I'm back! Sorry, I'm a little busy today. I've tried to make this turn out all right, but I don't know. What do you think? I don't own Cameron, or anyone else, but who cares about anyone else? No, just kidding. It just wouldn't be the same without Sam, Teal'c, and Daniel. I still miss Jack, Janet, and Hammond, though...Here it is!

Chapter 9

He heard voices. They wouldn't shut up. And he was tired. Cameron slowly opened his eyes to see Daniel and Sam talking with each other, most likely arguing, then spotted Teal'c watching them with a smirk on his face on the other side of the room.

"I'm tryin' to sleep, here," Cameron joked. They all looked at him, quieting down. "I'm kidding, you guys," he told them, seeing the guilt on their faces. He couldn't help but to laugh.

"Colonol Mitchell. How are you feeling?" asked Teal'c, standing from his chair.

"I'm tired, and my stomach hurts. How are you?" he said quietly.

"I am well," he answered.

Cameron turned to Daniel, who was about to say something before Mitchell spoke up. "Before you chew me out, I'd like to say that I...well, I tried to save Teal'c. It's thought that counts, right?"

"No, it's your life, Mitchell. You could've been killed," said Daniel. "But," he continued, "you weren't. So I can at least congratulate you on that account."

"Thanks, Babe. That means a lot to me," Cameron said.

"Don't call me that," said Daniel.

Sam just laughed. "May I say something before this turns into a catfight?" she asked the two. "We went back to the planet, Cameron. The Goa'uld had laready taken off."

"What about the goat guy? Chiron?" asked Cameron.

Sam didn't answer. Cameron looked at Teal'c.

"He was taken by the Goa'uld. He could not escape them, unfortunately," said Teal'c.

Cameron looked up at the ceiling and closed his eyes. The pain was starting to take its toll on him, now.

"Mitchell?" he heard Daniel say. He didn't answer for a moment, but then shifted his body into a sitting position. A painful sitting position.

"Cam, what are you doing?" asked Sam.

"He could still be alive. We need to find him. Or we could at least try. His capture is partly our fault. And it's partly the Goa'uld's. I need to talk to Landry," he told Sam.

"You need to sleep, Mitchell," said Daniel.

"He is correct, Colonol Mitchell. You should rest," said Teal'c.

Cameron thought for a moment. They weren't going to let him go unless he listened. "Fine. But when I wake up, I want to see Landry. This is important. His life is in danger, and it's our responsibility to save it."

As they filed out of the room, he lied back down on the bed and closed his eyes. About a minute passed by before he realized he wasn't alone. He opened his eyes to find Teal'c beside him.

"I believe I have not thanked you properly, Colonol Mitchell," said Teal'c.

"There's nothing to thank me for, Teal'c. You saved my life, not the other way around," said Mitchell.

"You may think that, Colonol Mitchell. But I do not. I know that your intentions were good, and you saved my life in the cave on that planet, if you have forgotten about that," said Teal'c.

"So we're even. It's been a long day, Teal'c. Go get some sleep," said Cameron. "And thanks to you," he added.

"I will rest," he told Cameron, then left the room.

Once again, Cameron closed his eyes and fell into a dreamless sleep.

THE END

Well, that's the last chapter. I'm writing a sequel called Somebody's Knocking Part 2. Original, eh? Oh, yeah. All righty, then...It's a new adventure about how they're going to rescue Chiron, if he's even alive...it won't be out for a few days, though. I'm working on an Atlantis story called Warning: For Wraith Only, if you like Atlantis, also. Well, thanks for stickin' with me. Bie:0D
