Vala and Carolyn exited the Spa oblivious to their surroundings. A slow moving black van was approaching upon the women with meticulous stealth. The Van stopped behind Vala's car and four men stepped out moving toward Vala first and then Carolyn. Two men both grabbed Vala clamping a hand across her mouth as did Carolyn. Vala maneuvered a hit to one of the men and swinging him head on into her car. She kneed the other man and cold cocked him, he was out cold. Vala then pounced on the other two men trying to push Carolyn into the waiting Van. Vala yelled for Carolyn to run as Vala again attacked her kidnappers. A shot rang out and Vala was pulled into the Van. Carolyn turned to see Vala being driven away and started running after the Van. Another man came up behind Carolyn and knocked her unconscious, a second man lifted Carolyn into his arms and the Van stopped while the two men hurriedly pulled Carolyn in also. The Van moved quickly through the parking lot and sped off with the two females.

"Team leader; do we have the package being delivered?" Came a voice out of the radio.

"Yes Sir, but there is a slight problem. One is injured; I do not know how badly and both packages are unconscious. I will not be able to tell how badly until we arrive at our pre -destination, Over."

"Team leader, this will be your problem, if anything happens to either one of those packages you will be dealt with as well as your men, understood?"

"Yes, sir, Team leader, Out."

The team leader looked at his men for a few moments and averted his eyes back to Vala and Carolyn. Vala had did her damage to two of his men, they had mis calculated her obvious combat skills. However, they did not expect Carolyn to return to help Vala and also she was captured.

"We will deliver our packages on time but if one of them dies, I assure you the responsible party will meet the same fate." The team leader starred his men down and they all knew he meant what he said.

The Van came to a complete halt and the two women were carried underground to an unknown location. Neither had stirred and both were laid on a bed in a seemingly silver walled room. A medic was called in to attend to Vala, but informed the team leader that the wound was more serious and beyond his skill. The team leader decided to wake Carolyn.

"Wake up Dr. Lam; your skills are required for your team mate." The team leader had the medic run a vile of ammonia under Carolyn's nose.

Carolyn awoke with a start and a strong smell of ammonia. She was confused and saw three men in the room. Two were armed and another was standing over her. Seeing that she was awake, the medic had moved aside to allow the team leader to speak to her.

"Wh- where am I, where is Vala? Carolyn was becoming angry remembering what happened.

"Vala Mol Doran is injured Dr. Lam and unless you use your skills she may not make it and this would be very bad for you."

Carolyn immediately saw Vala. She had somehow been shot and her bleeding was not stopping. Carolyn carefully removed Vala's clothing from the wound and inspected it more carefully. It was a small hole in the front and Carolyn motioned the medic to help turn her over to her side. What Carolyn saw was the bullet had exited out Vala's back, but left a bigger bullet hole. Carolyn was relieved that the bullet was still not in Vala, but she needed to see what type of damage the bullet had done and she needed a X-Ray.

"She will bleed to death if I don't see what internal damage that bullet caused. I don't know what you have here, but I need to have her X-Rayed to see the damage." Carolyn asked.

"We have those capabilities Dr. Lam, anything you need is here at your disposal. We will not allow anything to happen to you as long as you save her. The medic will assist you if you need to operate on Ms Doran."

Carolyn knew she needed to stay calm and help Vala. She would think later on how they would escape these people, but her new friend needed her and she wanted more than anything to save her.

"I will need to prep her for surgery after the X-Ray. I will do everything to save her, just don't harm her anymore, please."

"That's entirely up to you Dr. Lam." Stated the Team Leader. Make arrangements with the Med tech and make sure you don't try to escape Dr. Lam or else all your work to save Ms. Doran will be in vain."

Carolyn had access to a complete medical facility and Vala's X-Ray showed no serious damage, but she had to work feverishly to stop her bleeding and stitch the bullet holes. Carolyn kept close tabs on Vala's recovery and armed men were in the recovery unit to stand watch. Carolyn knew when Vala and her became overdue to return to SGC, her father would form a search unit, especially SG1 and find them. Carolyn knew Vala had a locator chip in her arm but somehow that was removed before surgery. It was a matter of time to see what these people wanted, but Carolyn was remembering the great time Vala and her were having before the kidnapping and how Vala made sure the day was all committed to making Carolyn feel appreciated.

As Vala lay unconscious and hooked to several monitors Carolyn's heart weighed heavy on how Vala was trying to protect her and would have litterly given her life to make sure she was safe. But now, Carolyn realized it was her turn to save Vala and make sure that her new friend would leave alive and well and plan their escape.
