N/A: Okay guys here we go again. I'm sooo sorry about the long update. My muse had me working on another story, a novel this time. So my attentions have been on those works. Also I have something to say. Those guys who have been with this story since chapter one, knows very well that I don't have a beta. So that person who will remain namesless who started to rant about my grammer chill out please! Yesh! First of all again I don't have a beta...if you want the job email me. If not just deal with it. Take my story or click over to another author. I'm sorry to be so rash, but my southern loud mouth roots will not let that comment pass. Anyway I say thank you, to thoseguys who have been with me since the begininng. If you like this story, please stay tune to my novel that's coming up: Darkness and Light. It features Daniel and Faith from BTVS. So without further ado here is Chapter Five of Twin Expectations.
Sam was going through her mind, trying to calm herself now, yet instead of feeling threaten by this younger man, she felt well...like she could trust him. Something deep inside of her told her that even though he pretended to be Lt. Malone, he was really no threat to her or her children. She couldn't explain the feeling, but it was only instinct. Something deeply embedded her.
Jack, however didn't feel that way. So he immediately stood up in his chair and headed outside the room to alert the SF's on duty. Before he could even reach the door, Sam stopped him.
" Don't do that just yet, I want to hear his explanation, sir. "
" Carter, this man could be an operative for the Trust and you want me to wait for the SF's can put him into custody... I Don't think so!"
" Sir, why would he blow his cover for? Obviously he has more to lose by revealing who he really is, sir."
"Please General, let me explain so I can clarify my reasons for being here." Asked Jarod cautiously .
Jack looked to his former teammates for a little help. They all their nodded their heads in agreement with Carter, and the Pretender. I guess I'm not going to get any help from the Peanut Gallery.
" Okay, Okay. You have ten minutes. And this explanation better be good, pretender."
" Oh, believe me it is, General."
" Well get on with it."
" Okay. Well the I better start from the beginning. Thirty years an organization called the Centre, kidnapped me when I was a young child to further their own sinister interests. Five years ago I escaped with two other pretenders ."
"They are more people like you?" .
" Yes, were other pretenders. one was my younger brother Kyle, who is now deceased. And the other was a man, well just say he went a little insane and started to murder people to get to me. He is also dead."
"Shit!"
" So where was I? Oh, only I was able to really escape the Centre. Who still hunting me as we speak so they bring back, which they will do over my dead body. And since I escaped I want to do two things..."
" Which is?"
" To help people, to somehow atone for my part in the Centre's plans. and two to find my family."
" Okay, so how does this fit in your plans of sorts?"
" Well about 15 yrs ago I did a simulation, that three years ago was done by what I suspect was members of the trust. "
" How can you be so certain that it was the trust ."
" A year ago, when I was working as U.S. Marshall, I came across the cover-up file of incident when 25 people under the witness protection program was systematically killed one by one. What I think what happen is that the Trust sold the locations of the people under the program and they were killed by each organization that wanted them dead.
The government, of course thought this looked badly for their justice department and covered it up. The reason I think the trust did this is because, I know for the fact that the Centre was responsible. The trust and the Centre are connected. About five years ago, sometime after start of the Stargate program, sanctions of the Centre broke off. Those people from the Centre control the people funding it. So you see, where the Centre is the Trust is not far behind. Also I was sent a email yesterday from a contact inside the Centre."
He took his computer and pulled out a Laptop. He typed a couple of commands and popped out a window. The window showed a late twenties-early thirties woman, with red hair. She was tied to a chair, evidently bleeding.
" For the love god!" rasped Daniel
" I hacked into the Centre's database and came up with a positive match. Her name is Andrea Darens. She was a high level NSA agent. About a year ago she vanished. "
"Andrea Darens...A.D.! " She couldn't be the A.D. from the letter could she? Asked Jack.
" I'm not sure, but it could be connected. She was captured three days ago. "
"That was around the time when I found the twins." Add Sam.
" It might not be related, but again, she might be our only lead in stopping the trust. "
There was silence again. So silent all you could hear was the air conditioning shafts whirling.
"Omigod, this bigger than we feared. " replied a somewhat terrified Sam.
" Yes, and I will help you bring them down, so will you let me finish this?"
Jack took a deep breath. He needed to calm himself down. And he needed to talk to the president, Hammond, and the Joint Chiefs, before he could make a decision.
" I have to make a couple phone calls, and then I will let you know. The SF's will put you into custody intill I have my orders.
Jack stood from his chair and gave the SF's their orders and watched as they escorted Jarod to one of the isolation rooms.
"Okay guys, Dismissed."
At least they didn't put me in the stockade. Jarod was put in 8x12 room with a bunk bed that looked a little dangerous to sleep on. He was waiting for the word from the president and the Joint Chiefs. Either way, he was going to help them with or without their approval. Lives were at state again, he was not going to screw this one up. Suddenly he heard some activity outside his room, and the door opened to discover a grim looking Colonel Carter.
" So am I in?"
She gave him a half smile. The answers were her blue eyes.
" Yeah, you're in."
The Plan was simple Teal'c, Carter, and Jarod were to go in, and Daniel would be their lookouts. Jack, didn't want Carter to go near any one from the Centre, but he relented at Carter's impolite nagging. They were crawling in the venation shafts. Sam felt like she was rat going through a large maze. She felt somewhat comfortable with Jarod leading the way to Andrea's holding cell.
They had finally stopped and opened the screen to shaft and dropped down. Earlier, they had incorporated a video loop. So they would have ten minutes to get in and out. She also took the leap, and The woman looked up in surprise and in terror. "Pl...Please don't hurt me!" Jarod looked down on her with compassion. She was so damn scared. "We're not going to hurt you, Andrea."
"How do you know my name?"
" Lucky guess?
She gave him a weak smile, as he unchained her. They were about to make an exit when the door flew open and revealed a beautiful dark haired woman, about an inch sorter than Sam, waving a 9 mm Smith and Wesson at the quartet. Behind her where two very large, unrelenting looking security guards.
" Miss Parker." Said Jarod half amused at her actions.
"Well, well, well, look who decided to come home." She bitterly
"This was never my home."
" Whatever, you're coming with me, and so are you little friends too."
" I don't think so!" said Sam as she did a round house kick to Miss Parker's arm and the gun flew out of her hand.
Miss Parker recovered quickly, but she still was not match for the Colonel.
Sam quickly did a left hook and a right jab combo, and Miss Parker was laided out on the floor unconscious.
The security started to aim and shot at the foursome. Daniel took out his zat and fired at one of the security guards and the stun guard fell to ground with a loud thump on the concrete floor.
The second security guard tried to grab Andrea, being that she was the weakest one of the group at that point.
Jarod charged the guard and knocked him down, trying to grab for the gun. After a brief shuffle a loud sound that sounded like a fire cracker went off.
A gun shot.
Teal'c turn to stare at Jarod, face like it was made out of stone.
Time in that cell seemed to slow down.
Jarod slowly stumbled into a sitting position,
Then he very quickly got up. It would be only a couple minutes before the rest of the security team would be there.
" QUICKLY UP THE VENTILATION SHAFT!"
Jarod was first, followed by Andrea, Sam , and then Teal'c at the end. When they got to the exit shaft that led to outside, it was locked down with bars. " Here Jarod, through this and everyone back up as far as you possibly can." She said as she handed a canister to Jarod.
"What's this?"
"Plan B. Take the pin out of the canister and throw it!"
The air began to get so very thick. It was so hard to breathe.
" Do it now, Jarod! "
He threw the canister , back up as far as he could and saw the bars dissolved into nothing. God, I gotta learn how she thought that one up!
Jarod kicked what was left of the Bars and jumped down into the manicured lawn. Sam, Andrea, and Teal'c were not to far behind him. "What now?" asked Daniel
"Duck!" He grabbed Sam and threw her to the floor, as the bullets came at him
Teal'c, Sam and Jarod took out their standard issued Zats and started to fire at will. They both hit two of the Henchmen. Sam hit the other two by herself. The group ran to the meeting spot with bullets flying at them, which seemed to be targeting them at all directions . Daniel was waiting for them in the van. They all dove into the back and Daniel drove the van like he was in the Indy 500. He didn't slow down intill he reached the were they were supposed to switch cars. They hurried wiped the Van clean.
When they were on the military plane home to Colorado Springs, when Sam broke the ice. "Damn that was a close call!"
" You telling me." Replied Daniel
" It was nice of you guys to spring me, but who are you?" asked a timid Andrea.
Jarod chuckled at her. " Well, Andrea...that's a very, very , long story."
