A/N: You're SO lucky that I'm in a good mood right now because one of my classes was canceled for the day (professor was sick) so I only had to go to three ... and I got theUrban Decay stuff I ordered a few weeks ago. They're SO AWESOME!

She smirked at him, a smarmy response coming to her throat, but she bit back the words before they could come out. She turned back to the detectives, who were watching the show with interest. "Did you sign them, yet?"
Bobby and Alex handed her their agreements in a heartbeat, having already gone through and signed their souls away if they told anyone what they were about to find out. Jack's eyes fixed on Deakins, "You know, Captain, we don't have to tell you a thing about this case. We're doing you a favor by offering to keep you in the loop."
With a sigh Jimmy Deakins opened the folder and signed his name in all the necessary places before handing it to Carter. "Thank you, Captain," she said before moving to hand the agreements to Mitchell and stand by Teal'c.
Deakins nodded once, knowing that she was right and they didn't have to include him in anything at all. He watched the Air Force Major General rummage through a folder of information, pulling out a set of pictures.
"I'll let Daniel explain the history of what I'm about to tell you later," Jack said, putting the pictures on the table in front of the three civilians. One was a picture of a big round object that had engravings all around it, another was of a snake like thing with gills, and the third was of a man wearing a perfectly tailored suit.
Jack pointed to the first one, "This is the Stargate. It's a device that transports you to other worlds via a wormhole. For more information please see Carter after we finish this thing." Next he pointed to the second one, "When we opened the Stargate ten years ago, we came face to face with pure evil. This is an alien known as a Goa'uld. Pure evil and bent on universal domination. It's a parasitical life form that burrows into the neck of a host – most commonly human. And this, is the man we're looking for. His name is Ba'al and he's the most ruthless Goa'uld out there right now. Any questions?"
Bobby raised his hand, much to the amusement of SG-2. Jack grinned, "Yes, Bobby?"
"Why did he target Fraiser and Douglas?"
The grin left Jack's face and his eyes became hard, "Cassie was the sole survivor when her home planet was destroyed eight years ago. The same metal the Stargate is made out of is in her blood, and she's rather advanced evolution wise. Scott Douglas is … my nephew."
Alex cocked her head, "We didn't just sign a non-disclosure agreement to have you lie to us, General. We need to know who he is to be able to find him."
Jack silently appealed to his wife, who took over by stepping up to stand beside her husband, "Scott Douglas is the name of General O'Neill's clone. While our war with the Goa'uld was going on, we allied ourselves with a very powerful race known as the Asgard. They have the technology to clone people and things. About two years ago, General O'Neill was cloned by a rogue Asgard scientist named Loki. The clone only matured to sixteen years old and when the situation was made clear and Loki captured by Thor, the Supreme Commander of the Asgard Fleet, MJ – as we call him, took on the persona of Scott Douglas: child protégé and started school at NYU."
Daniel raised his hand, "Are you sure we're allowed to tell them all this, Sam?"
Sam shrugged, glanced at her husband, then at the three police officers and then back to Daniel, "Why not?"
Daniel's inquiry was then directed at Jack, who shrugged and said, "She has a point. They already signed the forms, and I make the rules. I'm The Man."
Bobby and Deakins grinned at that while Alex chuckled quietly. Sam just grinned back at the three of them and said, "He actually has a nameplate that says that. The president and vice president thought it would be fitting."
Jack mock glared at his wife before getting on with the impromptu briefing, "Now, Daniel, would you care to share with the class what those handy notes left by ol' Bocce Ba'al say?"
Daniel looked down at the first note in front of Vala, "Well, when he kidnapped Scott, he left a rather taunting message about how we'll never find him and that Scott gets to relive your experience with him right after Kanan screwed you over, Jack."
The General's hard face hid barely contained rage that all were able to see, however, his response to the news was not what most in the room thought it was going to be. His eyes were hard and determined as they turned to Daniel, "How the hell did he get a sarcophagus onto Earth without us finding out?"
Sam looked down at her shoes (a pair of tennis shoes purchased hurriedly on the way to One Police Plaza after she was beamed to the Prometheus with only a pair of street clothes and a towel) finding the new leather more interesting than the fear and anger she saw on the faces of everyone around her in the room. She put her hand on Jack's arm and softly said, "It's possible the sarcophagus was already on Earth, or that he somehow got the Trust to help."
Jack nodded slightly, letting his wife know that he was now in better control of his emotions. He turned back to Daniel and in a low voice asked, "And the second note?"
"Written in Ancient – one of the old dialects that Anubis was so fond of back in the day. It pretty much says that if we don't find him within twenty-four hours he's going to make Cassie his new queen in front of Scott, and then let her torture Scott the same way Ba'al tortured Jack three years ago."
"Carter?" Jack asked, glancing to his left where his wife stood patiently, "What do you think?"
"It's an overly obvious trap and we have no choice," Sam responded, her face relaying a façade of cool emotions and complete control while inside she raged at how much she wanted to kill Ba'al and find Cassie and Scott before it was too late.

A/N: I tried to keep it light while dealing with the whole kidnapping because that's so much of what you see on SG-1: they have the fate of the universe lying in the balance and they're cracking jokes as they (Sam and Daniel with a little help from Teal'c, Jack and the numerous eggheads at the SGC) save the world.
