"Help me!" Janet screamed in her sleep. "He's hurting me!" Janet screamed louder. The stranger in Janet's' dreams always seems to be her ex-husband earl beating her and rapping her. "STOPPPP!" Janet woke herself up with her screams. She wished she didn't have too, ever since Cassie move to NYU that's what she had to do. Her cell phone started ringing "Hello?" Janet picked up her cell phone uneasily. "Hey, baby. How ya doing?" "Who is this?" Janet asked. "It's Earl." He said. "No, no, no, no, no oh no that's not true earl is dead by a car accident no you are NOT him!" Janet said a little louder then she intended too. "I know where you live; I'll come and get you Ok?" Earl said calmly into the phone. "NO, earl no. Earl? You still there?" Janet said panicky. "Oh god..." at that moment Janet felt very unsafe. She locked all the doors and windows. Later that night she heard a window break. The very familiar sound of navy style boots, Janet ran and hid in her closet. "Janet babe you in here?" There was a lot of dust at the bottom of her closet, her allergies kicked in and she sneezed really loud. Moments after that the doors flew open to reveal a terrified doctor at the bottom." Ah here you are, now I'm gonna teach you not to hide from me ever again!" Earl grabbed Janet and beat her bad and left.
The next day Daniel came to see why Janet was 4 hours late for work what he came to find was a knocked out Janet on the floor. "Oh god Janet!" Daniel said as he ran over to her. "Janet come on wake up." said shaking her slightly. "No stop please no more!" Janet said trying to get out of Daniel's grip. "Janet!" Daniel yelled. Janet stopped as she opened her eyes. "Oh Daniel!" Janet said as she grabbed on to Daniel and started sobbing. "Janet what happened who did this to you?" Janet didn't answer; she just continued crying until she pleaded. "Daniel, take me away from this place I don't feel safe here, please." Daniel nodded. "Can you walk?" Daniel asked. Janet tried but she was too terrified to walk so she nearly fell to the floor again but Daniel caught her. "I'll take that as a no." With that said Daniel picked her up and carried her to his car. The drive to the SGC was a quite one; in Daniel's eyes Janet seemed as if she could not stop crying. 'why does she feel so unsafe?' until they were there that question stuck itself in Daniel's mind. He parked the car and went around to the passengers' side where Janet was sitting, picked her up and carried her in. By the time they got to the elevator Janet passed out. On the infirmary level, Daniel was asked a lot of questions by the SF's like 'What's wrong?' or 'what happened?" he never answered them though.
When he got to the infirmary he placed her down on one of the empty gurneys and then explained what happened to another nurse there and said when she wakes up to let him know imminently and then he went to tell sam. "Sam! Wait up." Daniel called after sam who was walking fast as she always did in the morning. "What Daniel, I have a lot of paper work to do and a lot of stuff to revise and..." Sam's sentence was cut short by Daniel "Something happened to janet." Daniel said calmly. "Where is she? Is she ok? Explain what happened." Sam asked and demanded. "Well, Jack sent me out after her to see why she was four hours late. When I got there no one answered so I used the key Janet gave me to get into her house if she ever over slept. When I got in the house I went to Janet's room and found her on the floor knocked out cold, it looked like someone beat her up bad but, I don't know who." Sam didn't respond but then after a second or two." Where is she?" "In the infirmary." Daniel said. With that sam went to check on her friend.
She walked into the infirmary and was greeted with a mess; Janet was wide- wake and looked scared to death. She was in the corner of the room crying softly, shaking slightly but that look in her eyes was the look of pure terror. "Janet? Janet it's me sam. Come on out from the corner Janet, where's that nurse that was looking after you?" Sam said as she approached Janet. When sam got close enough janet started to mutter something. "He's here, he's here, run, run, run! He'll kill, he'll hurt you! RUN!" Janet didn't mutter that line she shouted it. Janet raised a finger and pointed behind sam, wide eyes, sam turned around to see a man bout 6'9" holding a bat in his hands. "Hey what you doing with my girl?" when he spoke his voice was rough and rugged and cracked at times. "EARL NO SHE"S MY FRIEND! Janet shouted from behind sam. "So your earl?" Sam asked and janet wished she hadn't. Earl didn't say anything and just raised the bat a hit sam hard.
Sam was lucky she had good aim before she fell to the floor she leaned against the wall and hit the emergency button and the alarm went off, then sam fell to the floor with a thud. Janet was still in the corner dead- afraid to move. Seconds later jack came busting in the room by then Earl was long gone. "Janet what…Sam!" Jack shouted as he ran to her side. Sam awoke to find jack kneeling next to her and a bunch of nurses coming over to her then she looked at janet, who just sat there shaking a little more then before, Until she stopped moving completely still, sam thought until she reached a conclusion, yep, janet was in shock. Despite the nurses hovering over her sam sat up, also despite the pain, sam went over to janet. "Janet, It's ok. We'll find him and get him ok? We won't let him hurt you anymore." Sam said to janet. Janet finally spoke up, "I want to believe but when he is after me he'll do what ever it takes he'll hurt everyone and when he gets me this time I think he is going to kill me." Janet said her voice trembling a little as she spoke. "well it looks like we need to keep you here under guard and um I'll send daniel to come and see you once and while OK?" jack asked, janet nodded. "it's time to try and hunt down earl."
