Chapter 7

"Good morning angels" Jack said as Janet and Sam walked out of the room they had been sleeping in. They both gave him an amused glance and joined the guys on the sofa's.

"You both sleep alright?"

"Yeah, you guys?"

"Fine"

"Where's Kaleth?" Janet asked realising he wasn't around.

"He woke up early this morning and said he had to go to work, apparently he's a trainee doctor at one of the cities rundown hospitals"

"So are we stuck in here all day?"

"Kaleth says we shouldn't leave the apartment yet"

"You trust him?"

"I don't see how we have much choice, he was right about one thing, we can't go out to look for the stargate until the council guard at least lessen their search for us. We're stuck in the city until then and this isn't exactly the safest place in the galaxy"

"How was your day?" Kaleth asked walking into the apartment.

"Boring" Jack answered bluntly. Over the course of the day he had found himself growing more and more restless and he had started driving everyone else crazy.

"I'm sure" Kaleth said with a smile "If you are to stay here then I will be needing some more supplies and we should probably get you some more clothes. Perhaps you would like to join me for a trip to the market"

"That sounds like a good idea" Jack said jumping at the chance to get outside.

"I can also show you around the area and then maybe you will be able to leave the apartment alone once you know who and where to avoid"

They all left the apartment and followed Kaleth as he led them through the streets. He pointed out which places and people that were dangerous. They soon turned into a wider street which had stalls selling various different things running down either side.

"This is the market" Kaleth announced unnecessarily "Be careful though all these supplies and the money here tend to attract some nasty people"

"Thanks for the warning" Jack said automatically moving closer to where Sam and Janet were walking.

They spent almost an hour walking around the market whilst Kaleth gathered the supplies he needed. They were all very wary of the people around them, watching for anyone acting suspiciously.

"We have everything we need" Kaleth said as they headed back to the apartment. They were only half way back to the apartment when three men stepped in front of them blocking their way.

"Hand over the supplies and no one gets hurt" one man who seemed to be the ring leader said.

One of the men at his side leered at Sam and Janet "Hand over the women to"

"I don't think so" Jack said stepping forward before several other men then surrounded them.

"Give them to us or we will take them from you"

"You could try"

"Very well" The leader said and he took a step back.

One of the men lunged for Teal'c who simply knocked him back on his ass. Two more men went for him and Teal'c evaded both their attacks before grabbing one of them and throwing him into a wall. The man who had attacked him first had finally got back on his feet and made another lunge at him. Teal'c grabbed the mans fist and crushed it in his hand leaving them man crouched on the floor in agony. He then threw his final attacker into the wall on top of his friend. Teal'c turned to see Jack fighting off another two of the men.

Jack saw Teal'c grab the guy on his left leaving Jack free to hit the other guy causing him to stumble backward. Jack took the moment of reprieve to glance quickly at Janet who seemed to be holding her own. She fortunately only had one guy to fight. Jack smiled as he saw her punch him in the face so hard he fell back. Unfortunately for him he fell back into Teal'c who had already disposed of the guy he had pulled off Jack.

Sam hit the guy who had tried to take advantage of the situation. He had grabbed her and tried to drag her down an alley way but he hadn't banked on Sam putting up a fight. As she hit him he fell and hit his head on the wall rendering him unconscious. She turned to the rest of her team in time to see Daniel finish of the last of the guys who had attacked him. Once all of their attacker were down they turned to the leader who was stood with a rather shocked and angry expression on his face. He looked like he was about to lunge for them.

"I wouldn't bother, all you're men are either unconscious or injured. You lost" Jack stated.

"This isn't over" the man said as he ran away.

"Everyone alright?" Jack asked turning to his team.

"Still in one piece" Sam answered.

Daniel moved over to Janet and put his arm around her waist tightly just to reassure himself that she was okay.

"Hey Doc those were some pretty good moves, never knew you had it in you. You should come out with us more often" Jack told her with a smile which Janet returned warmly.

"Kaleth, you can come out now" Jack said and the man in question appeared from the dumpster he had been hiding behind.

"We should get off the streets" Teal'c stated and they all moved to pick up the various shopping bags they had been forced to drop. Once back at the apartment Kaleth immediately went to sit down.

"I've never seen anything like that" he stated "No one stands up to the gangs here let alone fights them and wins"

"Well there's a first time for everything" Jack quipped.

"At least we got back with all the supplies" Daniel said as he sat down.

"Then let's eat coz I'm starving"
