Like i was going to end it there! Come on what do you take me for? Here's the epilogue, hope you enjoy.


SG1 were sitting round the table in the briefing room back at the SGC with General Hammond and Jacob Carter. Having explained the circumstances in which they returned covertly and given the fact that they successfully found the Goa'uld spy, General Hammond had been able to forgo any disciplinary charges.

"Dad attempted to heal Captain Corrigan with the Goa'uld healing hand device." Carter told General Hammond.

"I still don't know why it didn't work." Jacob said. "All the damage was repaired, and the injured tissue was healed, it should have worked." He said shaking his head.

"Sir." An airman said who had just entered the room. "There's a phone call for you."

"Thank you airman." He got up and turned to the others. "Dismissed." He said and headed towards his office.

They began to get up. Daniel looked hesitantly at Jack.

"So is there going to be a funeral or . . .?" he asked.

"Dunno. They wanna' keep her for 'study' don't they?" He said angrily.

"Why?"

"We've never been able to study the effects of the hand device in detail before." Carter said.

"Oh."

They were just about to leave when the General came back into the room.

"They can't find her." Jack stopped and turned round.

"Sir?"

"They've lost Captain Corrigan's body." Hammond said.

"What!" Daniel said shocked. Jack frowned slightly, and continued walking.

Jack walked leisurely along the gravel path in the cemetery. He sat down on the bench he was heading for and looked at the two plaques in front of him. The first on the left said:

In loving memory of:

Graham Corrigan

July5th 1958 - June 7th 1981

Beloved son, brother, and friend,

may he rest in peace

To the right of it was a newly placed shiny brass plaque. Engraved upon it were the words:

Anne Talcott Corrigan

July 17th 1967 - February 18th 2004

In death may she find peace.

Jack continued to stare blankly in front of him, even when he heard her sit down next to him. Eventually he turned to look at her. Her hair was different, now shoulder length and blonde, blowing slightly in the breeze, but her eyes were the same deep green.

"Do you think anyone will miss her?" she asked him.

"Maybe."

"Will you?" She said looking him straight in the eyes. He leant forward and kissed her softly on the lips.

"Yeah, I will." She smiled sweetly at him.

"Good." She sighed and looked away. "I've got to go."

"Me too, I've got to be back at the base in an hour." They both stood up. Smiling she pulled him into a hug.

"Go protect us from the bad guys Jack." She said smiling as she pulled back. He stood and watched her as she walked away.

"Bye Tal." He whispered when she was out of sight, and then walked back down the gravel path, the pebbles crunching softly under his feet.

THE END


So that's the end of the story. Or is it? You never know where Tal could turn up next . . .

Anyway, thanks for the reviews; dottid,Kiilee, zeilfanaat,Blackfire, Malaskor, and those who reviewed the rest too, they were much appreciated! Review again if you enjoyed the story!

You guys actually thought I'd killed her off! Ha! Just incase you wondering how she's alive, as Jacob said he healed all the damage, it just took her a while to wake up that's all, when she did she went walkabout basically, that's my story anyway and I'm sticking with it.

So review this one last time, and make me happy, please! thanks x x x
