Chapter eighteen
The Jaffa were swarming on the lower levels of the mothership. Jack froze again, halfway down yet another narrow flight of stairs, and flattened himself against the wall. The others did the same, and below them a troop of half a dozen Jaffa stomped past. Even after they were out of sight, Jack waited, and, sure enough, heard still more heavy footsteps approaching. He waved the others back, followed them as quietly as he could manage, and stopped at the top of the stairs to meet Valaâs eye.
âI donât think weâre getting out this way, either.â
âAll right,â she said, though he thought her good humor was starting to wear a bit thin. âLetâs see, this would be ââ
âPlan Z,â Jack said. âHow about a way off the ship that doesnât involve going through a small army of Jaffa?â
âWe might be able to use the rings,â Vala said, but she sounded doubtful.
âSo far, the platforms have all been guarded,â Jack said. âWe could probably take them out, but ââ
Carolyn cleared her throat. âWhat about the puddle jumper? The one we came in?â
âYou know where it is?â Jack asked. That was sounding a bit more promising.
âIf she doesnât, I do,â Leymac said.
âI do,â Carolyn said, and glared at the Tokâra.
âCan I fly the jumper out of wherever it is?â Jack squinted, considering the options. Get into the jumper, and he could set the cloak, put up the shields, and theyâd be pretty much invulnerable. He liked that idea quite a bit.
Carolyn considered the question. âYes,â she said at last. âItâs some kind of docking bay, not a regular glider bay, though.â
âIt looked like a maintenance bay,â Leymac said. âThe hanger door was large enough to take the jumper and the two gliders that had it in tow.â
âHowâd you manage to let him catch you?â Jack demanded. âA puddle jumper can outfly anything Ra has in his arsenal.â
âThat may be,â Carolyn retorted. âBut Iâm a doctor, remember? Not a pilot.â
âIf youâd done what Marik told you,â Leymac began, and Carolyn turned on him.
âI repeat. Iâm not a pilot. And why the hell should I do what a kidnapper tells me?â
âBecause itâs better than being captured by Ra,â Leymac snapped.
âOK, kids, thatâs enough,â Jack said, and they subsided, Carolyn flushing to the roots of her hair.
âThis has promise,â Vala said. âLead the way.â
Carolyn threaded her way through the haâtakâs corridors with only a couple of wrong turns. The corridors were mostly clear of Jaffa now, presumably ordered away to deal with Carterâs diversion, but Jack kept his staff weapon ready just in case.
The hanger was nearly deserted, only a couple of technicians bent over a device attached to the puddle jumper. Beyond them, Jack could easily make out the edges of the hanger door â plenty of clearance â and then the panel that controlled it. âAll right,â he said softly. âDr. Lam, Leymac, fan out â take cover behind those consoles there. Once youâre in position, Vala and I will take out the technicians.
