Chapter 14- Jack
As Carter fell I caught her, the SOB Jaffa. Teal'c was already on him hitting him hard so he fell. From nowhere the woman appeared,
"Do not hurt him any more" she ordered. Teal'c nodded respectfully. She looked at Sam in my arms.
"Please bring her." She told us. We followed her back to camp where the other Nox were waiting. I laid her on the bed and they put their hands together a white eerie light surrounding them. We watched in amazement as they flickered in and out of sight until the Nox left. One came over the same one who had told us he would take us to the Stargate.
"She is coming too" I ordered. They looked at me.
"She did not arrive with you, why do you want her." Lya asked suspiciously.
"She is on our team. She was taken, here" Daniel reached into his pocket pulling out an old photo one of the few we had as a team, we were on base in Teal'c quarters celebrating our first successful mission as an official team. They took it looking at Sam and Daniel grinning with marshmallows around their face; I had called them my kids and was sitting opposite with holding the marshmallows claiming my kids were on too much of a sugar high as it was. Teal'c was sitting on the bed looking confused holding several marshmallow hanging off a stick.
"She is a friend" Lya asked
"Yes she is" I answered hoping to convey how much with my voice.
"She is my friend" Nefrayu complained. I bent down to his level,
"I know buddy but we got to take her home she isn't very well we want to make her happy." He nodded solemnly.
"OK" he told us.
"Teal'c can you carry her" I asked wanting to get home quickly to get Janet to check them all out. These guys seemed trust worthy but we finally had Carter back with Aphosis sniffing around I wanted my team safe on earth.
"I will take you" one of the Nox offered. I nodded. Teal'c lifted Carter up as if she weighed nothing actually looking at her thin body. She had lost weight a lot more than was good for her.
We walked to the Stargate, in silence, too worried about Carter to make polite conversation.
"Look why don't you guys just bury your gate" I asked
"Because then they would know someone had buried it" Lya pointed out,
"But they know you're here" Daniel pointed out, Lya went to answer but was distracted as Sam stirred, Teal'c set her down on the floor.
"Daniel dial up" I ordered focusing on Sam.
