Part 16 The Elite play by different Rules

"No it's not Aunt Sam. Uncle Rupert is British not American and as for having permission to look. I am sure he asked for information through the proper channels only he was being blocked by someone. We think it was Kinsey. I know he was willing to wait. Well at least until mom was killed. He would want to know what he would be facing to get me. I am betting he had Willow and Oz hack in. Maybe Jonathan and Andrew helped if needed but Willow and Oz they could do it easily enough. They are all Elites."

Sam stared at her niece. "What do you mean it would be easy for them? I wrote the code for most of the software and designed the computer system. It's the most advanced on the planet in human hands, even an Elite wouldn't be able to get in or they shouldn't be able too." Her look said she was beginning to think that maybe these people Cassie seemed to trust weren't human. "She typed fast realizing someone was testing her firewalls again.

Cassie laughed nervously. "Aunt Sam I love you dearly the thing is you are only a programmer not a hacker. I know you think the security is good and maybe it would be against an average hacker. Willow is not average she is a genius who can read almost any code written. She can also read most of the languages Uncle Daniel can and I know you used that in the programs for an extra layer of protection. I remember hearing you tell mom that when she was worried about Nerti finding information when she was loose on the base. She is the best hacker in the world who also reads physics for fun, so she will be able to understand some of the science behind the gate. She will tell the Scooby gang about it and they will want to deal with any threats to me. If she has to she has contacts to get more information too. Willow and Oz are Elites and she was recruited by over twenty software and computer firms before she was sixteen some of whom have contracts with the SGC and still want her on board. A call or two to the right people and she would be hired and have access. No one would be stupid enough not to want her on their team."

"Who is she that so many want her to work with them?" Daniel asked. "I mean if she's a hacker why hasn't the FBI stopped her? They have to have a cyber unit."

Cassie grinned at Daniel's assumption she decided to explain more. "Oz well he is good too, his programs are used by the FBI, NSA, CIA and the Marshal Service. He even helped design some of the programs used on the international space station. He and Willow hack the FBI to test their firewalls."

"There is no way they could have clearance." Sam said however she frowned obviously worried. "I mean it takes months for that and if she had it she would not need to hack. Then she would be bound by the agreements everyone has to sign. Cassie she and this Oz are American right? Even if he wrote the code he would not be able to share it. It would be a violation of the law."

Cassie shook her head and that and said. "Willow, she designed the security protocol for M-I5 and M-6 when the queen asked Uncle Rupert for help. If she hacked it then it's safe to say they have all the files on the gate. I am sure she wants to make sure they have all the information they need on case they have to fight to gain custody of me. Buffy would want to know all about the potential threats to me and Uncle Rupert. She is very protective of him. They wouldn't need clearance Aunt Sam, they already have it. It was at least equal to Mom's. They would not have to sign anything and Uncle Rupert is a diplomat with diplomatic immunity. I am betting he got it for them as well. The organization he now heads has contacts around the world. He could probably call the Russian President to ask them for their files on the gate if he wanted too. Aunt Sam, you forget I am not an American citizen remember, I am Canadian and a protected member of the Common Wealth. Mom had dual citizenship for the US and Britain."

Daniel looked at Cassie clearly as stunned as Sam "Janet had what and since when? And what organization has that kind of pull? I mean I have never heard of anyone having that much power. We have to practically beg the IOA for help."

Cassie smiled sadly and said "The SWC do and always have had, and Uncle Rupert and Buffy are now the top two people in it. The others sit on the board of directors. They renamed it recently when the old organization was destroyed by terrorists. They used to be called the Watcher Council."

Daniel slammed on the breaks. The tires squealed. "You have to be kidding me?"

"Daniel what the hell did you do that for?" Sam asked the seat belt dug into her shoulder.

"Sorry Sam it's only, well that group has a heck of a lot of pull. They came to a dig I was doing back in 1989 as a student and took everything we found. The leader of the expedition Dr. Amadeus did not even object. He just handed over six months worth of work to this guy Quinton Travers. The dig was closed the next day and reburied. The temple we found was reburied and covered in concrete. The whole dig was never even reported on in the journals. Which was surprising and shocking when you consider we found some rather unusual artifacts and writing? It was one of the reasons I switched back to Egyptology because Egypt is far friendlier to archaeologists. I thought years later they were covering something up."

"Like Goa'uld Daniel?" Sam said looking at him sharply now.
Daniel shook his head and collected his thoughts.

"Err,no the language was different and it referred to demons not gods at temple. Something about the night hunters raising the mouth of hell and their leader a creature called Kakistos and the chosen one or two who fights them in the eternal battle. It said the light and dark slayers shall win at the cost of an innocent and that the dark one will fall. It never made sense really but all our materials and notes were taken as well as the artifacts."

"Damn Travers he knew, he let it all happen. Faith is going to be devastated. Uncle Daniel you cannot tell anyone about that dig. It not good what you know, please forget you know it until I can talk to Uncle Rupert."

"Cassie it was just a legend. It was an early legend about vampires and they do not exist." Daniel said.

Sam's phone rang. "We are coming sir. Daniel saw a squirrel or something. We will catch up. Yes, sir we're on our way. You don't have to come back." Sam looked at Daniel who started back up blushing at the fact he had almost run them off the road.

"Cassie, I'm not sure what's going on. But we are not letting you go to some strangers." Daniel said "They are clearly willing to break the law and have some powerful and slightly dangerous connections. We all love you and want you safe. "

"Then you have to let me go. It is best Uncle Daniel. I need them and they need me too." Cassie said. "I will not be a freak there." She played a card that even Sam could not argue about.

Sam looked at her and pulled into her arms and a hug. "You are not a freak, Cassie you are our family just like Janet and we promised her we would look out for you. No one will take you from us, connected or not. Not even the president can order us not to keep you safe."

Cassie began to cry knowing that both her families loved her. She knew deep down that it would be a miracle if they did not shoot each other first.

"Yeah, well it should be interesting then." She said with a sniffle. "Because mom said the President would follow her wishes. He ordered the FBI to leave them alone and to thank them for hacking and checking their security."

Neither Daniel nor Sam had a reply for that. This was going to b e complicated. Daniel thought. Jack is so not going to like this.

Going off world to the Tok'ra was looking better and better all the time. Her dad would know a safe place to hide Cassie if needed. She would have to contact him and get a ship. Going through the gate was not an option.
