Cassie stared at her plate waiting for Jack and Teal'c to finish their dinner so she could escape to the guestroom or watch TV. It's not that she did not like their company, no she enjoyed being around them well enough its just as of late she was getting tired of everyone treating her like some kid.

Sure she not quite sixteen years old but back on her home planet of Hanka she might have been married by now with a family of her own. Of course its not that she wanted to go back to Hanka as one the world was completely lifeless and two she rather enjoyed her life among the Tau'ri.

Cassie sighed, despite the fact that Jack and Teal'c were good company most of the time she had not wanted to go into the middle of nowhere Minnesota and stay at Jacks cabin for the week while her mother and Sam were pre-occupied with some top secret national security thingy. Not that she was certain whatever her mother and Sam were doing was top secret

"Yoo-hoo… earth to Cassie…"

"Huh?" Cassie replied having tuned out the odd ramblings between Jack and Teal'c.

Sighing Jack replied, "I asked if you wanted to do the dishes or go outside and gather up some wood for later."

"We're going to have a fire?" Cassie asked.

"It gets a little chilly in late august in Minnesota." Jack stated.

Tapping her chin as if she were in deep thought Cassie pondered out loud, "If I'm doing the dishes… Then who is gathering up the fire wood?"

Jack rolled his eyes at the teen and was about to make a witty reply when he noticed that Teal'c was now giving him the Jaffa's Eyebrow. Shrugging his shoulders in resignation Jack said, "Well… I figured that while one of you was doing the dishes and the other gathering the fire wood, that I'd be in the other room starting a fire."

Noticing that Teal'c was not relenting in his gaze Jack shrugged and sighed, "Fine… I'll start the fire and then dry the dishes… Satisfied?"

Teal'c glanced over at Cassie, seeing her satisfied nod he turned back to Jack and with a smug grin he answered, "Indeed."

Dissatisfied with losing Jack glanced around to everyone's plates and smirked, Turning his attention to Cassie he said, "Well, if you 're finished with dinner you could gather up the wood now…" Glancing out the window he added, "Better hurry up looks like it is going to storm. You don't want to get wet now do ya?"

Holding back a faint growl of resignation Cassie go up from the table and not very gently put her plate down next to the sink, turned and left the room in a huff.

Jack leaned back, a satisfied smirk on his face and looked over at Teal'c. Noticing the Jaffa's frown he employed his most innocent face and asked, "What?"

Cassie slid the back door shut with a growl of annoyance. She knew that Jack was just being Jack but it still grated on her nerves when she was treated like a child. After taking in a few deep breaths to calm herself down Cassie noticed how chilly it was outside and shivered involuntarily. She considered going back in to get her jacket but then ruled that out as a matter of stubborn pride. So with her arms wrapped around her torso in an effort to keep herself from feeling the effects of the chilly evening air Cassie started to make her way over to the wood pile.

As she walked over to the woodpile Cassie could not help but to look around, Jacks cabin's back yard was mostly well groomed and free of clutter, sure there was the odd tree and bush here and there and there was a small pier going 15 feet into the lake some fifty feet away from the cabin. But in the early dusk hours a there was a slight fog coming off of lake making the whole area seem creepy enough that a simple flash of lightning caused Cassie to jump in surprise. As the rolling sound of thunder passed by Cassie had managed to calm her nerves and resume her short trek to the woodpile.

Walking along the tree line Cassie began to get a bit paranoid feeling as if there was someone or thing watching her every move. She shook her head at that. After all she had came from a agricultural society with little to no technology where walks in the woods were a common everyday occurrence and no little walk from a cabin to a wood pile should not be capable of getting her nerves in a bunch.

Arriving at the woodpile Cassie began to gather an overly large bundle in her arms, having not realized that Jack had a basket sitting next to the fireplace for gathering wood. Just as she decided that she could not possibly carry anymore wood the feeling of being watched returned to her tenfold. Once again Cassie attempted to shake the feeling off, she knew that there were a fair amount of wild animals up at and around Jacks cabin so it was probably some squirrel or something gathering food to store for the winter and thus no threat to her. Still though the tiny hairs on the back of her neck were standing strait up signifying some hidden threat.

Closing her eyes for a second Cassie turned her body towards the tree line and counted to ten, upon reaching ten she opened her eyes and sighed in relief. There was nothing there, no animals, no ax-wielding maniac, nothing. Chastising herself for her own paranoia she went to turn away and make her way back to the cabin another streak of lightning flashed across the sky, this time the ominous roar of thunder followed it almost immediately. Not wanting to get caught up in the rain Cassie went to take a step forward only to pause as she heard the sound of a twig breaking and some sort of metallic rattling coming from behind her. Spinning around rapidly her foot became caught on a stray log, forcing her off balance. With a shriek that was masked by another roar of thunder Cassie fell to the ground.

Jack smiled warmly as the fire began to spread to life, engulfing the kindling and thought, "Ahh… Nothing like a nice relaxing fire after a long day of fishing… Now if only Hockey season had started up so I'd have something to listen to." Looking over to the door where one of his bags was still laying untouched from last night's late arrival Jack amended, "Though I could always catch up on the Simpson's… Got over a half of a season to watch."

Standing up Jack stretched out his lanky frame and resigned himself to go help Teal'c with the dishes.

Teal'c nearly hummed to himself as he started to wash the dishes, it was only the old Jaffa adage that, 'Jaffa do not humm' that saved him from possible embarrassment. Having donned an old flowery apron with frilly lace on it Teal'c checked the dishwater to make sure that the temperature was at the nominal range for dishwashing. Nodding to himself he often wondered why the Tau'ri seemed reluctant and outright unwilling to do some of the more menial tasks that appeared on a day-to-day basis.

Heck back on Chu'lac, Teal'c would have slain many of his false gods sworn enemies just for a chance to do dishes as he found the task to be soothing and relaxing after the events of a long day.

Hearing the shuffling of feat that signified the return of his Tau'ri friend O'Neill, Teal' paused in his scrubbing and looked over at the kitchen doorway half expecting a wisecrack for the attire he had willingly donned. After all it was always fun to get a rise out of your friends when they half expected you to be ignorant of their customs.

Jack paused in the doorway to find Teal'c wearing one of his ex-wife Sara's aprons and blinked.

Teal'c responded by raising his Eyebrow in the ever-threatening manner.

Inwardly Jack shrugged figuring that sometimes it was just best not to ask, and continued his trek to the counter where he picked up a clean dishrag to dry the dishes.

Picking up a newly washed mug Jack began to dry it off and put it away in an attempt to take his mind off of Teal'c choice in dishwashing attire. Unfortunately Jack was a smart ass at heart and could not leg go of the ridiculous sight of the large man in the frilly apron. Calmly picking up a plate Jack gave his companion a slight smirk and shot out, "Nice apron… Most people wouldn't be able to make that work but somehow it just suits you… "

"O'Neill. Is it not wise to wear protective covering to prevent the possible staining of clothes?"

Even though Jack already knew that little tidbit of information he had not really thought of it like that. However with the plain as day way that Teal'c had chosen to respond to him somehow implanted the vision of watching Teal'c charge into battle against a large group of Jaffa wearing a frilly pink apron that had, 'Kiss the Cook' written across the front. Despite the absurd mental imagery Jack managed a very guarded, "I suppose…" After all sometimes it was best not to give Teal'c idea's.

"I noticed that there was a spare in the closet if you so desire to protect your own clothes."

Jack shuddered to himself, the other apron was even worse looking than the one Teal'c was sporting. The only reason he had not tossed either of them away was that there might come a time when he needed to make some spare rags or something. So in a valiant attempt to change the topic of conversation Jack mused, "Wonder what's taking Cassie so long?"

"Perhaps she is merely attempting to stave off the task given to her in the hopes that you will have forgotten asking her in the first place." Teal's answered calmly.

"Naw… I heard her go outside… And T it's called procrastinating." Jack drawled out lazily as he made his way over the window next to the stove so he could check the woodpile. "

"Sides… I saw Cassie go outside… And from looking at the skies, she'd better hurry otherwise she's gonna get soaked…" Jack added after a moment of silence as he approached the window.

Jack stopped at the window and peered outside, he knew from his vantage point that he would not have a totally clear view of the woodpile but regardless he should be able to see if Cassie was out there or not. Looking out the window he couldn't see the young teen at first and was about to return to the sink to grab another plate as the one he was drying was about as dry as it was going to get. Just as he was about to turn away though he caught a glimpse of the back end off Cassie's head sticking out from behind the woodpile, partially obscured from view.

Not seeing any sign of movement on Cassie's behalf Jack swore, "Fuck…" Knowing the tendency that his cabin has to attract wild animals every now and then Jack tossed the plate on the counter and made a dash out of the room while alerting Teal'c with, "T… I'm gonna go check on Cassie… If I'm not back in a few minutes, you know where my side arm is…"

Noticing the larger man nod Jack hurried out of the room and headed towards the fireplace. Once there he lifted his old double barrel shotgun from its perch and began to fumble with the keys to his safe for the ammunition.

Once he opened the safe he reached in without sparing the insides a glance, having long ago memorized its contents. Jack shoved the shotgun under his arm and retracted his hand he stuffing the majority of shells into his pocket while he loaded the weapon with his other hand.

Stepping over to the sliding door that lead into the back yard Jack paused briefly to get control of himself, knowing that what ever was happening he had to be careful for Cassie's sake.

Just as he stepped outside the sky's light up with another flash of lightning, immediately accompanied by the roar of thunder. Cautiously he stalked forward his eyes homed into the spot where he knew Cassie was laying. Unable to see her partially due to the fading light and the slight mist coming from the pond Jack cursed himself for placing the woodpile that far away from the Cabin. Silently he began to angle his approach in an attempt to clear his field of vision of all the obstructions that were in the way.

At twenty feet he could see the top of her head but was unable to see any other details, not hearing any of the sounds that Jack would have associated with an animal attack gave him enough pause to focus on his hearing. Unfortunately the only thing he could hear was a faint rustling.

At fifteen feet Jack could still not see the rest of Cassie's body but could hear the faint rustling sounds coming from behind the woodpile. For a moment he was torn, should he continue to creep forward unseen by whatever was behind the woodpile or should he step into the open and get a good read on the situation.

Deciding that getting a handle on the situation was more important Jack took another few steps to the side and nearly dropped his shotgun in the process.

Cassie groaned to herself, having tripped over a stray log and fallen on her back. Swearing to herself she started to brush off the logs that she had been carrying that were now strewn across her torso and to her sides, off of herself.

Hearing the metallic rustling sound again, almost sounding as if what ever thing that was making the noise was right on top of her, Cassie closed her eye's half afraid of what she was going to see. Idly she thought about how dirty she must look with the softened tree bark all over her shirt not to mention the slightly damp ground to her back. The thought of looking like such a mess when Jack and Teal'c found her body caused a nervous giggle to escape her lips.

Shaking her head to clear away the morbid thoughts Cassie started to lift her head, after all if she could survive having a bomb in her chest then surely what ever it was that was out there could not be that bad.

Her body now half propped up by her elbows Cassie opened her eyes half expecting anything from a wild ferocious animal to a circus elephant, though she was pretty sure that a circus elephant would have made a heck of a lot more noise. Needless to say Cassie was pretty much expecting Damm near anything, anything that is except bright blue eyes that blinked owlishly upon eye contact.

Cassie froze wide-eyed as she went into near shock as the supposed wild animal stalked forward and crept over her body on all fours.

Snapping out of it Cassie realized that this was no wild animal as she could tell that despite all the mud and grass there was a young girl around her age there, especially considering that this new girl was only wearing a very ratty and worn tank top that left her generous cleavage on display, bouncy freely, almost right in front of Cassie's face. Tearing her gaze away from the other girls endowments Cassie noted a few other things, it turns out that the metal scraping noise she had been hearing was coming from this girls ankles and possibly her neck as the girl had heavy looking shackles around her ankles and a thick collar that also had a length of chain dangling from it.

Not knowing what to think Cassie tried to avoid thinking about how this girl had gotten into such a state. Shifting her gaze back to the girl's face she realized that this girl had red hair. At first glance, with all the mud and dirt caked on Cassie hadn't been sure, but now that she got a good look at the other girl's face she could definitely see it.

Totally out of her league in her current situation Cassie tried the first thing she could think of and nervously muttered, "Uhnn…. Hi."

The girls mouth moved and an inhuman pitiful whine came out. At first Cassie had thought that the girl meowed at her but quickly shook her head at that, as her imagination must have gotten carried away. She was about to ask the girl something, anything to get her talking but noticed the redhead seemly sway on her hands and feet before they totally gave out on her causing the girl to collapse on top of her, forcing them both back flat onto the ground.

"Well… This is Awkward…" Cassie stated wryly as she realized that perhaps she should have worn a bit more of a concealing shirt as she now found herself with a unconscious redheads mouth wide open and literally drewling down her chest.

Taking in a deep breath Cassie attempted to move the girl on top of her into a less embarrassing position only to realize that the girl was dead weight and that she was not strong enough to mover her off of herself. To make matters worse in jostling the redhead she did manage to mover her, albeit slightly. So now instead of the girl 's mouth resting on just one of her breasts her entire face had become nestled in between them, causing Cassie's face to turn beet red in embarrassment.

"Cassie?"
