The Klaxons blared in the gate-room and control room as the Stargate activated.
"Close the iris." Hammond ordered.
"Yes sir." Davies replied. There was a few seconds pause. "We're getting a signal sir, it's SG4 sir."
"Open the iris." Hammond said and made his way to the gate-room.
The gate de-activated as he entered to see just two members of SG4 walking down the ramp.
"Lieutenant Grogan, Captain Stone? What happened? Where are the rest of your team?" Hammond asked.
"They're dead sir." Grogan said dejectedly. "We were captured by Ba'al but managed to escape." Grogan replied, as medics rushed into the room and began seeing to Stone and fussing over Grogan.
"SG1?" Hammond asked. Grogan looked down at the floor.
"I don't know sir." He said heavily.
"So, where are we going to go?" Jack asked the room. Jacob was in the drivers seat and Teal'c was sitting in the other, Daniel leaning on the middle part, Jack was sitting on the floor behind Jacob and opposite Daniel leaning against the wall.
"Earth." Daniel said.
"I meant specifically Daniel."
"I was thinking about that." Corrigan said, walking in from the other room and sliding down to the floor next to where Daniel was standing.
"You were thinking? Wow, I mean that's-"
"Don't start on me just cause your bored." She cut him off. "No I was just thinking about someone who has a nice piece of land in the middle of nowhere, with a nice little cabin and a lake with no fish in it . . ."
"Hey there are fish in that lake!" Jack said angrily.
"You want to go to the Colonel's cabin?" Carter said as she walked into the room.
"I know, I gotta be the first person haven't I?" Corrigan said. "Ow!" she exclaimed as Jack kicked her.
"It is . . . secluded." Teal'c said.
"Jack's cabin it is." Daniel said.
"Ah ah ah. NOW you want to go to my cabin, well I don't think I want you guys there anymore." Jack said sounding perturbed. Corrigan rolled her eyes.
"Come on Jack, we can get pie." She said in a tone you'd use on a little child.
"Pie?"
"Yep."
"Well I guess it'd be okay."
"That's settled then. Minnesota here we come."
"Okay, you guys stay here for now." Jack said as he hid his gun under his jacket. "Me and Tal will get you on the radio if we need you."
"Jack, you sure you don't want us to go with you?" Daniel asked.
"What's with the new found enthusiasm with my cabin?" Jack asked as he hit the button that opened to doors. Tal went in front of him and looked up at the overcast sky.
"There's no place like home." She muttered stepping out.
"Stay put!" he ordered. "See you soon." He said as he stepped out after Tal and the doors closed behind them.
After he exited the ship Jack turned round, just to make sure it was invisible and followed Tal through the trees. They made their way along the path which led to the clearing where his lake and cabin were situated. Jack let out a contented sigh when he saw it, this place couldn't help but make him feel relaxed. Tal turned round and smiled at him as they walked up the steps towards the door.
"Don't get any ideas Jack, there's no time for fishing." She said taking a lock pick out of her pocket.
"Damn." He said leaning against the wall next to the door waiting for her to finish. Tal grinned as the door opened with a satisfying click. Jack followed her in and shut the door behind them.
"Sir?" Carter said into her radio. She gave the others a worried look. Teal'c spoke into his radio.
"Colonel O'Neill please respond." He said.
"Should we go and see what's going on?" Daniel asked. Jacob cleared his throat uncomfortably.
"Try again, they might have put their radio's down." He said diplomatically. They others gave in curious looks, but Carter continued to try to contact them via the radio
However if they had even opened to door of the cargo ship they may have discovered why Jack and Corrigan hadn't responded, the sheer volume of the voices emanating from the cabin had been enough to scare away all the fish in the . . . well if there were any fish in the lake to start with there definitely weren't now.
"That's it, we've been trying to get hold of them for five minutes and they haven't responded," Carter said, "Teal'c, Daniel you're with me, Dad stay here, we'll radio you when we find them." She said heading towards the exit.
"Sam I really don't think you-" Jacob began.
"We're going." She said. Leaving behind most of their weapons and only taking their berretta's they exited the cargo ship.
As they approached the cabin they heard voices, loud voices coming from within. Relaxing slightly as the risk of danger seemed less, Carter tried the door, and finding it open entered, Daniel followed her, but Teal'c remained by the door.
"There is no way in hell we are gonna call them!" Jack yelled at Tal.
Carter and Daniel located Jack and Corrigan by there voices as being in one of the rooms on the left of the lounge, which they were now in.
"Why the hell not! We could do with some help!" Tal shouted back.
Daniel gave Carter a nervous look which she returned, they stayed rooted to the spot they were occupying in the lounge.
"It's just this kind of irresponsible crap that gets you in trouble all the time Tal!"
"ME! You hypocrite! This isn't irresponsible Jack, they're black op.'s trained professional hit men, it's not like they're gonna tell anyone!"
"NO!" he screamed. The silence that followed was almost deafening. After a few minutes they struggled to hear Jack say; "I'm not letting my team get mixed up in that crap, it's bad enough we are."
The door then opened and Jack stormed out. He stopped when he saw them looking slightly shocked, then ignoring them he walked past them into the kitchen and left the cabin slamming the back door behind him.
