Chapter 4

Daniel helped Sam to her feet, who was feeling a little dizzy. O'Neill immediately jumped in, not allowing any comment about the previous discussion.

"OK, kids," he said, his hands resting on his P-90. "What about we go and find that fungus?"

Sam nodded. "Maybe the Goa'uld did it," she suggested. "I mean, they must have a base around here." She gestured toward the tree line, where the Jaffa ran to. "It might be in this direction, because the Jaffa that attacked us all immediately ran that way."

O'Neill was open to suggestions. "Then that way it is," he lead the team away, toward the trees.

In the trees

"Sir, there's something up ahead," said Carter, readying her weapon.

O'Neill gestured for the team to move forward. As they peeked over the hill in front of them, they saw a large Goa'uld facility.

"They're carrying something inside," said O'Neill, observing the Jaffa through his binoculars. "I wanna see what it is." After Teal'c, Daniel and Sam all nodded in agreement, they moved forward, careful not to be seen.

In the facility

"OK," said O'Neill quietly to his team. "We'll split up. Daniel and Teal'c go that way and Carter and I will go that way."

Carter nodded, but Daniel obviously had an objection unspoken.

They split up. Sam looked over her shoulder at Daniel. He was slouching forward, a right old sulk. She didn't know why he was in such a bad mood. Pushing these thoughts aside, she followed the Colonel, carefully watching for Jaffa or such enemies. They made their way down the silver, gold and unexciting corridor until they came to a door. It was open; no one was expecting intruders.

O'Neill made a strange and vivid hand gesture, one that's purpose was to get her attention. Sam frowned; she had no idea what it meant, but she guessed that it was a silent way to order her in. She obeyed with a small nod, peeking around the corner first to make sure that there were no occupants. After finding none, she signaled in a more civilized way for the Colonel to follow her.

Inside this room was another door. It was slightly smaller than the main one and had a brass handle. While O'Neill secured one side of the area, she tapped the door handle to make sure it wasn't force-fielded. (A/N I'm being an idiot; force-fielded is not a word, I think.) After she was satisfied that is was not, she turned the handle and pointed her gun at the occupant.

Sam's eyes widened. Her eyebrows rose. Her mouth dropped open in surprise. She could only think of one thing to say and it wasn't even intelligent.

"Ooops."

I hate Microsoft Word. The first sentence I wrote, it underlined it in green and suggested that I change it to 'Daniel helped Sam to her feet, who were feeling a little dizzy' or 'Daniel helped Sam to her foot, who was feeling dizzy'. And my friend wrote "WHY ARE YOU ACTING LIKE THIS" and MW suggested "WHY IS YOU ACTING LIKE THIS". Geez! What is with this…this thing?
