Gen Landry was speaking to his daughter Dr. Lam about spending more time with her. He regretted that under the circumstances he would rather be back at SGC and taking her out to see Colorado's scenery. But he had set himself up to be kidnapped and find out where the kidnappers were holding Dr. Lam and Vala. As he was discussing plans to orient himself more with his daughter, the team leader made himself present. Gen Landry recognized who this person was as soon as he walked in the room.
"YOU?"
The guards in the room immediately restrained Gen Landry from attacking the team leader.
"Yes, General, did you expect someone else?"
"Barrett, what the hell do you think you're doing kidnapping my people?" Angrily stated Landry.
The team leader that Gen Landry recognized was none other than Malcolm Barrett, shadow agent with the NID.
"All in good time Gen Landry, all in good time. As you see your daughter is not in danger unless you do something stupid. Remember we have Vala Mol Doran also and if I know your SG1 people they are trying to find all of you. So sit tight General and be relieved that I haven't killed anyone yet. I'll be in touch." Said Barrett.
Barrett left the room and spoke to the guard before he left.
"Dad, who was that? I've never seen you so angry before." Said Carolyn.
"That is or was Malcolm Barrett; he worked for or still is for NID. It's an agency that investigates technology brought back from alien cultures by SGC. We thought that he was one of the good guys. Agent Woosley and him work for the same agency, but it seems that Barrett has plans of his own."
"So, why kidnap us? Why just not take over SGC instead of this?"
"I don't know. But he has access to all SGC information and more. This could become dangerous Caroline. But right now he's playing cat and mouse with us, so keep a sharp eye out. How's Vala?"
"I think we can go see her. I'll speak to the Medic. He can usually arrange for us to be with Vala."
"Good, good. From now on Caroline, listen to everything I say. I'll let you know what I mean later."
"Ok, dad. Lets go see our friend."
Gen Landry and Dr. Lam were allowed to see Vala in the kidnapper's infirmary. Gen Landry kept a mental note on the lay out of the facility. Now that Gen Landry knew who he was dealing with, it was going to be more difficult to contact SG1 without alerting NID. He surmised that Barrett knew enough about SGC to compromise their operations to the world and blackmail SGC to relinquish it top secret technology without suspicion. He knew now that Barrett could not afford to let them live, now that they knew who he was.
Caroline immediately checked Vala's vitals. She saw from her workup that she was recovering well. Vala was stirring and she slowly opened her eyes to see Caroline standing over her.
"Hey sleephead, how are you feeling?" Asked Caroline.
"I feel like I've been shot. But nothing a few glasses of wine couldn't cure." Caroline smiled at her new friend. As Vala adjusted her eye sight, she noticed someone familiar looking at her.
"Gen Landry? What are you doing here?" I'm flattered, but three is starting to be a crowd."
Caroline had to laugh a little at Vala's upbeat attitude of being kidnapped and her father's obvious embarrassment of being captured.
"And Hello, to you to Vala, said Landry. How are you feeling? I see Dr. Lam is making sure they take very good care of you."
"She saved my life, twice General. I hope you give her a raise." Said Vala.
"I just may do that, but back to you. How do you feel?"
"I still feel a little weak. But I'll live. Any chance of you springing us General?" Said Vala.
"I'm working on it. Vala the person that kidnapped you is a NID agent named Barrett. He may be a double agent and I'm not a liberty to say what he wants at the moment, but I just want to make sure that you are both alright."
"I say we girls can take care of ourselves, until our day was interrupted. We were having such a good time." Vala smiled weakly.
"We better let Vala get some rest General. She's still recovering and until we find out what they want. It looks like we are going to be her for awhile." Stated Caroline.
Caroline nudged her dad and wrote something in Pilipino language on the back of Vala's chart. It stated. "Medic may help" Gen Landry looked up and nodding his head he understood. Right now Gen Landry needed any help he could get. Barrett would turn out to be a very dangerous man if he got his way and Caroline and Vala could be used to persuade him to hand over top secret alien technology and weapons. He just hoped that SG1 will be ready when he made his move.
