AUTHOR NOTE; Phew! Well this is the last installment of this story. To be honest I never thought it would be finished but here it is, enjoy! Thanks to those of you who took the time to review, it means a lot and I will take your advice onboard.

DISCLAIMER; Don't own, just playing.

What felt like hours later, the door opened to admit Kyle and a barely standing Daniel.

Jack once again waited till Kyle had closed the door before rushing over to help a swaying Daniel over to the wall to sit down before he fell down.

"Danny talk to me, what did they do?"

"El...electrical shocks" Daniel stammered.

"God, Danny I'm sorry for getting you into this mess," Jack replied feeling utterly helpless.

"Y...You didn't get me into this, the NID got me into this because th...their bad people, it's as simple as that Jack. Promise me, you won't blame yourself for any of this," Daniel asked Jack knowing the older man would never be able to keep that promise.

"Daniel don't make me promise something I can't. I threatened the NID, that's why we're here."

"They started this whole thing by blackmailing General Hammond, so promise me."

"I can't."

Just then Kyle came waltzing back in with a pair of handcuffs and a gun.

"I wouldn't try anything if I was you, or pretty boy here will never walk again," he said pointing the gun in the direction of Daniel's knee-cap again.

Jack gave him a look, but had to admit there was no other option so he held out his left arm and motioned Daniel to hold out his own arm; Kyle tied them together and left.

"Why are they keeping us are tied together?" Daniel asked thankfully after dropping the blame subject.

"So it's harder for us to escape if the opportunity arises, here let me look at that arm."

Daniel didn't resist as jack examined his injured arm.

"Thankfully you were right he said after a minute it's only a flesh wound." 'This time' he thought to himself.

There was silence between them until Larry decided it was time to pay them another visit. This time he brought a trolley full of syringes and bottles of liquids.

"Now Jack I've given you a while to think about how much your friends life means to you, so please let's get on with this and tell me where the disk is."

"I don't know," Jack replied not liking were he knew this was going.

"Come now Jack I'm not stupid, your second in command of the most secret project ever undertaken by our government and you expect me to believe you don't know where they keep that disk, I'm sorry about this Dr. Jackson but it looks like Colonel O'Neill here doesn't value your life," he says turning his back on them to survey the syringes," So many wonderful mixtures to choose from I don't know where to start."

"Jack you have to do it now," Daniel whispered knowing what his friend was thinking, "while his back is turned."

"I'm not risking you getting hurt Daniel, we're tied together one wrong move and it's you that gets shot," Jack tells his friend.

"We're not going to get another chance," Daniel whispered.

"I know," Jack sighed his mind made up he said in a shout," NOW!"

Jack lounges for their captor and struggles for the gun pulling Daniel with him, their captor struggles and Jack hears a bang before something heavy pulls him to the ground by the wrist.

Jack looks at what it was that had pulled him down, then realization struck, 'oh god Daniel'

"Daniel, oh god, Daniel stay with me," Jack said as he applied pressure to the bullet hole in Daniel's left shoulder.

"N...not g...going anywhere Jack," Daniel hissed out through clenched teeth.

"Well Jack I think you just did my job for me, tell me where the disk is or your friend will bleed out, your choice."

"You'll never leave us go, "Jack said while he took off the shirt he had over his T-shirt and ripped the sleeve of the arm attached to the cuffs so he could press it to the wound to try and stop the bleeding.

"That's entirely up to you, so just yell when you've made up your mind," Larry said as he pushed the trolley out the door and closed it.

"Jack don't tell him." Daniel pleaded.

"Why not Daniel, I personally think the man who figured out the stargate is more valuable than a piece of plastic with information on it."

"Because if you tell them you know they'll kill us, you just don't want to believe that we're not going to get out of this."

"Yes we are Daniel, after all we're SG-1 and we always get out of tight situations at the 11th hour" Just as he finished saying this they heard an explosion close by.

"You still sure we're not getting out" Jack asked with a smirk.

'Are you ta...lking to m...me, I never doubted we'd get out,' Daniel gasped out, though the pain of his shoulder was so bad he can barely talk.

"Sure you didn't," Jack replied trying to conceal his concern for his friend while he tried to stem the bleeding, "God Daniel I'm sorry I got you into this."

"I thought we'd talked about the blame thing."

"Yeah well...," But Jack never got to finish his reply as the door burst open to reveal Ferretti and his team.

"Colonel, thank god we found you, you guys alright," Ferretti asked.

"Daniel was shot and he's losing a lot of blood."

"Don't worry Jack we've got Frasier with us, we'll get her down here, we were just waiting until we had the place secure."

"Thanks," he said while turning back to Daniel," you hear that Frasier's here and she's going to fix you right up."

"Yeah, thanks Jack"

"For what Daniel, I didn't do anything"

"For not telling them anything"

"Don't mention it Daniel"

Later at the SGC:

"Thank you General," Jack said closing the door of General Hammonds office, he had just had a long meeting with him where he had told him all that he could remember from the time he and Daniel where held. He could not tell them anything beyond what had happened in their cell, the rest would be up to Daniel. He had found out though that the son of a bitch who had held them was one Jeremy Hedges, nothing more than a hired man, which they could not trace back to Kinsey or anyone at the NID, which boiled Jacks blood. But both Jeremy and Kyle would go away for a long time and that was something. Jack was now headed to see his Archaeologist who according to Doctor Frasier should be waking up any time now with nothing more than a scar to prove his ordeal had ever happened.

Jack would sit at his bedside until he did and then he would annoy Frasier until she allowed him to take Daniel on a real holiday.

It's the last chapter why not review?!
