Back to the 'Gate
Gryff pulled her last spare clip from her vest, ignoring the blood trickling from her broken nose, and slid it into her P-90.
“I need you to get to the ‘gate, Levi,” she said. “And get ready to dial out the second I get back with Jason and Toby.”
“Gryff-”
She rested a hand on his arm, squeezing lightly. “The ‘gate, Lee,” Gryff repeated. “If- when- we come back, we’ll be coming in hot, and I need to know that you’ll be holding the ‘gate.”
Levi tightened his grip on his handgun, until his knuckles turned white, and swallowed hard. “Yes, sir.”
Gryff smiled, and let him go. She waited for Levi to move from their cover first, making his way back through the trees toward the ‘gate, then headed in the opposite direction.
She took out the first Jaffa guard before he even knew he was there, but it alerted the rest that she was there, and she ducked a staff weapon blast that sent up a spray of dirt from the ridge where she’d last seen the other half of her team. The second blast was closer, searing heat along her left shoulder, and she went sprawling to the ground.
Then, suddenly, a hand hit her thigh, pulling the pistol from her holster, and the two remaining Jaffa went down.
“Nice shot, Toby,” said Gryff, accepting his hand to get back to her feet. “You okay, Jase?”
The Marine nodded, pale but steady on her feet, and she handed him her P-90 before scooping up one of the fallen staff weapons.
“Levi’s waiting,” she said. “Let’s go home."
