"Sooo" Jack began waving his P-90 around. "Care to explain?"

"Well," Jacob began giving Corrigan a side glance "As you may have guessed their mission didn't go quite to plan."

"Nooo?!" Jack said in mock shock.

"Yes." Jacob said, humouring him.

"It was a set up." Grogan said, walking into the ring room, as Jack sat down on a nearby storage container. Lieutenant Stone followed him.

"A what?! How could it be a set up?" Corrigan asked.

"I was working as a spy in Ba'al's ranks, I only heard about this last minute or I would have told you before hand or come sooner."

"Ba'al? That slimy snake head is here?!"

"No Jack, not yet anyway." Jacob said. "Maybe we should get the others up here, so I don't have to explain twice?"

"Right, go ahead." Jack said as Jacob left the room. Corrigan took a seat next to him on the container.

"Not such a boring mission then." She said. He smiled.

"Boring? How could it have been boring? You're here!" he said sarcastically.

"Well yeah, but there's only so much I can do without beer and a deck of cards." She said making him laugh. They looked up, both still smiling as the rings sprung from the floor transporting the rest of SG1 onto the cargo ship.

Carter and Teal'c immediately reached for their weapons, while Daniel just looked a little shocked.

"Jack?" he said incredulously .

"Stand down kids." Jack said lightly as Jacob re-entered the room.

"Dad!" Carter exclaimed happily and went over to hug him.

"Hiya Sammie." He said into her shoulder. As she pulled away she looked around.

"Lieutenant Grogan? Lieutenant Stone?" She looked around at her CO. "Sir?"

"Pull up a crate Carter, Dad was just about to tell us a story."

"General Carter?" Teal'c inquired.

"He's right Teal'c, let me explain." Jacob said as Daniel went and sat next to Corrigan, Teal'c took up position standing just behind Jack, Carter took the storage crate next to him and Grogan and Stone sat down next to her. Jacob took up a position leaning against the wall in front of them.

"Basically this mission was a set up, by Ba'al." He held up a hand as Carter attempted to interrupt. "Let me explain. It appears you have a spy in your midst, a very dangerous spy who is feeding information to none other than the Goa'uld themselves."

"Erm, what!?" Daniel asked.

"I don't know anything else about the spy on Earth, other than the fact that there is one. They seem to have access to mission schedules, reports any files that go through the SGC. When they found out this planet was next on the mission list they decided it would be an excellent chance for a set up. The inhabitants pretend to buy SG4's 'Ba'al's a false God' line and agree to negotiations. When they get the news SG1 is on the way, they proceed to beat the hell out of SG4 as they're no longer needed. Ba'al's little helpers plan to capture you and hand you over so Ba'al can torture you for information. When you don't turn up, he'll probably come here himself to see what went wrong and hand out punishments."

"And how do you know all this?" Carter asked.

"I was working undercover in Ba'al's service. SG4 made a break for it a few hours ago when they were being moved. Two of them were killed, I saw what was going on and gave them a hand. Luckily I had come in a ship and so could make a quick getaway."

"Right." Jack said.

"What do we do now?" Daniel asked.

"Well we find out who the spy is." Jack said matter-of-factly.

"And how do we do that?" Daniel asked. Jack shrugged.

"We can't go back home," Corrigan thought out loud "because we have no idea who the spy is, but if we don't go back we have no way of finding out who it is."

"Not necessarily." Jack said. Corrigan looked at him frowning, he waved a hand around at the room and her eyes lit up with understanding.

"Jack, you're not thinking what I think your thinking." She said slowly.

"Maybe."

"Sir?" Carter inquired, stressing the word sir and glancing at Corrigan.

"Well, it's just, we don't need to go by gate do we? Jacob's got a lovely little ship here just lying around, doing nothing else. . ."

"Jack, are you suggesting we go back to earth by ship, without telling anyone, and find this spy ourselves?" Daniel said in disbelief.

"Basically, yeah."

"It could work." Jacob said.

"Dad, you've got to be kidding." Sam said also in disbelief. He shrugged at her.

"Any better ideas?" Jack asked. "The floors open."

"What about us?" Grogan asked. "Stone's injured." He said indicating his team-mate

"We could send them back through the gate, they could say they managed to escape but SG1 were captured by an unknown force." Corrigan suggested.

"Yeah but then Hammond might send out search teams." Jack countered.

"They could say the planet is completely swimming with Jaffa, mother ships, gliders you know the whole nine yards."

"What if he sends a probe?"

"By that time it probably will be Goa'uld central."

"But-"

"We can't take them with us Jack, they need to get back and seen to by Doctor Fraiser." Jacob said.

"Fine, we'll send you guys home." He said addressing the two young Lieutenants. "Jacob!" He said getting up and gesturing towards him. "To earth!"

"We're really gonna do this then?" Daniel asked doubtfully.

"I believe we are, Daniel Jackson." Teal'c answered.

Hiya! Thanks for reviews people! I was soo happy when i looked at my email, reviews are soooo good, anyways

sheila- i know i totally wonder why jack never seems to 'get the girl' i spose its coz they're always busy with the SGC, but still, you'd think he'd pull occasionally, on earth or off world, i mean it series 3 last time we saw him with anyone (not including Carter)

ChristinaS- yeah well as i said b4 i'm not planning on a Jack/Sam thing, but i dunno i can see how Carter could resent Tal or the other way around, that could be interesting, stay tuned for that . . .

Blackfire- Hope this chapter explains somethings, about why Jacob is there anyway.

Okay so i hope you like this chapter, its a bit longer than the last few so, enjoy . . .. . and review, please!
