Previously: "This, General," Dr. Lam pointed to the sleeping child who was now in just an oversized to shirt, "is Vala Mal Doran."
"This can't be Ms. Mal Doran. It's a child!" The general countered, his face turning to a light shade of red. It was the one thing that was the same between Hammond and Landry; they were easily angered. Lam didn't have time to reply, for the small figure on the bed started moving.
"Mom?" Vala called out in her child voice. Obviously not remembering anything of her adult life. Vala looked around her, and sat up, but as she did she realized she was no longer on Sitara. Obviously the Goa'uld had taken her. She jumped down off the bed and ran into Lam's office locking the door.
The three adults, alarmed by the rapid movements, were bewildered until they realized she had locked herself into Carolyn's office. The adults moved to the door, attempting to lure her back out.
"Oh sweetie, it's all right we aren't going to hurt you. Ok? We just want to talk to you. I promise no one will arm you." Carolyn sweetly talked to the scared girl leaning up against the door on the other side.
"Please will you come out and talk to us. No one's going to harm you." This time Daniel tried to coax Vala out of hiding.
"No, You're Goa'ulds. You're trying to trick me. GO AWAY." The stern small voice came from the other side. Daniel and Carolyn sighed, they had some notion this might happen.
"You two keep trying to get her to come out. I have a phone call to make." With a sigh of his own, Landry walked out of the infirmary, and back down to his office. It was always the quiet days that were dangerous.
-4 hours later-
Sam sat just outside Dr. Lam's office with a tray of food for Vala, who had requested the refreshment. But she had refused to come out if there was someone outside waiting to snatch her in the act of taking the food.
"Just leave it in front of the door, and walk away lady." Vala ordered. Sam set down the tray and walked away, but not out the door. So when Vala unclick the lock, Sam sprang into action. She grabbed Vala, up, and then scouted the tray inside the office. Vala was kicking and screaming like a madwoman…or child in her case.
"PUT ME DOWN!" she shrieked, and beat her fists against Sam's back. Once Sam had everything inside the office, the door blocked and Vala on the ground, the angry child calmed somewhat, but was still steaming.
"Now, see I wouldn't have had to do that if you would've just come out and talked to us. So now, we have to talk in here, where I have you trapped." Sam smiled triumphantly. "Now what's you're name?" Sam already knew, but she wanted to make sure Vala still knew.
"It's Vala. Vala Mal Doran." She answered, and stole the tray of food away from the ground at Sam's feet.
"Vala, how old are you?"
"I'm 6 and half. How old are you?" She replied, as she started to munch on the PB&J sandwich. "What is this? We don't have this on Sitara." Obviously impressed by the sandwich, she started taking it apart. The contents of the sandwich orange/brown, and some weird substance that was purple.
"6 and half. Good age." Sam took a seat in front of the door. Vala seemed to be more comfortable with Sam now. "It's peanut butter and jelly. It's something we have here on earth. Sitara? Is that where you lived?"
"You would know where I lived. You're a Goa'uld aren't you?" Vala hissed. After inspecting the sandwich she further proceeded to finish eating it.
"Oh gosh no. No one here is a Goa'uld. Everyone here despises the Goa'uld. We're the Tau'ri, or humans." Sam replied correcting the little girl. Vala's eyes got wide with excitement.
"The Tau'ri. I've heard of them. But they were under Ra, aren't you?" Sam had to hand it to Vala; she was a smart little kid.
"No we overthrew him, a long time ago. Now do you trust me enough, to take you out of here?" Sam asked standing up and holding her hand out to Vala. Vala stared at her tray, but nodded her head. She carefully took Sam's hand, incase Sam had any more surprises planned for her.
"No more picking me up though." She said sternly, and opened the door, where a few nurses were.
