Hello my fabulous readers! Thank you tons for reviewing!

Ok, I made a huuugggee blooper in the last chapter which I will fix. Samantha, 8 letters not seven. 'sigh' thanks for catching that people.

And I hope you enjoy this chapter!


Monroe's hand rested casually on a zat'niki'tel. "It is good to see you again."

"I would say likewise only I'd be lying." Carter retorted, her own hand resting on her P-90.

"Lower your weapons," he said calmly.

"Like hell I will."

Monroe snapped his fingers. Soon he was surrounded by dozens of men. "You are outnumbered Samantha."

"It'll be a fight to the death then," she said raising her weapon as she heard Daniel open his zat.

He laughed. "Feisty... I like that. Something I will have to tame."

Carter blood turned cold. Tame? She heard Jack- General O'Neill that is- make a growling sound.

"Lower your weapons," he repeated.

"No."

One of Monroe'smen pointed a staff weapon at Jack. "I can shoot him Master."

Monroe's features stretched into a smile. "You see Samantha. You fight and your... friend... dies."

Her hands trembled slightly.

"Lower your weapons and I promise I will return your friends to 'Stargate Command'."

"Carter, don't do it," Jack said softly.

"I have too," she said in hoarse tone.

Daniel looked at her, horror on his face. "You think we will just go and leave you behind?"

"It's the only way," she repeated in the same hoarse tone.

Teal'c gave her a quick glance. "We will not leave you."

She took a deep breath. "I AM the leader of SG-1," she reminded them."Have I your promise?"

"You do."

"Allow me to see them depart, alive. I promise not to escape."

He nodded. "As you wish."

Another deep breath. "SG-1 stand down."

Å

"You can't do this Sam." Daniel whispered. "Let us fight."

She felt the General's eyes on her. "Someday I'll escape Daniel," she said softly. "Someday."

"Sam! Let us fight-"

"You'd be shot down instantly. They won't kill me Daniel. And I'd have your blood on my hands."

Monroe slowly dialed the Earth symbols. "Leave. Now," he ordered.

Daniel shook his head. "No."

"Daniel, listen to me." she urged. "Resistance is futile. Please. For me."

He looked at her with tears in his eyes. "I-"

She hugged him. "Be safe," she whispered.

"Farewell Major Carter."

"Good bye Teal'c," she whispered

He hesitated then hugged her. He quickly released her and allowed Jack to speak to her.

"Carter, this is nuts-" he began.

"Sir, don't, please."

He stopped. "This is MADNESS!"

A peculiar gleam came into her eyes. "Don't worry about me sir, I'll be ok."

"With him?" he yelped. "Carter, that guy is going to rape you!"

She gave him small smile. "He won't touch me," she said quietly.

Jack made a move as if he was going to leave.

"Sir, before you go..." and before she lost her nerve, she kissed him.Jack was obviously surprised but instantly responded.

"ENOUGH!" Monroe shouted. "Leave now!"

They broke apart breathing heavily. "I love you Carter," he whispered.

"I love you too sir."

"LEAVE NOW!"

"GO!" Sam ordered. "DAMN YOU DANIEL! GO!"

Daniel gave his friend one last agonized glance before hurrying through followed by Teal'c. Jack stood frozen to the spot, a sudden suspicion entering his head.

Monroe snapped his fingers, and two of his 'goons' seized him. Jack sent them flying, ignoring the zats that were now aimed at him.

"CARTER!" he shouted. "DON'T DO IT!"

"Go," she whispered. "Please."

"I can't."

He fell the ground a moment later, zatted. "Toss him through." Monroe said, watching to make sure his orders were followed before turning to face Sam. "Samantha," he whispered, "You are mine."

She opened her hand to reveal her grenade. "I don't think so."

And the last thing Jack heard before crashing onto the platform at the SGC was a terrific explosion.


Well, I DID say this was going to be angst...but then I am a crazy, messed up writer...
