"We need to get outside." Daniel said after a few long minutes had passed.
"She won't make it."
"What do you mean? We can't just sit here!"
"She's losing too much blood as it is. If I remove the pressure she'll bleed to death before we get outside. . . . .
"What? No, we can. . ."
"Daniel." Jack's voice came over the radio.
"Not now."
"Move to your left Daniel."
"Jack we're having a problem here!" Daniel shouted into the radio.
"God damn it Daniel. Just move to your left!"
Daniel moved to his left, practically standing on Sam. As soon as he stopped the rings descended and took them to the ship. Once the rings had returned to their place in the floor Jack was by Jacobs side handing him the healing device.
"Oh shit!" Jack said when Jacob removed his hand.
"You need to get us back." Jacob said activating the healing device. "She's not breathing."
Daniel rushed out to where Teal'c was piloting the ship. "You need to step on it Teal'c, Sam's not good."
"We shall arrive shortly. Perhaps you should inform DoctorFraiser."
"On it." Daniel jumped in the other seat and turned on the radio. "Daniel Jackson to General Hammond."
"Hammond here." Came the general's voice a few moment s later.
"General we're going to need a medical team."
"Very well. What's your ETA?"
"We shall arrive in approximately six minutes." Teal'c answered.
"Tell Janet to be ready. Jacob's healing her but she's not breathing."
"Daniel this is Fraiser. Did you say she's not breathing?"
"Yes."
"Has anyone started CPR?"
"We can't."
"You know CPR Daniel." Daniel could hear Jane's breathing increase, she must be running.
"No we can't. Jacob's healing a pretty messy chest wound."
"Shit." Janet cursed as she and her team burst onto the surface. "Daniel, where are you?"
The bright lights of the rings came instead of an answer from Daniel. Jacob, Sam, and Jack were deposited on the pavement in front of her.
"Jacob." Janet asked as she moved over and began to insert an IV into Sam's right arm. "You almost through?"
"Few more minutes."
"How long has she not been breathing?"
"Almost ten minutes." Jack supplied. At Janet's look of alarm he gently reminded her, "Hey relax, she can hold her breath for 17 minutes. She'll be alright."
"It's one thing to not breath Colonel, but by the look of the amount of blood she's lost her blood pressure has to be practically non existent, if she has a pulse at all. This is totally different then holding her breath."
"Oh." Jack's face fell.
"Done." Jacob said backing away quickly to allow Janet's team to move in.
An airman was already acting as in IV pole dumping blood back into Sam's body as fast as was safe. Janet quickly attached the portable monitor to Sam's chest, frowning at the flat line that appeared.
Janet's nurses were running around while Janet brought her stethoscope to Sam's chest. She looked up sharply just as the machine beeped. They waited for what seemed like forever before they heard the next beep.
"Open that line! I want that blood in her now!"
"We're giving it to her as fast as safe."
"Somehow I think she can handle it. Now do it!"
They all watched as the beeps slowly increased. Daniel and Teal'c ringed down to the right of the group, tired of waiting for them to move and anxious to see how Sam was doing. Seeing everyone standing around Sam's still form, the medical personnel simply looking on, Daniel sank to his knees. Janet, seeing him go down, rushed to his side.
"Daniel? Are you injured?" Getting no answer Janet shook his shoulder. "Daniel."
"What?"
"Are you injured?"
"Me? No. Sam's." Daniel chocked, unable to finish his sentence.
"Daniel Sam's alright. She'll be fine."
"She's not."
"No Daniel. She's. . ."
Janet words were cut off as a sharp intake of air was heard followed by harsh coughing. Janet rushed back to Sam's side. Sam's eyes were wide and frightened as she gripped her chest where the wound had been.
"Sam." Janet tried to get her friends attention. Sam was often disoriented when she first awoke in the infirmary, this seemed to be no different. All she needed was to get her focused. "Sam. Look at me."
Sam, breathing shallow and quick looked briefly at Janet before returning her gaze to the parking lot around her.
"Sam." Janet grabbed Sam's chin and forced her to look at her. "Focus Sam. You're fine. Your safe."
Sam stared blankly for a moment before her eyes focused and her breathing began to slow. "Janet?"
"Welcome back Carter."
"Sir?" Sam looked at those around her. "What's going on?"
"You don't remember?" Janet asked, pulling out her pen light and shining it in Sam's eyes. Sam flinched away from the light.
"You are really going to need to get a dimmer on of those. With my eye sight it's like shining the sun into my eyes."
"Ah, that's they way it is with all of us Carter."
"Last thing I remember is that guy getting the jump on us in the hall." Sam tried to sit up but her vision started to gray out. "Oh man."
"Easy Sam. You've lost a lot of blood. You need to lay still for a while."
"Any chance of doing that somewhere other then the parking lot?"
