bastet?" Kali asked. "Did you think it would be so easy to betray me?"

"I betray you no more than you betrayed me." Lara said, her voice going back to being the inhuman voice of the Goa'uld.

"Is this human so important to you?"

"No." Lara said coldly. "But the information he knows is."

Even though Lara knew that she had to keep up the pretence of being a Goa'uld so Kali would not suspect who was really behind this, Lara never the less felt bad at reducing Jack to a mere object. Because he was so much more than that, especially to her.

"Are you willing to barter your freedom for it?" Kali asked.

Lara looked at Kali, and saw the cold, cruel expression over the beautiful features. "You will not give me my freedom, Kali. I will not play your games by pretending so."

Kali looked faintly surprised that Lara had judged her so rightly. "You always were clever, Bastet." She said. "But not even your cleverness can get you out of this."

"Maybe not." Lara said. "But I will never give in."

Lara sat impassively under Kali's gaze, meaning what she had just said. This might not be a situation she could get herself out of, but at least she would never give in. She would keep trying to get out of there until they killed her.

Kali turned and walked away, before turning back to Lara. "I just thought you might want to know that your servants have fled from the ship." She said. "But I wouldn't worry. They will soon be dead. My Jaffa will make sure of that."

Lara struggled to keep her face impassive, cold even, when inside she was grinning. Sam, Daniel, Janet, Jacob and Teal'c had gotten away! Maybe everything was not lost after all... But until the came back with reinforcements, Lara would just have to make sure that she and Jack caused as much trouble as possible.
