Daniel and Teal'c instinctively hit the ground.

Mark began firing at the guy. Bullets filled tha air. There was blood everywhere. Daniel fought back the wave nausea. He looked down. His leg was bleeding.


"We got him" Mark yelled heading over to next to Sam's capturer. "Oh my" he said taking a small step back. "His eyes glowed" he whispered.


"SAM" Jack cried his voice filled with anguish. She was lying on the ground covered in blood.

Mark pulled out his cell phone dialed 911 "We need a ambulance, pronto, 1322 Walnut street. She's bleeding to death, HURRY" he threw down the phone and knelt next to Sam "Sam c'mon" he pleaded

"Daniel Jackson" Teal'c cried. Daniel had tried to stand up and had promptly fainted.

"Teal'c, grab that sheet thing over there and wrap it around his leg" Jack yelled.

Teal'c instantly complied.

"The bullet passed through her shoulder" a deep voice said.

Mark turned to his dad "Dad?" he asked

His father bent his head "Yeah, I'm ok, let's just get Sam-"

Jack slumped on the ground.

"And Daniel and Jack to the nearest hospital" he added.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

At the Carter's house…

The newly arrived General was pacing the living room.

"Could I get you something to drink?" Carol offered.

He shook his head "No thank you" he said quietly.

Tommy reached over and picked up the General's hat. "Tommy" she said warningly. The boy instantly put the hat back down.

The phone rang.

Carol rushed over and grabbed it "Hello?" She was silent for a few minutes "Thank God" she cried "hold on" she turned to General Hammond "They are headed towards Mercy Hospital Foundation. They have Sam" she said with a smile.

"Is she alright?" a woman asked getting up.

She turned back to the phone "Is she hurt?" she asked. There were a few more moments of silence "Ok, yeah, alright, bye sweetie"

She turned to them "Sam had a bullet go through her shoulder and she is dehydrated. Daniel Jackson has been shot in the leg and Jack has several broken ribs, a broken wrist anda sprained ankle"

General Hammond nodded and turned to the woman "Dr, could we transfer them to the-"

"Sir, I'd strongly advise against it. It sounds like she's lost a lot of blood and flying there would most likely-"

"So no?"

Janet Fraiser nodded.

He sighed "Thank you ma'am , Doctor let's go down to that hospital"

She nodded "Good-bye Mrs. Carter, it was a pleasure to meet you"

"Bye Janet, Mr. Hammond" piped the kids

"Bye" Janet said waving


"Hi, We're here to see some people who were just brought in"

The nurse looked at him "Names please, Sir?" she added quickly

"Dr. Daniel Jackson, Major Samantha Carter and Colonel Jack O'Neill"

She typed in it "Ok, Dr. Jackson is in surgery, Major Carter is in Room 23, Floor 4, Colonel O'Neill is in room 25"

"Thank you" he said heading towards the elevator followed by Janet.


"Major Carter?"

Carter opened her eyes "Who's calling?" she whispered

The doctor chuckled "I take it you are feeling better. I'm Dr. Lane, you just got out of surgery"

"Head. Hurts."

"You cut yourself pretty badly on the side of your head" he said sympathetically

"So tired"

He nodded "Try to sleep and-"

"How. is. Jack?" she whispered, her breathing labored.

"A few broken ribs, a slight concussion, he should be fine"

"And Daniel?"

The Doctor bit his lip "Dr. Jackson is in surgery right now"

"Will he be ok?" she asked closing her eyes

"I hope so"

She yawned and fell asleep


"Sir, you can't go in there"

General Hammond turned to facea Doctor striding up the aisle "Why not?" he demanded

"Major Carter is resting"he said firmly

"Would it be ok if I checked on her?" Janet asked

The doctor hesitated "I-"

Another figure strode up the aisle "General, Doctor" he greeted

Doctor Lane's face cleared "You're a Doctor"

She smiled.

He sighed "make it quick:"

She nodded and slipped inside the room.

Mark smiled at the General "Jack's been asking for you"

General Hammond'sface brightened "Let's go"


"Hey Sam" Janet whispered. The figure didn't stir.

Janet looked her over carefully "You appear to be ok"

Sam kept breathing.

She smiled "I'm going to go look at the Colonel. I'll be back"

She looked at her for a second longer then slipped out of the room


Jack opened his eyes "Where's the party?" he asked trying to sit up

Jacob pushed him back down

"Jacob" Jack groaned.

"You almost got yourself killed" Mark said pacing up and down

Jack looked down "Did I break my wrist?" he asked casually

Mark rolled his eyes.

"How's Carter and Daniel?" he asked seriously.

"Sam's alright, She got a bullet through the shoulder and she's pretty scratched up and dehydrated other then that, great" Mark said slowly.

"Daniel?" Jack rasped

"He's in surgery. I guess the bullet cut some artery or something like that. He was bleeding to death"

"Makes you wish that Zats could take over the world" he muttered

"What was that?"Mark asked curiously

"Nothing" Jack said hastily

Mark stared at him then turned "I'm going to go get some coffee and call Carol again. Want anything?"

"Coffee" Jacob said defiantly

"Okkkkk Pops, Jack?"

"I'm good"

Mark nodded and turned to leave "Wait" Jack said. Mark turned to him

"Bring blue jello if they have any"

He nodded "I will"

Jack turned to Jacob once Mark had left the room "Why were you so adament about the coffee?" he asked curiously

Jacob hesitated "Selmak doesn't like coffee" he said quietly

"You gave up coffee for your snake?" he asked surprised "I didn't know that"

Jacob stared at him.

"What?" he asked looking around.

"Sam said those exact same words"

"She called it a snake?" he said surprised.

"What are your intentions concerning my daughter?" he asked suddenly

Jack began to choke and with that Janet entered the room.
