"Stop," Daniel hissed, crouching down. He held his hand up, listening once more trying to search out the sound that had caught his ear. Very faintly he could hear water drip but that wasn't what had made him pause.
Inching closer to the corner, Daniel leaned forward, hoping that he wouldn't see two things: Priors or that he was entering the same room after walking around for 2 hours. Holding his breath, he closed his eyes, and eased back to his team. Motioning them further back down the narrow hall they had traveled, he whispered his report.
"Priors. About five of them. They are just standing in a circle, so I don't know what that means."
"Weren't you a Prior at one point, Doctor?" Blanc said.
"Yes, thank you for bring that up. However, not helpful in this situation." Daniel bit his lip, trying to think. "Our injections maybe wearing off, and they could be sensing us."
Foster shook his head. "No, Doctor, the ones we took were three concentrated doses, so it will last us the full 72 hours you wanted before anyone else was alerted."
"Maybe we are getting closer to where they are keeping the prisoners."
Foster took out the tracking device once more and nodded. "The life signs are a lot closer to ours," he said pointing to the small cluster of bright red dots, which were them, and to the cluster of blue dots, which they all hoped lead to where Sam was.
"That's a start," Daniel said, studying the screen. "However, we still have to get over the Priors out there."
"Shoot our way through?"
Daniel had a flash back of Cam when he encountered his first Prior when they first began to run. "No. We need to know what they are doing." Pausing he tried to channel Sam's creative ingenuities. "Can we use the EYE?"
"To spy on them?" Foster said already examining the device that Daniel had taken out. "I think Blanc can do it. He was trained as a Computer Mechanic before becoming a soldier."
"They like to point out I was a geek," Blanc grumbled.
"I know the feeling. Let's see what we can do here."
