(Chapter-8)

The next day Kinsey was sitting at his desk thinking of ways of bringing down SG-1 and the girls when his assistant Gina Walker walked in. Kinsey looked up, "What do you have?" Gina shook her head, "Nothing, as you know SG-1 has the backing of several alien races. As for Faith Lehane, Buffy Summers-Lehane, and the others their backgrounds are clean." Gina handed Kinsey the papers. Kinsey looked at the papers, "There has got to be..." Kinsey sat back, "What this with Lehane's financial background?"

Gina nodded, "Yes sir, I checked on that. And if you take all of the people named in Forbs and multiply that with the national buget deficit and then add the budget deficit every other country in the world and multiply that by ten you still won't come close to what they have." Kinsey shook his head, "Nobody can be that wealthy, I want a full background check on how they get their money." Gina sighed, "Already did, and I ran the check three time. It's clean."

Kinsey snorted, "Well see about that, I want the FBI to run an investigation on their financial background. There has got to be some shady deals in there somewhere." Gina nodded, "Yes sir." and turned and left. Kinsey sat back, "Lets see how well you run your Academy without any money once the FBI freezes your accounts so they can run their investigation."

Back in Sunnydale the girls were sitting in the dinning hall having fun. Abby spoke up, "Let me tell you the bed we got for our room is huge." Catherine smiled, "I want to make sure there's enough room when we have fun." They all laughed. Shego smiled, "Me and Kimmy made sure we got extra fire extinguishers and we're having a sprinkler system put in just in case we get carried away." Kim blushed, "Like the time back in Middleton, we got so carried away we lit the bed on fire."

Faith was about to talk when Rachael walked in with three men in suits, "Sorry Faith, these men are with the FBI." Faith smiled, "How can I help you gentlemen?" One man reached out with a paper in his hand, "This is a Federal Seizure Warrent, we're here for all financial records." Faith took the paper, "Sure, may I ask why?" The man nodded, "We received an anonomus tip that some of your business dealing are illegal."

Faith raised an eyebrow, "I assure you that all my buisness dealings are legal. Rachael please take these gentlemen over to the financial office and see to it they have full access to all records." Rachael nodded,"Yes ma'am." The first agent spoke up again, "I also must let you know that until this investigation is over all your finanical assests are frozen." Faith sat her coffee down, "Ok, I wanna know who the hell put you up to this, by law I have that right."

The agent shook his head, "As I said it was an anonmus call." Sam sat back, "I think I can help there, I'll call the base and have them run the call. Something like this had to have come into the FBI office in D.C." As Rachael was about to take the agents to the financial office Faith stopped her. Faith took Rachael to the side, "Once they're in the office, I'll need you to go down and crack Vault One, we'll need the emergency assests stored there untill this blows over." Rachael nodded, "Anything else?"

Faith nodded, "Keep an eye on these men, I know all the agents in the Sunnydale and L.A. FBI offices. I haven't seen these guys before." Rachael nodded, "Could they be from D.C.?" Faith nodded, "They could, but keep an eye on 'em anyway." Rachael nodded, "You got it." Rachael turned and left. Faith sat down, "I don't like this at all." Shego took a drink of her orange juice, "Why, what's up?" Faith sat back and rubbed her face, "They may find out the truth on how we became so wealthy."

Shego looked at Sam who was on her cell phone and then at Faith, "How did you become so wealthy?" Faith leaned forward, "Do you remember the meteor shower that accured fifteen years ago?" Kim nodded, "You bet, it was awsome." Shego snorted, "That was when my so called brothers got their abilities."

Faith nodded, "Some of those meteors made it through the atmosphere and impacted in the ground. Four years ago me and Buffy were taking a walk in the mountains when we came across one of those fragments. The energy signature was way off the scale." Faith took a drink of her coffee, "Now what do you know about time travel?" Just as she asked the question Sam spoke up, "I know it's something you don't want to play around with."

Faith nodded, "Because of the grandfather paradox." Kim raised an eyebrow, "The grandfather paradox?" Sam nodded, " The paradox is this: A man travelled back in time and killed his biological grandfather before the latter met the traveler's grandmother. As a result, one of the traveler's parents (and by extension the traveller himself) would never have been conceived. This would imply that he could not have travelled back in time after all, which means the grandfather would still be alive."

Sam took a drink of water, "And the traveller would have been conceived allowing him to travel back in time and kill his grandfather. Thus each possibility seems to imply its own negation, a type of logical paradox." Kim shook her head, "That can give a person a headache just thinking about it." Faith nodded, "Anyway, me and Buffy developed a time travelling device that allowed us to travel back in time."

Shego smiled, "And by doing so you knew where and when to make financial investments." Faith nodded, "That's right." Buffy sat back, "The device we developed is now in a secure vault here on the grounds, and as soon as the Feds leave we'll show it to ya." Abby smiled, "Here's a question, Just who did build the Pyramids." Faith looked at Sam and who nodded. Faith smiled, "Aliens built them." Abby giggled, "I know it, I always said the Pyramids were built by aliens, because they were to perfect."

A moment later Sam's cell phone rang. Sam picked it up, "That'll be General Hammond." Sam answered her phone, "General Hammond." Hammond nodded, "I got that infromation you wanted and you were right, that anonomus call came from Senator Kinsey's office. And the agents there are from D.C. on tempoary assignment. I made a few calls and the investigation has been called off." Sam smiled, "Thank you sir, I'll let Lehane know." Sam ended the call, "Good news, the investigation is called off. And we now know where the call came from."

Janet sat back, "Kinsey." Sam nodded, "It came in from Senator Kinsey's office this morning. The agents are from D.C. on tempoary assignment." Shego leaned foward, "It seems Mr. Kinsey is trying to find a way to bring an end to what Sam does at the SGC. And now he's going after Faith and Buffy." Catherine sat back, "I know who Kinsey is, But what does he have against you?" Sam took a drink of her water, "Kinsey is a power hungry person who'll stop at nothing to get what he wants."

Janet nodded, "He tried several times to gain controle of the Stargate program but failed each time." Shego smiled, "And he failed again." Sam looked at Shego, "Don't think he's gonna back down. He is one presistent man, and will do anything to get what he wants." Just then Warner walked in, "We have a problem, the agents have stopped with the financial investigation." Buffy looked up, "And that's a problem?" Rachael shook her head, "No ma'am, the problem is they want me to open the vault on level four."

Faith jumped up reaching to her lower back and pulling out a Glock, "We can't let them in there, they get in there and the secret is out." Buffy pulled her own glock, "The time device is in that vault, only two people have access to it. And they are me and Faith." Sam spoke up, "Let me try to get rid of them before you go in armed."

A few minutes later Faith, Buffy, Shego, Kim, Sam, Janet, Abby and Catherine entered level four. Faith looked at the Agents, "Can I help you gentlemen?" The lead agent nodded, "You can start by opening this vault door." Buffy smiled, "Do you have a warrent?" The agent sneered, "Lets not get all legal, I want that door opened now." Sam walked up and showed her I.D., "Major Samantha Carter U.S. Air Force." The lead agent nodded, "Special Agent Nate Winters FBI, why is the Air Force here?"

Sam put her I.D. away, "The question is why do you want in that vault?" Winters nodded, "It's part of an on going invetigation." Sam nodded, "And if I understand it right that investigation has been terminated. Which means all previous warrents are expired. Now unless you have another warrent that says other wise, I suggest that you leave the grounds now."

Winters sniffed at Sam, "I'll be back with the proper warrents." Faith smiled, "And we'll be here." Winters looked at the other two agents and nodded and left. Sam sighed, "I have a gut feeling they'll be back before the end of the day." Faith nodded, "Which means we'll need to move the Time Mirror." Shego looked at Faith, "Your time device is a mirror?" Faith nodded, "I'll show ya as soon as we know it's safe to open the vault."

After waiting several minutes for the agents to be off the grounds Faith and Buffy went to the door. Faith looked at the others, "You are about to see the secret to our fortune." A minute later the door was open and there in the middle of the empty vault was the Time Mirror. Buffy walked up to it and activated it, "This is how we gained our fortune." Kim walked you to the controle pannel, "Can you travel into the future with it?"

Faith nodded, "Yep, how do you think we got the equipment for the Command Center and the Field Offices?" Shego looked at Faith, "What about weapons?" Faith shook her head, "No, we never bring back weapons. Those must be developed naturally." Sam nodded, "A weapon from the future could off set the ballance of power in our time frame in favore of one country over the others.' Buffy nodded, "And we don't want a terrorist group to get ahold of it."

Faith sighed, "And now we'll need to move it so those agents won't find it here when they return." Sam smiled, "I just may have a solution to that problem." Janet smiled, "Asgard?" Sam nodded, "They're the only ones I would trust with moving it." Janet smiled, "Lets call the SGC and have Hammond contact them." Sam nodded and made the call. Catherine looked at Janet, "Who are the Asgard?" Janet smiled, "Just some friends that love pissing Kinsey off every chance they get."

Several minutes later Sam walked back into the vault, "I just got done with talking to Hammond, he said he'll make the call to the Asgard. Plus he wanted us to know that O'Neill, Daniel and Teal'c have been recalled to the SGC. They're needed for a mission." Janet looked at Sam, "Do you need to go?" Sam shook her head, "Hammond said it's more important for me to stay here. Also Gibbs and Ducky have been called back to NCIS, don't worry Abby you get to stay." Abby sighed, "Yes."

Faith nodded, "What about the others?" Sam put her phone away, "They'll be staying where they are." Janet smiled, "All we can do now is wait for the Asgard to answer Hammond request for their help." Kim folded her arms, "How long will that take?" Sam shrugged her shoulders, "Depends on where they are." Abby smiled, "I say lets head over to the dinning hall and have some lunch and wait till the Asgard to show up." Sam smiled, "That's all we can do." Faith smiled, "Besides they made southern fried chicken."

A few moments later they left the vault and headed to the Dinning hall. Kim looked at Catherine, "How long will it take for the Feds to get their warrent?" Catherine shook her head, "Depends on the judge and if they can convence him ot her that they have probable cause." Sam smiled, "Untill then lets have some fun and enjoy our lunch." They all agreed.

Back in D.C. Kinsey was on the phone with Winters, "Are you sure they're hiding something in the vault?" Winters nodded, "Yes sir." Kinsey sat back, "Something must be in there for them to get Major Carter to intervene. I'll pull a few strings here and get you that warrant before the day is out. I want to know what the hell they're hiding in that vault." Kinsey hung up his phone, "It better be something I can use to bring down the almighty SG-1, and that Slayer Academy."
