"Okay, Jacob, how do you suggest we get ourselves out of this mess?" Oh, Jack was pissed now. They were being held in what was essentially a Goa'uld storage closet, with little room to breathe, much less move around. They still hadn't had their chance to meet this new Goa'uld, but he had a feeling he already knew who it was.
"I recognized a few of the Jaffa, Jack. I believe we may be able to overtake them and escape. We just have to wait until they return with food," Jacob answered, equally as annoyed. He couldn't believe they had let themselves get captured on such an important mission, and without a shot ever being fired even. Frustrated with himself, Jacob kicked the wall.
Jack leaned into the corner and slid down to the floor. If they didn't get out of this, he would never see Sam again and that was unacceptable. He rolled his head through his hands, sighing loudly. Jacob sat down next to the man, laying his hand on his shoulder. He looked up making sure Daniel and Teal'c were across the room and not paying attention to them.
"Jack, you okay?" He knew the answer to the question just by looking at the CO of SG-1, but it was an opening to the conversation he really didn't want to have.
"We have to get out of here," Jack answered. He fiddled with his knife, spinning the point on the ground.
"I know. We will, but what's up?"
"I, uh, heard from Sam." Jack cringed. He'd wanted to have this conversation with Jacob in private. He leaned his head back against the wall, shutting his eyes tightly.
"Why didn't you say anything!" Jacob practically shouted.
"Because we're only guessing that it's her. I got a memo on the base, came from her lab. There was no message, just some songs attached to the file. They came from Memphis, TN." Jack let a small smile flit across his face for a moment before hiding it again. "Hailey traced the tap. If we try to find her she'll just run again."
Jacob and Jack sprung up at the sound of approaching footsteps. The door flew open revealing three Jaffa, staff weapons at the ready, to escort the prisoners to the Goa'uld's chambers. Jacob nodded to the group to follow without complaint. The halls were empty of the normal Jaffa guard, seeming almost void of life.
Teal'c stepped up to whisper in Jack's ear. "There are very few Jaffa present, O'Neill."
"I noticed. Just follow Jacob's example." They approached the chambers slowly, waiting for the Jaffa to open the door. Facing them as they entered was Nathan Tanner.
