"Hey Jonas you ready?" Colonel Jack O'Neill asked his young friend who was sitting at his desk, nose in a book. Taken by surprise the Kelownan dropped the book and stared at Jack for a moment. O'Neill smirked."Must have been good." Hesaid watching as Jonas retrieved the book.
"Colonel...uh...ready for what?" He asked looking confused.
"You know all of us were supposed to go out to night, Hammond gave us permission, any way you comin'?"
"Uh sure." Jonas still looked a little perplexed.
"Great were leaven in twenty minutes"
TWENTY MINUTES LATER...
"So were we goin?" Carter asked from the passenger set next to Jack. "Just some place I know in town not much but hey its something."
Within a few minutes they arrived at a small restaurant with only about three cars parked out front."Alright kiddies we have arrived."
Everyone got out and Sam smirked at the small restaurant but she wasn't about to criticise Jacks choice of restaurants.
They entered the restaurant and took a set in a nearby booth."Hey order when your ready"Said ashort red headed waitress as she gave them each a menu. "Um excuse me can you tell me were the restroom is?" Jonas asked looking for some reason really anxious."Well sure hun its right down there to your left."
"Jonas you okay?" Jack asked looking somewhat worried.
"Yeah I just have to go."
Jack nodded and watched as his friend got up and walked away. "He look a little off to anyone?" Jack asked and Teal'c raised his trade mark eyebrow in a questioning way.
"Your right sir he did seem a little anxious." Carter said
"Indeed" Teal'c added.
"Maybe hes coming down with something?" Sam suggested.
"Maybe" Jack said not sounding convinced something was obviously wrong with his young friend, but what?
Jonas looked at himself in the bathroom mirror. Man why did he always fell anxious when he went out with his team. Maybe because he felt like he didn't belong. He side and turned just as to tall angry looking men entered the bathroom. Jonas tried to leave but one of them was blocking the door."Excuse me" Jonas said politely but the man didn't move.
"I'm sorry I didn't cache that." The man smirked and pulled out a long knife Jonas stepped back but ran into the other man that had also entered the bathroom. "Give me your wallet" the man holding the knife said harshly.
"I..I don't have one." He really didn't have one but obviously the guy didn't believe him.
"Give me a brake, Moe can you believe this guy, he comes into a restaurant with out his wallet, well ya know what,I don't believe you so hand it over!"
"I told you I don't have one!" Jonas said fear clearly showing inhis voice. The man, who was obviously Moe,shoved him from behind and Jonas gasped as he felt the blade pierce his stomach. He doubled over in pain as the men checked his pockets.
"Damn it he really didn't have one." The man said angrily and kicked Jonas hard in the shoulder.
"Lets get outta here." The man said gruffly and the two men left theroom.
Jack watched as two odd looking men entered therestaurants and he instantly didn't like them.
"Is something wrong O'Neil?" Teal'c asked fallowing his friends gaze.
"Yeah to bozos just entered the restaurant."
"Indeed, they do not look vary pleasant." Teal'c agreed watching as the two men took a seat.
Jack looked over at Sam who also looked a little worried.
"O'Neil the two have just left for the bathroom Jonas Quinn has yet to return."
Jack got quickly to his feet and left the booth only to run into a waitress who just happened to be caring dishes.
"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry!" The women gasped as Jack fell flat on his butt and the waitress dropped all the dishes.
"Sir are you alright?" Carter asked getting to her feet.
"Yeah I'm fine." He looked in the direction of the bathroom and watched as the two men that had entered the bathroom left in what looked like a hurry.
"Teal'c go after them, be careful I have a feeling something bad has happened.
Jonas lie on the cool floor of the bathroom not knowing what to do, it hurt like hell and he gasped as he tried to move. Where were the others? Did they know what happened to him?...Did they care? Jonas couldn't help but let that thought creep into his mind. What was he thinking of cores they cared, right...Jonas wanted to believe it but after what happened to Daniel... He swallowed his mouth suddenly filled with a weird taste and he gaged causing more pain to erupt from his stomach. Suddenly the bathroom door opened and he heard the familiar voice of Jack.
"Oh shit Jonas!"
Jack quickly got to his feet ignoring the pain in his wrist as he hurried to the bathroom. He flung open the door and was greeted with a horrible sight. There lie Jonas Quinn in a pool of blood a knife sticking out of his stomach.
"Oh shit Jonas!" He went over and knelt by his friend."Hang in there buddy CARTER!" he cried not caring who heard him.
Carter entered the room with out a moments hesitation, shed worry about being in the men's room later. She gasped as she saw the blood and Jonas lying in it."We need to get him back to the base now!"
"Sir don't you think we should..."
"Carter you know why we can't take him to a hospital hes..." Jack trailed off calling his friend an alien just didn't seem right at the moment.
Carter understood that but what were they going to do? She went over and joined Jack beside him."Damn it were gonna need Teal'c to move him." Jack said knowing that nether he nor Carter had the strength to Carry their friend properly. He checked his pulse which was begging to slow, they needed to move fast."Stay with him I'll be back." Carter nodded and grabbed a hold of Jonas' hand to try and comfort him as best she could.
"Hang in there Jonas." She whispered feeling tears well up in her eyes.
Jack ran outside and watched surprised as the two men actually threatened Teal'c with knifes well at least one knife.
"If you wish me to harm you I will." Teal'c said menacingly.
"Hey were you the two assholes who left my friend to die in the bathroom!" Jack shouted heading over to him. Oh how he wanted to give them to the Goa'uld see how they liked to be bashed around. But leaving them to Teal'c would be faster and they needed to hurry or...Jonas wouldn't make it. He slammed down on that thought.
"And what if we did what are you gonna do about it?" The one with the knife said gruffly not taking his eyes off Teal'c who was now staring hard at him.
"If you have harmed Jonas Quinn then you will pay." Teal'c said and he seemed to loom over the two men who shrank back under his gaze.
"Lets get this over with fast T Jonas ant doin so well."
Teal'c nodded and quickly grabbed hold of the mans hand that held the knife. The man cried in pain and dropped the weapon. Teal'c only had to punch him once to turn out the lights and the man slumped to the ground. The other one tried to take off but Jack tackled him to the ground. He punched the man hard in the face twice still ignoring the pain that had begun to increase in his wrist. Finally both men were down and Teal'c and Jack rushed back into the restaurant.
