"I have found nothing to indicate where they may have disappeared to. Have you had any luck Major Carter?" Teal'c asked as the Major arrived back at the structure a short time after him.

"No nothing. There isn't one single track. Not one single broken branch. Not one single anything! How can two men just disappear? And don't say by ship. I don't even want to think about that. And besides, wouldn't we have seen or at least heard something like that?" Sam had finally ran out of breath. She had been staring off into the tree line, hoping that she would spot something, anything they had originally missed.

"If a ship had been here we would indeed have heard something. But I do not believe that to be the case. There are marks inside the structure. Come." Teal'c lead Sam inside about twenty five feet. "These are from the boot's of O'Neill and Daniel Jackson. And these are ours from when we were here. But these here are from someone wearing sandals. And there are many of them." As Teal'c showed Sam she could see that there was an incredible amount of foot prints. If someone had taken the Colonel and Daniel there seemed to have been enough to cause some serious harm if that was what they intended.

"Alright Teal'c, I don't like this but we need to go back for reinforcements. We have no idea how many were dealing with, which direction they went, or what condition the Colonel and Daniel may be in. Lets double time it to the Gate and get back as soon as possible and start searching again."

"Indeed. I do not like the idea of leaving them here. But you have a valid point. Let us leave immediately."

Sam and Teal'c took off at a quick jog towards the Gate. Both hoping that they would be able to get back and find their teammates, before something happened to them.


"So are we pretending that 'we like it here and we don't want to leave the cell' or are we going for more of the 'I'm confused but we can still be friends if you don't kill me approach'?" Jack just blankly stared back at Daniel. "Well do you want me to try to figure out their language or not? It sounds like their getting pretty close so make up your mind fast."

"Fine, let's play nice with the skirt wearing natives who already clonked us over the head once today."

'Great Jack's in a sarcastic mood. Just what we need'. Daniel thought. 'If I can't figure out how to communicate with these people and Jack starts up, who knows what could happen. Just the tone of his voice could send them over the edge. Though I can't really blame him, if his head hurts as much as mine then he's got every right to be pissed off. Let's just hope he doesn't piss them off too bad.'

They both looked up as someone approached the door. 'At least he's fully clothed'. The thought ran through both their minds as they glanced at each other. The man said something that even Jack and Daniel could tell was an order. A second later another man stood in front of the door, this one with a skirt, and unlocked it. The first man yet again gave an order, the second one bowed and moved to the side. There were at least five other skirt wearing spear holding men that had moved to stand behind the man that was fully dressed. As the man opened the door and walked in Jack and Daniel could tell instantly he had to be the head honcho. The way he was dressed and the way he held himself stated there was no one higher. Jack and Daniel took a second to glance at each other. The same though once again ran thru their minds. This time the thought was, 'Oh. Crap'.


AN: Sorry it's so short. I'm posting as I write and this wouldn't leave my head till I got it down. Since I wrote it I figured I'd post it too. I thought I'd better stop here though. It's late and if I write to late my head goes in directions I don't always plan for it to. Hope you all like it and thank you so much to those who have reviewed! It means so much to know someone is enjoying it! Thanks again.
