Chapter Ten

A second team of Marines came through the gate and helped secure the prisoner before she was brought through to Earth. Jack made certain the corridors were kept clear of anyone other than security personnel as Kali was taken to the brig. She was allowed to shower and offered a change of clothing before she was escorted to an isolation room with a table set up in the center. Her hands were shackled to the table in front of her. Once she had been confirmed as a non-threat, she was left alone.

SG-9 briefed Jack about what they had found on the planet, and now they were on a well-deserved standby while he figured out how to deal with their new prisoner. When he finally went down to see her with his own eyes, he was surprised to find Morello in the observation room watching the Goa’uld through the one-way glass. He pushed up the sleeves of his jacket and stood just behind her right shoulder for a moment, watching as she watched the former System Lord.

“Captain.”

Her shoulders twitched and tension appeared in her neck, but she kept her eyes on the glass. “General. Sir. I-I didn’t know it was you.”

“Relax. I learned a long time ago with Colonel Carter that I can’t order anyone to stand down no matter what it says on my uniform. And I don’t think anyone would mock you for taking a victory lap with this mission. How long have you been assigned here?”

“Two years, sir.”

“And you already bagged yourself a Goa’uld. Not one of the good ones, of course. Kind of lower-tier. But still not too shabby.”

He could see her fighting the urge to smile. “I’ll aim higher next time, sir.”

“See that you do. No more slacking off.” He uncrossed his arms to pat her on the shoulder. “I know I said it in the briefing, but it bears repeating. Good work, Captain.”

“Thank you, sir.”

Jack left her in the observation room and nodded to the airmen outside the door as he entered the holding cell. Kali sat up straighter when she saw him, lifting her chin and narrowing her eyes as she tracked his movements. Jack stood in front of her and crossed his arms. Her lips were pursed in a moue of unimpressed boredom. She looked as if she’d taken a bite of something foul and was trying to find the strength to swallow or find a napkin to spit it into.

“Hi. I’m Jack O’Neill. You may remember me from such events as the Kicking of Ra’s Ass and The Death of Apophis numbers one through five.”

“Why have you brought me to this place?”

Jack raised his eyebrows. “Accommodations not to your liking? We could try to find somewhere a little gaudier for you… I think Trump’s got a few casinos nearby.”

Kali sighed. “This war has been fought already, O’Neill. You have nothing to gain by imprisoning me here.”

“Oh, that’s where you’re wrong.” He leaned forward and placed his hands on the table. “See, we know all about your little Hail Mary plot.
