. While sitting at table the little girl climbed in O'Neill's lap with a doll in her hand. He was distracted and two thoughts conflicted within him. One was that the Jaffa have their family with them, therefore, they are trust worthy; the other, it was an elaborate setup. The little girl jumped up and ran off and just as quickly ran back to O'Neill tossing him a new toy. As it went off in his hand he realized it was the smallest Jaffa grenade he had ever seen.
CHAPTER 3
Carter came to first. O'Neill had clutched the grenade to himself, shielding her from its full effects. She regained her sight to find them both hog tied in the room where they were so recently wined and dined. The Jaffa were arguing amongst themselves. It seemed one wanted to capture the other man, Daniel, but not the Jaffa, Teal'c. The shortest Jaffa thought they had enough trouble and the third wanted the Tau'ri woman for himself. When he saw this man advancing on Carter, Jack struggled to his knees and called out to him. He made some demands considering his position that elicited a laugh from the Jaffa. When the largest of the Jaffa again pushed for his claim on Sam, Jack spoke to him in Goa'uld. It seems that Teal'c had shared some of the more interesting expressions with O'Neill because this got the Jaffa's attention. They stared at O'Neill. He thought that perhaps his pronunciation was off so he tried it again. The largest of the Jaffa strode over to O'Neill grabbed him by his jacket front and stood him on his feet. Then he struck O'Neill so hard that he lifted him right off his feet and sent him crashing to the floor. As the Jaffa lifted O'Neill up again for a repeat performance the others counseled against damaging a valuable commodity. The man lifted O'Neill by his shirt front again and spoke so close to his face that Jack could feel his fetid breathe and the spray of saliva.
"Try me again; you will live out your miserable existence slaving in a mine while your woman, once I'm through with her, will grace the local brothel."
O'Neill, although he tried, could not keep his mouth shut. He could hear Sam yelling as the fist of the Jaffa slammed into his face. All hell broke loose, Sam was screaming at them, the Jaffa were shouting at one another, and O'Neill was bleeding all over the floor. They placed Sam in a room slamming the door so that it muffled some of the shouting. They agreed to discipline O'Neill but not to do too much harm. They wanted him pliable but yet marketable. They got out the pain stick and proceeded to explain the facts of life, as they saw them, to O'Neill. When he had screamed himself hoarse they threw him into the room with Carter.
