Chapter Two

SG1 and Jack arrived top side of the moutain with a jeep waiting to take them to Peterson. When they arrived at Peterson, a leiutenant handed Jack the flight plane and where they would be going.

"Thank you Leiutenant Barnes" O'Neill said with a quiet voice.

"Your welcome sir" Barnes answered.

As the leiutenant left, Daniel turned to Jack and asked "Where are we going from here?"

"Well, Danny we are going to Slocum Air Force Base in New York and then will get a commercial flight from JFK and then on to Ankara, Turkey then take a ride to Arrat and then a 3 day hike to the archaeological site." Jack answered with a bit of smugness.

"Jack you didn't have to be smug about it." Danny just shaking his head knowing that Jack and Phil were going to like each other the moment they met.

They all turned back to the heliocopter that would take them to Slocum. When they arrived at Slocum Air Force base, they grabbed their gear then took a car to JFK Airport where they boarded a plane headed for Ankara, Turkey.

As SG1 took their seats in the airplane after putting their overhead luggage away.

Sam was looking at Jack wondering what was going through his mind, just then Jack happened to look at her and then she knew that he was thinking of Kanan of the To'kra and then all the other 'snakes' that they had met over the years. Jack was looking apprehensive but was trying not to let it show.

Daniel on the other hand was wondering 'what now'. They all thought that with Anubis gone that the Goau'ld had been defeated and that would the last of them but then he remembered Ba'al and shuddered. Well, he told himself we will just have to wait and see.

Teal'c was, well Teal'c but was thinkng along the same lines as Daniel and Jack. After being a slave to the Goau'ld all these years and then spending 8 to 9 years with the Tauri and knowing that they were helping freeing his people from the 'false gods'. He also wondered who would turn up next.

The group arrived in Ankara, Turkey. Disembarked there and headed for a transportation that would take them to the archaeological site that Dr. Ballard was at. It was a long ride from there to Arrat.

When they finally arrived they asked for lodging for one night before taking their three day trek to the site.

The next morning Jack, Sam, Daniel were looking for coffee while Teal'c put out his packet of tea. The drank their coffee/tea then after breakfast they gathered up their supplies and started their 3 day trek to Arrat.

Once arriving at Arrat, Daniel started looking for the tents that were set up. Once he had spotted the tents he started looking for Phil and then noticed her grabbing one Turkish Military H&K and started shooting her partner. Daniel looked over at Jack and noticed that he saw it too. Once her partner was down, he started talking really loud just Skara did when Jack shot him. "Phil, Phil!"

"Thomas are you alright?"

"No this darn thing is hurting me, Argh!" And then his eyes turned a light yellow and then he started to raise his hand out and then all of a sudden there was a knife in his hand. The voice was tenny and arrogant, "You will pay for this"

"I don't think so" a shot sounded behind Phil that sounded liked it was ticked off and then a 9 mil went hitting Thomas in the shoulder and then he went on the ground.

Phyllis turned around when the voice sounded and noticed that Daniel and a man she only met once, but who could forget Major Jonathon "Jack" O'Neill. She also noticed that Jack was the who was talking and that Daneil was just putting the 9 mil back in his holster. 'How did Daniel learn how to use that and be so accurate where he was shooting?' she wondered.

Daniel came up to Phil then and asked "I gather that his curiousity got the better of him."

Phyllis nodded her head, "Yea it did."

"It is good to see you. How long has it been?" Daniel gave her a hug.

"10 years. The last time I saw you, you were being put into a limo by the driver and talking to a very old lady."

Daniel rolled his eyes at the old comment and then said, "The lady that you saw me with was Catherine Langford."

Phyllis' eyes turned to Daniel so fast he thought her head was going to come off, with astoishment in her voice "THAT was Catherine!"

"Yea, it was," Daniel answered. Then hearing a voice clear its throat he turned and looked right at Jack, "Jack, Sam, Murray my I present my cousin Dr. Phyllis Ballard."

Sam shook hands with her while Murray bowed slightly in Phil's direction and then Phyllis turned to Jack and said, "The last time I saw you, you were in bad shape. I am glad that you are now well." Then Phyllis turned back to Daniel, "So where have you been?"

"Ah Classified"

"Don't pull that with me my dear cousin, answer my question where have been?"Phil said pointedly.

Jack looked on with a smirk on his face, He was going to like working this woman she did not pull any punches. But then he noticed Thomas and sobered up real quick. "I hate to put a damper on the reunion but someone explain to me why he opened that 'thing' in the first place?"
