"Can't hurt to try."Teyla thought. Inspired by Rodney and John moving closer Teyla had decided to try one more thing.

Moving back a few feet, Teyla crouched down and then launched herself forward. Her arms spread wide in front as she 'flew' toward the invisible barrier.

Teyla hit the energy field hard and bounced back tumbling head over feet. She hit the back energy field and felt a sharp pain as an electric current flowed through her. Teyla had a last glimpse of John and Rodney before everything went dark as her consciousness faded.


Just as they were wrapping up their briefing with Landry the phone rang.

"I'll send them down."Landry replied as he hung up the receiver.

"Send us where?"Mitchell asked warily. He was so tired that he could drop where he stood and sleep for a month.

"One of the techs going over the car found something that you'll find interesting."

"Let's go, Daniel."Mitchell ordered quietly as he headed toward the office door.

Jackson followed Mitchell silently wondering what could've been so important that it couldn't have waited until they had some down time.


Sam left their quarters a few minutes later and Dean let him go. At the moment Dean had no energy left to argue.

More than anything Dean wanted to believe in Sam's faith that they would find something. But Dean knew he couldn't get his hopes up and he couldn't let his brother cling to a false hope.

Dean sank down on the bed and leaned against the wall. Some how he had to convince Sam that going all or nothing wasn't the way to beat the deal.

Hell, Dean thought with a smirk, it was after all the Winchester way. Especially when their backs were against the wall. Maybe, just maybe he should let Sam hope a little.
