Haley couldn't quite believe her eyes. Standing in front of her was her father, Sam, Daniel, and Teal'c. The astonishment in her eyes matched Jack's. "I don't believe this," she whispered.

"How do we get her out?" Jack wondered.

"It seems the cells are closed in by an electromagnetic device that-"

"CARTER!"

"Sir?"

"Just do what you have to do to get her out of that," Jack sniped.

Somehow Carter got the door to work, Jack didn't feel like trying to think through what she had managed to maneuver and nearly blow up and etc. All he cared about was the fact that the door was open and he could get inside. His body filled with dread as he debated whether or not to accept that this was really his daughter. When she looked up at him with those frightened dark brown eyes he instinctively gathered her into his arms and took her from the cell.

"Daddy?" she confusedly questioned. "This can't be real. This isn't real. I'm having another dream, I know it," she muttered to herself.

"No it's really me," he gently said. Haley started crying, but didn't fight Jack as he carried her down the cavern. Carter took point and Daniel and Teal'c watched their backs. Jack expected a big fight to get Haley out of there, but as Teal'c later pointed out, nobody knew they were they, so their security was very minimal. Jack still felt like things were too easy. In the back of his mind something just wasn't right.

Teal'c volunteered first watch that night so Jack could watch over Haley. She had been sleeping for hours now, which clearly made Jack uneasy. Sam and Daniel sat by his side, urging him to get some rest so they could quickly get home as early as possible in the morning.

Two hours later Teal'c found everybody asleep. He chose not to wake them up so that they could all sleep; he still had plenty of energy left. At 500 hours he turned around quickly when he heard footsteps heading in the opposite direction of their camp. "Where are you going?" She ignored him. Teal'c caught up with her in a matter of seconds and held onto her arm.

"I know you're not real. I know you're not real. I know you're not real," she mumbled to herself.

"I am indeed very real. As are you, O'Neill, Major Carter, and Daniel Jackson."

"I know I'm imagining this. If I just return to them now they won't hurt me too badly."

"Did you attempt to leave once before?" Teal'c pushed on her shoulder slightly and immediately she sat down, still refusing to look him in the eye.

Haley traced figure eights on the ground, her eyes getting heavier. "The last time I imagined you saving me they punished me. It was really bad, I'm not going to let that happen again. I won't live through it!" she started to sob and Teal'c pulled her into a hug.

"You are not imagining things. We have come to rescue you and return you to your home." Jack stepped out of the tent in time to find Haley passed out in Teal'c's arms. "O'Neill, I believe we should leave soon." Jack quietly nodded and took Haley from Teal'c. Hopefully it would only take another two or three hours to get back. He'd bring Haley to the infirmary; Janet would work her magic and give him back the girl. Where he went from there he didn't have a clue.

Haley was immediately taken to the infirmary upon her return to the SGC. With the exception of her brief encounter with Teal'c she had been unconscious since a few minutes after her rescue. Jack was breathing down Janet's neck asking her question after question until Hammond ordered him to report to the briefing room. Janet thanked her nurse for secretly relaying her SOS message to the General.

"They must have beamed her onto their ship, like Thor does, so there really was no way to stop them, right?" Daniel suggested.

"So how would we stop the Gormaan from doing that again DanielJackson?"

"Good question, T. How can I protect her?" Jack asked.

"I have an idea Sir," Sam tentatively suggested. Jack nodded at her to continue. "I think I can rig up a device from some of the few Asguard items we've been given that could possibly link somebody to Haley. If you're within fifty feet of her and she's beamed up you can follow her. That would, of course, require twenty-four hour surveillance."

"I can handle that-"

"Colonel, you will do nothing of the sort, we'll post guards for you," General Hammond stopped him.

"We could help," Carter volunteered.

"It'd be like on a mission, we all take shifts," Daniel added.

"I too would like to partake in watching the young O'Neill," Teal'c stated.

"I think many people around here would be more than happy to help protect Haley," Hammond said. Jack smiled, but felt guilty that he needed everybody to help him with his responsibility. "How long will it take you to make this device, Major?"

"It shouldn't take me more than an hour. If I just use-"

"Eh, eh, Carter, just start working on it. You can explain your geniusness later," Jack shooed her out of the room.

"Sir, I don't think 'geniusness' is a word- ALRIGHT I'm going!" she said, as she was being pushed through the doorway.

"So you really think this device will work Sam?" Daniel questioned as they were walking down to give Haley the device.

"It should. This bracelet has a transceiver that connects to this little device-"

"That looks like a car remote," Daniel noticed.

"I guess," Sam smiled. "If she's beamed anywhere and we hit this red button, it kind of resembles the panic button in a way, not only will it send whoever is holding this device to the same coordinates it will also send an SOS signal to the SGC."

"Sam, your brilliance never ceases to amaze me," Daniel gushed and Sam's cheeks reddened. "It was really quite simple Daniel; all I had to do was take-" her explanation was interrupted by a scream ripping through the corridors of the SGC. The two locked eyes and sprinted to the infirmary. When they arrived a very pale Jack was trying to calm Haley while Janet was checking her vitals.

"Carter did you finish that beamer thingy yet?"

"Yes Sir. It's right here, it was actually quite easy to make, I actually have Siler working on making more receivers for everybody on watch."

"That's wonderful, please just put the device on her Major." Sam reached for Haley's trembling hand to clip on the bracelet. At that moment she could fully understand Jack's snappiness with her. She was feeling uncomfortable watching Haley as well.

"Janet, can we just go home already? If we leave soon I can order in some dinner."

"I've kind of been craving macaroni and cheese," Haley whispered.

"Kraft?" Jack questioned. Haley's eyes lighting up was all the response he needed. "See Doc? I have cooking to do. It's getting late. You know how demanding these kids can be…"

"FINE Colonel. Get out of here. Your first shift of guards will be arriving at 000 hours."

"Thank you thank you thank you. I'll make this up to you somehow!"

"Next time you have a post-mission physical I'll remember that," she slyly warned. Jack held in his best 'd'oh!' and decided to get out of there quickly.

"Carter would you mind helping Haley get out of here while I get my car?"

"Sure Sir." Haley had been rescued in tattered clothes that begged to be disposed of. She had since been wearing a hospital gown.

"I'll give you some scrubs to wear home," Janet suggested.

"I have some clothes in my quarters," Haley said, slowly sitting up, but regretting it as her head started to spin. "Would you mind getting them for me Sam?"

"I'll send somebody to get them," Janet offered. Right now Sam couldn't take her eyes off of Haley, and she wasn't quite sure if she wanted the girl to know that yet.
