(Epilogue)

All of the abducted people were returned to the SGC, including the ones that had been on Vengaria for years. The local people who were caring for them did not interfere with their return.

Liam was never located and according to Thor, he was unable to track the ship that had escaped. After being thoroughly checked out by the SGC medical staff, Jack was finally allowed in to see his sister.

Jack parted the curtain surrounding her bed. He looked her over, noticing that she had some huge bruises on her face. What an idiot I am, I should have said I was sorry ages ago.

Brenna looked her brother over with a critical eye. He was much too skinny. "Jack, thanks for the rescue."

Jack walked over and pulled her into a bone crushing hug. "Easy there big fella, I'm still sore!" He sheepishly let her go, and sat next to her bed.

"Sorry, sis. I never thought I would see you again. I am so sorry I didn't keep in touch." He looked at his hands, hiding his emotions.

"Jack, I forgave you a long time ago. So just forget it ok?" Her eyes held compassion. She knew him too well.

"Are you going to be able to tell me what this was all about?" Brenna knew that with the military involved she would be lucky if she learned anything.

Jack looked up at her. "I don't know wren, it's not up to me." Brenna's lips tucked back in a quick smile at his use of her nickname.

"Don't worry, I'm not about to tell anyone about how I got abducted by an alien! They would throw me in the Looney bin." She laughed.

Upon hearing her laughter Jack smiled, as the constriction around his heart eased.

"The doc says that I am fine, even though I feel, strange. She won't tell me how the others are." Brenna frowned.

"Some of them are fine, just like you. The others they don't know. We are trying to find out who they are and what was done to them. Once we can locate their families, we will reunite them with some kind of cover story and make sure that they receive the medical care they need."

"How about Lt. Simms? He helped me out while we were on the ship."

"He's fine; in fact all but three of the base personnel are fine."

She leaned back in her bed. All of a sudden she was extraordinarily tired; it had been a long three weeks.

"I'll let you get some sleep." Jack said as he stood up.

"Now wait just a darn minute. You haven't seen me in seven years and you are going to just leave?"

"Well…" Jack spluttered.

"Sit down here and tell me about your life…"

The END for now…. (To be continued in part 2 of The Missing Series)
