Col Mitchell, Sam, Daniel and Teal'c were in the conference room when Walter contacted SG1 that there was a urgent message sent to SGC with no known sender. The message came in with coordinates to and old abandoned building. Col Mitchell and SG1 decided to personally check out the building. They all knew it could be a trap, but they had no choice. This was the only lead they had and the opportunity to find Gen Landry, Vala and Dr. Lam were growing slim. Mitchell decided to go in with 3 backup SGC teams of six. If there were any surprises then he was going to go in prepared.

UNKNOWN LOCATION

Carolyn was checking on Vala's progression when the Medic had entered the room. Vala was sitting upright in bed and Carolyn was checking her bandages, now that she was no longer in immediate danger. Vala was growing stronger, but she still was stiff from surgery and her throat was healing well also. The Medic had asked Dr. Lam how the patient was doing and motioned to his clip board. It read: Be ready. Dr. Lam and Vala looked curiously at the Medic and decided to do just that.

"Dr. Lam the leader wishes to speak with you, Ms Doran and Gen Landry this morning."

"Do we have any choice? Stated Carolyn.

The Medic smiled slightly and slightly motioned to the hidden cameras in the room. Carolyn understood as well as Vala that the Medic was trying to help.

"No, to be honest Dr. Lam. However the leader insisted that all of you be taken to the interrogation room. I don't know why but he wanted me to make sure Ms Doran was well enough to be escorted also. That's why I am here this morning. From your charts, Ms Doran has progressed quite well. I believe that is due to you Dr. Lam. With your personal care, I believe you have accelerated Ms Doran's recovery."

"Well, I agree Carolyn, said Vala. I don't know if I would have ever survived if not for you."

"Vala, stop. You know that it was you also. You're a fighter, I just helped you along that's all."

"Well, I'll inform the leader than Ms Doran is awake and able to be escorted Dr. Lam. Let me take a last look at her vitals." The Medic looked as if he actually was checking his charts with Dr. Lam and had pointed to certain words to spell out: have made plans.

"Well everything seems in order Dr. Lam, so I will inform the Leader and will see you soon; Ms Vala, good day."

The Medic left to inform the leader that Ms Doran was well enough to be questioned along with Gen Landry and Dr. Lam attending also. As he made his way to the Leaders office, the Medic had stopped by the mess hall for his morning coffee. As he was pouring a cup, he secretly laid a device under the table and other areas for use later that day.

Several guards had retrieved Gen Landry from his holding area, and Carolyn and Vala had been retrieved along the way. Vala was holding onto Carolyn for support slightly and when they met in the questioning room, Gen Landry smiled slightly at Carolyn and nodded to Vala before sitting down. Barrett entered the room with no emotion showing on his face. The guards that followed him, immediately grabbed Carolyn and held her up. The other guards also grabbed Vala also and held Gen Landry to his chair while securing him with handcuffs to his chair. Both women tried to struggle and Vala wasn't strong enough to fight back yet. Caroline was held tight while Gen Landry was growing angry at what Barrett was doing to them, especially to his daughter. Landry knew Vala was a trained soldier, but Carolyn he didn't quite know if she would be able to handle being treated so roughly. Gen Landry gave Carolyn a look that she understood to be one of concern, but also being a General's daughter one of disciplined emotions.

"Why are you doing this Barrett? Asked Landry angrily. "You don't have to do this. Let them go; you have me as a bargaining tool. I give you my word that SGC will cooperate as much as we can."

"I know you will Gen Landry. This is to insure, you cooperate. As long as I have your daughter and one of your people, I can do anything I want. I know you won't let anything happen to your little girl now, don't we. Ms Doran is for insurance also. If anything happens to them, it's your fault, not mine." Said Barrett.

Barrett nodded at one of the guards and he punched Carolyn in her mid section, causing her to double over in pain and drop to the floor. Vala immediately broke lose regardless of her injury and went for the guard that hit Carolyn. Another guard behind her hit Vala on the back of the head, knocking her out cold. Landry was livid. He tried desperately to grab onto one of the guards who hit Carolyn first. The guards behind him held him back down in his chair and slapped him across the face. Barrett was smiling watching events play out, while Carolyn was slowing pulling herself together, she saw Vala on the floor unconscious.

Carolyn voiced her anger at Barrett trying to get to Vala to see how bad she was hit. "I don't care what you do to me, but Vala is still injured. You don't have to resort to this."

"I'm sorry Doctor, but I do." Looking at Gen Landry with a slight smirk. "I want to know about the new Asgard technology and I want that information from SGC now. I've treated you all with kid gloves and your time is up. I'm sending another message to Col Mitchell to download all high tech Asgard technology to a special disk and have it delivered to a special envoy. If he or any of the SG1 members tamper with this disk or try to trace it through my special courier, one of you will die; and guess who I'm going to start with first Gen Landry?" Barrett looking towards the General.

"Please, let me see to Vala. I don't care what you want, but you still need us alive." Said Carolyn, still slightly in pain.

"Touché' Doctor, Touché'. Go ahead.

Carolyn crawled over to Vala and she was moaning slightly. She checked her head for any bleeding or swelling. Vala had a slight bump and Carolyn checked her eyes for dilation. Vala's eyes reacted to the light and Carolyn was slightly relieved that she may not have a concussion.

"I need to examine her to make sure you haven't given her an concussion." Said Carolyn.

"Why certainly Dr. Lam. I wouldn't want anything to happen yet to our prize SGC people." Barrett motioned for the guards to pick up Vala and Caroline and ordered them back to the infirmary. As they left carrying Vala and escorting Caroline. She looked back at her father with a look he only understood, afraid for him and what they will do if SGC does not comply with Barrett's request. Barrett watched as the room was emptied except for him and two other guards. Barrett walked over to Gen Landry's chair and leaned over to speak in a low and threatening voice.

"Now Gen Landry, let's take off the gloves. I want to really see what you're made of." Barrett stood up and nodded to one of the guards. As Barrett left the room, he looked back at Landry as the guard began to hit the General several times, over and over.

SG1

"Col Mitchell we are in position. Stated Teal'c. I see three surveillance cameras perrimetering the area. We are out of their surveillance and I see no guards."

"They probably would not expect someone to find them, said Mitchell. Knowing those cameras are there, makes me believe we are in the right place Teal'c. Take one team and work your way around the back entrance. Carter, myself and Daniel will take the side and front entrance. On my signal we go in, don't take any chances Teal'c. If they see you they may hurt our people."

" Understood Colonel Mitchell."

"Col Mitchell, Jackson here; 2nd team in position. No signs of movement or guards. Standing by."

"Team 1 in position, holding. On my signal. Mitchell out."

"Sam, I hope we are in the right place. We can't afford to make any mistakes. If Gen Landry and our girls are in there, then were going to have to act fast before anyone gets hurt."

"I know Cam, said Sam They'll be alright. I have a feeling that when this is all over we are going to have a extra pizza partner."

A/N: Sorry for the wait. I'm finishing up soon here. The muses got out for a little R&R. So review if you like. Ta.
