"What are you yelling about Daniel?" Jack asked as he came in to the house. "What happened?"
"We were talking and then she passed out. She's burning up." Daniel said still cradling her.
"She was fine a few minutes ago." Jack stated. "Sam." He put a hand on her face. "Sam, honey wake up." He received no response. "Is Janet at the base?" Jack asked.
"No she's at home with Cassie you invited them over remember." Daniel replied.
"Right." Jack grabbed the phone and hit the speed dial for Janet's house while running a tea towel under the tap. "Put this on her forehead." He instructed Daniel.
"Hello." Cassie answered.
"Cassie, its Jack. Put your Mom it's an emergency."
"Mom. Phone." Cassie yelled. It took another few seconds for Janet to come to the phone.
"Hello Janet speaking."
"Janet, its Jack."
"Hey Jack did you need me to bring something?" Janet asked.
"Janet its Sam. She just passed out on the floor, she's burning up. Daniel is holding a wet cloth to her forehead." Jack said pacing slightly.
"Okay, put her in the car and drive her to the base. I'll meet you there. Keep trying to keep her cool." Janet instructed.
"Okay." Jack replied and hung up. "We've got to take her to the base." He lent down and scooped her up in his arms. "Grab the keys they are on the counter."
"What about the BBQ?"
"I didn't get a chance to light it. You're driving."
"Okay."
"Out the way people." Jack yelled as he carried Sam into the base.
"Sir, I need your ID." The Sgt at the check point stated.
"You know who we are."
"Sir, its protocol."
"I don't give damn about protocol, I'm charge of the base and if you don't let me through I'll hand you over to the first Goa'uld I can find to do what he wants with you." Jack threatened.
"Yes sir." He let them through.
"We need a doctor." Daniel yelled as they entered the infirmary. Sam was still passed out.
"What's going on?" Warner asked.
"She passed out and is burning up." Daniel replied.
"Fraiser is on her way." Jack added as he laid her on the bed."Colonel go and wait outside while we take a look at her." Warner instructed.
"I'm staying." Jack stated.
"Colonel, we need the space. Wait outside we'll let you know as soon as we know anything." Warner stood his ground."Jack let him look at her." Daniel said putting his arm on Jack's before he could protest again. "We'll just be right outside."
"Cass, stay with Jack and Daniel." Janet said as she saw them sat outside the infirmary as she ran in a few minutes later.
"Janet..." Jack managed.
"I'll you know as soon as I know anything Colonel. But I only just got here." Janet replied. "Stay here."
"I'm sure she'll be fine Jack." Cassie tried to reassure him.
"Thanks Cass." Jack said.
Janet came out twenty minutes later.
"What's
the verdict doc?" Jack asked.
"She has a high fever
and she's still not awake. We're running tests but we don't have any
idea what is wrong with her at the moment."
"So it's a waiting game?" Jack questioned.
"For now. What was she doing when she passed out?"
"We were talking." Daniel replied. "She was putting the beer in the refrigerator. She stopped in the middle of a sentence and passed out. I managed to catch her before she hit her head. She was burning up."
"She was fine before that." Jack replied. "She didn't have a fever a couple minutes before when she sent on to light the BBQ. She'd just got back from the store."
"She hasn't been complaining of headaches, sore throats, pain of any kind over the last couple of days?" Janet questioned.
"No. She's been fine a little nervous about Hammond getting back tomorrow but other than that." Jack replied. "She only got back from Minnesota a couple days ago and she wasn't gone forty-eight hours."
"The only time she was off world was when she came to rescue me."
"Oh." Jack said.
"What?" Janet questioned."She went distant on the planet for a couple of minutes scared Myers. I went over and it took a couple of seconds for her to focus. She said she had a flash back from Jollinar. Something about the planet being where the Tok'ra tested their tunnels. It was why the ground was unstable." Jack replied. "But she was fine after that."
"Daniel have you noticed anything?" Janet asked.
"No." He replied.
"Okay, I'm going to go back in. I'll let you know as soon as we've got any news." Janet replied.
"Can I see her?"
"I'll let you know as soon as you can Colonel." Janet assured. "And someone should tell Teal'c the BBQ is cancelled."
