Wormhole reality
Chapter 3
When the plane landed, I felt uneasy. They were not taking me
against my will to the SGC but I couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't right. Nevertheless, I was as much curious as they were. Thoughts were racing in my mind. Was I in an alternate reality; was I dreaming; was I going crazy? Maybe I was on some new reality show I never heard of.
When we were coming out of the plane, I could see military cars pulling up. Well, I'm aware Daniel and Teal'c are part of an elite team a.k.a. SG-1 but this looked like the President was in town. I didn't know we were gonna be greeted by half the Air Force.
Soldiers poured out of the vehicles and aimed their weapons at us.
"Talk about unwanted attention, huh?" I whispered to Daniel.
"Uh oh, this is bad. He didn't take his gaze off the armed soldiers.
"Wait, are they here because of us?" It dawned on me.
"Indeed", came the deep-voiced reply from Teal'c. He did not look amused.
"What did you do, Daniel? What did you tell them?" My voice sounded shrill and full of fear.
"I swear, I never meant for this…" He was lost for words, haven't even finishing his sentence.
"He is telling the truth. Daniel Jackson merely explained that we met you outside of the base and that you possess knowledge about the Stargate program." Teal'c was trying to explain Daniel's side of the story.
"They probably think you're a security risk. And somehow I doubt General Hammond was involved." Daniel was pale.
Suddenly, a voice as loud as a Goa'uld's came from the direction of soldiers. "You will stop talking immediately and cooperate!"
"What do they want from me? I'm not dangerous." My voice was getting higher and not in a good way.
"The wish to take you into custody." Teal'c was glaring at soldiers, wishing he had his staff weapon with him.
"And then what? I will never see daylight ever again, is that right?"
"We will open fire if you don't cooperate immediately!" The annoying loud voice was persistent.
I stepped closer to the edge of the ramp where the three of us were standing with me in the middle. I did not want Teal'c and Daniel to get in trouble on my account because the soldiers were after me. So, I raised my hands in the air as a gesture of my cooperation, then I put them on my hips, showing them the pockets of my jeans and yelled: "Look, I'm unarmed, please just let me…"
I was rudely interrupted by a single shot that sounded as loud as a thunder and felt hot and painful in my hip.
Daniel screamed: "NO-O-O!" and the panic ensued. The commander dropped his megaphone, someone screamed and swore and a whole lot of running started. Teal'c took out his radio and was frantically calling someone. Daniel grabbed me by my waist, which was good timing on his part because at that moment all sounds around me started fading and my vision becoming blurry, my hip was burning hot with searing pain.
The world switched to slow motion.
