"Leave us!" The Goa'uld shouted to the Jaffa in his presence. His First Prime bowed and lead his troops out of the room, leaving the group alone with Tanner.
"I am dreadfully sorry. I've had to keep up the pretense of being Goa'uld. Some of my Jaffa are still not loyal to the rebellion." Tanner stood, pacing the room. He approached Jack, lowering his head, but keeping the symbiote in control. "I knew the Asgard would help you at our first meeting."
"What did you do to Major Carter?" Jack screamed in his face. He grabbed the lapels of the young man's uniform.
"Colonel O'Neill, I presume." The kid had taken control to talk to Jack. His symbiote had told him about the Colonel's dislike of "snakeheads". He forcibly removed Jack's hands from his lapels and stared him in the eye. "Major Carter saw what the Goa'uld had done. I had run to the car to put our leftovers away. When I returned he had already killed my family." Tears shone in Nathan's eyes as the Tok'ra took over once more.
"On a personal note, I must apologize for the danger I put you in and the pain I caused you, Jack." Nathan sat back down in the chair, motioning for the rest to gather around.
"Who are you?" Jack asked warily. The fact that a youngster had called him Jack rubbed him the wrong way. Wait, a youngster? Damn, he was getting old.
"Jacob, could you please keep an eye on Colonel O'Neill?" The Tok'ra nodded towards them. Jacob nodded back. "I am Levi. I managed to make it back to Earth, but my mission was to find the Goa'uld implanted into a human on earth. The Tanners were neighbors to a Captain Gahrety. I tried to reach Major Carter as she ran, but I could not catch her. I am sorry she died."
Jack sat still, seething. Jacob kept his hand on his shoulder, not wanting Jack to overreact. He could see the hatred coursing through the younger man's veins.
"She's been hiding out for six months because she thinks you're Goa'uld and that the NID's after her! Were you going to contact anybody!" Jack lunged at the man, ready to rip the symbiote out of his head. Teal'c grabbed him, holding him down.
"Jack, come on, calm down." Daniel tried to calm his friend down. He could see the months of pain etched on Jack's face.
"Uh, Sir, this might be the break through we need," Hailey suddenly spoke up. he had remained silent throughout their ordeal, watching the interplay among the men. She knew from the mission reports and their few missions together that the team was close, but she hadn't imagined they were close enough to call each other out. She felt again the privilege of working with the greatest team in the SGC.
"Sir, we should let him continue on his mission. This could be the chance we need to deal a serious blow to the System Lords." Hailey rested a hand on Jack's other shoulder in comfort. She had listened to him talk about his experiences with the Tok'ra other than Jacob and she knew she had to quell his rage before he did something rash. His feelings towards Sam were going to seriously impair his judgment on this mission if he didn't calm down.
"Okay, Hailey. Levi, just get us home." Jack turned around and stalked to the corner of the room as far from the group as he could get. Why, of all the Tok'ra it could be, did it have to be one he'd never met and Jacob didn't vouch for? Wait, for that matter why hadn't Jacob said anything. He was about to get his answer whether he truly wanted it or not. Jacob moved and stood next to him in a heartbeat.
"Jack, I didn't know Levi was still alive. If I had, this whole situation could have been avoided. Don't you think I'm just as upset about this as you are? My little girl has been missing for six months, you're the only one she has sent a message to and now I find out that the Tok'ra have been involved all along. Let's just get home and concentrate on finding Sam." Jacob led a forlorn Jack back to where they had been discussing their departure.
"You will be escorted out by some of our loyal Jaffa and lead through the Gate. We'll take you to an uninhabited planet incase the others try to follow. You will be able to make it back to the SGC from there." Levi called his First Prime back into the room directing him to take the "prisoners" to the Gate and sent away.
