Chapter 5

General Hammond's back was stiff with indignation. Sam stood trying to appear calm, hands clasped behind her back while Daniel paced the small office, listening to Hammond's angry words. "And what idiot authorized that? No one has the right to kidnap any of my officers... Colonel O'Neill did not willingly leave with those people, that I can assure you... Colonel O'Neill is an officer in the United States Air Force, and Colonel Karino-O'Neill is an officer of United States Army, not some guinea pigs for the NID boys to play with. I will not stand idly by and let one of my men and one of my women, good and decent people who have dedicated their lives to the service of their country, be treated like, like, like common criminals. Is that clear?…" General Hammond slammed down the phone so hard everything on his desk rattled. "The NID have them. Maybourne was given orders to pick them up for 'questioning.' "

"Questioning?" Daniel asked.

"About what they learned from those devices."

"But they don't remember anything," Daniel said, shocked.

"We know that. But apparently, they don't believe us."

Sam was staring at the General. "But, Sir, how did the NID know?"

"Know what, Major?"

"How did they know about Colonels O'Neill and the devices? Who told them?" All three looked at each other.

General Hammond's face turned even more grim. "A spy, we have an NID spy in our midst." He drummed fingers on the desk. "Okay. First order of business, people, is to get the Colonels back before... well, before any harm is done." Hammond began barking out orders to the security people. An hour of checking videotapes revealed Maybourne and his three henchmen taking two of the three O'Neills off the base. Cameras showed a plain gray van leaving the parking area, clearing the security gate and starting down the mountain. "However," Hammond said, "They did not take the main road off the mountain."

"Sir? How do you know that?" a surprised Major Carter asked.

"One more security camera, Major," the General said, "At the turn onto the main road. Not many people know it's there. It's an extra security precaution."

"Good thinking, Sir," Sam said with a smile.

"The gray van never passed the final security camera. Which means..."

"They took the mountain road," Daniel added.

"Yes." General Hammond said.

"So..." Daniel asked.

"So that means they are most likely heading across the mountain. It takes hours..."

"How will we find them?" Daniel asked again.

"Satellite photos will be on my desk inside the next ten minutes. Let's get to work people. We've got two missing Colonels to find."
