Chapter 20 – Lisa
We left Sam both hurrying, knowing we had no choice. I don't know how we avoided the patrol but we got to the gate room. We placed him in closing the lid.
"Now what do we do?" I asked, Janet shrugged
"I guess we wait" we sat by the sarcophagus waiting, until we heard the gate room door open. We both pointed our guns at them Janet firing off some shots. The sarcophagus started opening. As Colonel O'Neill sat up I dragged him down to our side. He grabbed my gun confused.
"Sir just shoot Hathor" Janet yelled, he seemed to respond automatically taking in the situation.
"We need to get out of here" he ordered, "Lisa get the door, Doc cover fire but don't hit our people."
I ran for the door feeling a sharp sting in my left arm but I got the door open as a whirring started, Jack grabbed Janet and they barrelled into me he pressed the door shut as it exploded.
"Everyone OK" Jack asked, Janet nodded while I looked at the source of the pain in my arm. Blood was steadily spreading across my arm.
"I think I was shot" I said, Janet came over
"I need to get her to the infirmary Sir" she said, Jack nodded
"Colonel, we left Sam chained in the men's locker room Hathor has the key. Teal'c is imprisoned on level 17 he is the only one other than you and the women not under her control" I added. He nodded looking upset, as we left him to get to the infirmary.
Chapter 21- Jack
Sam in Gould hands again here where she should be safe I knew I had to get her free but needed Teal'c's help and weapons that could be used on our own men. The lock up with the sedatives was only 2 floors up and there was a staircase nearby. The weapons lock up was unguarded so I grabbed enough for Teal'c and me to sedate half of the base plus enough guns for any woman we saw along the way.
I encountered no resistance along the way until I saw the 2 guards stationed outside Teal'c's cell; I shot them both with the sedatives before freeing Teal'c. We dragged them into his cell putting them into the recovery position, it wasn't ideal but it would have to do. We needed to neutralise Hathor, free the base and save Carter.
"It is good to see you O'Neill."
"You too Teal'c you OK?" I asked looking him over, he didn't seem injured.
"Indeed," he said, I gave him one of the guns and some of the sedatives I'd stashed. I loved army issue cargo pants they could fit loads in.
"Hathor has her base in the men's locker room and she has Carter there too, these are sedatives so shoot any of our people. We need to get this base under our control again" I ordered. He nodded as we swiftly made our way to the locker room, nearing we slowed. To hear Hathor fuming, she was yelling at someone how they'd ruined everything, then a sickening sound of someone grunting, as if they'd been kicked. I signalled for Teal'c to take the left while I went down the right.
I entered with Teal'c moments behind; I shot our men guarding her before taking aim at Hathor, she slammed me against the wall with her hand device before the tub she was in set fire. I fought the pain to get up and drag the men out of there, Teal'c grabbed Daniel who seemed to be in shock. I checked the room the smoke making it hard to see. In the corner there was a figure unmoving, it was Carter chained to the shower. I could tell she was in a bad way, I tried to free her but she was chained, like a dog. She wasn't conscious so I shot the lock, it broke and I carried her out.
"Teal'c go after Hathor, I gotta get Carter to the infirmary she is hurt bad." He nodded, I handed him my handgun I knew he would fulfil the mission.
Arriving at the infirmary Doc was with the new Shrink,
"Doc I need you here" I said, Janet said something to Lisa who held some gauze to the wound before coming over.
"Oh God Sam we shouldn't have left her, Sir I'm going to need your help my staff is either locked up somewhere or under her control." She said I nodded as she began to assess Sam. "OK Sir bring me that trolley, we need to get her stabilised." Lisa walked over and began to help too, I took a look before taping the gauze down. She had been lucky it had just winged her. We had stabilised Sam when a few confused looking members of the medical staff began appearing, Janet gave them no time before giving them orders to help Sam and Lisa. I stepped back to go to the control room. Hathor's spell must have ended hopefully that meant she was dead. I knew I was no help in the infirmary so left to find Teal'c or Daniel.
My first stop was the gate room, there in the middle was the blown up sarcophagus, Hathors dead body was next to it. Teal'c stood guard but a neck shot indicated the Gould was dead.
"Good shot" I said by way of greeting. Teal'c nodded, even using the Tau'ri handgun he was a good shot.
"Colonel O'Neill" I recognised the voice before I saw General Hammond. Wincing I
turned to face him.
"Sir" I greeted.
"What in God's name went on here?" he bellowed. I winced not even knowing where to begin.
"We successfully prevented a Gou'ld invasion" Teal'c offered, it only confused him more.
"Sir Hathor manage to drug most the base, only Frasier, Carter, Teal'c and the pysch chick were immune" I offered. Hammond still looked really confused. I knew most people were and we had to keep control.
I walked to the control room using the intercom to order all personal to the gate room except those in the infirmary. We'd have to debrief them later.
Next I ordered Teal'c and a few Marines who'd arrived to take Hathor to the Morgue. The last thing the personal needed to see was her dead body.
It took only 20minutes to explain and debrief everyone. Teal'c helped a lot. I think some of the personal were shocked they had never heard him speak let alone so much.
Afterwards I knew I wanted to check on Carter, Daniel, Teal'c and Hammond followed. Daniel seemed pretty traumatised. Once I knew Carter was OK I planned to take him for a beer. Just the one mind due, any more and we'd be back in for alcohol poisoning.
Arriving at the infirmary Doc was finishing bandaging Lisa up. Carter lay asleep on the bed next door.
"Doctor" Hammond greeted. I instantly went to Carters side, she looked like crap.
"Sir"
"How are our casualties?" Hammond asked as I surveyed the infirmary pleased to see there was only 2 patients. For a Gou'ld incursion it could have been significantly worse.
"Lucy will be fine. The bullet grazed her I have cleaned it and steri-stripped it closed. Captain Carter has a concussion, she was badly beaten, nothing is broken. Mentally, being held prisoner by a Gould again just when we got her thinking she was safe might have set her back permanently." Frasier warned.
"I will start work with her again once she is awake" Lisa offered. Hammond nodded accepting the offer. I just hope the Doc was as good as her resume.
"Sleep first, I've given Captain Carter a sedative she won't be waking for a while" Janet ordered. Everyone nodded. Splitting up. Danny went to leave but I grabbed him
"Not so fast space monkey, your coming with me" I ordered. Daniel didn't even get time to protest before I dragged him off base. I knew I was going to have a nightmare, so he definitely was.
