Chapter five

"Well, even Selmac was surprised with what you just said and she says hello and it's about time you two get together. She is happy for you both and is also willing to help save our families."

"Thanks, Selmac, and you too, dad. Sir, any word from the Asgard?"

"Nothing yet, but they might show up at the last moment to help out."

"Yes, Thor has great timing when he comes to rescue us!"

"Ok, we better all sit down and decide what plan of action we are going to take." Everyone sat down. Jacob sat next to Sam.

"Well sir, I was thinking, the first thing we need is a copy of the blue prints of the building and to find out what sort of alarms that they have. I have a couple of devices that might knock them out and the same with the cameras. We need to find out where the main power source is and if there is a back up generator about as well. We also need to know how many men and what weapons they have and where everyone is being held. With that I can rig up a heat sensor device, which might help us out also sir"

"Sam, what about the Zats, could they knock them out?"

"I have thought of that, but they might be using Goa'uld technology. But if I can knock them out long enough, you could use the Zats to finish them off."

"How many times?" Jack asked.

"Three would take care of it, I think two would work, but just to be on the safe side."

"Ok, how long would it take to do up Major?"

"Well, with dad and Selmac's help, about two hours to start, but we could do the rest on the way to Los Angeles on the plane, sir. Plus with your permission sir, I would like to take the Asgard transporter devices with us. Thor can let us know that he is close by and he can make the devices glow to signal us that he is here, that is if we haven't seen him before we go in."

"That's a good idea Major, but what would happen if you get caught and they get hold of the devices?"

"Well, it would be a shocking experience for them, sir. It would be like getting a zat shock, just enough to knock them out. When I was with Thor a few years ago fighting the replicators, on the way back, he said that he would give us some of the devices. He has a copy of our DNA and our fingerprints, which is included on the devices. They would know who we were as soon as we touched it. It would know if say, Senator Kinsey picked it up. It would notice that his prints or DNA did not match and he would get a shock from it." Sam said, with a grin on her face.

"Shocking!" Jack said, making Sam giggle and Jacob and Hammond chuckled. Daniel just smiled, shaking his head. Teal'c just raised an eyebrow.

"I do not understand, O'Neill!"

"Teal'c, what the Colonel. was trying to say was, well, think about Senator Kinsey getting an electric shock from one of Thor's devices."

Teal'c thought about what Sam had just said.

"I understand now, thank you for explaining it to me Major Carter."

"Sam, what about me and Selmac?"

"Well, Thor has a copy of Jolinar's protein marker and my DNA, so you can use the devices as we have the same blood type and the same protein marker as well because of Selmac, that was one thing I did talk to Thor about. The Asgard now know the difference between the Tok'ra and the Goa'uld, so there should be no problems at all."

"How do they know when they don't have any symboites to get samples from?"

"Yes they do dad, the protein marker and Naquada left from Jolinar and the symboite from Teal'c, that is how."

"Oh, ok, that's a good idea."

"Daniel, can you get a copy of the building plans, wiring, that sort of thing from the net for us to look at?"

"Yeah, sure thing Sam, anything else? "

"Yeah, find out who owns the building while you are at it."

"Ok, I'll go and start doing that now. Teal'c want to come and help me on this one?"

"I will help Daniel Jackson." Then they both left the room.

"Sir, have you got a plane for us to use?"

"Yes Major, there will be one ready and waiting on the tarmac."

"Good, now I better get to work and get things started, dad, are you ready?"

"Yep, we are ready."

"Ok, you know where my lab is, I'll meet you there in a minute."

"Ok!" Then Jacob left the room.

"Major Davis should be here shortly. I'll let him know what's happening and I'll go and let the president know what is happening so far. Oh and Colonel, Major, good luck! "

"Thank you sir," they both said at the same time.

Then he left them alone to talk. Sam turned to look at Jack; she took her hand and put it on his. She noticed that he was quiet throughout the briefing.

"Jack?" He looked at her.

She could see how sad he had been through the whole briefing, thinking about the boys and everyone. She stood up, and pulled him with her. She then put her free hand on his face. He closed his eyes when her hand touched the side of his face and she saw a tear falling down his cheek. She let go of his hand and stepped forward and the wrapped her arms around him in a hug. He put his arms around her, holding onto her. She rubbed his back like she did last night.

She could see General Hammond through the stargate chart on the window. He was looking at his two best officers, and he knew that Jack was quiet during the debriefing. Then Major Davis walked into the briefing room and he was shocked with what he saw. Sam put her finger to her lips, and waved her hand for him to leave them alone.

He turned to see General Hammond wave for him to go into his office. Once in there, Hammond asked him to close the door. When he did that and sat down, General Hammond explained what he just witnessed. At that time, Jack and Sam pulled apart.

"Feeling better now?" Sam asked.

"Yes, thanks Sam, you know how to make me feel good"

"Yes, well when this is all over, and everyone is settled in, how about you take me to your cabin and we go fishing? As I recall, you said that the bass grow to this big?"

She showed him with her hands stretched wide, making him chuckle and smile. Jack knew that she could make him smile and cheer him up.

"Come on, we've got heaps of things to do this morning and time is running out!"

They both left the briefing room and headed towards Sam's lab. When they got there, Jacob was waiting for Sam.

"Sam, is there anything I can do, since I can't concentrate on the mission?"

"Yes, for starters, my brain needs fuel, and so does yours, so how about you get us something to eat? Anything is fine by me," then she turned to look at her dad.

"Dad, would you like something to eat from the mess hall?"

"Yeah, I'll have whatever Sam's having Jack, and thanks!"

"That's ok, Jacob, I'll be back soon as I can," Jack said with a sad smile on his face. Sam grabbed his hand.

"Jack, remember everything is going to be ok. When you get back with the food, we can talk some more then, ok?"

"Yeah, ok." Sam gave his hand a squeeze before letting go.

Then he left to go and get them some breakfast. Sam turned to look at her dad, before heading over to one of the drawers. She opened it up and got some doohickies out, then closed it. She turned to put the items on the table before going over to another part of the lab to retrieve some more parts from two of the cupboards. When she got them and put them on the table, she looked at her father.

"What?"

"Do you think Jack will be ok, Sam?"

"Well, we will know when the time comes. He is still in shock dad, and I can't blame him. Don't worry, when the time comes, his command mode will take over. When that happens, then we know he is ready to kick ass." This made Jacob chuckle. Sam started working on her one of her doohickies

"Sam, you've been hanging about Jack too long!"

"Dad, we have known one another for over seven years, what did you expect?"

"Well, you should have heard what Teal'c said this morning."

"What did he say this morning?" She asked while she went to open up a drawer in front of her to get some of her tools out.

"He said a joke."

Sam stopped what she was doing and looked at her father with both raised eyebrows.

"A joke, you're kidding right?"

"Nope, you can even ask George and Daniel about it, it's true!" Sam just shook her head, then went back to doing what she was doing before.

A few minutes later, Jack showed up with a tray in his hands and an airman behind him with a tray in his hands also. After they both put them on the bench, Jack dismissed the guy. Jack got all three of them pancakes and maple syrup, bacon, eggs, toast, and orange juice. Jacob and Jack started eating while Sam was still working on the device. Jack noticed that she hadn't eaten anything so he cut up her pancakes for starters.

"Sam, come and get your breakfast, will ya?"

"In a minute, sir."

Jack knew that she would keep on working, so he got up from the chair and picked up her fork. He got a piece of the pancake with it and picked up the plate. He walked over to where she was. Sam stopped what she was doing and turned to look at Jack.

"Open wide," Jack said,

Sam looked at what he had in his hands, so she opened her mouth and he put the fork in her mouth. She closed it and he pulled the fork away from her mouth. He let her chew the pancake and swallow.

"Sir, you should eat your breakfast."

"Nope, you first, ok, now open wide!"

She did what he asked her to and he did the same thing. Jacob was watching what was happening in front of him. He carried on with his breakfast, while watching Jack feed Sam, while she was working. Every now and then he ate some of his, and he also gave her some juice. He must have known what she was like because he had a straw in her drink. After breakfast, Jacob helped Sam with finishing and testing the device.

Jack took the trays back to the mess hall before rounding up some men he knew he could trust for the mission. He and the men he had selected met in the mess hall. There were eight of them, including Ferretti, who he had known since the first Abydos mission. Jack had explained what had happened in the past twenty-four hours, and what might happen if they didn't rescue the visitors. They were all shocked and they agreed that they would all help with the rescue.

Daniel and Teal'c got all the information that they needed from the Internet. Once they were done and had printed out the paper work that was needed as well a copy of the building plans, they went into the mess hall where Jack was talking to the men. Sam and Jacob had finished with the two devices and they had been tested.

Sam called General Hammond to let him know that it was done and that they would meet in the mess hall. Sam and Jack finished half an hour earlier than Sam had planned. When they all arrived there, Sam looked at the layout of the building.

Jack and Jacob talked about where the security devices might be hidden. Once that was sorted out, they decided to use tranquilliser guns to knock them out. Once that was done, they all geared up and they shipped out earlier then first thought. Major Davis went with them so he could keep contact between General Hammond and Jack, since he was in charge of the mission. Teal'c got the Asgard transporter devices from four of the safes. He put them in the cases where they would be kept till it was time to use them, just in case Thor showed up to help out.

They were on their way to Peterson Air Force base, which was fifteen minutes away. Hammond contacted the Joint Chiefs to let them know that they were on their way. They knew when they get on board the plane, and how long it was going to take them to get to Los Angeles Air Force base. Luckily, Major Reynolds knew the area well, so to save everyone time, they would take the helicopters from the base to an area where they could land to drop them off and then use Air Force SUV trucks to get to the address, which was only three blocks away.

When Sam did some working out, she informed Jack and the others that it would take them twenty minutes to get in, disable the devices and cameras. Tranquillise the NID men and women, and rescue Dr. Fraser and everyone else that was in there and get them out, hopefully with the mirror as well.

At the building where Senator Kinsey and the rogue NID have kept the alternate reality Janet Fraser, Charlie K, Sha're Jackson and the kids in the locked rooms there, the detainees did not know that they were going to be rescued soon.

Harry Mayborne showed up at the building. Two of the guards saw him and recognised him, so they carried on checking the area out. He went inside the building and went up the stairs, to where Charlie K was. He walked into the room, after he unlocked the door, to see them there. Charlie K walked over to him. They noticed that the guards were outside and wouldn't be listening to them talk.

"Is every thing ok here? Did you all get enough sleep last night?" Harry said.

"Yes, thanks, we did and the kids had some breakfast this morning."

"Have you seen Mrs. Jackson yet?" Charlie knew what he was up to.

"No, I haven't yet, but Share's daughter has been asking for her and for Daniel as well."

"What's her name?"

"Abigail."

"Ok, can you get her, and I'll take her to see her mother and brother. Is Dr. Fraser with her?"

"Yes, to see if everything is alright."

"Ok, good. Can you get her and I'll take you both now?"

"Ok."

Charlie K went over and picked up Abigail, and followed Harry to where Sha're and DJ's room was. When they got there, one of the guards unlocked the door for them and opened it. When they walked into the room, Janet and Sha're looked to see who it was, when Abigail called out.

"Ma ma!"

Charlie put her on the bed and she crawled over to give her mother a hug and a kiss.

"I missed you mama."

"I missed you too Abby," Sha're said as they both hugged. While that was happening, Harry whispered to Charlie.

"I have made contact with someone who you know. Hopefully they will be here soon, have you told the others yet?"

"Yes, my wife and Charlie O'Neill. He will know what to do when the time comes up."

"Good, I better get you back to the kids, before Kinsey shows up."

Charlie and Harry left the room after Charlie gave his wife a kiss before leaving. Soon as they got back to the room, Harry left to do a couple of things before the cavalry arrived.
