Okay here is the next chapter that I had already typed out before chapter 12. I figured I could still use this one I would just have to put off some of the other stuff I had planned out. Well here you go tell me how you like it.

A weary, tired, hungry, and soaking wet SG-1 walked through the forest following the shoe prints that had been left in the dirt. SG-3 was on a second trail somewhere and hopefully they were having better luck. As much as he wanted to take a break Jack just couldn't. The rain had started up about half an hour ago and was trying its best to wash away the trail, or at least what trail they could find. The ground had become covered in rocks and made it hard to find any traces of footprints. Jack could just barely pick out traces of them in the little spots of mud. He also noticed that the rocks seemed to have been overturned in the middle of the path and in places the boot marks were pretty deep. By the looks of it Carter must have been pretty tired. He continued to follow the subtle signs that someone had been there. Suddenly the trail ended. All traces had disappeared. He didn't see anything that would indicate which way they had gone. Daniel came up next to him. Jack looked over at him not knowing what to do know.

"What?" Daniel asked.

"It's a dead end." He replied.

"So what do we do now?" Daniel questioned.

"Well why don't we take a small break while I talk with SG-3."

"Sounds good." Daniel said and went and joined Teal'c.

Jack grabbed his walkie-talkie and spoke into it.

"Major Hayes can you read me?" he asked.

"Loud and clear Colonel."

"How are you guys doing?"

"We're fine. How bout you?"

"Were a little tired. Looks like we hit a dead end."

"A dead end?"

"Yeah the trail just ends."

"Okay. Well were not having much luck over here either. It seems the trail just loops around in a circle."

"Okay. Well we'll head back and meet you. Where are you now?"

"We are heading down the path you took."

"Okay, well we're going to take a small break then we'll take a look around and if we don't find a thing we'll turn around."

There was no answer.

"Major..."

"Do you read me?"

Silence. There was no answer. Jack knew this wasn't good.

"Daniel, Teal'c hide, NOW." He commanded as he saw movement down below.

They quickly scrambled into the bushes before they were spotted. Just then some Goa'uld walked by. There were five of them. Jack signaled for Daniel and Teal'c to keep down and have there eyes open.

They watched as they appeared from the bushes and headed back down the path they had just come up from.

As soon as they disappeared Daniel spoke.

"Well what did SG-3 say?"

"They didn't find a thing. They said they were heading back down the path that we took." Jack replied

"Shouldn't we warn them?" Daniel asked.

"No use. They broke up. We should probably look around then if nothing pops up go down that path there."

"So we're just going to leave SG-3 to fend for themselves?"

"Look I'm just going by ear here but I think there are going to be Goa'uld troops searching for us so we need to keep moving. If we do go back to the gate it's more than likely that there's a trap waiting for us. So the only option I see is that we keep going." Jack explained. "So just search the area and keep your eyes open."

With that Daniel and Teal'c started roaming the area looking for signs of other paths and stuff while Jack searched the trail the Goa'uld had just come off of.

He definitely saw boot prints in the ground. He noted that they seemed pretty small and they had the same design as on the bottom of his boots. Definitely had to be Carter's.

He was interrupted as he was pulled back into the bushes and a hand came across his mouth. He looked up though the vines to see SG-3 being dragged away down the path in the hands of their captors. Jack looked over at Teal'c and Daniel and saw them clutching their zat's ready to fire. He put his hand and singled not to fire. He checked to make sure the coast was clear before he got out of the bushes.

"Jack why didn't we fire? We could have taken them down easily." Daniel asked.

"Yes I believe we could have." Teal'c said.

"Not just yet." Jack replied getting a strange look and a raised eyebrow. "Their going to lead us to where their keeping Carter and once we find out we can free them but not just yet."

"You sure that's a good idea. I mean what if something else happens to them and they get killed or something." Daniel questioned.

"Daniel just go with it. It's the best plan we've come up with since we were here." Jack replied.

With that he started off down the path making sure they were still out of view but close enough to still see SG-3. Teal'c and Daniel started off behind him making sure no one was around.

Let me know what you think. If your lucky you may get the next chapter pretty soon depends on how much time I have. Also let me know if you have any ideas or want to see something put in the story and I will see what I can do.
