It was hours after the incident with Ethan and General Hammond had been informed. He quickly ordered Ethan into an isolation room and heavily secured for the time being. Riley and Jesse were allowed only to be on certain floors of the base and that was final.

Riley was sitting in the gate room looking up at the Stargate when Jesse found him. "Hey," she called out to him, as she came up to his side and he shot her a smile, while she sat down next to him. "What you thinking about?"

"Home," he said, as he rested his hands on his knees. "I can't help but think that I may have made a mistake in coming here."

"Why did you come? I mean it's really nice that you're here and all, but there has to be a reason."

"Cassie made me."

"Cassie made you?" Jesse got to her feet and walked up the ramp towards the gate. "Where is she really? Is she still alive?"

"Yeah, she's still alive. Her symbiote said that she could be healed. She took a nasty hit to her back. I barely got her out of there alive." Riley got to his feet and joined her under the gate.

"Where did you take her?"

"I took her to the Nox. They told me that they would protect her."

"When are we going to tell them why the Goa'uld are after Cassie?"

"In due time." He placed a hand on the gate and it faintly glowed. "I really don't know how we're going to tell them."

"What that Cassie had been taken prisoner and implanted with Amonet, Apophis' queen. They're going just love the fact that we trust her to lead us against the attack against the Goa'uld."

"Cassie's the host to Amonet?" Daniel asked from the door and they turned to face him. "How can that be?"

"It's a long story."

"I have time." Daniel came up to them and leaned up against the wall.

"You do, but we don't." Jesse touched the gate only to pull back her hand. "We don't belong here. We belong in our own time, in our own dimension."

"I know," Riley said as he watched her look at the gate. "What's wrong?"

"I just feel horrible about leaving all of those people behind. We could have freed them."

"Jesse, are you nuts? There were Jaffa, hundreds of them, and we had maybe ten of us who knew who to fight. We didn't stand a chance with any weapons."

"But we still broke the rule. We left people behind."

"We had no other choice. If we had stayed behind, we would have surely been either captured by Apophis or killed."

"I don't care!" She shoved Riley back and he flew off the ramp only to land on his feet in a crouching position. "I see that you have been working on your fighting skills, Riley."

"Yeah, I kind of had to. You do remember that we were in the middle of a war?" Riley got to his feet and brushed off his pants, looking up at her. "Or did you forget?"

"How could I forget that fact?" She jumped down until she was in front of him. "But it seems that you choose to forget some of the important facts. You tend to look the other way when it comes down to things that deal with the Goa'uld. Why is that?"

"I have my reasons." He took a step back as Jesse took a step towards him.

"Um, can I interrupt?" Daniel called out, bringing their attention to him. "What about Cassie?"

"What about his queen?" Jesse asked, as she grabbed Riley's shirt and pushed him back into the wall. "That's it. You're loyal to Amonet. You've been hiding it since I first meet you."

"No, I'm not loyal to Amonet." He grabbed her arm, spun her arm until her face was in the wall, and held her arm behind her back. "You have your facts wrong, Love."

"I'm not your love." She pushed back from the wall and turned to see Riley slam against the side of the ramp. "I don't know you anymore."

"Are you kidding me? I'm the same person I was the day that I have meet you."

"I'm sure about that." He took a step towards her and she braced herself. She looked up into his eyes and bit down on her lower lip. "So what are you going to do about me?"

"I have a good idea." He grabbed her arm and threw her up into the air. She landed with a huff on the ramp in a crouching position. "You could take out your anger and rage out on me."

"Sounds like a good idea." She blurred down the ramp only to stop at the bottom and turned to face the door. "Ethan!" Then she blurred out of the door.

"What was that?" Daniel asked Riley, as he came up to his side.

"I have no idea, but we should follow her. She has this sixth sense when it comes down to something happening to Ethan." They took off for the isolation room where Ethan had been placed in. They came upon the room only to find the door open and the guards knocked out. "This can't be good."

"Where did they go? Did she do this?"

"No, it looks more like Ethan did." Riley looked up to see a blurring body coming towards them and pushed Daniel back into the wall, as it ran bye. "That's Ethan."

"How do you know that?"

"Because Jesse's hurt at the end of the hall." Riley took down to the end of the corridor where Jesse was hunched over with a hand placed on her stomach. "What happened?" He hunched down in front of her and placed a hand on her arm. "Jesse?"

"He stabbed me with a knife." She pulled back her hand to show him the massive wound. "I thought that I could take him. He's not thinking straight. He's so confused right now."

"We'll get him back." He then looked up to see Carter and Janet had joined them. "Ethan stabbed her."

"Okay," Janet said, as she dropped down to her knees beside Jesse and began to tend to her wound. "You'll be okay. It wasn't a deep enough wound. You'll just be sore for a while, and you might need some more blood. You need to go the infirmary."

"Riley, you're the only one who can get Ethan," Jesse said, as Janet helped her to her feet. "You are the only one he'll listen to."

"I'm on it," Riley said, as he took off in a blur, leaving them all shocked.

"I knew he could do that," Jesse said, as she smiled as Carter came up to help Janet with her. "Now I can rub it in his face now."

"What that you know that he can do the same stuff you can?" Carter asked, as they started for the infirmary. "How do you know that Riley can catch Ethan? You couldn't."

"I did expect him to blur when he did. Riley knows Ethan better."

"So you believe that he can catch him?" Daniel asked as he walked with them.

"Yes, Daniel, I believe that he can."

"Let's hope that he can, or we'll have some serious trouble."

"Trouble? You are understating that. You have chaos on your hands in no time."

"Sounds like fun."
