Jacob shoved Anise into the wall and stuck his face into hers.

"What the hell were you thinking? No, don't answer that! I don't want to hear your excuses. You thought you could get away with hurting my little girl, but you were dead wrong."

"You don't have a clue. You and Malek think that you're so smart, but without Sam you can't see the obvious staring you in the face." Anise hissed and gave him a violent shove.

Jacob stumbled backwards, temporarily stunned, but it gave Anise the advantage. She snatched the zat gun out of his hand and pointed it at him.

"It's too bad really. I always like you, but you just got in the way, you couldn't leave well enough alone."

"What are you talking about?"

"I wasn't really going to kill you precious daughter, but maybe now I will."

"You…"

"You should have stayed home. I did warn you."

Jacob's anger exploded to the surface once more and he launched himself at the woman before him. Anise was quicker though. She fired the zat and brought him down.

She knelt down to whisper in his ear. "I'll spare you, but only so you can live out the rest of your life knowing that you failed Sam. You killed her because you were too slow, too incompetent to see the truth staring you in the face."

Then she left him there, lying motionless on the floor, as she made her way back to the room where Sam and Malek were. There were more she reminded herself, the rest of SG-1 was there too. She smiled. That was why she had help.

She stopped at the fork in the tunnels and waited. Finally, Lucy appeared out of the darkness.

"Is everything ready?"

"Yes. Jeremy and Mara are in place."

"Good. Let's go. Just remember,Samis mine."

"Sam? Sam? Can you hear me? Wake up!"

Malek shook her, desperate to wake her.

"Sam!"

Out of the corner of his eye Malek saw Jeremy move towards him. In the next instance stars exploded in his vision as the chair came crashing down on his head. Pain flooded his senses and he fell over clutching his head. Apologizing to Cade and blocking the pain as best he could, he staggered to his feet, only to be knocked unconscious from behind by Mara.

"Get him?"

"Yeah, he's out cold. Look out!"

Mara turned, ready for the onslaught of the Taur'i.

"Don't make me shot you," said Jack leveling his gun at her chest. "Put down the chair and the…"

Jack fell over as a zat blast coursed through his body. Anise stepped over him, and turned to watch Lucy dispatch Teal'c with a shot from her zat.

"Throw them with Daniel." She said to Jeremy, indicating the first victim of her ambush. "I have some unfinished business to attend to."

Sam was vaguely aware of Malek shaking her and calling her name. She wanted to go to him, and she found that if she concentrated really hard on his voice it didn't sound so far away. The darkness that engulfed her began to let go little by little. Soon she was floating just below the surface of the darkness. She could hear what sounded like gunfire and then a voice came closer, but it wasn't Malek. Nonetheless, it finished what he had started and drug her back to the world of the living.

Opening her eyes she saw Anise standing over her with a malicious and triumphant grin on her face.

Without thinking Sam reacted.
