Ransom Rates
“Why that deceitful little bastard,” Vala fumed later that night. “Can you believe the nerve of him? Turning me in for the reward money!”
“If I weren’t linked to you, I’d do it myself,” Daniel said sourly.
“How much is the reward?” Buffy wearily asked. Spending the past five hours in a cell was starting to take its toll on all of them. Barak’s visit a few minutes ago wasn’t helping matters.
“It must be pretty high,” Vala said, sitting down next to Buffy. “I’ve almost always had a price on my head and he’s never done this before. I’m sorry,” she said to everyone.
“It’s not entirely your fault,” Cameron said. “But we are going to have to figure a way out of here.”
“The easiest will be during the night,” Daniel said, running a hand through his hair.
“Midnight is the best,” Buffy said. “That’s another six hours away.”
XXXXXXXX
“Guards! Help!” Cameron cried out, his face pressed between the bars. “I think there’s something wrong with her!”
The two guards that were on duty rushed over to see Buffy’s prone body spasing on the floor. “Step back, all of you,” one of them ordered.
After the rest of SG-1 retreated to the far wall, they unlocked the door. The first one went to Buffy while the other stayed just inside the cell. As the first bent over her, Buffy swiftly tucked her legs up and kicked, causing him to fly across the cell and crash into the other guard. She jumped to her feet and ran over to them before the others had moved a muscle.
“They’re out,” Buffy said, removing the weapons from the fallen guards. “Anyone else know how to use a sword?”
Cameron reached out to take one. “I took some fencing in college.”
“But, as we saw in that cave, you aren’t very good,” Vala said with a scrunch of her nose.
“I’ll manage,” he said smoothly.
“Great,” Buffy muttered, tightening her hold on the other sword. In her normal volume, she said, “Just use it in emergency. So how do we get to where they’re storing our weapons? They kinda took my favorite dagger.”
XXXXXXXX
Cameron studied Buffy out of the corner of his eye as they walked to the infirmary. She had been amazing as they fought their way out back on that planet. For a civilian, she moved like no one he had ever seen, and thanks to her they escaped with minimal cuts and bruises.
“What?” She asked, stopping with the infirmary doors just in sight. Daniel and Vala stopped as well to listen.
“I noticed you went out of your way to only incapacitate those guards instead of killing them. You did that with everyone we met,” he said.
“They weren’t de-Jaffa. They were only doing their jobs,” she said with a shrug.
“And the way you moved… Is there anything you want to tell me?”
“Nope,” she said, looking him straight in the eye.
“You sure?”
“Positive. There’s nothing I want to tell you,” she said lightly, before going into the infirmary.
Cameron watched her disappear. He had the nagging suspicion that she was lying to him.
