A/N: just a reminder... we left off with Jack and Samnear the forest and Jack has just realised that Marin is behind everything.


Amends -Chapter 5-

Marin's eyes flashed to the intruder and the other two guards also turned to look at him.

As soon as Sam heard Jack's voice, she moved into action. She sent a punch into Number 3's face, who fell to the ground. At the same time, Jack withdrew a zat from his robe and took out Number 1. But Marin was already a step ahead of them. He stepped forward and pulled a weapon from his belt, grabbing Sam, and pressing it to her head.

"Drop the weapon, or I will kill her." Marin spoke to Jack, as more men walked out of the forest, pointing weapons at Jack.

Sighing in defeat, Jack threw the zat to the ground. One of the guards retrieved the weapon, and another helped Robe Number 3 up, who looked to be developing a nice bruise from Carter's fist. Marin pushed Sam over towards Jack and he gave a sly grin. "Well, this is a surprise."

"So, you're the one who's leading the uprising against Caineth. A bit of a stab in the back don't you think?" Jack replied. He was still a little shocked to find Marin here, but he also knew that he really shouldn't be that surprised.

Sam looked curiously to Jack standing next to her. She still had no idea what was going on. Marin laughed, drawing her attention back to him.

"You know more than I expected Colonel."

"Yes… I pride myself on my knowledge." Jack quipped.

"Where are your other two friends?" Marin demanded.

Jack just shrugged and smiled innocently.

Sam frowned in confusion. "Wait, I thought Jonas had been captured too."

Marin shook his head with a conniving grin still in place. "Your capture was an accident, Major."

Sam looked at Jack, still confused. He saw her expression and tried explaining it to her, "They keep their women underground, and I'm guessing they grabbed you 'cause they thought you were breaking the rules, or something."

Sam scowled at the news. She really hated those sexist cultures. At least this time she wasn't being traded for money. At least she hoped not. A cold breeze ripped past her and she shivered. It was beginning to get dark out, and without her jacket she was getting cold. "Why are we here?" She asked.

"Well, thanks to your Colonel here; instead of having one human, I now have two of you to turn over to Ba'al."

Jack coughed and almost choked, "What?!"

"Lord Ba'al's first prime will be here within moments."

"Why the hell are you helping Ba'al?" Jack yelled, "You're not a Goa'uld are you?" His face twisted in disgust at the thought.

"No, I have not been blessed by such a thing." Marin replied, causing Jack to roll his eyes. "Ba'al has promised me that when the time comes, I will rule this planet under his name."

"And you believe him? He's a Goa'uld! He'll kill you! Along with everybody else on this planet!"

"Lord Ba'al is a god! He would do no such thing unless it is what I truly deserve."

"You're an idiot Marin," Jack pointed an accusing finger at him. "And you're going to get everybody killed because of it!"

Before Marin could reply, the familiar sound of a Cargo Ship could be heard and they all looked as one landed across the field from them. Sam and Jack could do nothing but watch as several Jaffa exited the ship and walked towards them. Ba'al's first prime looked at them, and then to Marin.

"I was able to get the Colonel at the last moment." Marin supplied for him.

"Lord Ba'al will be most pleased." The first prime spoke, "Jaffa!" Two Jaffa raised their staff weapons and herded Jack and Sam to the Cargo Ship.

"You'll regret this Marin!" Jack yelled over his shoulder and received a shove in his back for his efforts as they were pushed into the ship.

Jonas had spent a little longer in the cave, re-checking his translations, and looking the cave once over for anything he might have missed. When the sun had started to sink below the tree line of the forest in the distance, Teal'c had insisted that they leave as it was getting too dark.

Jonas had then argued the fact that he could use his flashlight, but Teal'c had set him with a stern look (which was really just is usual tilt of the head and the raising of one eyebrow) and the alien followed him out of the cave instantly.

They were walking back to the city in companionable silence when the Jaffa suddenly stopped in front of Jonas.

"Teal'c? Everything ok?"

Teal'c only raised his hand in response to silence him. He looked slowly to the sky in concentration.

Jonas, being fairly new to the group, had no idea what his teammate was doing. If any other member of SG-1 had been present, they would have instantly known that Teal'c, and his amazing senses, had sensed danger. Jonas was another story entirely. As he stood behind Teal'c in silence, he wasn't sure if he had heard something or simply needed a break. For all he knew, this could be some kind of Jaffa ritual he was unfamiliar with.

After a minute of silence, Jonas cleared his throat, "Uh Teal'c? What's going on?"

At that moment Jonas heard it too; a low rumble of an engine that suddenly turned into a dull roar as a ship flew over their heads. Jonas looked at it in amazement. "That was a Goa'uld Cargo Ship, wasn't it?" He asked excitedly.

Teal'c supplied him with his usual "Indeed," as they set off at a jog after it. Jonas couldn't help but grin. He was extremely new to SG-1. In fact, this was only his third mission, and this was his first mission that anything eventful had really happened. He was still basically testing his toes in the water; and getting used to all of it. He'd read all about the Goa'uld in Dr. Jackson's journals, but he'd never actually seen any yet, which was why he was so excited to see a Cargo Ship.

Teal'c suddenly slowed down as they reached the base of a small hill, breaking Jonas from his thoughts.

Slowly, they ascended the hill in silence. When they got near the top, Teal'c crouched, and laid down, to peak over the top. Jonas copied his movements and they laid side by side on the edge of he hill, looking towards the edge of the forest. They were both surprised by what they saw.

Sam and Jack stood, surrounded by men with weapons pointed at them, as a few Jaffa exited off a Cargo Ship which sat a few hundred from them in the clearing.

"Marin," Teal'c indicated to the man who spoke to the lead Jaffa. "And that is Ba'al's first prime."

Jonas squinted to see the man Teal'c had indicated as Marin. "Marin?" Jonas whispered. Although they were far enough away not to be heard, he still whispered. "He's the one who's leading the rebellion." Jonas realized. "But why is he talking with Ba'al's first prime? Do you think he's a Goa'uld?"

"I did not sense a presence within him. It is more likely that he has a deal with Ba'al." Teal'c replied.

They heard Jack's voice drift across the field as he shouted, "You'll regret this Marin!"

"We have to do something!" Jonas said slightly louder as their teammates were pushed towards the Cargo Ship.

"That would be most unwise Jonas Quinn." Teal'c had been contemplating the situation in his head. He'd thought about taking action, but with Marin, his seven men, and all the Jaffa, that wasn't much of an option. Plus he had the Kelownan with him who had no field experience. He reasoned that the only option was to remain where they are, then return to General Hammond as soon as possible.

They watched in silence as the ship took off. Teal'c stood and reached out his hand to help his companion to his feet. Jonas looked slightly shocked and defeated.

"What do we do know?" Jonas asked as he accepted Teal'c's arm and stood up.

"We will return to retrieve our belongings and the one called Alexis, then return to Earth."

Jonas fell into step beside Teal'c as they headed towards the city. "That's it? We are going to get them back right? I mean, you're… we're SG-1! You do this all the time, right?" He felt useless. He hadn't been able to do anything to help his new team. The first mission where something happens and he'd just sat there, watching his two friends being taken away. He was also slightly surprised to see that Teal'c didn't seem to be unfazed by the situation. Although Sam had told him that he only showed emotion rarely. He was slowly getting used to the Jaffa's mannerisms.

"We will seek General Hammond's insight on the situation and conduct a search from there." Teal'c replied and looked at Jonas. "I will endeavour to search for Colonel O'Neill and Major Carter until they are found." He reassured Jonas.

Jonas nodded, "Then so will I." Teal'c bowed his head.

As they walked back into the city, Jonas felt a new sense of determination. He would help Teal'c find Sam and Jack no matter what it took, because he knew that if the situation were reversed, they'd do the same for him. Even though they barely knew him, they'd still do it because that's what they do.


A/N: Again, thanks for all of the reviews!!! Umm... the first prime is just gettign called first prime, because I don't know if we've ever known the name of Ba'al's first prime. If you know, I'd love it if you could tell me! As for the "It's what they do", does anybody else have a flashback to Wromhole X-treme "It's what I do." lol. Well thanks for reading and the next chapter will be up soon!
