A/N: this is one of my favorite chapters becuase of the emotion involved with Rebecca. I really didn't develop her until this chapter becuase all she was worried about was her parents but how will she react if she is helpless to save her parents? What will happen then? Continue reading if you wish to find the answers adn Enjoy. Thanks for the reviews.

"Rebecca, are you all right?" Janet asked when she saw the young girl walk in with Hammond behind her. Rebecca's face was dry but Janet could tell she was about to cry and she knew why. Hammond had told her the news earlier that day and he had planned on telling Rebecca later on the next day but it seemed she had found out all ready.

As if it was instinct Jake went to Rebecca's side and led her to one of the examining beds, where they both sat, with his arm around her shoulders and her head on his shoulders.

"Becca what's wrong?" Jake asked for his mom hadn't told him the news yet.

"General Hammond….said that my parents are….missing in action…..along with Dr. Jackson." Rebecca said in between sobs that she could no longer hold in. She was trying not to cry becuase she thought she had to be strong but with Jake with her all her feelings of being strong and independent melted away. Jake in composed his friend in a hug, which seemed to make her feel better. Rebecca had never thought of Jake as a boy friend before but that could change.

"Rebecca, MIA doesn't mean we don't stop looking." Janet said lovingly as she gently stroked the girl's brown hair.

Rebecca dried her tears as she sat up saying, "General, you're still looking for them?"

"Yes, Rebecca we are. Now if you will excuse me I have work to do." Hammond said as he walked out of the room before he could see the look on Rebecca's face. Jake saw it first and knew what she was thinking so he said, "Rebecca we can't. No way will they let us."
"Why not Jake? Give me one good reason why we can't?" Rebecca said drying her eyes as she sat up right.

"Because we don't know what we'd be getting ourselves into and you know it. Let General Hammond handle this."

Rebecca simply shook her head and without any words, she ran out of the infirmary. Jake was going to follow her when his mom pulled his arm and before she could even get the question out Jake said, "Rebecca wants to go find her parents and dad herself."

"She can't do that." Janet said thinking about what SG-1 may have gotten themselves into this time.

"I know that and so does she but that ain't gonna stop her from trying." Jake said hugging his mom and then running after Rebecca.

Jake finally caught up with Rebecca in General Hammond's office. He walked in to the office to see Rebecca, with her wet pleading face, standing across from Hammond's desk, with the General sitting behind it.

"Please, General, let me help look for my parents."

"I'm sorry Rebecca but the Air Force can't put a civilian's life on the line."

"My father is a civilian." Jake said thinking that Hammond used the wrong words. Hammond nodded, sighed and said, "I can't put the life of a teenager on the line, Rebecca, I'm sorry."

In frustration Rebecca left the office and went into the Briefing room where she stopped dead in her tracks. She saw a huge metal ring that had symbols on it that she had never seen before.

"What the hell is this ?" Rebecca asked as Jake and Hammond walked into the briefing room and in front of the window.

"That would be what gets you're parents to other planets." General Hammond said knowing her couldn't hide the truth any longer.

"Wait a second." Jake said before Rebecca could, "You're telling us that our parents aren't even on THIS planet?"

Hammond simply nodded his head and said, "This device is called the Stargate and Major Carter, Colonel O'Neill and Dr. Jackson travel threw it to go to other worlds."

"Why?" Jake asked

"To explore the galaxy in search of technology that will help us defeat the Goa'uld."

"Okay you lost me." Rebecca said, "What's a Goa'uld?"

"Maybe you'd like to sit down, it's a long story."
