AN: Well here's another chapter! Thanks to everyone who took the time to review! I LOVE em lol!! Hopefully, another chapter can come out soon too.
Sam felt better the next morning after talking to Teal'c. She knew it would be difficult, but hey, she was Sam, she could do anything.
"Morning," she muttered at Daniel, Jack and Teal'c who were all already up and alert, sitting on Jack's bed eating their 'food' when she returned with her own. Teal'c moved over to her bed to give some room to Jack and Daniel.
"Good morning everyone. Just to let you know, there's a bug going around camp. Just be careful who you come into contact with and try to stay warm." SG-1 looked over to see Held standing at the foot of the bunk beds.
"Good morning Held. Thanks for the warning. Has anyone gotten sick yet?" Daniel asked.
"There were a few cases in a different set of barracks, but nothing too bad yet. But it's one of those bugs where they get you down and out for the count. And that can't happen." They were shocked by the seriousness in his stance.
"What would happen if someone gets sick?" Jack asked.
"Well, they are basically out of commission for a few days, but for these miktas, that's a few days too many."
"They'll kill whoever is too sick to work," Sam summed up for him.
"Exactly."
"Wow. Thanks again for the warning," Daniel said, his voice evidence of his shock.
"No problem. See you three at the trains," he said with a wave and went on his way.
"You heard the man. Everyone try to be as, um, un-sick as possible." Jack went back to his eating.
"So, Teal'c. What do you think happened?" Jack, Daniel and Teal'c were all working away from the others today. Maybe Luck was starting to return to them.
"Please specify O'Neill."
"With the UAV."
"Oh yeah! I almost forgot about that! Yeah what do you think happened?" Daniel piped in.
"Normally, General Hammond would send through two or more SG teams to assess the situation if he felt it safe," Teal'c answered.
"Right. But the real question is, do you think he felt it was safe enough for anyone to come through?" Daniel asked.
"Dunno. Hope so!" he grunted out as he threw a sack to its rightful place.
"I guess we'll have to listen for signs." Jack nodded to Daniel. He took a second to look up at the sweltering sun and squinted at it as he rubbed the back of his neck. He couldn't believe how cold it was outside even though the sun was scorching down on them.
They were working for two more hours before they heard the song of freedom. The sounds of distant gunfire were engulfing the entire train station, reverberating off of the trains, echoing as if the battle was happening right in front of them. The workers came running from every direction once again, but more cautious as not to make a fray like last time. They all hated the thought of someone else dying because of their curiosity.
"And the sign is here! This is our chance! Teal'c, you and I are going to try to see if the SG teams out there. Daniel, you nab Carter and get the hell back here!" Without waiting for Daniel or Teal'c to say anything, Jack was off running, confidant his friend was right behind him. They didn't question his methods when it came to situations like these anymore, which made his job ten times easier. Maybe Daniel's goal in life wasn't to give him a life sucking ulcer…
Without weapons, Jack felt a little nervous. It was almost like going into a room to give a speech without clothes on. They ran crouched to the ground through the trains to the edge of the station, and positioned themselves so they could see through the gate to see what was happening. There was one guard right by the gate, not paying attention to his behind. He was looking through the gate, letting his gun sway back and forth in his posture.
Using the hand signals they knew, Jack told Teal'c that they were both going to take him down and take his gun away from him. Jack snuck to the right of the guard, while Teal'c snuck left. When the time was appropriate, Jack jumped up.
"Hey! How are ya doin?" he yelled up, scaring the guard. The guard took a second to react to the surprise, and pointed his rifle at Jack. But before he had a chance to shoot it, Teal'c came from behind him and hit him in the back of the head with his two fists together, swinging from the left to the right. The guard slumped over, and Jack grabbed his gun before it hit the ground.
"Thank you!" he quipped as he and Teal'c ran towards the gate. They both picked a side of the gate, trying to discern what the best way out was.
"O'Neill, should we not return for DanielJackson and MajorCarter?" Teal'c whispered to him. The gunfire was getting closer, and they hopped that meant that the SG teams were also getting closer. The escape would be a tight one, but they've been through worse.
"You just read my mind, T." They both turned on their heels and ran the same way out they came in. After making good time, they decided to run the rest of the way. The guards seemed too preoccupied with the SG teams outside.
"Stop! Don't move!" they heard from behind them. They both stopped, annoyance running over their faces.
"Drop the weapon! Slowly!" Jack obeyed the command and slowly put the rifle on the ground.
"Arms up! Turn around! What the hell do you two think you're doing?" In tangent, they put their arms up and turned around. Teal'c waited for Jack to answer.
"We saw a guard lying on the ground over there and we were going to take his weapon to someone of authority. Good thing you found us!" Jack yelled. He wasn't too sarcastic; he hopped that the guard was stupid enough to believe him.
"Right." Guess not.
"Those two, right there! They're the ones!" the group heard from the distance. The guard they took down together was running with other guards towards them, rubbing the back of his head. There was a small cluster of guards around them now, all pointing their guns.
"Fools! Did you think you could get away with this?" One of the guards took aim at Teal'c, ready to shoot him.
"No! Don't shoot him yet. It might be more fun to hang 'em," one of the guards called out.
'Oh great, I always wanted to get hanged!' Jack thought to himself. Teal'c and he were manhandled all the way to a building then shoved inside. After climbing three flights of stairs, their adrenaline rushes were starting to die off. They entered a room where handcuffs with chains attached were dangling from the ceiling.
"Ready for your hanging today?" one of the guards laughed as he shoved them towards the center of the room. Two chairs were set up beneath two pairs of the handcuffs.
"Get on." They already knew that this was going to be bad, so they obeyed carefully so they didn't make it any worse. After getting on the chairs, the guards put their arms in the handcuffs behind their backs. After a moment, the chairs were ripped away from under their feet and they fell. Trying to grunt away the pain, they adjusted to their new area after a minute.
"I always hated getting hog tied and getting hung from a ceiling," Jack mumbled under his breath.
This was going to be a long day for the both of them.
