Chapter 13

"Where the hell is she" Jack asked as he stopped searching for Sam "How the hell could we notice she wasn't here"

"I think she went in to the garden to get some fresh air" Agent Andrews told him.

"Well she's not there now, why would she go outside on her own?"

"She probably just needed a few minutes away from everything" Daniel said calmly "And she wasn't alone there at least fifteen cops outside"

"Apparently that wasn't enough"

"There's no evidence of a struggle" One of the officers said as they approached the group "but we did find this"

Andrews took the brick from the officer's hand and nodded his thanks to the officer who then left. The FBI Agent examined the brick and pulled off the piece of paper that was attached to it and unfolded it.

"Now only dust is made" he read.

"What does that mean?" Jack asked.

"That's our clue" Daniel stated the wheels in his head beginning to turn.

Jack thought for a moment trying to figure out what it could possible mean but came up empty "I got nothing"

Sam was led in to a room that was in complete and utter darkness, she couldn't see anything. McAdams let go of her arm and she turned to look at him but could see only darkness.

"Where is she?"

There was the sound of movement before a small light flickered on and she could see him holding a torch which he then tossed to her "Keep it, it's a gift, you'll need this too" he said throwing her key before walking out of the room.

She used the torch to look around the room, it a relatively big cement, cold, dark and damp. Her eyes fell on something near one of the walls and it took her a moment to realise it was Janet.

She ran over to her and knelt down next to her "Janet"

Janet made a small noise before shifting her head slowly toward Sam as she tried to focus. There was a bruise on her face and her arms were chained up above her head. It was then Sam remembered the key and she quickly unlocked the chains freeing Janet's arms which fell limply to her side.

Janet's eyes widened in horror as she focused enough to see Sam's face "Sam what are you doing here?" her voice was barely a whisper and so strained it made Sam wince inwardly.

"He caught me" Sam told her leaving out the 'I came willingly' part.

"He told me you were all dead, that he'd killed you all"

"We're all alive" she told her friend reassuringly.

"You shouldn't have come back"

Sam's was about to answer her when the door opened and she used the torch to see that McAdams was walking toward them.

"I see you found your friend, she's feeling a little under the weather I'm afraid" McAdams said pointing a gun at Sam so she wouldn't try anything.

"What did you do to her?"

"Not much, I pretty much left her in here alone, isn't that right Janet?"

"Leave her alone" Sam told him and McAdams smirked "I Assume you know your friends aren't dead yet"

"What do you mean yet?" Sam asked.

"I mean, they're clever people and I'm sure they're helping the authorities figure out the clue I left them. We can't have that, I won't lose and they may actually win if I don't stop them. Don't worry it'll be relatively quick, I'll take them all from a distance"

"Now only dust is made" Daniel repeated to himself for the hundredth time. They had been given the clue last night and it was early afternoon. Sam had been gone almost a day and Janet for four.

"Perhaps it means that the place is no longer in use, abandoned" Teal'c suggested.

"Good Teal'c" Daniel said "That's a start, how long do we have to figure this out"

"Two days usually, on the third we find their bodies"

"That gives us one more day"

They all sat their for hours throwing idea's around and before they knew it was morning, they were running out of time quickly.

"Now only dust is made" Daniel said once again feeling a light bulb go on inside head "That could mean that at one point they made something else"

"Like a construction site?" Andrews asked.

"Or a factory" Jack said in realisation "There's an old abandoned factory not far from here"

"Let's go"
