Sorry, but I have correction to make from the previous chapter. Jack is supposed to throw the GDO to Sam, not Daniel. Sorry, it was late and I was sleepy n.n
"You'll need this." Jack pulled something from the inside of the front of his pants and threw it to Sam. She caught it, but then—realizing where it had been—she quickly tossed it onto the bed. It was a GDO. "Oh, chill. It went no further than my pants. I had to put it somewhere they wouldn't find it." …(and then the rest of the chapter)…
……...
(a little while after they have rested some and Daniel has explained the meaning of the Adriatic on Earth)
"That is very interesting, Daniel Jackson. You see, the Mar Adriatic also has a river to it which we use to smuggle weapons to our agents above ground. In fact, that is how we plan to get to the surface to fight. With the current, it's only a few minutes until you reach the point where you disembark."
A man came running up to Duke. "Duke! There is word that a prison inspection will occur in two hours."
Duke nodded. "And these four will definitely be missed." He turned to SG-1. "After the inspection, return here. You will go through the same people, but you won't be interrogated like you were before."
Februus's jaffa only glanced in the prison, and once they saw SG-1, they left. Adiran sighed. "You got here just in time." Whispering, he asked, "Did you contact Duke?"
"After a hell of a lot of trouble, yes."
"And the Adriatic."
"We got in. Thanks for your help."
"It was no problem. When do you go back?"
"Right about now."
Adiran patted Jack on the shoulder. "Good luck."
(1.5 days later…)
"Unscheduled off-world activation," announced Walter over the intercom as the alarm went off. "It's SG-10, sir," he told Hammond.
"Open the iris." Hammond rushed down and into the gateroom. "SG-10, glad to see you safe and sound. Where is SG-16?"
"They're back on the planet finishing things up. They'll continue to check in at pre-designated times."
"Good job. And welcome home—"
The alarm went off again. "Unscheduled off-world activation." Hammond and SG-10 backed up and allowed the security force to re-take their positions. "Sir! It's SG-1!"
"Open the iris!"
Sam rushed through the gate and collapsed on the platform, out of breath. She was wearing civilian clothes from the planet.
"Carter! Where is the rest of your team?"
"They're back on the planet, sir."
Hammond looked Sam over. She looked exhausted. "Get some food and rest then—"
"Sorry, sir, but I need to talk to you now."
"Very well. Meet me in the debriefing room, but I want you to bring some food with you in there so you can refresh yourself while you debrief me. Understood?"
"Yes, sir." She glanced at SG-10. "I'd like SG-10 to join us, if they don't mind."
(40 minutes earlier (than the 1.5 days later skip))
Duke handed SG-1 Nevondan clothes, then gave each of them a detailed map of the city. "Are you all prepared to fight?"
"Actually," said Jack, "there's been a slight change of plans, but don't worry, I think you'll like it. See, Carter is going to the Stargate, go back to our planet, and come back with some more help."
"Excellent!"
"You said there are only like two-hundred jaffa, right?"
"Two-hundred twelve."
"With your eighty, and our guns... this should be easy. Carter, how long do you figure it'll take you."
Sam worked it all out in her head—at least as far as what she was tasked to accomplish. "It'll take a few minutes to get the boat ready, a few minutes to go down the river, and a few minutes to get to the surface. That's about ten minutes right there. While in hiding, even in civilian clothes, I imagine it would take me around fifteen minutes to get to the gate. Intel says that there are only ten Jaffa guarding the gate, so with the hiding place I've selected combined with me having two zats, I think the total trip between here and actually dialing the gate will be thirty minutes."
"And it'll take about another half-hour for General Hammond to clear everything and get support prepared," added Daniel.
"So an hour before help comes," concluded Jack. "Doesn't sound too bad. Duke?"
"Sounds good to me—" There was a screeching alarm.
"What the hell is that!" Jack yelled over the noise.
"We are being attacked!"
"Where?"
A messenger ran up to Duke. "Sir, attackers at the docks! They're Februus's Jaffa! Fifty of them!"
SG-1 ran to the docks to try and help defend, but it was no use. They had to retreat to the boats hidden further down the coast. They tried to frantically load the boats. "Sam, go now! Get to the Stargate!"
"Yes, sir!"
Jack watched Sam and her guide slip into the darkness as she threw the Nevondan clothes on top of her SGC uniform. They finally got the boats loaded and launched. They had lost almost twenty Adriatic soldiers. The Jaffa tried to follow, but were inexperienced with the river. Jack figured they were lost in the river, but just to be safe, he used some C4 to block the exit. "Sorry, Duke, but it has to be done."
Duke nodded. "I would have done the same."
After they had all fled to a secure and defendable location, Jack plopped down and leaned against the wall. "Okay, it's not so easy…"
Duke shook his head, addressing the question that everyone was thinking: "How did they find us."
Several looked at SG-1 accusingly. "What? We didn't—"
Staff weapon blasts bombarded them. A few suggested leaving the Earthlings to die. Duke quickly took control of the situation. He led them to an underground tunnel. Jack was one of the last ones through. He cried out in pain as a blast glazed his shoulder, but still made his way down the tunnel. Upon Duke's request, Teal'c used a small amount of C4 to close the tunnel entrance while Daniel looked at Jack's wound.
Duke ran his mucky hands through his greasy hair. "I don't understand how they keep finding us…"
Daniel pulled out the rubbing alcohol. "This is going to hurt—"
"HOLY SHIT!"
"Sorry."
Jack pounded his fist against the tunnel wall. "So how bad is it?" There was silence. "Daniel!"
"…Oh no…"
"What the hell is it, Jackson!"
Daniel held up the charred remains of a small Goa'uld tracking device. "Adiran must have put it on you when he slapped your shoulder. He's been playing us the entire time."
A/N: I would like to thank WingedIsis16 and E. Nagrom for reviewing. It means a lot. So yeah, thanks n.n
