I don't own Sci-fi channel characters, including Daniel. : (
"Maybe you could visit your siblings." Skye suggested.
"And then you'll show us these Goa'ulds." Jack added.
"She shouldn't be walking that far." Daniel commented.
"Offer her your arm." Jack's sarcasm dripped from the words, but that's just what Daniel did.
"Can I help...?" Kaitariel answered the door. "Skylar?" she stepped back. "What? Where?"
"I have some explaining to do, I know. By the way, this is Ryer." Skylar didn't wait for Kaitariel's gasp, to tell about what happened with the Stargate, condensed version. "I know that hiding these past two years was selfish of me, leaving the children with you and Gladius."
"Well…I guess it was a little. But I can understand what you're going through. They weren't a burden to Gladius and I. They actually have been quite a help with our four children. We've grown to love them. Come on, I'll gather them into the living room."
Ryer and Skye waited in the roomy living area for a few minutes before McKenzie, now 15, Katy, 13, Michael, 12, Elizabeth, 10, Marc, 7, and Louisa, 4 ½ entered. Their eyes grew wide when they saw Ryer and Skylar.
The two friends just explained that Ryer had been fighting some enemies far away, and Skylar had been hiding from them for awhile.
Children are quick to forgive, and they didn't try to understand every thing they were, and weren't, being told. They were just happy to have their older sisters back.
"Okay guys, Skylar and I have to go on a hike for awhile, but we'll be back tonight." Ryer explained, but she wished she could stay longer and get re-acquainted with her brothers and sisters again.
"Okay?" Sam asked when Ryer and Skye joined the rest of SG-1 outside the Densli house.
Ryer nodded.
"To the Goa'uld." Jack tried to quicken their pace by beginning to walk to cut off unneeded talking.
Skylar directed them an hour north of her now abandoned shelter.
The trees began to get thicker, and they were approaching the side of a mountain.
When they were within 10 feet of the mountain they could make out a small cave opening.
"I'm guessing that's it." Jack hypothesized.
"Yes. The Goa'uld are dwelling in a series of cave rooms through that opening. They are fairly far back. I believe that they only exit when they are planning a raid."
"Well, what are we waiting for?" Jack began walking towards the cave.
"Stop!" Skylar called.
"What now?"
"They have Goa'uld positioned everywhere. Every false path."
"And you know this…how?" Jack asked impatiently.
"I've been taken captive before." Skye replied, shrugging.
"Game plan… Any ideas? Anyone?" Jack asked.
"A diversion. We sidetrack them and sneak in."
"Volunteers?" Jack requested.
"I think I might be able to do something." Ryer offered.
