[i]Really,[/i] Sam replied internally. She immediately distrusted this outburst; it seemed like the bravado of a plant. But, then, she [i]had[/i] been in the company of liars for too long. She wanted to see Carter's reaction.

Threatening your captors was a bold move indeed. Sam didn't know if she believed all this talk of special abilities, but she knew this woman believed it. Unless she was an extremely talented actress, she would throw herself against any wall they erected to save the rest of the group.

[i]How heroic,[/i] she mused. Even in her own mind, her tone was sardonic, pessimistic. In her mind there were only three possibilities: That this woman would be chosen as an example to the rest of the captors, that she was working for them and intended to crush their morale, or that she would make good on her promise and free them. After that, she wondered, what would her price be? Again, she decided it was better to wait. For now, others had the floor. If all eyes were on them, which eyes were left to see Sam?
