Sam couldn't deny it was getting boring in the barn. Although SG1 had been imprisoned more times than she cared to remember, it didn't stop the long spells from getting boring. At least they weren't being tortured. She could at least be thankful for that. She wondered idly why no-one had come from the SGC. Even though they weren't due back for another five days, they were supposed to check in every 24 hours. Perhaps General Hammond had dismissed it, although it seemed unlike him. Jack had tried several times to knock the door down. When Adrae had left two days ago, she had closed the door behind her so as not to arouse the suspicions of the villagers. From the energy waves Sam had seen, the barrier wasn't affected by whether the door was open or closed. Jack hadn't seemed to register that though, had had continued ramming the door with his shoulders, and later idly throwing stones and debris from the ground at it. At first they had all helped, and then they'd realised their efforts were in vain, and stopped.
"I say we're due a team night." Jack announced as he slumped next to them. He had soon learnt to avoid contact with the door, but throwing missiles at it seemed to satisfy him.
"Movies at mine?" Daniel suggested, playing along.
"Perhaps we could watch Star Wars." Sam, Jack and Daniel all groaned as Teal'c announced his favourite movie ever.
"Teal'c, we watched Star wars last time. Besides it my turn to choose what we watch." Sam smiled.
"What! Sam, you know it's my turn!" Daniel cried, punching Sam light-heartedly on the shoulder.
"Oh yeah?" Sam challenged "What about the time before last. I distinctly remember watching that tomb raider-"
"Kids, kids. It's MY turn." Jack announced, glancing smugly at Sam and Daniel, who were in the beginnings of a catfight.
"What!" They cried in unison. Daniel immediately started pounding him playfully, but Sam hung back. They were, after all, on duty. Teal'c, who had been watching the chain of events with a bemused expression on his face cut in, before the situation could get awkward.
"Actually, it is my turn. After my last choice of Star Wars, we watched Major Carter's movie, then Daniel Jackson's 'Tomb raider. Then, on O'Neill's turn, I exchanged my cake for his choice to be star wars. And so, we can watch Star Wars again." Looking smug with himself, Teal'c leant back, allowing the other members of SG1 to think what he'd said through. A moment later, Sam turned to Teal'c.
"You TRADED!" She cried.
"Indeed." Turning to Jack this time, she exploded.
"YOU TRADED! WE HAVE TO WATCH STAR WARS TWICE IN A ROW BECAUSE YOU WANTED A PIECE OF CAKE!"
"It was a good piece of cake." Jack justified himself.
"Is there a problem with watching Star Wars again?" Teal'c asked curiously, a wounded look crossing his eyes for a fraction of a second. Sam sighed.
"No, Teal'c. I was only joking." When Teal'c smiled, Sam jack and Daniel sighed inwardly.
"Please, not the cowboy hat…" Daniel muttered.
"I believe I shall wear my 'cowboy' hat." Teal'c decided. Sam, Jack and Daniel groaned inwardly. Deciding to change the subject, Daniel quickly brought them back to their current situation.
"It's been two days." He sighed, rubbing his glasses, pointing out the obvious.
"I guess she's not coming." Jack said, suddenly serious.
"Indeed." SG1 sat back in silence, contemplating why Adrae hadn't come. Perhaps she'd just got scared and ran away. They could hardly blame her; she looked like she'd seen enough.
They didn't have long to think however, as the sound of heavy footfall pulled them into full awareness. Jack gestured for them to take up positions either side of the door. A few minutes later, the footsteps stopped. There was a whir, and then the doors burst open. They were ready. Sam lunged at the soldier nearest to her, wrapping her arm around his neck, hoping to starve him of oxygen just long enough for him to pass out. Teal'c had landed a swift punch to one of them, and Daniel was keeping him on the ground. Jack was dodging back, drawing the soldiers into open ground to give him a better chance at knocking enough out to escape. There weren't many guards, a dozen at the most, but they were wearing armour and had, after all, the spear weapons. Teal'c was onto his third soldier, and a cluster was gathering around him, giving Jack and Sam a chance to take them out from behind. Even Daniel managed to land a few punches. It looked like they were winning, until a man who they assumed must be Dipmuck stepped forward, holding a glowing spear. He aimed it at Teal'c, who pulled one of the soldiers in front of him just in time. While Dipmuck was distracted, Sam, who was closest, pulled his legs, sending him tumbling onto the floor. She started trying to wrestle the spear off him, with Jack, Daniel and Teal'c keeping the soldiers away.
With a cry, Sam let go of the spear. It had become white hot, and had sent out some sort of energy beam, knocking her over. She felt no pain, other than were it had burnt her hands, so she guessed it wasn't the same beam that had hit Daniel. She struggled to get up, but realised she was paralysed from the neck downwards. She cursed inwardly, desperately hoping the effects were only temporary. Out of the corner of her eye she saw first Daniel, then Jack, and finally Teal'c brought down by a similar burst of light. Looking up into the leering face of Dipmuck, she just had time to register herself being hoisted upward before she passed out.
