Jack looked around the corner and saw a few guards standing only a few feet away. "Daniel, did you bring a radio?"

"Yeah."

"Let me have it."

Daniel handed the small black device to his friend. "Teal'c, come in."

"O'Neill, it is good to hear your voice."

"Yours too, buddy, but…I need your help."

"How may I be of assistance?"

"Grab some of that C-4 that's in the truck. Then, plant some of it in a remote location, and blow it."

"Indeed."

"Thanks."

They huddled in the padded cell for the next three minutes while they waited for the explosion. Guards hurried past the cell, running for their lives. After they saw what seemed to be the end of the exodus, Jack helped Sam up. "Okay, now it's time to go."

They hurried in the opposite direction and ran.

"Hey, you! Stop!"

Jack and Daniel lunged at the two guards while Sam watched behind them for returning guards from the mass exodus. Two guards came at her, and she fired the zat, not worrying about the number of times she shot them. Each man went down, unaccustomed to the electrical charge issued by the weapon.

"Let's move, Carter!" Jack said, noticing that she was seizing up.

She nodded, taking a couple of deep breaths as she ran after them. Another group of guards came at them from the back, merely stepping over the bodies of their comrades. She pointed the zat at them, and pulled the trigger only to collapse alongside the fallen man.

"Jack!" Daniel cried, looking back at his fallen friend.

Jack lunged at the remaining guards, and threw a right hook that caught him in the nose, knocking the man out. Meanwhile, Daniel ran to Sam, checking her pulse. "Her pulse is weak and erratic."

"Then let's get her outta here!" Jack said as he threw the zat to him. "Take point. I'll get Carter!"

Daniel caught the zat, and began running forward. Jack laid the unconscious Carter across his shoulders and followed.

Janet Fraiser met them at the door, in full gear, while Teal'c stood watch. "How is she?"

"Not good…but this'll have to wait until we get into the van!" Jack yelled as a group of five guards approached. Janet reached for her semi-automatic and Teal'c and Daniel used their zats to provide the necessary cover for the rescue.

They reached the van, and Jack laid Sam on the floor. Janet jumped in immediately afterward as Teal'c and Daniel hopped into the front seats of the vehicle. All of the doors closed as Teal'c pulled out of the parking lot, the tires squealing in protest.

"Colonel, she's going into shock. Get me some blankets."

"Blankets?" He asked, surprised.

"Yes. They're in the back, by the door."

He found the wool blankets and handed them to the doctor. "Now, Colonel, I need you to sit by her feet, and place them on your legs. We need to keep them elevated. And Teal'c, we need to get her to the base ASAP."

"Understood, Dr. Fraiser."

"Daniel, call Hammond. Get him to have a chopper waiting for us at Luke Air Force Base!"

Suddenly, Sam gasped for air before her breathing stopped altogether. "Sir, I'm going to need your help. We have to start CPR."

"CPR?"

"Sir, she's stopped breathing!"

Jack flung her legs from off of his lap and moved over to where he knelt parallel to Dr. Fraiser. "Now what?"

The doctor had begun compressions. "Move her head so that it's at an upward angle. Place your thumb and forefinger over her nose, place her lips over hers and blow."

Jack hesitated for a moment.

"NOW!" The petite woman ordered.

He did so, and Janet monitored the situation carefully. "Now, again."

He blew again.

"Again."

He followed her instructions.

She felt for a pulse. It was weak, but it was there. "She's begun breathing on her own again, sir. Good work."

He just looked at the limp body of his second-in-command as he slowly returned to the position he'd originally been in. He placed her legs on his to elevate them. He'd almost lost her. Again.
