Gen Landry had posted guards outside the base to stop any unusual delivered packages and ordered that the delivery service be detained. There was finally a strange delivery and the driver was placed in a holding area. Col Mitchell, Teal'c, Sam and Daniel were above the holding area waiting for Gen Landry to question the driver alone. Gen Landry had set his plan into motion and hoped the kidnappers would bite. The driver was released and informed that the factions involved would not receive any Asgard technology until he was taken to see his daughter and Vala Mol Doran alive. The driver unable to attain the disc had no choice but to contact the Team Leader. The driver used an encoded cell phone and ran all his messages through satellite. SG1 and SGC intelligence was unable to track down the drivers signals to see who he was contacting.

"My Superiors have agreed to your request and mention that your locator in your arm be destroyed. You must come with me now or you forfeit the lives of your daughter and Vala Mol Doran." Stated the Driver.

Col Mitchell wanted to protest but Gen Landry had stopped him. He had to proceed as if they had no choice in the matter and Gen Landy was willing to risk his life to save his daughter.

"I want to be shown to the exit to this base, commanded the driver. "And you will wait for further instructions from my Superiors is that understood Gen Landry?"

"Yes, looking up to his SG1 team. Col Mitchell. Have your people stand down. I don't want any interference. Pull your people back and under my strictest orders do not interfere of any kind. Is that understood?"

"Yes Sir." Col Mitchell watched as well as the rest of the team. Gen Landry's plan was working. They only hoped that he could somehow contact them to find out the kidnappers hiding place.

Gen Landry was immediately blindfolded and tied up once he was in the helicopter. He felt a slight prick in his arm and then everything went black. He didn't know how long he was out, but felt disoriented at best and his mouth felt dry. Landry tried to move around but his hands were still tied from earlier. He tried to focus on his surroundings and listen to see if any one was with him. He could hear muffled voices and a door shutting but that's all he could make out. The team leader had come in the room and looked at Landry with disappointment. His thoughts were that SGC was becoming sloppy and this was the perfect opportunity for his organization to take over. They now had a grand prize he thought. The Commander of SGC, his daughter Dr. Lam and one of the SG1's team member Vala Mol Doran. His organization will be pleased at his selection of hostages.

Gen Landry was becoming a little lucid now, his vision was starting to clear and he could see images of one or two people in the room.

"Gen Landry?"

He recognized the voice. It was Carolyn.

"Dr. Lam, is that you? Asked the General.

"Yes Sir, what are doing here?

"Carolyn, they know you are my daughter. I told them I'm not giving them any information until I see you and Vala are alright."

"Dad, let me see if they can untie you so I can see if you are alright."

There was a guard in the room and also the Medic, he had followed Carolyn in. The Medic spoke momentarily to the guard and he cut the Generals binds.

"That's better, thanks Carolyn." Stated Landry.

"Don't thank me. The Medic was gracious enough to ask. Dad that still doesn't explain what's happened. They haven't told us anything or what's going on." Said Carolyn.

"It's a long story, said Landry. I'm more concerned about how you are doing and where is Vala?"

"I'm fine dad, but Vala was shot. She had to have surgery and went through a bout of pneumonia. She's stable now thanks to some help." Carolyn nodded toward the Med tech. He graciously smiled.

"I want to see her and I'll explain later what they want from us. I'm just glad you're alright." Gen Landry moved towards Carolyn and uncharacteristically hugged her.

Carolyn was a little surprised at her father's attentions. He usually even in present company would not hug her so publicly.

"Dr. Lam, said the Medic, I will see if I can arrange for the General to see Ms Doran. Is there anything else you need?"

"No; thank you for asking. I believe the General has no ill effects from whatever they gave him."

The Medic nodded his head and left the holding room.

"Carolyn? Are you sure you are alright. I want to make sure they have not hurt you and Vala. They can do anything to me, "but I want them to release you and Vala."

"Dad, yes I'm fine and Vala and I have been treated fairly well. I didn't expect you to find us so soon. How did you find us?"

"Like I said, they contacted us, said Landry and pointing to his ear to signal Carolyn about some one may be listening. "Everything will be alright and like I said I will explain what's happened. The only concern now is getting you out of this place. I – I saw the blood from where you both were taken and it scared the hell out of me that both of you could be dead. "

Carolyn had never seen her father this scarred before. She always thought he was just concerned about his position and the other teams on base. He hardly ever conveyed such heartfelt concern before now.

"Dad, I know everything is going to be alright. Vala was – was; did protect me dad. She tried to fight them off to let me escape, but I couldn't leave her dad. The- they shot her dad for nothing. She was only looking out for me." Carolyn's eyes were starting to tear up. She sniffed a little and composed herself. She didn't want to admit she was scared and mad at the same time at her captures. She was glad to have her father listen to her.

"She almost died dad. Sh- she contracted an infection in her lungs and I was almost too late to help her. I don't know what I would of done if she died dad? She's been so nice to me, sh- she's my friend dad. Don't let them hurt her dad, please."

Gen Landry hugged Carolyn to him and stroked her hair. He hadn't held her like this since she was a little girl. How he regretted missing all this time to be close to his daughter.

He pulled back from her and lifted her chin with his finger. "Don't worry, I'm not going to let them hurt either one of you. I'm just sorry that, that I hadn't noticed you were working so hard that I didn't show you around Colorado myself."

"You were busy dad as well as I was. You had other responsibilities first."

"No, you are my daughter and I- I've always been busy. That stops now. I want to spend more time with you Carolyn. I'm your father and life is too short. I should make time for you, I do with everyone else, it's no excuse. I – I would like to get to know you again, if it's alright with you?" Said Landry.

Carolyn nodded at her dad yes and smiled to let him know she appreciated his offer.

Before they could say anything else, the holding room door swung open and in stepped the team leader. Gen Landry looked up and stood up in anger.

"YOU?"
