"Daniel, we need to go!" Vala's voice cut through the crowd as she and Jack raced away from the small hut. "Something went wrong. He was dead."

Daniel looked at her and turned toward Sam, her brow creased with worry lines. She shook her head as he took a step toward her. "That's not what the intel says."

"The intel is wrong, Carter, we need to move out." Jack breathlessly joined them under the hot sun. Glancing back toward the hut he pushed the two scientists toward the open road. "We need to move out now."

Cameron and Teal'c joined them as they walked quickly back toward the road that went past the Stargate. The five of them ducked through a side street, hoping to outsmart the Ori who were pursuing.

"Not fast enough," Vala said, as she pushed into Sam. Daniel glanced backwards and took Sam's hand, propelling her faster down the road.

"Any plans?" Cam asked, as they now broke free from the village and were in the open. His head bounced around looking at Teal'c and Jack. He pulled out his weapon, a modified P-90, and turned around to shoot at anyone who was following.

"Cam! You are not staying!" Vala screamed as she grabbed one of his arms.

Daniel reached into his pocket, past the local garb, and pulled out a small pinpad, their new home's version of the DHD. His fingers flew over the pad, hoping they were going to reach the gate before the pursuing Ori got them.

"Daniel!"

He glanced over to Sam as she gave him a startled look. He gave her a quick once over and saw the blooming red patch on her right shoulder. Jack ran past them, Teal'c tugged at his tunic, Vala crashed into Daniel as she ran sideways. Daniel's fingers lost their hold on Sam as Vala's weight pushed him forward, into the ground. With the wind knocked out of him, he wasn't as quick to get up and go back to get Sam.

With Vala seeming to slowly crawl off of him, with Cam's help, Daniel's eyes locked onto Sam, who was now reaching out to him.

Their fingertips brushed and the moment became painfully clear and sharp.

His ears burned as Sam yelled.

His body was being pulled away from her, as she was being surrounded by the Ori.

Sam's face became calm, even as the Ori crowded around her. Daniel strained his voice calling as he was dragged through the wormhole, watching her lips moving.

"I love you."
