For my reviewers, thank you so much for reading and telling me what you think. Remember, reviews help me write faster. When people are reading, I am writing. Thanks again. Between high school and some early college courses I'm doing well to be writing at all. Kudos!
Linderse's POVI noticed immediately the puncture wounds in the alien's arms. There was a huge feeling in my heart that I needed to help him with those †gaping holes in his wrists. I stopped him and decided it was time to rest and take a break. I grabbed his arms and he almost screamed.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
"I need to wrap those puncture wounds. You must sit still or I cannot help you." I answered.
"Why are you helping me to escape?"
"Because it is the right thing to do and no one else will do it. Very few will even try to get you to the surface. Hey, you know my name. What's yours?" I asked this time.
"Jonas. It's very kind of you to assist me. I haven't been able to trust very many people lately. My story is very long so I won't bother telling it." He responded sadly.
"Don't worry about it. Let's go."
Jonas got up and came walking beside me as I led him out of the main tunnels. We walked in silence. He was thinking a lot. Anyone would have been able to see that. I was simply glad that his arms weren't bleeding profusely. It could have been worse.
Jonas's POVLinderse has been a good companion. I can't call her a friend 'cause I don't know her well enough. I've said it before, a lot of me died on Langaria and I'm not so naïve or careless. Careless probably isn't the right word. Maybe I should say that I was too quick in accepting people. So it is very safe to say that I'm more cautious.
These blue creatures are quite interesting in appearance. They walk on all fours or on two feet depending on their mood. Linderse uses her feet more. I'm glad because it makes her seem more human like. The others that walk on all four seem more like barbaric gorillas.
There is a light starting to form at the end of a tunnel but I can't tell if it's from a lamp or if it's the sun. Oh, please let it be the sun.
Jack's POVWe've been on the trail for hours and haven't found anything. Teal'c thought it would be best if we headed back to the gate and checked in with Hammond. The last thing I need is Dr. Hill finding out that I lost Jonas. She'll be furious. This is one checkup I am going to dread but I will be on time. She doesn't poke much. That's good, right?
Let's all hope that Jonas has found a way out of this mess 'cause I really don't know what to do. There is no trace on anything. Even Teal'c is clueless.
Teal'c POVO'Neill is very frustrated as much as am I. There are no answers to be found. This is one the hardest searches that I have conducted as a member of SG-1. It is seemingly impossible to know for sure what has happened.
There are no clues as whether he is alive or dead. All there is left to cling to is hope. Even that seems on the low side. My morale is definitely not high. I doubt that this will be settled easily.
Sam's POVDaniel and I found a cave that had prints all over it. Now I can only guess how the colonel is going to react to us leaving without telling him. Hell, we never even tried to contact him. But if he didn't find anything and we do, at least our leaving won't have been for nothing. At least something can come of this little run off of Daniel and I.
All I can say is that Jonas had better be somewhere around here. I just want to get him back and go home to wish that we had never come here. SG-1 is cursed. Maybe no one has ever said that but it's probably the truth. We never seem to have anything to go smoothly. That's our curse and it's sad that poor Jonas had to get dragged into it.
Daniel's POVYou should have seen the look on Sam's face when she spotted the tracks. She started yelling so hard. I couldn't help but smile. Well, it was a bit like this:
"Daniel, can you see all of this stuff?" She shouted.
"I see loud and clear."
"We might have found him." Sam continued to babble on like this for a while.
The truth is that we only found a little something that might help us find him. I can't predict anything in the future. But her hope seems a little higher but the pain is still out weighing the good by a long shot. We can only wait and hope that Jack doesn't kill us for this little stunt that we pulled by running off.
General Hammond's POVIt came as quite a shock for me when Jack reported that they would be staying a little longer than planned. All he mentioned was that Jonas had run off somewhere though I feel there was a lie in it. But he did make me promise not to tell Dr. Hill. I don't understand why he made me promise but I can say that I will keep it.
Whatever trouble they have gotten themselves into, they will find a way out. That is one of the most notable things that SG-1 is known for. They get into trouble but always come back alive. It's a wonder that they have survived for as long as they have. May this be just another mission gone wrong that will have a happy ending.
Linderse's POVWe have almost made it out. That doesn't mean that Jonas and I are out of danger from my people. I still have to return him safely. Hopefully, my people's foolishness will not result in retaliation from the aliens.
I highly doubt they would come after us. If they are anything like Jonas, I am sure everything will be all right. Let everyone hope for the best. It is time for peace and a proper settlement of troubling matters that has plagued my world. Remember what I said, the survivors of the war were forced to come together simply in the name of survival. My people did not come together out of friendship or much cooperation. It was simply a matter of selfish survival for us all.
