Jack had an SGC employee take Homer in to their vet while he waited for the SGC to find a lead on Sam. He felt even worse and scared when he found out the boys had been picked up from school and were also missing…
"Jack we found a lead! Thor was able to locate Sam…she's in an abandoned warehouse just south of the city." Daniel suddenly cried out running out onto the porch where Jack sat with his daughter clutched tightly in his arms, passed out from exhaustion and crying. Daniel definitely didn't miss the tears that were silently sliding down his own face.
"We're going to get her back Jack…and the boys. We're going to get them all back. I promise. No matter what we have to do, we are going to get them." He wasn't going to lie; he just wasn't going to verbalize how terrified he was for his 'sister' and 'nephews'. Daniel knew how badly it would affect Jack if both the boys and Sam were never found or brought back alive…he had already witnessed one child loss with his best friend. Another child loss of two boys and a wife was going to be ten times worse and add to the trauma.
"Let's go get them back…" Jack suddenly spoke deathly low as he stood with Grace securely and tightly in his arms as he walked into the house with Daniel close behind and directly over to Vala.
"Vala stay with her…please." Vala merely looked up into the older man's eyes to see how dead serious he was and how much this meant to him. Simply nodding with a confident look on her face she took the small, completely asleep child into her arms and held her tightly.
"I won't let her out of my sight sir." Vala stated firmly with Grace now securely in her hold.
"Jack…call me Jack, please Vala." He added patting her shoulder before jogging out the door with Daniel, Teal'c, and some back up to follow.

"Mom? Mom wake up! Come on!" Jacob suddenly realized his mother was slowly falling asleep from exhaustion and started shaking her making her sit up quickly in return and tighten her grasp on them. They had been sitting in there for over three hours, clearly it was affecting her.
"Stay put…" Getting up slowly Sam started struggling her way around the room trying to find an escape, the door was obviously locked so that was out but she thought she'd try the ceiling tiles seeing as there wasn't a window. That didn't work either…they were literally stuck in the room. Plopping down in exhaustion and frustration Sam dropped to the cot and leaned back against the wall before both boys came to her side and snuggled in on both sides.
"I'm sorry guys…there isn't a way out. I'm so sorry. I love you both, very much." She felt something get caught in her throat and felt tears prickling behinds her closed eye lids as she held them both to her sides tightly.
"We love you too mom. We'll get out of here." Jacob tried to reassure her hugging her tightly as he took one of her hands in his own.
"Dad will find us and save us!" Nicolas suddenly exclaimed happily to see his mother open her eyes and give him a glimpse of hope.
"That's right…daddy will find us. He'll come. We just have to wait for him and then we'll be out of here in no time and back home with him, Grace, and Homer eating ice cream and watching tons of movies and playing tons of games together." Sam tried coming up with all the different things the children loved doing and tried to take their minds off of the situation at hand so they wouldn't worry so much.
"I want chocolate!" Nicolas randomly called out happily thinking of all the wonderful snacks they could eat.
"Choc-…" Just as Sam started to respond to her youngest son the door flew open once more.
"Get up! Now!" Sam just sat there and stared at him with an disapproving look on her face and didn't move an inch other than pulling the boys into her side tighter. "I said get up!" Ba'al suddenly screamed in her face as he closed the distance between them. He wrapped his hand in her long blonde hair and yanked her up off the cot and pulled her in close.
"What do you want now…" She snapped back sneering in his face with hatred pouring out of her eyes.
"It's time for us all to go on a little trip. Grab the boys and let's go." Ba'al ordered to another man who came in and grabbed each boy by the arm and led them out of the room behind Ba'al and Sam.
"Where are you taking us?" Fighting his grasp only got her a hard punch to the side causing her to double over and Ba'al to wrap an arm around her waist and practically carry her down the corridor.
"On a trip." He snapped back in his Goa'uld voice scaring the children who stared at the man in fear while Sam tensed in his arms.
"Let them go! Please take me and let them go!" She tried bargaining with him as he stopped before a flight of broken down cement stairs.
"I will consider it. Now let's go." Pulling her tighter against his side Ba'al led her down the stairs while the other large man pulled the boys along behind them. Eventually they were taken to the basement, and all around them were five individual holding cells about 5x5. Along with the cells were two random solid chairs surrounded by medical tools, a fish tank with green liquid inside so you couldn't see anything, and Sam definitely didn't miss the sarcophagus in the corner of the room. On the cells there was a large glass window about a foot or two off the ground and up to the ceiling so you could look inside the holding cell. Sam and Nicolas were thrown into their own cells while Jacob on the other hand was strapped to one of the chairs by his wrists and ankles, terrified.
"Let him go! Please! Don't hurt him!" Sam was screaming now as she pounded against the glass trying to break through…unfortunately her screams were muffled and they couldn't really make out what she was saying only that she was screaming. Nic on the other hand curled up in the corner between the wall and the glass so he wouldn't have to watch. Ba'al just smirked at Sam before grabbing a needle and poking Jake in the arm with it directly into his vein…Sam could only watch as he son went limp in the chair. She couldn't do anything…and suddenly a curtain fell in front of the glass blocking her entire view of Jacob.
"NO!" Sam screamed at the top of her lungs slamming her enclosed fists against the glass as tears started streaming down her face. Slowly but surely she slid to the ground sobbing hysterically before losing consciousness.
