Chapter 8
Jack entered into the office where he left J.J.. The boy was hunched over the device, working on it furiously. Jack stepped toward him, disposing his findings on to the table beside the boy. "What are you doing?" "Fixing it." "But how?" J.J. just shrugged, his brown frowned.
"I'm not sure. Just know what to do. I'm remembering it." His voice was uncertain, like he himself trying to find the answers. Jack studied the boy working for a minuet or more, before started to unpack the objects he brought. J.J.'s brown eyes flickered toward the objects, Jack could see the boy weighting up what was what before he grabbed the power cell inserting in the its place. "Can I help?" the boy's eyes flickered toward him, frowning. "I don't know how." "Right. Then I will start packing our gear."
A comfortable silence settled between them, Jack started to gather the necessity objects from the lab. They brought most of their gear from off base, but it never hurt if there were some plus supplies.
Jack gathered some other piece, and component. He spotted an old GDO, it was mostly disemboweled, but with a little tinkering he maybe able to fix it.
----------------
The device was finished, J.J. was sure. He switched on the device; it's started to hum, as it came to life. He sensed Jack not far behind him; the older boy stepped to his side and squeezed his shoulder.
"Good job." The older boy's voice reflected Jack's appreciation toward his work.
"Thanks." He grinned back. He turned toward his older brother. 'Brother', it sounded somehow right to call Jack that.
Jack placed the GDO on the table close to the device. "We will need it to open Atlantis' iris. I just hope, It will work. I don't want to end up as a bug on the windscreen. J.J: pulled up his nose in disgust, he neither wanted to end up like that. A memory flashed over his mind, he pulled over the device and adjusted it a bit here and there.
"What are you doing?" Jack rolled his eyes, he felt like he was repeating himself, most probably, because he was repeating himself.
"Improving it, not wanna be squash on Atlantis shield.".
"Me neither. You see we think alike." Jack grinned as he studied the younger boy's movement, storing it to his memories for possible future use. When J.J: finished Jack said.
"When the night shift's end will be close, we will make our move. But for now, we will wait, and try to get some rest."
----------------
A lone figure emerged from the ventilation shaft. Jack climbed down first; he landed softly on the floor. He was still wearing one of the SGC uniform, he looked around, seeking out any possible danger. Founding nothing he turned toward his waiting companion, 'The device.' J.J. nodded and started to lower down the alien tool. 'Stay there.' Jack ordered mentally, before he crossed the room and lowered down to the floor the device. He opened the fuse-box, and strapped the Device on it, connected the two. His hand felt slippery, as he switched on the alien device, its humming reassumed him. It was working. There wasn't a turning back anymore.
-----------
Their silent duo reached the Control room; there were just a few men in the room.
"Time for a little diversion." Mumbled Jack and pulled out a cell from his beck packet, seeing J.J.'s questioning gaze. He elaborated further. "While I waited for T, to get the energy cell from the staff weapon, I planted a bit of surprise for them." Jack type in his code and sent out a mail. Suddenly the claxons blared to life, the computers gone crazy, the light flickered on and off. The personals watched it with stunt disbelief for a moment, before they too came to life, and started to work furiously on the computers, trying to get back control without any success.
"Major the computers are down, we can't access to any of it."
"Damn," muttered the ranking officer, "Daniels go check the mainframe, Matthews see if you can access to any computer on this floor and try to take over the control." The man turned toward the SFs. "Was there any report of alien present?"
"No, sir. The other floors didn't even get the alarms up."
"I hope it not another damn virus, if Peters installed something again I kill him myself." raged the senior officer while his subordinates hurried to follow his order. He dismissed the SFs to go check the floor before he turned back toward the computers.
The moment came. Only two people was left in the office, Jack moved like a shadow, before the man knew he grabbed his neck, pressing down on the special point which caused the man to get limp in his arms as he lost consciousness. Jack eased down the officer's body to the floor. The technician still didn't look up from his work; he was left ignorant to the situation around him. Jack stepped up to him, and repeated the motion. He didn't turn to see but he knew, he heard J.J. landing on floor behind him.
He pulled out his cell, sending out the unlocking code, and preyed Carter would never got wind of this or she would hunt him and kill him, herself for all the grief he caused to her over the years by his pretended dumbness.
The signs stopped flashing on the screen; he called up the dialing program. He searched out Atlantis's code. He pulled up one of Carter's program, they used it once anno. The program would delete any trail of the dial from the computer system.
When the Gate started to spin, he turned toward the two men on the floor, grabbed their security cards, the officer's gun and Zat. He could hear running footsteps getting closer to his location.
"J.J. stays close and if you can make a run for it. Do you understand?"
"Yeah."
They were hardly out of the room, when they met the first SF. The man hadn't got the chance to even aim his gun toward them before the Zat's white light covered him. The alarms sound up, this time for real, the security gates started to close down. Jack ran through the corridor toward the Gate room, with J.J. close behind him. They encountered only two more SFs, on their way. The security door was just a feet away from the floor. He urged his young companion to run faster, shoving the boy before him. Shots rushed past just millimeters from his body, his legs. They just wanted to caught him, not kill him. The door was almost closed as he rolled to the other room under it. He fired his Zat at their persuaders.
He was on his feet, rushing toward the now open Stargate, J.J. was waiting for him on the ramp, his gaze brood, like he was remembering something. He pulled out their makeshift GDO and sent a code. He heard as the Gate room's door started to open up, but he didn't look back. He felt J.J. eyes on him. Their eyes met and they exchange a silent agreement, before they stepped inside the wormhole.
