It's great to see how many views i'm getting, we're almost halfway now! I'm writing away, let me know what you think! thank you :)
They all walk up to the briefing room and take a seat. The general is infuriated.
Hammond: Now how the hell did the the Goa'uld find out where SG11 were? The only people that knew about this mission that aren't SG11are Sgt Harriman or in this room as we speak.
Daniel: (shocked) General, you don't seriously think it was one of us?
Hammond: I don't know what to think. Only a handful of people knew about this mission. And I sure as hell doubt that SG11 would have shared the information. This isn't about ambushes anymore, one of my men has been killed.
O'Neill: Sir, it can't have been one of us. We've all been working on the Carter situation.
Teal'c: Not that this information would impact on the situation but I did inform Major Carter on SG2 and SG11's missions.
Hammond: Teal'c, are you implying Major Carter may have something to do with this?
Teal'c: Not at all General Hammond. I was just ensuring you were aware of everybody who knew.
Hammond: Right. Well I have to go check on my injured men in the infirmary, when we get back to this I want answers. Dismissed. (Hammond exits)
Daniel: How did the Goa'uld find them?
O'Neill: I don't know, but we need to find out. (scene ends)
Next scene- Colonel Wade knocks on General Hammond's office door.
Hammond: Come in. (Wade enters) Colonel, what can I help you with?
Wade: Sir I have some thoughts that I want to share with you, and I don't think they would have gone down very well if I said them at the briefing earlier.
Hammond: Sit down. (Wade takes a seat) What thoughts? Do you know who's feeding the Goa'uld information?
Wade: No, I don't know sir. (General sits forward to listen) But, only a handful of people know about every single mission that goes on, and to narrow that down further, only my team, SG1, SG11, Walter and you knew about SG11's mission.
Hammond: Where are you going with this Colonel?
Wade: Everyone I've listed hasn't had a chance to be by themselves yet to be able to actually give that information away. But this morning Teal'c told Major Carter about SG11's mission and the Goa'uld turned up. And the Goa'uld didn't turn up when SG1 were 'due' to go to the planet Major Carter was at. And obviously if it was her she would tell them to call it off. Now I have nothing but respect towards Major Carer, but there seems to be too much evidence there to just blindly dismiss because she's a highly thought of member of our base. And with all due respect, what better person could they have chosen if it is her.
Hammond: (offended) I suggest you stop right there. These are serious accusations you are making towards an Air Force Major. And you're damn right about not saying it in the briefing because Colonel O'Neill sure as hell would be having you say such a thing about a member of his team.
Wade: I know General, this is why I have come to you in private. Out of all the people that know all the facts, she's the only one it makes sense being.
Hammond: (more calm) I understand why the odds are against her. (thinks for a moment) How serious are you making this allegation?
Wade: I have no evidence, but all the facts dictate it. I just don't want us to lose anymore men sir.
Hammond: Well neither do I. (huffs) Right, well thank you for enlightening me on this Colonel. You can go now, I have some thinking to do. (Wade exits and Hammond sits back in his chair in contemplation)
Scene change- Carter is lying next to a bush in a field, she is shivering as it is wet and cold, she's trying to get herself to sleep. After a while a man approaches and shakes her for her attention.
Carter: (wearily) yeah?
Kyran: What are you doing here? (she jumps up in alertness of his voice, she goes to grab the gun Daniel lent her before he left but he grabs her hands) It's okay, I'm here.
Carter: I don't want you to be here.
Kyran: Come home.
Carter: The only home I have is not on this planet. (shoves him off her, she goes to stand up but is too weak and falls back down, Kyran helps her up) Get off me! (she pushes him away)
Kyran: I understand you're upset, just come with me.
Carter: No Kyran! You think I'm your wife because I signed some crappy agreement, but I'm not. I don't belong here and I want to go home.
Kyran: It has been a while since your friends left, they will not return until at least sunrise. You must rest.
Carter: Stop acting like you care when you'd happily slap me round the face.
Kyran: Only when necessary. (She looks shocked and shakes her head in disbelief)
Carter: It's never necessary! Ugh, see this is why I need to go back. (pause) actually you know what, I'm going to go back- now. (she goes to walk off and falls back down, Kyran picks her up, she's sit her head on a log so it's bleeding and she's been knocked out, the scene closes with him putting her into bed)
Next scene- General Hammond calls Teal'c, O'Neill and Daniel to a briefing, the three of them enter.
Hammond: (acknowledges their entrance) Take a seat SG1.
O'Neill: It's a little early for a briefing General I didn't even get to my fruit loops.
Hammond: That can wait. I have something to discuss with you. (General's tone is serious, they all turn serious and pay attention to him) Sit down. (General sits down at the head of the table, O'Neill sits on the Generals right and the other two of the left) There are some suspicions of who the person feeding the Goa'uld information about us may be.
Daniel: Shouldn't SG3 be here too?
Hammond: I wanted to talk to you three about it first. Yesterday, somebody came to me and told me that Major Carter could be the one behind this- (Teal'c sits forward in surprise and O'Neill and Daniel object simultaneously)
O'Neill: What?!
Daniel: What?!
O'Neill: General, with all due respect, sir, are you out of your mind?
Hammond: I had the exact same reaction as you. But then they told me some facts and I have been thinking about it a lot. Major Carter's mission should have been interrupted by the Goa'uld but it wasn't, Teal'c- you then told her about SG11's mission and then they were ambushed. She's the only person that is aware of the situation that could have the opportunity to talk to the Goa'uld. (SG1 are in such can't believe it, Daniel's mouth is open in shock and O'Neill is shaking his head)
Now, I don't like this anymore than you do. But we need to consider this as an option. For all we know she could be under their influence or it could not be her at all. But it's all we have to go on at the moment.
Daniel: General, do you really think it could be Sam?
Hammond: I don't know Dr Jackson, I want to say no, but she is the most logical answer. (there is long pause)
O'Neill: It can't be Carter sir, I'd rather confess to being the person than see her get in trouble for this.
Hammond: We need to prove her innocent then.
Daniel: Surely getting her out of that marriage is our priority at the moment?
Hammond: Yes. You're going to go back and see what you can do about the marriage, tell her that SG3 are going to P3R 961 tomorrow.
O'Neill: Since when?
Hammond: Since now.
Daniel: You're going to test it? See if the Goa'uld turn up?
Hammond: Yes, it will be the only way to show her not guilty. Only us and SG3 will know about the mission.
O'Neill: Who's idea was it?
Hammond: What?
O'Neill: Who's idea was it that Carter is the snitch on the base?
Hammond: Colonel, until you are more rational about the situation I'm not going to disclose that to you.
O'Neill: Sir I'm-
Hammond: Look this is enough. I've told you what is happening. Today you will go back to the planet and check on Major Carter, inform her of SG3's mission and see what you can do about her situation. Is that clear? (three 'yes sir's are said) You leave in three hours. (He nods and heads to his office, SG3 walk together to the cafeteria, and sit down with their food. Daniel is opposite O'Neill, Teal'c is next to Daniel)
Daniel: Can you believe they think it's Sam?
O'Neill: I can't believe that somebody had the nerve to do that to Carter.
Teal'c: Perhaps it is a member of SG3, that may be why they were not invited to attend the briefing.
Daniel: Yeah good point. And for the General to have been slightly convinced then-
O'Neill: (under his breath but loud enough for his team to hear) Wade. That son of a-
Daniel: Why Wade?
O'Neill: He went to speak to Hammond yesterday about something 'private'. And with his position, Hammond can't ignore his accusations because he could take it higher up and he knows it.
Daniel: You saying that Wade threatened Hammond?
O'Neill: He doesn't have to. The General knows it. Look, we will go to the planet, tell Carter about the mission, the Goa'uld won't turn up and then we can prove her innocent.
Daniel: (Sarcastically) So much for innocent until proven guilty. (O'Neill raises his spoon of fruit loops in agreement and the scene ends)
Next scene- Carter wakes up to realise she's back in Kyran's house. Gets out of bed and holds her head in pain. She stumbles into the washroom to splash herself with water. Kyran is there topless, he gives her a dirty grin, she swallows back and turns to run.
