Chapter 6- The little dog's Triumphant hour
Jack ran into the room and let Smartie loose, Smartie ran and jumped straight onto the bed waking the occupant with a start
"AARGH" Danny said sleepily and tried to sit up only to be pinned down and licked by a small white fluffy German Sheppard
"Come here boy" Jack said while laughing panting his leg. Smartie looked straight up at Jack and looked into his eyes he woofed happily and ran straight at Jack. He jumped up and tried to lick his face but failed miserably and got dog drool all over his t-shirt.
"Come on Smartie, let's go for a run" he said attaching his leash back on
"Hey, why did I get woken up and not Sam" But Jack either ignored him or didn't hear him. Jack ran down the corridor and ran straight into Teal'c, Teal'c's a big fellow (AN- as we all know) and so Jack went flying and naturally he landed on his ass.
"Are you injured O'Neill" Teal'c asked helping Jack up
"Nah I'm ok T" he replied, while Smartie decided to jump up at Teal'c
"Why is this dog attacking me O'Neill?" Teal'c asked picking him up only to be licked on by smartie
"He's not attacking you T, he's saying hi" he said, so Teal'c stroked Smartie only to be licked on the nose.
"Indeed, Is DanielJackson awake O'Neill?" Teal'c asked knowing if Smartie greeted Teal'c that way, then Jack would have used that to his full advantage: Teasing Danny. Jack nodded
"What about SammyCarter?" he asked again
"Don't know, I let her sleep" he said while shrugging, Teal'c raised an eyebrow, in the usual Teal'c way,
"So T, what bring you down here?" Teal'c then swung the bag out from behind his back, Jack's face lit up
"Awesome Teal'c, nice one" he said looking in the bag while Smartie naturally continued to lick Teal'c until Teal'c had enough, he put Smartie down who automatically went to Jack and began sniffing what his new best friend was looking at
"Hang on Teal'c, where the ice cream?" he asked while he continued to search for the Ben and Jerry's
"I have taken the Ben and Jerry's ice cream as a fee for my services O'Neill" he said, Jack's grin got wider and Smartie woofed
"Thanks Teal'c" he said pulling out the cake
"You wanna join us, I'll wake Sammy and bring Danny and we can watch TV.
"Indeed I would O'Neill" he said nodding his head, Jack picked up the bag, knocked and walked into Sammy's room. Jack walked over to Sammy's bed and gently shook her awake
"Sam, wakey wakey, come on I got jelo!" he said with a smile
"How do you know SammyCarter will like Jelo?" Teal'c asked
"I dunno, just a feeling" Jack said,
"How would Jack know that, if he had never met SammyCarter before that day in the temple, maybe something of the old Jack O'Neill was still left?" Teal'c's thoughts were interrupted by a groan from Sammy
"I don't wanna go to school Dad!" she said sleepily. Jack snorted
"Like I'd go to school when were on a cool air force base, now get up Sammy" he said more firmly
"What? Oh I'm awake. Morning Jack, what time is it?"
"Umm 7:45" Sammy groaned again, then Smartie bounded across the room from his position sat next to Teal'c and straight onto Sam, licking her, which made her laugh
"Oh wow! A puppy. Whose is it?" she asked while stroking his belly
"Mine. His name is Smartie" Sammy giggled again when Smartie licked her face
"Smartie! Down!" Jack said. Smartie looked at him then actually got down of the bed and sat at Jack's feet.
"Good boy" Jack said smiling he took the bag of treats out of his pocket and gave 2 to smartie, while Smartie ate his treats and got his belly tickled by Jack, Sam brushed her hear and went to the toilet
"What's in the bag Jack?" she asked while walking out of the bathroom door
"Oh, um; Jelo, Cake, fruit loops and there was some ice cream, but T ate that", he said pointing at Teal'c, Sam face lit up
"Did you say Jelo?" she asked and Jack nodded
"Come on then let's get Danny," she said walking out the door.
They walked into Danny's room without knocking, luckily for Danny; he was already dressed and sat on his bed reading a book on the Norse god Thor
"Hey guys, what's up?" he asked putting his book down
"JACK GOT JELO!" Sam shouted excitedly while jumping up and down on the spot. Smartie, recognising the excitement, started jump up and down as well while barking loudly
"Smartie" Jack said again, and Smartie stopped and sat, waiting for his treat
Oh come on I did what I was told where's my treat
And sure enough Smarties treat came, well 2 treats came, but he didn't really care
"Come on Danny, I'm hungry" Sam whined
"Fine" Danny said walking out the room Sam followed. Jack handed the bag over to Teal'c
"Save me some cake and Fruit Loops, T, I'll be there in a minute "he said, Teal'c bowed his head and walked out of Danny's room. Jack walked over to Danny's bed and picked up the book on Thor, he stuffed the book under his t-shirt, so no- one would see that Jack would actually read a book on history and walked out of the room.
He walked into his room to see Sammy eating Blue jelo and Danny eating a bowl of fruit loops. Teal'c on the other hand was sat there stroking the sleeping form of Smartie, Jack smiled at his dog asleep on hard man Teal'c, Jack saw a soft side in Teal'c that many probably wouldn't see. He walked over to his bed and pulled out the book, he stuffed it under the covers and decided to read it later when no-one else was around. He sat down next to Teal'c and poured himself a bowl of fruit loops, because Jack didn't have time to grab any milk the fruit loops were a bit dry but Jack like them that way, his attention was drawn away from his breakfast and towards the TV, there wasn't anything very exciting on TV, but they watched it anyway. They continue d to watch and eat for about 10 more minutes when Smartie finally decided to wake up, he ran up to Jack and sat straight on his leg, that's when Janet came
"Good morning guys, do you want to go to breakfast" she trailed of as she saw the scene before her, there sat in front of her was Teal'c sat next to Jack with what looked to her as a white German Sheppard puppy. Then lying down on the floor was Sam eating blue Jelo and Danny with a bowl of fruit loops.
"Teal'c I thought I told you to put the food back" Janet said
"Indeed you did DoctorFraiser, I will put it back after we have finished, you did not specify the time in which to put the rest back" he said, everyone new he was lying
"Jack, considering you've already eaten I think its time for your check-up" Jack's face paled,
"But Doc, um, I, can we re-schedule" he said smiling weakly
"No, now move it" Janet said putting her hands in her hips, Jack got up sulkily and walked out, Smartie followed at his side, Up until the infirmary door
"Oh no, he is not coming in." Janet said
"Oh come on Doc, let him in, he'll get lonely" Jack tried
"Absolutely not Jack, I can't allow him in"
"Please," he gave her the puppy dog eyes
"Oh god not the eyes please not the eyes, Oh god no wonder Sam is head over the heels in love with him" she pleaded in her head
"Oh fine but keep him of the beds" Janet finally gave in as Jack walked into the infirmary with Smartie at his heels, on the leash of course. Jack went and hopped up onto the bed, Smartie joined him. Jack happily stroked his dog, thinking of Janet's reaction when she sees Smartie on her beds
"JACK O'NEILL GET THE DOG OF MY BED NOW" Janet shouted
"Nope" he said
"Oh were not starting this again" She said
"Nope"
"Fine" she said, and put her hand into her pocket and pulled out a needle, Jack visibly paled
"Smartie down," he said quickly
"Your still going to get the shot Jack," Jack got of the bed and ran, smartie followed
"Damnit the man has not changed" she thought as you ran off after him ordering the
SF to call General Hammond and start his own search
"Now I'm dead" Jack thought as he continued to run. He heard the familiar barking of Smartie and stopped, Smartie skidded and Jack's leg.
Damnit Jack, I was running Smartie thought angrily, until Jack bent down and untied the leash
"Cat have you tripping over now can we buddy?" he said to the small dog, the dog woofed happily
"Let's go"" he said and ran off, Smartie following close behind him. He ran up the stairs and through the lab corridors and towards the elevators. He still had the swipe card he nicked and once again jumped up and swiped the key card. The Elevator doors opened to reveal Colonel Simmons
"Well, Well, you must be Jack O'Neill," he said a sneer in his voice
"Yeah what's it to you?" he asked
"Nothing, but I have my orders" he said, and stepped to the side as a strong looking man, just a bit smaller that Teal'c came and made a grab for Jack
"Holy Shit" Jack said and tried to run only to be grabbed by the arm
"Don't struggle, Jack, it'll only hurt more." Simmons said, while preparing a syringe and the muscle man tightened his grip, Simmons walked over to Jack and rolled up his sleeve
"Don't you stick the bloody thing in me" Jack shouted. Then Smartie leaped, he leaped straight onto the muscle man, who Jack had named dumbass, and bit him as hard as his little teeth could, 'dumbass' yelled in pain as the teeth penetrated his skin drawing blood, 'dumbass' released his grip on Jack who was now scared shitless and watched in horror as his little dog leapt forth onto Simmons but Simmons was quicker and stuck the needle into Smartie. Smartie yelped in pain and fell to ground as near to Jack as possible within seconds Smartie was out cold
"SMARTIE" Jack yelled as he watched his little dog fall, tears where now in Jack's eyes as he ran over to his dog checking him over. Jack was no vet so he pulled the syringe out and checked for a pulse. From the first aid training he received at school, which wasn't a lot, he checked the dog paw/wrist for a pulse. He couldn't find one. Jack gulped and picked the limp form of Smartie up and bundled him into his arms. Unfortunately as he went to turn around he turned to see Simmons preparing another Syringe and 'dumbass' getting up and walking towards him. He ran straight at 'dumbass' and slid right under his legs, Smartie still in his arms. He continued to run, until he got to the stairs, he ran up the stairs, keeping a tight hold on Smartie. He felt a grip on his leg and Jack lost his step , he fell down and smashed his head on the stairs, he cried out as he landed on Smartie, he kicked out at 'dumbass' and his foot landed in his face. He quickly got up and ran, he managed to hold smartie in one arm while he reached out and touched his head, and he brought his hand back down to reveal blood on his hands. He scrunched his hand together and put smartie back in both his arms. He continued to run up the stairs until he reached the control room, he ran straight through the SF's until he ran into the gate room. There stood the Stargate, it stood there tall and proud with the iris closed. Suddenly the doors open and there stood a very pissed of 'Dumbass' and Simmons, Jack backed away across the room as Simmons and 'Dumbass' followed. He ran through the doors, Walter and Siler, were sat in the control rooms, they watched as Jack carried the limp dog and was followed by Colonel Simmons and Some big guy who looked pissed and strangely had a red mark on his face in the shape of a foot, they got on the phone with General Hammond when Jack ran through the room and up the stairs. The watched again ad Simmons and the big guy followed
"Hey you can't go up there" sgt Siler said
"I can do what I want Sgt" Simmons sneered as he went up the stairs and followed Jack, Siler grabbed the phone
Jack ran up the stairs, he knew he was still being chased, he reached the top of the stairs, stopping quickly to check on Smartie, he still wasn't responding. When he saw Hammond in his office on a red phone, he ran towards Hammond's office opened the door and slammed the door behind him. Hammond looked mad yet confused but the anger quickly disappeared as Jack fell to the floor, blood still seeping from the deep cut on his head , and Smartie's still form beside him
"Mr President, I'll have to call you back" he said down the phone and slammed it down, he then picked up a different phone and said
"Get me a medical team to my office now, and make that security as well" he said as he watched Simmons and a giant man walk behind him, he looked down at Jack who was now awake and looking at Smartie tears in his eyes, George walked over to Jack and placed a had on his shoulder
"What happened?" he asked
"I dunno, I went to the lift after running out on Janet, I didn't want a shot I've had loads of them. And when the lift opened this guy grabbed me and he other one tried to inject me with something, when Smartie attacked he bit one of them but the other guy injected him with something an can't find a pulse" he said he was now crying, the older Jack O'Neill can control his emotions and hide them, but the younger one can't. Hammond left Jack crying and walked over to Smartie, he had only introduced Jack and Smartie to each other that morning but they had quickly bonded, he bent down and went for Smartie's neck, he did find a pulse a, weak one, but there was one
"He's alive" Hammond said bluntly
"Really" Jack said weakly
"Come here I'll show you" he said as Jack walked over and placed his hand on Smarties neck, he smiled as he felt a pulse but the smile quickly vanished as Simmons walked into the room. . Jack quickly grabbed Smartie and put him into his arms
"What the hell are you doing in my base, colonel? General Hammond asked pissed
Off
"I have orders to take SG1 into custody"
"Your will do know such thing"
"Sir, I have my orders"
"I don't care, now get the hell off my base"
"Not without SG1" 'Dumbass' went to reach for Jack, luckily the security teams arrived as did Teal'c,
"Airman make sure, you see them off base and DON'T let them back in "he ordered while the airman forcibly removed Simmons and 'Dumbass'. Jack carefully placed Smartie on Hammond's desk and lost consciousness. Teal'c luckily was quick enough to catch him. Then Janet arrived, seeing the gash on his head she immediately started asking questions
"What the hell happened?" she asked
"Simmons tried to take Jack."
"And Smartie?"
"They injected him with, well I think it was anaesthetic" Janet paled
"Anaesthetic is lethal to dogs, we better call a vet. Teal'c take him to the infirmary" She turned to the General
"Sir I suggest you should put a guard with Sammy and Danny, just in case." Hammond nodded
"Why is his head still bleeding?" he asked as he looks at the floor which was covered in blood
"He had a clotting problem when he was younger, so it's probably that and exhaustion, he ran out on me half and hour ago, so he probably was running the whole time" she finished
"Okay, Doctor, go fix him up" Hammond ordered and Janet walked out of the door
Jack awoke to bright lights and Doctor Frasier
"Smartie"" he cried out but was pushed back down again by Doctor Frasier
"Where's my dog?" he asked, Janet looked away
"He's dead isn't he?" Jack said tears in his eyes
"No!" Janet said quickly, and she saw a glimmer of hope in Jack's chocolate brown eyes
"He's in a coma Jack. It doesn't look good" Janet said sadly
"Can I see him?" Jack asked desperately
"Maybe later, you need rest" she said writing something on her clipboard, and walked away
Jack sat there in shock, he'd only known Smartie for less than a day, but they'd formed a bond, a bond that can't be broke. Jack loved Smartie, but Jack may never see Smartie woof at him again, feed him treats or take him for a run. He might not be able to play fetch with him actually take him home and show his big brother
"Stop it Jack, he's not dead" he thought angrily to himself. So he got up and noticed he was actually attached to another one of those polls, this time though, he dragged the pole with him , he dragged it along the corridor and past the VIP sweets, he looked in each room for his little dog, but when he reached the all but last door, he saw him lying on a bed, there were various wires attached to him and the soft beep of the heart rate monitor.
He cautiously walked into the room and walked over to him, he pulled up asleep and sat down
"Hey, little buddy it's time to get up" No reply
"I've got treats" No reply
"Come on Smartie, you're my best friend, wake up" Jack said voice shaking. No reply
"This is all my fault" he said to himself bowing his head, he slowly reached out to Smartie and ran his hand along Smartie's small body, he continued to stroke the small dog, until he dropped his head and laid on the bed, slowly drifting on to sleep along side his little dog.
AN- I'm sorry, for doing this to the little guy, but now Smartiesa little doggy hero
anway lots more to come, i know i've been slow but i've had school
and finally in answer to immortalwizardpirateelf-fan's question: to be honest i've never thought about it, but my answer is yes. It was Teal'c's symbiote that let him keephis memories, well they all still have their memories it's just Teal'c's symbiote blocks the chemical that keeps those memories back
