Jack leant against the dorm wall and waited with his backpack at his feet for some one to go in. Finally a group of giggling girls started for the door. Jack grabbed his bag and they stopped.
"We're not letting you in you know. I mean shouldn't you be in school or something?" Damn being a kid. Jack shot them a smile.
"I'm suspended, my folks sent me up to stay with my sister." They scoffed at him.
"So whose your sister then?"
"Cassey Fraiser." They laughed at.
"Cassey's an only child. Everyone knows that."
"We were in foster care together for a few years she's as good as a big sister to me," They looked doubtful. "Fine," he said thinking on his feet. "Just tell her Jack O'Neil's outside and needs to see her." The shook their heads and went in. Once they were gone Jack shook his head an waited for another person to try.
"Hey, Cas! Some guy outside says he's Jack O'Neil and wants to talk to you." Cassey was confused. What would Jack be doing here?
"Thanks."
"You acturlly know him?"
"Yeah, I'll see you later okay." She headed down the stairs worrying about her Mom. She opened the door.
"Cassey!" She looked over it was some kid.
"Who are you and how do you know my name?"
"It's me, Jack."
"How do you know that name?" She was very worried now and very suspicious.
"Well it's sort of Jack, look, I just need to talk to you. Me and a couple of friends." The others walked out from round the corner and Cassey went to close the door but Jack got his foot in the door. Rya'c stepped forward and lifted his hat a little.
"I am Rya'c there is a situation which we wish to discus with you and we are in need of a place to hide." Cassey stared for a minute then turned to look at James.
"And who are you? A member of the new cadet team at the SGC?" James laughed at that.
"No, I'm Daniel's foster kid. James. Pleased to meet you. I've heard a lot."
"James? I think mom mentioned you. Said Daniel didn't have a clue what he was doing taking on a teenage."
"Sounds like her, she gave me a check up a while back. I had a cold and Daniel was in complete panic that he'd given me this off world disease they'd had on the last place he went to."
"Seriously?" She laughed and James nodded. Cassey invited them in and dragged them up to her room.
"So…aliens have brainwashed the SGC and now because you're the only people who know they're coming after you. You want to hide here for a while?" James nodded. "You're sure about this?"
"We were right in front of Jack earlier the two of us and he didn't twig it was us." Jack said, "I mean I'm no genius but I think I'd recognise myself and he know James well enough to spot him." The clone pointed out.
"I don't know. I don't want to people in danger by having you here."
"Yeah but if they come here they'll assume you know so your sort of buggered anyway now." James pointed out apologetically.
"And why did you come here?"
"No adult is going to believe three kids unless they knew us. The best bet would have been to tell the guys at the SGC or the pentagon but SGC are out and the pentagon is going their way. You know about the SGC and you're not like required to clear stuff through a system." James explained
"I guess." Cassey looked tired.
"Before we decide anything else. Can we stay here at least for the night? If you want we can be gone first thing in the morning." Cassey shook her head.
"Where would you go?"
"I recon between us we could hide out in the woods for a while. Head up in to Canada."
"Look you can stay the night. I'll decide anything else in the morning. Now I have a lecture in ten minutes so I'm out of here. If anyone sees you other than the guys you talked to on the door tell them I'm tutoring you or something and in the toilet." She grabbed a backpack and head out the room. James and Jack smiled at each other while Rya'c looked at the room curious about it.
