Well here it is, the next chapter. Apologies for the long time between updates up until now – this was (and still is) due to everything that's happening in the real world that I have to deal with first before I can get my writing done. But I never leave anything unfinished so please stick with this! Ne way, nuff talking...

"Take the next left." Liam instructed, arm resting on the open window as he starred blankly out onto the darkening sky.

Naomi did as she was told, keeping silent the entire way there. She was, after all in a precarious position anyway – Liam didn't want her there and she was half scared of him just jumping out of the car and walking the rest of the way. Not that it would have helped him, but he was so determined to save Amy alone that he wasn't thinking straight, he didn't seem to realise the danger that he was in either.

"Keep going until we reach the gates, then let me handle it." He told her, sounding a million miles away.

She nodded and kept on driving, but after a couple of minutes she decided to speak.

"We're going to Cheyenne mountain aren't we." Naomi didn't turn around and she kept her eyes firmly on the road, but she could sense Liam's glare blazing directly onto her.

"How would you know that?" he asked her.

"I've been here before, four months ago for that young scientist conferences." He just blinked at her explanation. "You could have just told me where we were going, I would have taken the short cut."

But he didn't get a chance to reply to her because as they reached the gates, two guards approached the vehicle and he turned to the one nearest his side of the car.

"I have a code 14b, serial c12 emergency and I need to speak with your superiors." He told them, reaching into his pocket to show them a pass – which he had been given for an emergency – and hoping that they would let him through.

The guard looked at his partner, who was talking with Naomi, as if to confer about whether to let two teenagers into one of the most classified military areas in the world – let alone the country.

His partner, having finished talking with the girl nodded and gave them the all clear.

"Thank you." Naomi told the guard and slipped something back into her bag, Liam didn't notice – he was too preoccupied with what he was supposed to tell himself – it didn't seem to bother him that getting inside the mountain had been all too easy, or that normally any visitor had to be verified by a commanding officer.

"Just park over here and stay in the car, I don't know how long I'm going to be but I'm not letting you come with me – you've already gone too far anyway – it's a wonder those guards let you in." he informed, once again sounding like the commanding officer he had been.

She gave him no protest, telling him only "Good luck." And waiting until he was completely out of sight and heading down the long tunnel entrance before taking out her phone.

Naomi dialled the number quickly,

"Hello, how may I direct your call?" the voice at the other end asked her.

"I need to speak to General Hammond, tell him it's the emergency he hoped would never happen and Naomi Witters needs to speak with him." She explained, knowing that her name would be enough for the call to be put through.

"I'm just connecting you now." The voice told her and she heard the dial ringing tone once again, but it was cut off abruptly.

"General Hammond speaking, Miss Witters, what exactly has happened?" he sounded worried and surprised to hear from her, after all nothing was supposed to go wrong.

"Liam's heading down to speak to you right now sir, his cover has been breached, somebody is after him, but I have no idea how. There was someone sneaking around after school yesterday, he seemed to be watching them – "

"Them?" the General questioned and Naomi felt her heart sink, she hadn't meant to say that, it was Liams job to tell them about Amy.

"Ah... sir, I think it's better if Liam explains all of this. I can't tell you the full story." And it was the truth, she just hoped the General didn't take it too hard, regardless of whether Amy had been there or not, Liam would have still been in danger. She had a feeling that taking Amy had just been more convenient at the time.

"Very well, but I'd like you to join us, make your way down as soon as possible. I'll call the rest of SG-1." He told her.

"Yes sir, I'll be there in a few minutes." And Naomi hung up her phone; locked up her car and headed in the same direction Liam had only a few minutes before. On the way she took out the same pass that had got her and Liam into the base in the first place.

It seemed even she had a lot of explaining to do, only her's wasn't going to get her into as much trouble as what Liam had to tell them...

As her eyes drifted slowly and painfully open her world seemed to spiral in front of her and all she could make out where wurling colours and shapes. One of them appeared to be moving towards her but when she tried to back away Amy found she was already up against a cold concrete wall.

"There's no need to do that now is there? It's not like we don't know each other." The voice of the now swaying figure told her.

"What's..." but it was all she managed to say before her vision completely cleared and the face of her captor was visible. Her eyes widened in shock and she could only stare.

"Surprised to seem me?" he asked, not giving her chance to reply, "Probably not as surprised as we were when we saw you, Major Carter. I must admit you managed to fool one of my best operatives." Kinsey's snarl made her sick to her stomach and all Amy wanted to do was reach out and wipe it right off his face.

It seemed however that it was impossible for her to move properly; moving against the wall had taken all her energy. She felt as though her entire body was weighted down and it scared her, he had all the power and she couldn't do anything.

"What are you talking about?" Amy knew how futile it was to expect him to fall for her act of innocence but it was worth a try, besides it was the only thing that she could do.

"Don't play innocent with me, you may have a different name but your DNA is the same. The only question now is whether you're willing to cooperate or not." He told her, sitting at her side on the makeshift bunk she was lying on.

"I will never – cooperate- with you." She choked out, it seemed the drug they had given her was still affecting anything she tried to do.

"Ah you will my dear, you don't have a choice. You are merely a shadow of your former self, not even your precious Colonel can get you out of this one." His voice seemed to smother her, like there was nowhere to escape the sound.

But she knew he was wrong, there was a way out of this... there had to be.

Kinsey must have noticed the look of defiance in her eyes because he laughed, a sound tinged with cruelty. She always knew he was devious but she was beginning to think that it she'd only seen the surface before now.

"Do you honestly believe that they will come for you? No one knows where you are, or where you're going for that matter. And besides the moment 'Liam' tells his former self and the rest SG-1 what has happened the military will be shown incapable of running the SGC and will have to hand it over."

There was nothing she could say to that and her heart sunk, would her selfishness end up destroying everything the only line of defence their planet had? Suddenly her world crumbled around her as she realised that had she not been there none of this would have happened, now the SGC would be put in jeopardy.

Her world went from one of happiness to distress... she would be to blame if anything happened, because she wanted to be happy, because she wanted to be with him. She screwed her eyes shut at the thought and refused to look at the man sat right by her, but at the same time she could feel her world slipping away again... only this time she wanted it.

"Seems the drug is working." He muttered once he was sure she'd slipped back into unconsciousness.

"Yes sir, it will make her more and more susceptible to anything you have to tell her. You should be able to break her within a matter of days." The scientist that had been observing the whole time informed in, stepping into the room and checking the vitals displayed on the monitor at the end of the bunk.

"I should hope so." And the look he shot the other man seemed to be the look of someone who was going mad. There was a thirst for power there, one he didn't want to get in the way of. He was just there to do his job after all, but he wondered what exactly he was getting himself into.

After his some what easy entry into the mountain complex, Liam had been stopped and interrogated at every single check point – despite his ID and having quoted the emergency code to everyone he spoke with.

"Look I've already told you, I just need to speak to general Hammond – it's an emergency."

"That may be so, but we are simply verifying your identity before you proceed." The female airman told him as she scanned him for weapons for what felt like the millionth time.

"For cryin' out loud!" he muttered and the woman looked at him.

"Right, you're all clear and may proceed." And he nodded, not even bothering to say anything else as he ran at full speed down the corridor to the final elevator, the one that would take him down to the briefing room. The place where he would have to tell General Hammond exactly what had been going on all of these months... exactly what Amy had done.

And he knew the General was not going to like it.

"Hey Carter, you headed to this briefing too?" Jack asked as he joined his second in command on the way from the commissary.

"Yes sir."

"Do you have any idea what it's about?" he asked her as he put his identity card back into his pocket.

She shook her head, "No sir. But General Hammond said it was urgent." And there was also this feeling she couldn't shake...

"Where are Daniel and Teal'c?" he asked when the corridor became too quiet, it had been happening a lot lately when they were alone. Neither could think of anything to say and she couldn't quite figure out why. Although I think it has something to do with what happened six months ago...

"I think they're already there, I haven't seen them sir." And he nodded as the approached the spiral staircase.

At the top Daniel and Teal'c were both sat talking quietly to each other, they stopped when their teammates approached though.

"Hey guys." Daniel greeted them as they sat either side of where General Hammond would soon take up position of head of the table.

"Hi Daniel, you got any idea what's going on?" Jack asked, but the archaeologist just shrugged and tipped his head towards General Hammond's office.

"The General's in some sort of emergency meeting though so it must be something big."

"I believe it to be a matter of great importance as I was asked not to return to my son this weekend because of the matter that has just arisen." Teal'c informed them and Sam nodded.

"Do we know who he's in there with?" she asked, the blind had been put down over the connecting window so no one could see into the office like they usually could.

"Not a clue but it should be over soon – " Daniel stopped talking as soon as he saw the figure approaching out of the corner of his eye. It can't be...

The young man stopped in his tracks as he stared at the four people sat at the briefing room table, they looked as startled as he did. They weren't supposed to know – no on was supposed to know I was coming down...unless the security guys were delaying me on purpose to tell the General I was here.

"What the-" was the only thing he managed to utter. It was such a shock to see them all – to see what used to be his life displayed like a memory before his eyes. His gaze was immediately drawn to Sam and the pain in his heart grew just a little bit more, she was right there – alive and safe.

But she wasn't Amy, six months of separation meant that they were now different people. She wasn't the same woman that he was in love with – they were like two alternate reality versions of the same person.

"It does indeed seem to be something of great importance." Teal'c commented, being the first to bring everyone back to the situation, as it seemed for at least two of the people at the table, something was about to be exposed.

"What are you doing here?" Jack finally managed to ask the young man, who up until a few months ago had been him.

"That's a very good question Colonel, one I'm sure he will answer as soon as this meeting get's underway."

Liam looked to see General Hammond walking out of his office,

"General, I... someone knows who I am and they've taken her to get at Me." he knew that it didn't make sense but he was desperate.

"I am aware that there are people out there who have learned who you really are son, but who is it that we have to save?" the older mans calm voice helped to slow the ranging torrent that ran through Liam. Damn these hormones! He thought as he struggled to regain some control.

"How do you know what's going on?" he asked, the code he'd given to the security guards at the gate wasn't anything specific it was just used to signify a high level emergency.

"Because I called General Hammond whilst you were on your way down." An all too familiar voice told him.

"Naomi?" he asked, astounded for what felt like the millionth time since he'd entered the briefing room.

She nodded as she walked into the room and came to stand at his side.

"Miss Witters has been keeping an eye on you for several months now and is a part of our civilian scientists program." The general told him as he turned to look at her.

"So all this time you knew who I was, who we were and you didn't tell me?" he asked, sounding a little agitated.

She shook her head, "I only found out four months ago and by that time I was already friends with the two of you." She paused. "I was told not to tell you as an extra security measure, but to keep an eye on you all the same."

"Is that why you were so protective of us? And why you told Amy that story about your family as some sort of cover up?" he asked, feeling as though she had somehow betrayed him.

But he regretted his words as soon as he saw the look in her eyes.

"That was no story, I never lied to you – not once, everything I told you was the truth." Naomi told him through gritted teeth, it seemed as though she was fighting the urge to cry. But she managed to regain her composer.

"Did you tell them about her?" he whispered quietly, knowing the secret would have to be explained in a few minutes anyway.

"No, I had no business to, I was asked to look out for you. I wasn't even sure who she was at first and even once I'd figured it out I kept quiet. It wasn't my secret to tell." She replied, equally quiet and Liam nodded.

"Thank you." He told her an she simply smiled sadly before talking a seat next to Daniel.

Liam remained standing and just looked around at the people before him. There was no other choice.

"General as I'm sure Naomi has already told you, there has been a security breach, somebody has discovered my identity – at least what used to be my identity. But that isn't the only problem..." he hesitated, seeing the looks on his older counterpart and Sam's faces.

I'm sorry guys...

"Go on son, what else has happened?" the general prodded so Liam, knowing that if he didn't do something he may never see Amy again took his life in his hands when he answered.

"I wasn't the only member of SG-1 to be cloned." And General Hammond's eyes shot straight at the head of SG-1.

"Colonel is this true?" but he couldn't reply, no words would come. He'd hoped ... he'd prayed that this would never happen. He'd wanted them to live out their lives without everyone else having to know-

"Yes sir, it's true." Sam answered for him, not managing to look at anyone in the room.

"Major?" the General's gaze turned to her's but she couldn't meet it.

"Look, before you start to court Marshall anyone about all of this General, there is something else going on that might just be more important." Naomi said, surprising everyone and stopping the current line of interrogation.

Catching onto the look in her eyes, Liam continued. "Someone was after me – at least I think they were, but they got lucky when they found the other clone – at least I think that's what happened. And they took her, leaving me a note. Look I know that we shouldn't have done it and it shouldn't have happened but we did and it has." He sighed.

"They took Amy, knowing that I'd have to come to you, but I couldn't leave her... I think we're in the middle of something big and I don't know who to trust... but I know we have to get her back."

"Get who back?" General Hammond asked, starting to get slightly infuriated with the current situation – whatever it was.

"My clone sir." Sam said, her voice just loud enough to carry to everyone at the table.

"Major?"

"Right after he'd made sure that Liam was going to be ok I went to talk with Thor, -"

And knowing what she was going to say, and that she didn't know all the facts... Liam stepped in.

"There was a procedure left unfinished and major carter needed to be cloned – look sir I know it's against orders-"

"Your damn right it is!" he was fuming that it had gone on this long without him being notified – what else didn't he know?

"They didn't have a choice." Naomi's words stopped everyone and even the General seemed to calm down a little.

Sam looked to the teenager in shock, she thought she had chosen to do it – they'd broken the rules... unless the girl was covering for them? but there was honesty in her eyes and she almost looked like the knowledge cause her some sort of pain.

"Miss Witters, what exactly do you mean?"

"I can't explain it right now – there is too much to go into, but for now I think that we should try and figure out who took Amy, the name of major Carter's clone, and what exactly is going on."

And with that the briefing turned to what exactly was going on, General Hammond knew he would have to act though, so did Jack and Sam. This wasn't going to be easy for any of them...

well there you have it the next chapter! Positive reviews and constructive critism welcome! thanx
