Part 24 Call it a Win PG
"Colonel O'Neill this discussion is getting us nowhere. We need to go greet the president and his guests. Cassie you may come along if you like." General Hammond said. He smiled at her, he knew the girl was stressed and there was no point in making it worse. He looked over and noted that Makepeace seemed amused. "Colonel I suggest you not look so happy. If you recall you are still under arrest for treason and we have added more charges."
Makepeace smiled. "I think you miss the point General Hammond. I do not care what happens to me. The council has always had power. Rupert is its head and he listens to his Queen. If Buffy Summers will listen then my family, my clan is safe. She will save them even if the president does not give a damn. She has this thing about innocents. It's naive and foolish but, hey I'll take what I can get at this point. If that means I die… well, sir with all due respect I call that a win."
Hammond locked eyes with the marine and knew he meant every word of it.
Whoever these people were they had this man's respect. They also had to be pretty powerful to be able to overrule the president. He had a really uneasy feeling about all this. "Guards keep the Colonel here." The airmen snapped to attention and said. "Yes sir."
"We need to go up now." General Hammond said. SG-1 followed him. They had no intention of letting Cassandra out of their sight. Teal'c moved to her side. He placed a large hand on her left shoulder. He gave it a slight squeeze. Cassandra looked up a little shocked. However, the look on his face insured she knew she had his support. He was at least willing to listen. Cassie smiled up at him. She knew he was wise. Sometimes she forgot he was older and wiser than most everyone on base. She and the others often forgot that Teal'c was even older than the General because he only looked about 35 or so.
"All will be well Cassandra Fraiser."
She nodded and followed the others out. She just hoped Uncle Jack would not smart off too much. Because if what Uncle Rupert was in a bad mood he would kick his ass and that was not even counting what the slayers might do.

Janet was really annoyed. Ba'al was clearly not taking any chances with her getting away. She had tried to get out of the cell but there was no luck so far. Well if regular methods didn't work maybe magic would. She went to the bunk and sat down. Maybe running out blind was not a good idea. She began to meditate. If I can astro project maybe I can see what the hell is going on and find out where I need to go. I mean I am not SG-1 to have been on a mother ship every other week. With that thought in mind Janet began to meditate.

Ethan scanned the area and found the slayer and her group. It had not been easy to tie magic into the Gao'uld scanners. He had to admit that technology was not really his area of expertise. Granted he was not a technophobe like Rupert but, still. Anyway mission completed. Now how can I get to them without getting A- shot, B-Locked up or C-Shot and locked up? I might have to resort to going in the front door but, I really want to be able to leave again. Well, well what is this? Ah, this could be interesting. I suppose I could see if my old partner might want to help. After all he is always up for a prank and I know he has issues with these folks too. I wonder why he is spying on these people right now?

Harry Maybourne cursed as he slipped behind a tree. The things he did for his friends. Not that he would ever admit to thinking of SG-1 as his friends but, damn it all they were as close to it as he had. The news of the doctor's death had hit him hard. He liked the feisty red head a lot. She was a no nonsense kind of lady. Of course she never knew that part of his job had been to keep an eye on her. He sighed it seemed he was always undercover. He pulled out the small cell in his pocket and made a call. "Yes, sir they have arrived. Rupert is with the President sir. Well, it's not like I can just go to the front gate you know. Yes, I know Uncle Charles I messed up. Well, I said I would help and I will. Ok, got to go now. Please just make sure my papers go through or I will not be able to rejoin the council." He hung up and once more wondered why he had ever been so rebellious as to join the American Air Force. Oh yeah now he remember he hated that git Travers. Plus his mother Mary had wanted him to follow in her father's footsteps. His grandfather had been so proud the day he graduated from the Academy. Well at least he could please his other side now. Because his days as an American Air Force Officer were over. Maybe, he could help an old friend though. He hated that Makepeace had got caught up in the NID's games. At least that was one sin he was not responsible for. Harry began to move closer when suddenly he felt odd. "Oh hell" was his last thought as he was snatched from Cheyenne mountain.

Anubis awaited Ba'al's call. Soon he would have updated information on the Tau'ri. He would crush them and reclaim Earth for his own use. With Earth under control he would easily conquer the other worlds in the gate system. It's master gate would let him enter many worlds and even across the galaxy to new undiscovered worlds.
