AN: Don't worry, be happy!
"Janet?" Sam comes running through the door obviously scared; Janet stops her before she gets to the beds. Jack, Daniel and Teal'c are following her.
"Don't wake her." Sam nods in response and Janet stands up and leads them to her office.
"What's wrong?"
Janet sits down in her chair and watches as Jack and Sam sit in the two other seats.
"She wanted you four." Janet says this almost in a whisper, Jack is sitting closest to her and he's the only one who heard her.
"You heard her too... didn't you?" With that everyone had a good idea what Janet had said.
"Yes..." She looks at Jack as if she was thinking and continues. "That's what she meant by 'Jack knows'." Now it was her turn to get the strange looks. Just than an orderly comes to the door and looks over at the doctor.
"She's awake ma'am." Dr. Fraiser nods to him and he leaves.
"From what I can tell she doesn't talk like we do." Janet starts.
"She thinks it." Sam finished. Jack looks at Sam and could tell she was racking her brain.
"Why didn't she do that before now?"
"She had to learn." The others nod at this in unison.
Jack, Daniel.
The thought came at once; Jack and Daniel look at each other quickly with equally questioning glances.
Scared.
They hear it and jump up as fast as they can and head for the girl. The rest of the group hadn't heard a word but got up and followed the other two.
Stay back!
They had heard that, Jack and Daniel continue on as if they hadn't heard it but Janet, Sam and Teal'c stop in mid step and watch as the two open the curtain and stand next to the bed. Jack grabs the curtain without turning around and pulls it shut again.
"You were right." The four of them are standing around Janet's desk; they had followed Jack after he emerged from behind the curtain.
"So she thinks it." Jack nods to Sam as Janet quickly opens the woman's chart and looks at the tests they had taken.
"Cha'til has been doing it that way all her life... along with her family."
"Cha'til... sir?" Sam asks.
"Yeah... it's her name."
"Young warrior." Teal'c's first words since they entered the office.
"What?!" Jack asks but he sounds more surprised than mad. Teal'c looks at him like he does when he's explaining something.
"Cha'til means young warrior in Goa'uld."
"Oh." Jack sits down on his chair and continues with his story. "She says that's how they communicated." He put his hand on his head and thought some more. "Said something about... a... um... war." Saying it almost like a question.
"With her people?" Sam asks Jack looks over at her like he expected something more.
"She's not sure." Jack pauses for a second. "She said her mother hid her away." Daniel walks into the office and stands next to the desk. "There were lots of them with her..."
"But they left and never came back." Daniel finishes. The other four look back at Daniel, Jack looks mad as if he and taken his thunder.
"Did she stop talking... um... thinking?"
"About ten minutes ago." Daniel answers, he leans back on the doorframe and looks through the door, looking at the now sleeping teenager.
"There something in the tests Doc?" She nods and walks out the door. "Let's go guys." Jack, Sam, Daniel and Teal'c follow her out the door and into the elevator.
"Just at some points during her tests a part of her brain had an energy spike." The five of them are standing around Hammond's office listening to Janet as she describes the tests. "We figured they were nothing, at the time sir." Hammond nods and looks over at Jack.
"Why are you here?" Jack's look seems like he is a child that had just been scolded and than his smile returns.
"She talked to us."
"I thought Dr. Fraiser just said she doesn't talk."
"She doesn't sir." Sam now joins the conversation.
"What?"
"She thinks." Daniel confuses the General just a little more making him think that they had gained up on him for a reason.
"So she 'talked' to you?"
"She 'talked' to us." Jack made imaginary quotes in the air as he said talked to prove his point, making Hammond laugh a little.
"So what happened to her, and what is that mark on her forehead from?"
"We don't know yet." Daniel answered. "She's only told us of her childhood. She seemed to trust us."
"So she hasn't mentioned anything about why she was there? How she got there?"
"No sir." Jack answers, Daniel looks past him and closes his eyes, and Jack soon follows.
"Colonel? Dr. Jackson?" Both of them are now standing contently, eyes closed, looking almost like twin statues. They both take their first step in unison, better than any marching band, and head out the door, almost laughing out loud.
