"Sam is one amazing women. Considering the amount of tranquillizer drug that was in her, she should be dead. I've got her on an IV; all we can do now is wait. In the next twenty four hours we should know then, hopefully most of the drug will be out of her system by then"
"Can we see her?"
"In a few minutes, I'll go back and check on her. I'll let you know when you can see her, although she is a sleep"
"Thanks doc" Jack said. Janet left to check on Sam and find out what room she was in.
Major Davis contacted the Joint Chiefs of Staff to give them the latest up date on Sam's condition. Fifteen minutes later, they were shown to her room. There were two guards posted outside her door.
When they walked in, they could see how pale she looked. Jack went and sat down next to her bed and lifted her left hand where her rings were and looked at her.
"Jack, she is going to be ok"
"I hope so. We have to do is get the bastards who did this to her"
"Don't worry Jack we will" Hammond said.
Then the door opened and they all turned to see the President and the Joint Chiefs of Staff walked into the room.
"How is Major Carter doing?" the President asked,
"It's going to be touch and go for the next twenty four hours Sir" Janet said.
"Do you know what the cause was?"
"Yes, it was the tranquilizer darts. There was enough of the drugs in her system to take down two elephants. How she survived this long, I don't know. All we can do is get it out of her system, but it will take time. I'm not sure what affects it will have on the her major organs"
"I see. Well, since we are all here, I might as well find out what happened"
"Sir, Sam already did her report. It's on her laptop" Jack said.
"Ok, who's going to start first?"
Hammond started telling them about the threats he received, what happened to his granddaughters, every thing. They took turns in telling them about what had happened. Two hours later, the Joint Chief of Staff and the President understood what had happened.
"Sir, what's going to happen to Jack and Sam? Will they be Court Martialed?" Daniel asked,
"From what you all just told us and since Major Carter wasn't under your command Colonel O'Neill, you two are safe, but it does pose a problem"
"SG1"
"Yes, I'm afraid Major Carter will have to be transferred to somewhere else" the general said
"Those bastards will win again" Jack said, not taking his eyes off Sam
"What do you mean Colonel?"
"They been trying to split SG1 up for years sir. Now they have done it and SG1 will never be the same again" Daniel said
"I'm sorry, I wish there was something I could do, but you all know the rules"
