Okay then now have nothing to do at uni so I can work on these for a while. I got a fair amount of feedback for this story so I'll try the next chapter. Sorry about the spelling but I don't have a beta and also can not spell check in the program I use.

General Hammond had been having a fairly relaxing week, there had been no emergencies of any sort at the SGC and the most serious injury had been Major Tarlow of SG7 who had twisted his ankle while walking back to the gate and had been suspended from active duty for 3 weeks to make sure that it was fully healed. The appearance of Dr Jackson and Colonel O'Neill at his door did not bode well for his week to continue being quiet as the pair had a reputation of ruining any quiet time that could be had.
"Gentlemen what can I do for you?" Hammond asked cautiously
"Daniel is worried about something General." Jack said deliberately not giving any more information than that.
"Dr Jackson ?"
"I have a contact in Egypt who lets me know if anything interesting is found in the area around the original loctaion of the Stargate. I recieved a letter yesterday from him letting em know that a Dr Charlotte Hill has been excavating there and has sent some strange metals back to be analysed. I'm concerened that she might find something there which could not only jepordise the SGC but also put her in danger especially if the NID find out about it." Daniel said.
"What do you propose then son?" Hammond asked guessing that Daniel was going to want to go to Egypt himself to see what was being found. He was certain that if Daniel went then Jack would insist on going with him as the last time Daniel went to Egypt one of his friends had ended up being revealed as Osirus, things had been strained between the pair for some time afterwards and it taken a long time for things to be patched up between them. Things had not been completely back to normal when Daniel had died from radiation poison however in the year and a bit that had followed Jack had mellowed somewhat and when Daniel had been suddenly returnned to them he had made every effort to restore the friendship to the state it had once existed at and it seemed to have worked.
"I would like to go to Egypt myself and see what Dr Hill has uncovered and if she has uncovered items that are of use to the SGC I mean to bring them back with me. If you have no problems with me going to Egypt then I would advise the Egyptian government to close the site down. That should get rid of any of the Egyptians working on the site and any archaeologists from oout of the country who are working on the site though I should expect this Dr Hill to refuse to go and abandon her site. I may have to bring her back here with me general." Daniel said
"I don't see why you can't go Dr Jackson. Providing Colonel O'Neill and Major Ferretti go with you. I would send the rest of SG1 but as you know they are off world at the moment. The pair of them should be sufficient back up though I will make sure I have SG3 and 4 on standby to back you up should they be needed." General Hammond said
"Jack ? I know you don't find these digs very interesting so you don't have to go." Daniel said
"It was an order Daniel. Also I know what trouble you'll get into if I'm not there to keep an eye on you so it's best that you have me to look after you." Jack said with a grin.
"If the pair of you hurry up and pack. Jack check out zats from the armoury. I'll send a car to pick you up at 2100 and take you to the airbase. Ferretti will meet you there." Hammond said. As the other two men left the room Hammond picked up the red phone to speak to the president and arrange for the site to be closed.
"Are you sure that you want to come with me Jack ? I'm sure that Ferretti and I can manage fine on our own." Daniel said not wanting his friend to feel obliged to come with him to Egypt and a place that he would undoubtedly find very boring.
"I'm sure Danny. You know me, if I didn't want to go then I would have said so to Hammond." Jack told his friend
"I supose." Daniel said dubiously. His years in foster care had not done much for his belief in people telling him the truth.
"Don't supose Danny. Get your department organised and then get home and prepare for this trip. Don't worry about anything, Hammond will have it all sorted." Jack said and with half a wave wandered off towards the armoury to requesition some zats.

Egypt 3 hours later ...
"What do you mean I have to stop work?" the black haired woman demanded
"On orders of the government you have to cease work and return to Cairo till it is safe for the site to be opened once more."
"I'll be damned if I'm going to leave here now. I have a premit to work here for another 3 months. It was hard enough for me to get permission without having to return to the city when I have only been here for half my time."
"I am sorry Dr Hill. You may stay here if you so wish but all the egyptians you have working for you as well as the other foreign archaeologists must return to the city or their homes."
"They may go I'm staying here though. I'll work out the end of the contract then return to Cairo. Why am I having to close this though?" Charlotte demanded
"I do not know all I know is that presure is being put on my government by yours to close the site." Charlottes friend said. He had known the american woman for years and classed himself as her friend.
"Damn it." the woman swore again and stormed into her tent. She would let the others sort themselves out then she would carry on from where she had left of earlier that day before the order had come from her own government to stop working on the site. What was it that they were worried about. Surely it wasn't the metal she'd been sending back to be tested, what were they trying to hide?
...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
There you go part 2. Sorry it took a while honestly it's not my fault.
Next chapter Charlotte and Daniel meet. Jack clashes with the archaeologist and clues begin to emerge about what is under the sand.
However if you don't review then that won't happen so pleaseee review.
