Chapter 14

- P3X-747, Goa'uld camp

'Alright, come on. Let's get those fancy shades on.' Logan said.

He, Daniel and SG-15 were in the bushes outside the Goa'uld camp. They had gotten there undetected, and were still hidden.
They put on the clear safety-goggles.

'Major,' Logan beckoned Robbins.
'According to Carter, the Goa'uld are here for the naquadah. Do you see the Al'kesh? There are five of them. The mothership is where they probably took O'Neill and Teal'c.
Daniel and I will take the Ha'tak. I need your team to head for each Al'kesh's cargobay. Now I understand that naquadah enhances explosions…'

Robins smiled as she understood where the Colonel was going.

'I need you to set charges as quickly as you can, without getting noticed. Then head back for the mothership. We will release Jack and Teal'c, set charges, get the hell out of here and look at the fireworks. Understood?'

Major Robins nodded.

'Move out.'

As SG-15 left, Logan took Daniel to the Ha'tak.

----------

They each took position on either side of the entrance. Daniel opened the door.

They glanced inside, Daniel pointing his zat, Logan his Glock. The hall was empty. Quickly they made it trough to the holding cells without being detected.
The ship seemed empty like before.

When they reached the cells, there were two guards. They could see Teal'c. He was badly injured, but conscious.
Daniel zatted both guards and the two of them headed for the cell.

'Teal'c! What did they do to Jack?' Daniel asked as he was breaking him out. Logan was standing guard.
'Daniel Jackson. They have taken O'Neill to be interrogated.'

Soon, Teal'c was liberated, and being supported by Daniel.

'Where are all the Jaffa?' Logan asked.
'I suspect they are all mining naquadah.' Teal'c responded.
'This is a meaningless system lord, Colonel Evans. His forces are small. There are few guards for the prisoners.'
'All the better. Which way is the interrogation-room?'
'Down the hall on the left.'
'I will go get Jack.' Logan instructed.
'Daniel, you and Teal'c go set the charges.'
'No.' Teal'c grabbed Logan's arm.
'I shall accompany you.'
'No offence, Teal'c' Logan commented.
'But I'm guessing there will be more men with Jack, and you are not at your peak condition right now. I need to be quick. Because when I have him, all hell is going to break lose, and I will need you and Daniel to cover our sixes.'

He gave him the staff-weapon from one of the guards.
Grudgingly, Teal'c let go of his arm.

----------

Logan went down the hall as Teal'c and Daniel went the other direction.
He went trough the doors on his left and entered another hall. At the end of the hall was a chamber with opened doors.

He sneaked up to the doorway and peeked inside. There were three Jaffa-warriors in front of another door. They were laughing and talking as Logan screwed a silencer onto his Glock.

With three silent shots he took the Jaffa down.

He went trough the room and opened the door.
He entered a scarcely lit chamber.

An exceptionately large Jaffa was torturing Jack O'Neill with a pain-stick.

Logan tried to sneak up on them, but the fleeting glint in Jack's eyes gave him away.

The big Jaffa turned around with an incredible speed and knocked Logan to the ground. His pistol flew out of his hand, and Logan was surprised by the sudden blow.

He got up quickly and kicked the large warrior between the legs as hard as he could. It wouldn't be considered "fair play", but the hell with it.

The Jaffa doubled over, and Logan jammed his knee against his face with force.

The warrior's torso flew back up, sending blood-splatters through the air. But he grabbed Logan in a fluid motion, and began to crush him.

Desperate for movement and air, Logan braced himself and hit his head against the Jaffa's already crushed nose.

He was released, and dazed, Logan moved around the other warrior and kicked the Jaffa in the back, breaking his spine.

He fell backwards against Logan, who had anticipated this and grabbed the Jaffa's head.

The neck broke with a dry crack, and the lifeless body fell on the floor with a silent thud.

Panting, Logan got to his feet.

'Jack,'

O'Neill was sitting on his knees, still recovering from the torture. His face showed the same signs of beating as Teal'c's had.

'Yeah. I'm alright.'
'Can you walk?'
'I think so.'
'Can you run?'

Jack now looked up to Logan.

'Daniel is setting a charge in the ships cargobay.'
'The one filled with naquadah?'
'That one.'
'Then I can run.'

Logan helped him up and supported him.
Together they sped – more or less – through the hallway. Suddenly they heard the sound of Jaffa-warriors coming towards them.

They ducked away behind a bulkhead just in time to dodge the dozen staff-blasts directed at them.
Logan threw himself back in front of the Jaffa, shooting his P90 and taking cover on the other side.

Then Daniel's voice sounded over the radio:

'Hey, we're hearing gunfire up ahead. Don't happen to be you, does it?'
'Gee, Daniel, how'd you guess?' Logan grumbled back.

Meanwhile, he slid his Glock into O'Neill's eager hands, who proceeded to make use of it.
Logan swung his weapon around the corner and continued to make victims.

'Howabout some help?' He called into the radio.
'We're on our way.' He heard Daniel say.

And soon enough, gunfire and staff-weapon blasts were heard on the other side, directed against the Jaffa.
They came out and headed towards Daniel and Teal'c.

'Jack, good to see you.' Daniel said to the limping Colonel.
'How is SG-15 doing?' Logan asked Daniel.'They have finished planting the C4 and are waiting for us. You know, there wasn't a lot of naquadah in the cargobay, Logan. I don't know how big a blast it's going to give.'
'As long as this entire ship blows up, I don't care, Daniel.'
'Yeah, but that's what I'm worried about.'

They reached the entrance of the ship when Major Robins called them over the radio.

'SG-1, what's you're position? A lot of enemy forces are heading our way.'
'We're at the exit.' Daniel replied.

They opened the doors and went outside.

SG-15 was now opening fire at the arriving Jaffa.

'Get out of here, go, go!' Jack yelled.

He limped together with Teal'c towards SG-15 as Daniel and Logan gave cover.

SG-15 caught them, and ran for the forest.
Daniel and Logan quickly followed them, while Logan still fired his P90 against the Jaffa.

They were getting closer, and some blasts nearly hit him.

Suddenly, Logan fell to the ground. A close Jaffa had shot him in his left-calf.
The warrior ran towards him, and began to wrestle with him.
But Logan had pulled his knife, and managed to jam it in his throat.
He quickly got up, and sped to Daniel and Captain Sorez of SG-15, who had both fallen back, as fast as he could.

'Leave!' He yelled when he saw that they were stopping to give him cover.

Then, another blast hit Logan in the shoulder.
Everything seemed to slow down as he spun around and dropped to the ground.

----------

Daniel watched in horror as he saw Logan go down. Energy-blasts were coming towards him, but he had to stop for one second.

Come on, get up he thought. Stand up, now.

Captain Sorez now moved to retrieve him, but Daniel stopped him.

'No! Get to the others! It's too late!'

They ran after the others while Logan was on the ground and didn't move.
