Chapter 8
Jack bolted out of his seat as the constant beeping of the heart monitor turned into a continuous tone, the signal that her heart had stopped beating. He started yelling for help knowing that some of the medical staff that were running around talking care of various patients would here him. He was right, within seconds a number of nurses had filed into the tent followed closely by Janet, Jack was pushed away from Sams side and forced to watch as the crash cart was brought in, Teal'c ran into the tent and came to stand at his side, Jack could feel tears escaping his eyes as Teal'c placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Clear" Janet yelled and all the medical staff backed away from the bed, Sam's body jolted as Janet brought the panels down to her chest. One of the nurses then proceeded to pump oxygen into Sam's mouth. The constant tone of the heart monitor continued and Janet brought the panels back down to Sam's chest.
"Charge, Clear!"
Sam's body jolted once again but this time the constant tone turned back into the regular beeps it had been before. Everyone including Jack and Teal'c let out a deep breath in relief and Janet started giving orders, something to do with her medication. The medical staff all left the tent once again and Jack was back at Sam's side within seconds, he took her hand and looked at her face, she was unconscious now but at least she was alive.
Janet went back to her team who were still working on the cure; they were so close she could feel it. She went back to the test she had been conducting before the nurse had come running in to inform her that Sam had flat lined. She looked through her microscope at the blood sample she had been testing, there was nothing there. She grabbed another blood sample and looked through the microscope again, there were seven of the viral organisms in it, she added a small amount of the solution of various chemicals she had used on the last sample and watched through the microscope as the organisms in the blood were broken down at an unbelievable rate. She yelled over her team, she may actually have found the cure.
Jack was startled when Janet came running into the tent with a huge grin on her face, holding two syringes.
"I think we found it"
"The cure?" Jack asked not daring to get his hopes up.
"Yes, but I won't lie to you, there's no guarantee this is going to work and we have no idea if there will be any side affects" Jack nodded his head and Janet turned toward Sam and injected one of the syringes into her arm.
"All we can do now is wait, I'm going to give this to Daniel"
"Okay" Jack watched as Janet left the tent and then moved to Sam's side, lightly stroking her cheek and praying that she would be okay.
Janet walked into the Daniels tent and explained the situation to Teal'c whilst she injected the cure into Daniels arm. She looked at his face, he had lost consciousness about half an hour ago, only an hour after Sam, he hadn't flat lined like she had and for that much she was grateful.
"Don't give up on me" she whispered the words even though she knew Teal'c could hear her. She turned and left the tent to help dispense the cure to the other patients, normally she would have tested the cure before giving it to so many people but in this case most of those patients didn't have time to wait for tests so she had ordered it to be given to those patients who only had hours left, the rest would wait until it had been tested on the more desperate patients.
Half an hour later she returned to Daniels tent to find that nothing had changed yet, Teal'c was still sitting in his chair, how he had managed to sit there for the last two days Janet had no idea. He was obviously exhausted though, for that matter so was she and Jack, they hadn't slept since this has started. She went and sat on the edge of Daniels bed and waited for him to wake up, if he woke up.
