Sorry I have been occupied with my drama performance, the last show is tomorrow so i will be able to update more frequently. I wrote this last night and tonight so after tomorrow i will edit this to improve it and i'll be writing and uploading a lot faster and as I'll edit it to be better hopefully a more enjoyable read! But next week expect a lot more from me! Thank you to those who have written reviews it made my day and all of you that are reading it and following it!
Scene change- they're sat in the tavern/pub 'The Fire' (where Sam was when she arrived on the planet). O'Neill, Wade, Carter and Daniel are all seated around a circular table and Wade's other Lieutenant and Teal'c are stood up next to them keeping watch.
Carter: (To Daniel) Honestly, it's not as bad as it looks. (She looks at O'Neill) Sir, unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to investigate into-um, my mission.
O'Neill: (looks at her scars and cringes sympathetically then straightens up, implying her bruises and marks he says) Well it seems you've been up to something.
Carter: Yeah, there's kind of a situation going on.
O'Neill: (sarcastically) You don't say?
Wade: Major Carter, if you don't mind- I see that the Goa'uld haven't come?
Carter: (sudden realisation) Oh yeah. I lost track of time. As far as I'm aware, the Goa'uld haven't been here at all and we were 'due' to come yesterday so they should have.
O'Neill: Maybe they decided to sit this one out. (Daniel and Jack exchange weird confused looks)
Daniel: I don't get it, why would the Goa'uld appear everywhere we've been for over two weeks and then just suddenly stop? It's a little suspicious don't you think?
Carter: (shrugs) Maybe whoever is tipping them off doesn't know we are here? (The pub door slams open making the tables shake, everybody turns around to see the fury in Kyran's face, he scans the room and sees Sam) Oh crap... (The SG teams both look confused/concerned and Kyran storms over)
Kyran: (shocked and furious) One job. You had one job. Get food. What are you doing here?! That's the last time I'm letting you go out un-supervised. (he looks around at confused facial expressions of the SG teams and turns back to Carter and grabs her arm) Come on, we're leaving.
O'Neill: (shoves his hand up and stands up defensively) Stop right there! What do you think you're doing?
Kyran: She's not a prostitute.
O'Neill: (confused) Yeah I know that.
Kyran: Oh so you'd only pray on another man's wife?
Daniel: (Sam looks down and Daniel coughs in shock, Teal'c raises an eyebrow and O'Neill looks even more confused) I'm sorry- wife?
Kyran: Yes, you heard.
O'Neill: Carter, care to explain what the hell is going on?
Kyran: (looks confused then relieved) You have the wrong person. This is Sophie.
Daniel: Sophie? (realises why her name is different) Ah Sophie...
Carter: Kyran, I haven't been totally honest with you. You know how I said-
Kyran: Be quiet. Go home, I will sort this confusion out.
O'Neill: (firmly) Okay, no she's going to stay here and she's also going to explain what the hell is going on. (Carter is looking down ashamed, they are all looking at her)
Daniel: (softly but intrigued) Sam?
Carter: I arrived at the planet and it was dark, I ran all the way here and I was exhausted. I needed a place to stay and to be honest I didn't care where. Kyran offered me his place so I accepted, and he needed me to sign something saying I stayed there, I was tired so I just did it. Next thing I know I was married to him as apparently (she swallows in disgust) that is what I signed up for the night before.
Kyran: You arrived at 'the planet'?
Carter: I told you I was an explorer.
Daniel: You tricked her into marrying you?
Kyran: Sophie didn't object.
Daniel: That's not the point.
O'Neill: Okay, first of all, Carter, its Carter, not Sophie. And second of all, I don't really like the fact you've hitched onto her like this because she doesn't want to be married to you. Oh and she's coming back with us.
Kyran: She is staying here.
Teal'c: Are you the one who is responsible for Major Carter's injuries?
Carter: Teal'c. (they all look at her, O'Neill looks back at Kyran.)
O'Neill: Are you? (Before Kyran can respond Sam interrupts)
Carter: Sir, please. (He nods in recognition at Teal'c)
O'Neill: Carter, go back with Colonel Wade to the gate, we'll meet you there. (she looks reluctant at the order and steps forward to do so but Kyran holds her arm)
Kyran: And who do you think you are, coming here and ordering my wife to accompany you to somebody's gate?
Daniel: Kyran, it's Kyran right? (kyran nods to confirm) how long have you known Sophie?
O'Neill: (snaps) That's not her name Daniel.
Kyran: A few days.
Daniel: (awkwardly smiles) Yes, you see we've been friends with her for 5 years. We know her very well and would much like to take her back with us.
Kyran: She is lawfully mine. (Daniel goes to open his mouth but Jack interrupts annoyed)
O'Neill: Oh for crying out loud! She's not your wife. (turns to Carter) C'mon lets go. (She looks at the tight grip Kyran has on her arm and tries to shake him off. Kyran stands in front of her.)
Kyran: I suggest you leave. (Jack steps forward defensively but Daniel pushes him back and jumps into talking before anyone else can)
Daniel: How about we handle this in a different way? (Jack looks irritated)
O'Neill: And what way would that be Daniel? (Daniel takes Jack a few steps away but they both maintain the view of Sam's situation, they talk quietly)
Daniel: How about we deal with this calmly. We sit down, talk things through and find out how we get Sam out of this mess.
O'Neill: Daniel, we don't have the time to play this game. I want us to just get Carter and get out of here.
Daniel: So do I Jack. Look at Sam, (O'Neill keeps his eyes on Sam) obviously something is going on here, we should get to the bottom of it.
O'Neill: Something has gone on. (looks away from Sam to Daniel) And we need to get her out and that's why we gotta leave now.
Daniel: Jack please, this is a sensitive situation. I know we've all seen each other a little roughed up but Sam's appearance isn't because of a one on one with a Jaffa. We need to 'lawfully' get her out of this mess. (Jack swallows hard and nods. They both walk to join the rest of them again.)
